FAQ

Orlando General Contractor & Roofing Contractor FAQs

Florida’s unique climate brings challenges like high humidity, strong winds, and frequent storms. Common roofing issues include shingle damage, roof leaks, algae growth, and wear from UV exposure. Regular inspections can help address these issues early.

The cost of a new roof in Orlando typically ranges from $8,000 to $40,000, depending on several factors. For an average 2,000-square-foot home, an asphalt shingle roof generally costs between $8,000-$20,000, while metal roofing ranges from $15,000-$25,000, and tile roofing can cost $20,000-$40,000. These prices reflect Orlando’s specific market conditions and building requirements.

Key factors affecting your roof cost include:

  • Roofing material choice
  • Home size and roof complexity
  • Current roof condition and removal needs
  • Local building codes and permits
  • Hurricane-resistant requirements

At TT Construction and Roofing, we provide free, detailed estimates that include all materials, labor, permits, and warranties. We also offer financing options to help make your new roof more affordable. Contact us today for a personalized quote.

A typical roof replacement in Orlando takes 3-5 days for most residential properties. However, several factors can affect this timeline:

Weather Considerations:

  • During Florida’s rainy season (June-November), we carefully plan installations around weather forecasts
  • Our team monitors real-time weather conditions to protect your home during installation
  • We use high-quality water-resistant underlayment for additional protection

Our Process:

  • Day 1: Removal of old roofing materials
  • Days 2-3: Installation of new underlayment and primary roofing materials
  • Days 4-5: Finishing touches, cleanup, and final inspection

We understand that roof replacement can be disruptive, so we work efficiently while maintaining the highest quality standards. Our project managers keep you informed throughout the process and ensure minimal disruption to your daily routine.”

Most roof repairs and all complete roof replacements require a building permit. As your local roofing contractor, we handle the entire permitting process for you:

Permit Requirements:

  • Complete roof replacements always require permits
  • Repairs affecting more than 25% of the roof area need permits
  • Minor repairs under 25% may not require permits

Our Permit Service:

  • We handle all permit applications and documentation
  • Typical permit approval takes 5-10 business days
  • All work meets or exceeds the building codes
  • We coordinate required inspections

TT Construction and Roofing ensures all work is properly permitted and compliant with local regulations, protecting your investment and home’s value.”
