Roofing Company In Orlando, FL
Your roof takes more abuse in Central Florida than almost anywhere else in the country. Afternoon storms roll through most days from June through September. UV exposure runs year round. Then hurricane season arrives and puts everything to the test at once. A roof that would last thirty years in Ohio does not get thirty years here.
Global Arch Construction is a residential roofing contractor in Orlando, FL. We work on houses. That is the whole focus, and it is why we know what a 1960s College Park bungalow needs versus a barrel tile roof in Dr. Phillips versus a low-slope addition someone put on in 2004 without a permit. Founder Alexandru Cosiuc built this company around residential design-build work, and roofing has always been part of that.
If something is leaking, if your insurer is asking questions about roof age, or if you just want someone to climb up and tell you honestly how much life is left, call (407) 989-3960. The inspection does not cost you anything.
Our Residential Roofing Services
Roof Replacement In Orlando, FL
Full roof replacement means tearing off what is there, inspecting the decking underneath, and rebuilding the whole assembly properly. That last part matters more than most homeowners realize. Rotted or delaminated plywood gets replaced, not covered over. Fasteners go in at the spacing the Florida Building Code requires for our wind zone. A secondary water barrier goes down over the deck so that if wind lifts a shingle during a storm, water still has something to stop it. We handle the permit and the inspections, and we walk the property with a magnet when the job is finished, because roofing nails and bare feet are a bad combination.
Shingle Roof Replacement In College Park, FL
Most of the older homes around College Park, Baldwin Park, Audubon Park, and the Milk District are on architectural asphalt shingles, and shingle roof replacement in College Park, FL is some of the most common work we do. Older neighborhoods bring their own quirks. Skip sheathing under the deck, brittle 1950s framing, multiple layers stacked from previous reroofs, and mature oak canopy dropping debris into every valley. We tear down to the deck, fix what we find, and install a wind rated architectural shingle rated for Central Florida exposure. If your street falls under a historic overlay, we deal with the approval process too.
Tile Roof Repair In Orlando, FL
Tile roofs confuse people, because the tile itself can last fifty years while the underlayment underneath fails in twenty. When a tile roof leaks, the tile is usually fine. The felt or synthetic membrane under it is not. We do tile roof repair in Orlando, FL on both barrel and flat concrete profiles, which covers most of what you see in Hunters Creek, Lake Nona, and the Windermere corridor. That includes cracked and slipped tile replacement, valley metal repair, ridge and hip re-mortaring, and underlayment replacement in sections where the failure is localized. We source replacement tile to match your existing profile and color so a repair does not announce itself from the street.
Metal Roofing Contractor In Orlando, FL
Standing seam metal has gotten popular in Central Florida for good reason. It sheds water fast, handles wind uplift well when it is fastened correctly, reflects heat instead of absorbing it, and it does not have granules to lose. As a metal roofing contractor in Orlando, FL we install standing seam panels with concealed clips, along with exposed fastener 5V crimp for outbuildings, garages, and porch roofs where the look fits. The details are where metal roofs live or die: panel expansion, penetration flashing, hip and ridge closures, and the substrate underneath. We do not shortcut any of them.
Flat Roof Replacement In Orlando, FL
Almost nobody has an entirely flat house here, but plenty of Orlando homes have low-slope sections. Screened porch roofs, room additions, carports, Florida modern builds. Those sections tend to be the first thing to fail on the whole property, because a low-slope roof depends completely on the membrane rather than on gravity moving water off it. For flat roof replacement in Orlando, FL we install modified bitumen and single ply TPO systems, rebuild tapered insulation so water actually runs to the drain instead of ponding, and reflash every wall tie-in and penetration. Ponding water on a low-slope roof is not cosmetic. It is a leak that has not happened yet.
Roof Leak Repair In Baldwin Park, FL
Water shows up on the ceiling in one spot and starts somewhere else entirely. It travels along rafters, down truss webs, and behind drywall before it ever stains anything you can see. Our roof leak repair in Baldwin Park, FL starts with finding the actual entry point rather than patching where the drip lands. Most of the leaks we trace come from the same handful of places: pipe boot cracks, chimney and wall flashing, valley metal, skylight curbs, and nail pops that worked loose. If the leak has been going a while and the decking or interior finishes are already damaged, we can handle that repair too through our water damage restoration crew, so you are not chasing two contractors.
Free Roof Inspection In Orlando, FL
A free roof inspection in Orlando, FL gets you a real assessment, not a sales visit dressed up as one. We get on the roof where it is safe to do so, check the attic side for daylight and moisture, photograph what we find, and give you a written summary with an honest read on remaining service life. Sometimes the answer is that you have six good years left and should call us in five. We would rather tell you that than sell you a roof you do not need yet. This is also the report your insurance carrier will ask for when they want documentation of roof condition or age at renewal.

Signs Your Roof Needs Attention
You do not need to be an expert to catch most of these. Walk your property after the next big storm and look for:
- Shingle granules collecting in gutters or at the bottom of downspouts
- Shingles that are curled at the edges, cupped in the middle, or missing entirely
- Cracked, slipped, or broken tiles, and mortar crumbling along the ridge line
- Water stains on ceilings or along the top of interior walls
- Daylight visible through the attic roof deck
- A sagging line anywhere along the ridge or between rafters
- Rust streaks or lifted seams on metal panels
- Standing water still sitting on a low-slope section a day after the rain stopped
- An insurance carrier asking for a roof inspection before they renew your policy
Any one of these is worth a look. Two or more together usually means the clock has been running for a while.
How We Work
Roofing has a reputation problem in Florida, most of it earned by storm-chasing outfits that show up after a hurricane and vanish before the first callback. Here is how we actually run a job.
Inspection
We come out, get on the roof, check the attic, and photograph everything. You get the photos.
