Your roof has been on your mind lately. Maybe there’s a ceiling stain that showed up after hurricane season, or the insurance company wants a roof inspection before it renews your policy. You need a roofing contractor in Orlando who’ll give you a straight answer, and you’re not sure who that is.
Most homeowners and building owners feel the same way. Roofs are expensive, the damage is hard to judge from the ground and every storm brings a new round of door-knockers promising the world. You deserve a local contractor who explains what’s going on, shows you the proof and leaves the decision to you.
APC Roofing is based in Clermont, just west of Orlando, and has served Central Florida since 2017. We’re a GAF Certified contractor, licensed in Florida (CCC1337030) and insured. Your inspection and estimate are free.
What Orlando weather asks of a roof
Heat does most of the slow damage. Orlando’s sun is strong nearly every month of the year, and on a summer afternoon a dark shingle roof gets far hotter than the air around it. That heat ages the asphalt, dries out the rubber boots around plumbing pipes and wears down the underlayment hidden under tile.
Rain does the sudden damage. From late spring into fall, thunderstorms build over the area on many afternoons, and they bring hard rain with gusty wind behind it. A loose shingle edge or a cracked tile that wouldn’t matter in a light shower lets water in during one of those.
Then, from June 1 through November 30, there’s hurricane season. Storms crossing the peninsula can bring hours of strong wind to Orange County even when the center passes miles away. Add the humidity, which keeps roofs damp and feeds the dark algae streaks on so many shingle roofs, and it’s clear why an Orlando roof deserves a closer look than a glance from the driveway.
The roofs we work on around Orlando
Orlando has just about every kind of roof, from shingle roofs on older homes near the city’s center to concrete tile across newer subdivisions and flat roofs on porches, additions and commercial buildings. APC works on all of them:
- Shingle roofs, repaired or replaced with architectural shingles
- Tile roofing, clay and concrete, including the underlayment beneath it
- Metal roofing, standing seam and other metal systems that handle wind and heat well
- Flat roofing, including TPO, EPDM and built-up systems for homes and light commercial buildings
- Commercial roofing, repair, re-roof and new installs
- Gutters, siding and solar, with residential solar through our licensed solar partner
If energy use is part of your thinking, ask about lighter, more reflective roof options. Light-colored metal and white TPO membranes reflect more sunlight than dark shingles, and in Orlando’s heat that can make the rooms under the roof more comfortable.
Repair or replacement in Orlando?
Most people calling a roofing contractor in Orlando want this answered first.
A roof repair in Orlando is usually the right call when damage is limited to one area and the rest of the roof is sound: a few blown-off shingles, some cracked tiles, a failed vent boot. A replacement makes more sense when leaks keep coming back, damage is spread across the roof or the roof is near the end of its life.
Florida adds two wrinkles. The building code has its own rules on how much of a roof can be repaired before more of it must meet current code. And Florida insurers look closely at a roof’s age and condition. A roof inspection in Orlando with photos tells you where you stand on both before you spend anything.
For Orlando businesses and property managers
A leaking commercial roof costs more than the repair. It means wet inventory, damaged ceiling tiles and unhappy tenants. Many commercial buildings around Orlando have flat or low-slope roofs, which hold water longer and need different materials and methods than a house. APC handles commercial repair, re-roofing and replacement on flat and low-slope systems, and you’ll get a clear scope and photos so you can make the call, or take it to your board or owner.
Storm damage and insurance
If a storm damaged your roof, here’s how it works. You file your own claim with your insurance company, and you pay your own deductible. We document the damage with photos, give you a written estimate and work with your adjuster. Be wary of anyone who offers to waive or cover your deductible. Trust matters.
How it works with APC Roofing
- Book your free inspection. Call 407-270-1129 or request a free estimate online.
- Get a clear, honest assessment and estimate. You’ll see photos of what we found and hear plainly whether it’s a repair or a replacement. Financing is available through Aqua Finance, Fortifi, Hearth and Home Run Finance if you’d like to spread out the cost.
- Your roof gets done and the site gets cleaned up. Many residential roofs are finished in a single day, and the crew cleans up before leaving.
A slow leak rarely stays small. Water can soak insulation and rot decking for months before a stain shows on the ceiling, and by then the repair is bigger than it had to be.
Questions Orlando homeowners ask
Is the roof inspection really free?
Yes. The inspection and the written estimate are free, and there’s no obligation to hire us.
Do you have an office in Orlando?
Our main office is in Clermont, a short drive west of Orlando, and our crews work throughout the Orlando area.
What kind of roof is best for Orlando?
For most homes, architectural shingles are the practical choice. Tile and metal cost more up front and hold up well to Florida heat and wind, so they’re worth a look if you plan to stay a long time. Your house’s framing and your HOA’s rules can narrow the options too.
Do you work on commercial flat roofs?
Yes. We repair and replace flat and low-slope commercial roofs, including TPO, EPDM and built-up systems.
