Pick the pitch that matches your roof - the rise over a twelve-inch run. From 9/12 up, crews tie off and work slower, and the price climbs. The Florida default here is 5/12.

Expect quotes near $10,390 to $15,840 for a standard shingle re-roof in Orlando, FL; that figure assumes a typical 1,960 sq. ft. single-story house. The roof itself measures about 2,215 sq. ft. (22.1 squares) at a 5/12 slope, and the price includes labor, materials and removal of the existing layer.

Per square - the hundred-square-foot unit every roofing bid uses - this job lands at $572.08 installed. The same roof in architectural 50-year shingles is $11,550 to $17,610. Metal begins with steel shingles at roughly $22,360.

Metro costs lift the price here by about $350 over the Florida figure ($10,110 to $15,410). Orlando covers 49 ZIP codes in Orange and Brevard counties; roofers based anywhere in that area usually quote these prices.

Comparing Roof Materials and Prices in Orlando, FL

Your material choice moves the total more than any other decision. This table keeps the 2,215 sq. ft. roof fixed and swaps only what goes on top, old layer removal included.

Where the numbers come from: the roof replacement calculator for shingles, the metal roof calculator for metal and the flat roof calculator for flat membranes, each set to South Atlantic pricing - 4% below the U.S. average for shingles and metal.

Price per Year of Roof

The real cost of a roof is price divided by the years it lasts. Hover a bar: metal costs more up front and less per year.

What Pushes a Orlando, FL Roof Quote Up or Down

When two quotes for the same house are far apart, the gap is usually scope. Here is what each common variable is worth on the 22.1-square roof above:

• Tear-off. About $3,040 of the quote pays to strip and dispose of one layer; if the roofer finds two layers, figure another $1,970 or so.
• Hips and valleys. Take a basic gable as the baseline. A hip layout costs roughly $1,250 above it; dormers and valleys scattered across the roof cost about $2,120 above it.
• Stories. Put this roof on a two-story house and the bid rises by about $900 for the extra climbing, staging and hauling.
• Skylights. Swapping or adding a skylight costs around $350 each at Orlando, FL rates.
• Roof deck. Ask every bidder for a per-sheet plywood or OSB price. It turns the biggest unknown on the job into a known number.
• Accessories. Ridge vents, pipe flashing and drip edge belong in the scope. If the gutters are due too, run them through the gutter cost calculator.
• Town fees. Building permits and container rental are local costs; check whether each bid includes them.

A fair comparison holds scope constant - same layers off, same underlayment, same flashing and vent work, same decking terms. Then price decides.

Florida Climate and Roof Wear

Climate Region 5 on the map below covers Florida. Average winter highs run about 70°F, overnight lows about 47°F, and summer afternoons about 93°F. What that means for materials and installation in Florida:

Where Shingles Live Longest: the Climate Bell

Asphalt life peaks in the moderate middle (Region 3) and falls toward BOTH ends of the map above - cold regions destroy shingles with ice dams, hot ones bake them. Note the middle columns: shingles marketed as “lifetime” are good for about 25 real-world years at best - Florida is Region 5. Hover any column.

Is Metal Worth It in Orlando, FL?

Most metal bids in Orlando, FL fall into one of the types below. Each line is priced for a typical 1,960 sq. ft. single-story house, the same way our metal roof calculator does it.

• Standing seam: $29,810 to $45,440. One panel covers the whole run from the ridge down to the gutter, so water has almost no joints to find. Roofers like it on low pitches and simple gables. The premium over architectural shingles here is roughly $22,270.
• Steel shingles: $22,360 to $34,080. Aluminum shingles: $24,730 to $37,690. Pressed metal pieces shaped like shakes, slate or ordinary shingles. They interlock, so they handle cut-up roofs with valleys and dormers where long panels waste metal. Aluminum will not rust, which counts near salt water. Steel is stiffer and dents less.
• Stone-coated steel: $30,440 to $46,400. Steel panels covered in crushed stone and shaped like clay tile or wood shake. The texture hides hail marks and softens rain noise.
• Copper: custom quote only. We do not price copper, because every copper roof is custom work. Expect it to cost well above standing seam. It is soft, formed by hand, and can last a century, turning brown and then green. Most homes use it on bay windows, porch roofs and other accents.

Coastal homes should look at aluminum panels or coastal-warranted steel, with matching corrosion-resistant fasteners. Think about your timeline: metal's higher price spreads across many more years, but only if you are there to use them. Use the metal roof calculator to price your exact panel type.

Roofing Season in Orlando, FL

The hottest weeks slow crews and soften shingles. Schedule for the cooler months; winter highs around 70°F keep work comfortable.

Storm chasers follow hail and wind. Hire a roofer with a local office and proof of insurance, and never sign over insurance proceeds on the spot.

Orlando, FL Flat Roof Replacement Cost

Membrane roofing covers what shingles cannot: flat porches, garages, additions and row-house tops. On a 1,960 sq. ft. footprint:

• EPDM rubber: $15,350 to $19,940. Think of a heavy inner tube spread over the deck. The seams are glued, not welded, and over time they are its weak spot. It earns its place on small, simple roofs and in cold places.
• TPO, 60-mil: $13,210 to $17,160. White plastic sheet, welded at the seams. It stays light for years and keeps the rooms below cooler. Quality varies by maker more than with the other two, so ask which product the bid names.
• PVC, 60-mil: $15,980 to $20,750. Also white and heat-welded, but tougher against grease, chemicals and standing water. It is the pick for roof decks, low spots that hold puddles, and anything near a kitchen exhaust.

From cheapest to most expensive here: TPO, then EPDM, then PVC. Both insulation board and old-layer removal are in the numbers. Per square foot, small flat roofs cost noticeably more than large ones. The flat roof calculator handles other membranes and insulation levels.

Common Questions About Re-Roofing in Orlando, FL

What is the usual timeline for a re-roof?

A typical 22.1-square asphalt job takes from one day to a few, depending on layers, pitch and weather. Metal and cut-up roofs take longer. Any section left open overnight should be covered.

When does a home policy pay for roofing?

Insurance covers storm and impact damage, not wear. A worn-out roof is a maintenance cost - here about $10,390 to $15,840 for asphalt. After a storm, take photos and have a roofer look before you open a claim. Look for a wind or hail deductible in your Florida policy; it is often figured as a percentage, not a dollar amount.

How many squares is my roof?

Take the footprint (1,960 sq. ft. here) and adjust for pitch (5/12): about 22.1 squares, or 2,215 sq. ft., counting overhang and waste. Get the square count on every quote.

Does a re-roof in Florida require a permit?

Often yes. Most local building departments want a permit for a full replacement. The contractor normally handles it - ask to see it before work starts.