Written Scope
You receive a document that says what we are doing, what materials we are using, and what happens if we open the roof and find rotted decking. No surprises invented halfway through.
Permit And Scheduling
We pull the permit with the City of Orlando or Orange, Osceola, Lake, or Seminole County, whichever applies, and we schedule around the weather rather than pretending Florida summer afternoons are predictable.
Tear-Off And Deck Repair
Old material comes off, decking gets inspected, and anything soft or delaminated gets replaced before the new system goes on.
Installation
Underlayment, flashing, and the roofing system itself, installed to manufacturer specification so your warranty stays valid.
Inspection And Cleanup
County or city inspector signs off. We magnet-sweep the yard and driveway, haul off the debris, and walk the job with you.
Roofing Materials That Hold Up In Central Florida
Material choice here is not really about looks. It is about UV, wind, and how the material behaves after fifteen years of heat cycling.
Architectural asphalt shingle is the most common choice, and for good reason. It costs less up front, matches most Orlando neighborhoods, and modern wind rated products perform well when the fastening pattern and starter course are done right. Expect somewhere in the fifteen to twenty-five year range depending on exposure and tree cover.
Concrete tile lasts a very long time and looks right on Mediterranean and Spanish revival homes, which is most of the newer subdivision stock around Orlando. Just understand that you are on an underlayment replacement cycle well before the tile itself is done.
Standing seam metal costs more at install and usually outlives both of the above. It reflects heat, which shows up on your summer power bill, and it pairs well if you are considering solar panel installation later, since panel mounting on standing seam does not require penetrating the roof.
Modified bitumen and TPO are for the low-slope sections. Neither is a whole-house solution in a residential setting, but both are the right answer where pitch drops below what shingle or tile can handle.
We will tell you which one makes sense for your house and your timeline. If you plan to sell in three years, that changes the math.
Areas We Serve
If you are searching for a roofing company near me anywhere in the Orlando metro, we most likely cover you. Our office is in south Orlando and our crews work across Orange, Osceola, Seminole, and Lake counties.
Orlando
Downtown, College Park, Baldwin Park, Audubon Park, Delaney Park, Conway, Dr. Phillips, Hunters Creek, Lake Nona, MetroWest, and the surrounding neighborhoods. The housing stock varies enormously across these areas, and so does what a roof needs.
Baldwin Park
Homes here are mostly early-2000s construction on a tight lot grid, which means the original roofs are now well into replacement territory. Roof leak repair in Baldwin Park, FL is steady work for us, and a lot of it traces back to pipe boots and flashing that aged out on schedule.
College Park
Older bungalows, tighter access, mature oak canopy, and frequently more than one layer of roofing history to remove. Shingle roof replacement in College Park, FL is a different job than the same square footage out in a newer subdivision, and it gets priced and scheduled accordingly.
Kissimmee
Homeowners in Kissimmee often come to us looking for an affordable roofing company that is not going to cut corners to get there. Those two things are not in conflict. We keep costs sane through accurate scoping and clean scheduling rather than by thinning out material specs or skipping deck repair.
Also Serving
Winter Garden, Clermont, St. Cloud, Winter Park, Windermere, Apopka, Oviedo, Bay Lake, Ocala, and Tampa.
Why Homeowners Choose Global Arch Construction
We are a residential design-build general contractor, not a roofing-only shop. That matters more than it sounds. When we open a roof and find that the leak has been running down inside a wall for two years, we can handle the framing, the drywall, the siding, and the paint. You are not left holding a dried-in roof and a list of other people to call.
We also do not chase storms. We are based in Orlando year round, at a fixed address, and the same company that answers the phone in July answers it in February. If something is wrong with our work six months later, we are still here.
And we will tell you no. If your roof has real life left in it, we will say so and put it in writing. Selling a homeowner a replacement they did not need is how a company burns through a neighborhood in one season.
Roofing is part of our broader exterior work, alongside storm damage repairs and the rest of our residential services.
Frequently Asked Questions
How Long Does A Roof Last In Orlando, FL?
Less than the box says. Asphalt shingle typically runs fifteen to twenty-five years here, concrete tile can go decades on the tile itself but needs underlayment work around the twenty year mark, and metal often passes forty. Heavy tree cover, poor attic ventilation, and direct west-facing sun all shorten those numbers.
Do You Really Do Free Roof Inspections?
Yes. No cost, no obligation, and you get the photos and the written summary whether or not you hire us.
Can You Repair My Roof Instead Of Replacing It?
Often, yes. If the damage is localized and the rest of the roof still has service life, a repair is the right call and we will recommend it. When the underlayment is failing across the whole roof or the decking is compromised in multiple areas, patching just buys a few months.
How Long Does A Roof Replacement Take?
Most single family homes take two to four days of active work. Tile takes longer than shingle. Weather moves things, and so does what we find when the old roof comes off. We will give you a realistic window before we start.
Will My Homeowners Insurance Cover A New Roof?
It depends on why the roof failed. Sudden damage from a named storm or a fallen limb is usually a covered peril. Gradual wear from age generally is not. Our inspection report documents what we find and when, which is what your carrier will want to see either way. Your adjuster makes the coverage call, not us.
Do I Need A Permit To Replace My Roof In Orlando?
Yes. Roof replacement requires a permit and a final inspection throughout Orange County and the surrounding municipalities. We pull it and we schedule the inspection. If a contractor offers to skip the permit, that should end the conversation.
What Should I Do If My Roof Is Leaking Right Now?
Move what you can out from under it, put a container down, and if the ceiling is bulging with trapped water, poke a small hole at the low point to let it drain in one controlled spot rather than letting it collapse. Then call us at (407) 989-3960. Do not get on a wet roof yourself.
