Long cooling seasons and heavy summer rain drive the two problems we see most here: moisture getting into assemblies, and anything that traps it staying wet.
Most leaks are not the field of the roof. They are penetrations and transitions - step flashing at walls, pipe boots, valleys, chimney counterflashing. A roof can look sound and still leak at a boot that has gone brittle.
Storm claims turn on documentation. Photographed hail bruising and lifted shingles, recorded before any tarping, is the difference between a paid claim and a denial.
What the job includes
- Full tear-off and replacement
- Leak diagnosis and targeted repair
- Flashing, valley and boot replacement
- Decking repair and ventilation
- Metal and low-slope systems
- Storm damage documentation for claims
Homes in Orlando and roofing work
Public figures for the city of Orlando in Orange County, not the metro, and the general practice that follows.
The median home in the city of Orlando was built in 1992, newer than the U.S. median of 1980 and newer than the Florida median of 1988.1 Most of Orlando's housing is recent: only 33% of units predate 1980 (U.S. 50%) and 20% were built since 2010.1 Newer roofs are often still inside a manufacturer warranty, so the first question on a repair is whether the original installer's workmanship warranty or the shingle warranty applies. Rainfall is substantial: about 51 inches a year, 15 days of it an inch or more.2,3 Where heavy-rain days are common, the quote should name the underlayment and the valley and flashing details, which is where most leaks start.
Measurable snow is rare (about 0 inches a year).2,3 Heat is the governing season: about 110 days a year reach 90°F and 0 reach 100°F.2,3 Long hot seasons shorten the life of dark asphalt shingles; a quote should state the shingle's rated wind and heat performance and whether a lighter color or a metal system is sensible. The coast is about 42 miles away, so storm systems arrive without salt air.4,5
Owner-occupied homes in Orlando are older than rentals: a median build year of 1988 against 1995.1 Where owner-occupied homes skew older, a repair-versus-replace conversation is the usual starting point rather than a like-for-like swap. Building permits in Orlando are normally issued by the city building department.6,7 Re-roofing permits, where required, are filed by the contractor with the city before work starts.
