Getting roofing quotes in Orlando
Fill in the form above and our matching partner Networx will pass your request to up to three Orlando-area roofing companies that cover your ZIP code. Each one contacts you directly, looks at the roof and gives you its own quote. It costs you nothing, and you don’t have to hire any of them.
In Orlando, two quotes for the same roof often differ because of what the code requires on your particular house, not because one roofer is cheaper. The city also checks that work twice: once partway through the job and once at the end. A roofer who plans for both inspections is pricing the job the city will actually pass. The sections below show a fair Orlando price, the dates that change the job, and what each inspection looks for.
How much does a new roof cost in Orlando?
A new architectural shingle roof in Orlando costs about $6.50 to $8.50 per square foot installed, or roughly $14,950 to $19,550 on a typical 2,000 sq ft house with about 2,300 sq ft of roof. That’s above our national roof cost guide, where the same shingles run $4.50 to $7.50.
| Roof area | Architectural shingles ($6.50–$8.50/sq ft) |
Standing seam metal ($10–$16/sq ft) |
Concrete tile ($11–$20/sq ft) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1,800 sq ft | $11,700–$15,300 | $18,000–$28,800 | $19,800–$36,000 |
| 2,300 sq ft | $14,950–$19,550 | $23,000–$36,800 | $25,300–$46,000 |
| 3,000 sq ft | $19,500–$25,500 | $30,000–$48,000 | $33,000–$60,000 |
Compare quotes on roof area, not house size. A roof is usually 10 to 20 percent bigger than the floor it covers, and more on a steep one, so check that each roofer measured roughly the same area; a quote that looks cheap sometimes just counts less roof. Then look at decking. Nobody knows how much is rotten until the old roof is off, so a fair quote gives a price per sheet rather than “as needed”.
Shingle rates are RoofingCalc’s Florida cost data’s central Florida figures, updated March 2025; its statewide range is $6 to $8.50. Metal and tile rates are statewide, because RoofingCalc doesn’t split them by region.
Why two Orlando quotes for the same roof don’t match
Start with the year your house was built. If it was before the Florida Building Code took effect on March 1, 2002, a reroof has to include re-nailing the roof deck and a secondary water barrier. In a wind-borne debris region, a home valued at $300,000 or more must also put up to 15% of the reroof cost into stronger roof-to-wall connections. One Orlando roofer may have priced all of that and another none of it, so ask each one, in writing, which of these items the price includes. The University of Florida’s wind speed and debris region maps show whether your address is in a debris region.
Then the year the roof was last replaced. A roof done under the 2007 code or later is exempt from the old 25% rule, so a repair to part of it doesn’t force a whole new roof. If a roofer recommends full replacement after damage to one section of a newer roof, ask why.
Our Florida guide sets out each of these rules and its source.
The two inspections every Orlando reroof needs
The City of Orlando requires two inspections on every reroof. The first is a dry-in, or in-progress, inspection, mandatory since January 1, 2020, made before the new covering hides the deck. The second is the final inspection, which needs a signed affidavit confirming the roof deck was nailed down and a secondary water barrier was installed.
The dry-in matters because it can’t be done after the fact. If it’s skipped, the city says the final inspection may be disapproved and part or all of the roof covering may have to come off. Before you sign, ask each roofer whether they’ll book the dry-in inspection and whether you’ll get a copy of the final affidavit. A quote that skips those steps is pricing a job the city won’t pass.
On a job over $5,000, the city also requires a recorded Notice of Commencement. Outside city limits, Orange County also requires an in-progress and a final inspection on reroofs.
Reroofing in an Orlando historic district
Orlando has six historic districts: Downtown, Lake Cherokee, Lake Copeland, Lake Eola Heights, Lake Lawsona and Colonialtown South. Exterior work in them needs a Certificate of Appropriateness, and Downtown uses its own appearance review instead. In Lake Copeland and Lake Eola Heights, re-roofing with matching materials counts as a minor review, which the city says takes 2 to 10 days.
Changes that go to a formal hearing take about seven weeks from the application deadline. If you’re weighing a switch from shingles to metal or tile, ask the city which track it falls under before you sign, and build the wait into your schedule.
How matching works, and how to check an Orlando roofer
When you request quotes, your details go to Networx, our matching partner. Networx screens contractors before they join its network, and we don’t check them ourselves, so a few minutes of checking is worth it. Florida makes that easy, because roofers have to be licensed. Look up each company on the state licensing site and confirm the license is active and is a roofing or general contractor license. A certified contractor can work anywhere in Florida; a registered one only where they qualified.
Watch the deposit. A roofer who takes more than 10% up front must apply for permits within 30 days and start within 90 days of the permits being issued, under section 489.126. Get the payment schedule in writing. Our questions to ask a roofer cover the rest.
Roof repair and inspection in Orlando
Not every leak needs a new roof. Most roof repairs cost about $400 to $2,000 nationally, and a leak with no damage inside usually runs $360 to $1,550; our roof repair cost guide has prices for each common problem. If the roof was replaced under the 2007 code or later, a repair to part of it only has to bring that part up to code.
Two kinds of inspection are easy to mix up. A roof inspection tells you the roof’s condition and is often free when a roofer is quoting work. A wind mitigation inspection fills in the state’s form for your insurer and is what earns wind discounts; the state’s My Safe Florida Home program has offered these free to eligible homeowners.
Metal roofing in Orlando
Standing seam metal costs about $10 to $16 per square foot in Florida, or roughly $23,000–$36,800 on a typical 2,000 sq ft house. It lasts far longer than shingles, so over a full lifetime the cost per year comes out close. That makes metal a question of how long you’ll stay rather than a cheaper roof; our metal vs shingles comparison works through the numbers.
In a historic district, switching from shingles to metal changes the material, so ask the city about review first. Ask your insurer, too, how a metal roof would be recorded on your wind mitigation form, so you know what it does to your premium before you pay for it.
Permits and insurance claims in Orlando
Your roofer should pull the building permit. Inside city limits, it comes from the City of Orlando’s Permitting Services Division at 400 South Orange Avenue, (407) 246-2271. If you’re doing the work yourself, Florida’s owner-builder form has to be signed in person at that office.
Plenty of Orlando mailing addresses are outside city limits. In unincorporated Orange County, the permit comes from the county’s Division of Building Safety at 201 South Rosalind Avenue, (407) 836-5550, and roofers apply through its Fast Track system. Edgewood residents need the city’s approval before applying to the county. If you live in another city in the area, check with that city. Either way, ask for the permit number and check it yourself before work starts.
If insurance is paying, three Florida rules apply. Notice of a claim has to reach your insurer within one year of the date of loss. On a policy issued on or after January 1, 2023, you can’t sign your benefits over to a roofer. And a roofer can’t interpret your policy for you unless they’re a licensed public adjuster. Our guide to getting your roof paid by insurance covers the process.
