Roofing Company across Central Florida

Central Florida is where our office is, and it is the region we know in the most detail. Orlando, Kissimmee, Sanford, Winter Park, Altamonte Springs, Daytona Beach, Melbourne and Lakeland sit within about 130 kilometres of each other, and the roofing stock across them is more similar than the map suggests: asphalt shingle dominates, the afternoon storms are violent and brief, and almost no building in the region is inside a High-Velocity Hurricane Zone.

Which Cities Do We Cover Here?

Orlando, Kissimmee, Sanford, Winter Park, Altamonte Springs, Daytona Beach, Melbourne and Lakeland, plus the communities between them. Our head office is at 4720 Millenia Blvd, Suite 175, Orlando, FL 32839, which is the only office we operate. Every other region on this site is served from here.

What Makes Central Florida Roofing Different?

The rain pattern. Between June and November the region runs on convective storms that build through the afternoon and drop intense rain in a short window, often with lightning and gusty wind. Roofs here are tested by volume in a short time rather than by prolonged wind, and the details that fail first are the ones where water can pond or back up: valleys, wall junctions, and the flashings around penetrations.

Shingle is the dominant covering across Orlando, Kissimmee and the northern suburbs, which means the regional failure mode is underlayment reaching the end of its life beneath a shingle surface that still looks presentable. Algae streaking is common on shingle roofs here, because humid air and shaded slopes keep the surface damp long after the rain has gone.

Permits and Code Across Central Florida

Roofing work is permitted by the local building department under the Florida Building Code, and in this region that means the city or the county that covers the address: the City of Orlando and Orange County are separate jurisdictions, and Kissimmee, Sanford, Altamonte Springs, Daytona Beach, Melbourne and Lakeland each sit within their own city and county processes in Osceola, Seminole, Volusia, Brevard and Polk counties.

The High-Velocity Hurricane Zone does not apply in Central Florida. The wind provisions of the Florida Building Code do apply, the design wind speed for a site is a published value, and roof coverings are approved products whose fastening patterns are part of that approval.

Roof Types Across Central Florida

Asphalt shingle is the main residential covering. Tile appears in newer subdivisions and on Mediterranean-style developments, particularly around Winter Park and the southern suburbs. Metal has grown steadily on both new and older homes. Low-slope membranes cover commercial buildings and the flat-roofed mid-century houses that appear throughout Orlando and Daytona Beach.

For a homeowner, that mix means the first question on any roof is what is actually up there and how old it is. A 1990s shingle roof on its second covering, a 2000s tile roof with original underlayment and a 1960s flat roof all need different answers, and none of them can be judged from the street.

What to Have Ready When You Call

The address, because it decides the permit office. The covering type, or a photograph of it from the ground. The age of the roof if you know it, and whether it has leaked before. And the reason for the call: a leak, storm damage, an insurer's letter, or a plan.

From that, the visit can be planned rather than improvised. Florida Roof Repair Pros, 4720 Millenia Blvd, Suite 175, Orlando, FL 32839, (407) 557-4529.
