Cost to Replace a Roof in Orlando, FL (2025)

Most Orlando homeowners pay $8,000–$18,000 for a full roof replacement, with $12,000 being the typical mid-range cost for a 2,000 sq ft home with asphalt shingles.

Asphalt shingles are the most affordable option at $4–$7 per sq ft installed. Metal roofing runs $10–$18/sq ft. Tile — extremely popular in Central Florida — costs $12–$22/sq ft installed. Flat or low-slope roofs typically cost $5,000–$10,000.

Tear-off of the existing roof adds $1–$2 per sq ft. Florida law limits the number of roof layers, so tear-off is often required. Damaged plywood decking — common in older Orlando homes — adds $2–$4 per sq ft to repair.

Roof size and pitch are the biggest cost drivers. A steep-pitch roof costs 30–40% more to replace than a low-slope roof due to additional labor and safety requirements.

Hurricane rating requirements significantly affect material costs. Orange County building codes require wind-rated roofing materials. Impact-resistant shingles and hurricane straps add $1,500–$3,000 but are required in many zones.

Contractor experience matters. Licensed, insured Orlando roofers with strong Google reviews typically charge 10–20% more than less established contractors — but provide significantly better workmanship warranties and are less likely to cut corners on code compliance.

Orlando's rainy season (June–September) causes scheduling delays and can interrupt roofing work. Many contractors are booked 4–8 weeks out following hurricane season. The best time to schedule is October–May.

A roofing permit is required in Orange County for full replacements. Your contractor should pull the permit — be wary of any contractor who asks you to pull it yourself. Permit fees typically run $150–$400. Inspections are required after completion.
