## How Much Does Roof Replacement Cost in Orlando?
Roof replacement costs in Orlando typically range from $5,500 to $15,000 for a standard asphalt shingle roof on a 1,500-square-foot home. For larger homes or premium materials like metal or tile, expect $12,000 to $30,000 or more. We provide detailed, itemized quotes with no hidden fees. Your final price depends on roof size, pitch, material choice, and any decking repairs needed. On average, our customers pay between $7.50 and $12.00 per square foot installed.
### What is the average cost per square foot for roof replacement in Orlando?
For asphalt shingles, expect $7.50–$9.50 per square foot installed. Metal roofing runs $12–$18 per square foot, and concrete or clay tile ranges $15–$25 per square foot. These prices include tear-off, underlayment, flashing, and cleanup.
## What Materials Should You Choose for Your Orlando Roof?
Your material choice affects longevity, energy efficiency, and curb appeal. Here are the top options we install:
- **Architectural Asphalt Shingles**: 25–30 year lifespan, $7.50–$9.50/sq ft. Best value for most Orlando homes. Resists wind up to 130 mph.
- **Metal Roofing**: 40–70 year lifespan, $12–$18/sq ft. Reflects solar heat, lowering AC costs by 10–25%. Ideal for Florida's sun.
- **Concrete or Clay Tile**: 50+ year lifespan, $15–$25/sq ft. Excellent durability but heavier—requires structural reinforcement in some cases.
- **Synthetic Slate**: 40–50 year lifespan, $14–$20/sq ft. Lightweight, impact-resistant, and mimics natural slate.
We help you choose based on your budget, home style, and Orlando's weather patterns. Every material we use meets Florida Building Code requirements.
## How Long Does a Roof Replacement Take in Orlando?
A typical roof replacement takes 2 to 5 days for an asphalt shingle roof on a single-family home. Metal or tile roofs may take 5 to 10 days due to more complex installation. Weather can cause delays—we monitor forecasts closely and protect your home with tarps if rain threatens. We work efficiently without sacrificing quality, and we clean up every day before leaving.
## Our Step-by-Step Roof Replacement Process
We follow a proven process to ensure your new roof is installed right the first time.
### Step 1: Free Inspection and Estimate
We inspect your roof, attic, and decking. We measure accurately and note any underlying issues. Then we provide a written estimate detailing material choices, timeline, and cost. No pressure, no surprises.
### Step 2: Material Selection and Ordering
You choose your shingles, underlayment, vents, and flashing from our curated selection. We order everything in advance so the job starts on schedule.
### Step 3: Tear-Off and Decking Repair
Our crew removes all old shingles, felt, and flashing. We inspect the wood decking for rot or damage. If we find soft spots, we replace those sections at cost—no markup. This step takes 1–2 days.
### Step 4: Underlayment and Ice & Water Shield
We install a synthetic underlayment (stronger than felt) over the entire deck. In valleys and around penetrations, we add ice and water shield for extra leak protection. This layer keeps your home dry even if shingles lift.
### Step 5: Flashing Installation
We replace all flashing around chimneys, skylights, vents, and walls with corrosion-resistant aluminum or galvanized steel. Proper flashing prevents the most common leak points.
### Step 6: Shingle or Panel Installation
We install your chosen material following manufacturer specifications and Florida Building Code. For shingles, we nail each one with 6 nails (industry standard is 4). We stagger joints and cut clean edges. For metal, we fasten panels with hidden clips to prevent leaks.
### Step 7: Ridge Vent and Attic Ventilation
We install ridge vent along the peak and ensure soffit vents are clear. Proper ventilation extends roof life and reduces attic heat—critical in Orlando summers.
### Step 8: Final Inspection and Cleanup
We inspect every seam, nail, and flash. We run magnets over the yard to pick up stray nails. We sweep gutters and haul away all debris. You get a clean property and a thorough final walkthrough.
