Roofing in Orlando, FL

In Orlando the thing pushing most roof decisions is not a leak. It is a letter. Florida insurers have spent recent years making renewal decisions based on how old a roof is rather than what condition it is in, and a roof that is doing its job perfectly well can still be the reason a policy is dropped or a premium doubles.

So a good share of the estimates we write here are for roofs that are not failing. That is a strange thing to say out loud, and it is the honest description of this market.

Why local knowledge matters in Orlando

The second Orlando fact is variety. Housing here runs from 1950s block homes in Conway and Azalea Park to subdivisions finished last year in Lake Nona, and the roofing problem on each is genuinely different — different pitches, different decking, different materials, different rules about what you are allowed to put back.

Which brings the third: almost every newer neighbourhood has an HOA with a view on colour and material. Getting that list before ordering costs nothing. Finding out after a roof is on costs a roof.

• The insurance market is the thing driving roof decisions here more than the weather is
• Carriers have spent recent years non-renewing policies over roof age rather than roof condition
• Housing from the 1950s through to last year, so no two streets have the same roofing problem
• Almost every newer subdivision has an HOA with a view on colour and material
