New Roof Construction in Orlando, FL
New Roof Construction across Greater Orlando and Central Florida. Licensed and insured, with every job priced in writing before work starts.
New roof construction handles roofing on a structure that has never had one: new builds, room additions, garage conversions, lanai enclosures and structural remodels. It runs from decking and dry-in through to the finished covering, coordinated with your builder's schedule. Orlando Roofing quotes free and in writing.
What the work includes
Sheathing installed and fastened to current code. Dry-in with underlayment so the structure is protected the moment the frame is closed. Then edge metal, valley metal, flashing at every wall and penetration, and the covering: shingle, tile, metal or membrane depending on the design.
Ventilation is designed in rather than added later. Intake at the soffit, exhaust at the ridge, sized to the attic volume. Retrofitting that on a finished house costs several times what it costs to get right during construction.
Why it matters more in Central Florida
A new roof here starts its life under conditions that finish off a sloppy one quickly.
Dry-in timing is the first test. A frame that sits open through an afternoon thunderstorm gets wet sheathing before the roof exists, and that moisture stays in the assembly. We plan dry-in around the forecast, not around the calendar.
Wind is the second. Fastening schedules, edge metal attachment and ridge detailing are what hold a roof down in a hurricane, and they are all invisible once the covering is on. An inspector checks them. A homeowner two years later cannot.
Heat is the third. Underlayment specification matters when deck temperatures climb the way they do here through summer.
The process
We work from your plans, or from the builder's, and price the roof as a defined package: deck, dry-in, flashing, covering, ventilation and permits. If the design has not settled on a material yet, we will price the realistic options side by side.
Then we sequence with the rest of the build. Framing complete, deck on, dry-in, inspection, covering. Additions get particular attention at the tie-in, where the new roof meets the existing one, because that transition is the most common leak point on any addition in this market.
Material choices are covered on the residential roofing page, with detail on tile and metal if the design calls for either.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you work directly with builders and general contractors?
Yes. We can be engaged by the homeowner or by the GC, and we price to the drawings either way. What matters most is being brought in early enough to flag ventilation and tie-in details while they can still be changed on paper rather than on site.
How long does the roof take on a new build?
The covering itself is comparable to a replacement, so one to three days on a typical house and longer on tile. The bigger variable is waiting for framing and inspections. Dry-in usually happens as soon as the deck is complete so the structure is protected while everything else catches up.
Who pulls the permit?
We do, under our roofing license, for the roofing scope. On a larger project where a general contractor holds the master permit, the roofing work is usually covered as a sub-permit under it. Either way it gets pulled before work starts and inspected before the covering goes on.
Can you roof a lanai or patio enclosure?
Yes. These are usually low slope and tie into the main roof, so they need membrane or metal rather than shingle, plus careful flashing at the wall and the transition. Getting the slope and the drainage right at design stage prevents the ponding problem these structures are known for here.
What happens where the new roof meets the old one?
That tie-in gets rebuilt properly rather than butted up and sealed. Existing shingles or tile come back far enough to lace in the new work, with new flashing and underlayment through the transition. Skipping this is why so many additions leak along one line and nowhere else.
