Roof Replacement in University - Written Price, Workmanship Warranty

Fast, Reliable Roof Replacement Across University

Roof replacement in University, FL typically runs $11,500 – $24,000 for a standard asphalt shingle home, with flat roofing on multi-family and commercial structures landing between $9 and $14 per square foot. Most University homes take 3 – 7 days once materials arrive, though county permit reviews tied to septic and well setbacks can add 1 – 3 weeks before we ever set foot on your roof. That upfront honesty matters in a town where too many landlords and homeowners have been burned by no-show crews and price changes at the door. We’re Tilehurst Roofing Orlando, part of the Kingswell family of companies founded in 2000, and Greg Holloway leads our crew with one rule: the written price goes in your hand before a single nail is driven.

Why Tilehurst Roofing Orlando Is University’s Preferred Roof Replacement Company

University sits at a strange intersection of old and new. Mid-century ranch homes off Fletcher Avenue and 22nd Street bake under the same Florida sun as brand-new student townhomes near campus. That mix means we see a lot in a single week: curling asphalt shingles from the 1990s on one street, poorly flashed parapet walls on the next block over. Our Roof Replacement team knows which homes near the university are likely to have multiple shingle layers hiding decking problems, and which newer builds cut corners at roof-to-wall transitions. We stock material options from GAF, CertainTeed, Tamko, and Boral, so the product matches the structure, not whatever happens to be in the truck.

Every Tilehurst Roofing technician is background-checked and uniformed. You’ll know exactly who is on your roof, and a live person answers our phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including evenings and weekends when University landlords finally get around to checking their properties. The 365-Day Done Right Promise means if anything isn’t done right within a full year, we come back and make it right at no charge. Written guarantee before the crew leaves. Free second visit if a repair fails. Those are the Kingswell Way values: say the price before the work, show up in the window we gave, put it in writing, come back if it fails.

Reroofing in University

Reroofing in University means tearing off the old shingles, repairing or replacing damaged decking, installing new underlayment, drip edge, and flashing, then laying a new shingle system. It’s the standard path for most older homes here. A typical asphalt shingle reroof on a University ranch runs $11,500 – $18,000, while architectural shingles push the range to $16,000 – $24,000 depending on square footage, pitch, and what we find underneath.

What We Find Under Old Shingles

Multiple layers of shingles are common on University rental properties, where quick reroofs between tenants stacked new shingles over old to save money. That layering hides decking rot, adds weight that can exceed county live-load limits for older trusses, and forces us to strip everything to bare wood before we can quote accurately. The written price covers the full scope we can see, plus a defined process for what we may find once tear-off begins.

County Permits and Septic Setbacks

Unlike neighboring unincorporated areas, University’s rental-heavy zoning means many re-roofs trigger county permit reviews for septic and well setbacks. Even a straight shingle replacement can add 1 – 3 weeks to the schedule before materials arrive. We handle the permit paperwork and coordinate the inspections, so the delay is upfront, not a surprise two days before installation.

Flat Roof Replacement in University

Flat Roof Replacement in University covers the low-slope and flat roofs common on multi-family apartments, student housing, and commercial buildings near campus. These systems use membrane materials like TPO or modified bitumen rather than shingles. Pricing runs $9 – $14 per square foot installed, so a 1,000-square-foot flat roof replacement typically lands between $9,000 and $14,000 in University.

Newer Construction, Older Problems

New construction near campus often skips proper flashing at roof-to-wall transitions. We see leaks at parapet walls and water intrusion at student move-in time every August. Flat roofs on these buildings also tend to hold water at low points where drainage was an afterthought, which shortens membrane life dramatically. We evaluate drainage before we quote, because adding tapered insulation or a new scupper changes the scope and the honest price.

Commercial and Multi-Family Scope

Flat roof replacement on a University apartment building usually includes tear-off of the old membrane, inspection of the substrate, insulation or cover board replacement, and new membrane with properly sealed flashings. For landlords managing occupied units, we stage work in sections to keep tenants safe and the building watertight. The written price includes disposal, permitting, and a 365-day guarantee on workmanship.

Trusted Brands We Service in University

We install and service roof systems from seven leading manufacturers, including GAF, CertainTeed, Tamko, and Boral, so University homeowners get genuine material choice rather than a single house brand. That matters when you’re weighing a 30-year architectural shingle against a 50-year system, or a membrane roof for a flat commercial building. We stock local parts and materials for University customers, which means faster turnaround when your roof is open and the Florida afternoon thunderstorms are circling. Every brand we carry is backed by the manufacturer’s warranty plus our written workmanship guarantee.

Common Roof Replacement Problems We See in University Homes

• Multiple shingle layers hiding decking rot. Quick reroofs between tenants left many older University homes with two or three layers of asphalt shingles. The extra weight strains older trusses and the hidden decking underneath is often rotting from trapped moisture and poor ventilation.
• Missing flashing at roof-to-wall transitions. New construction near campus frequently skips proper flashing where roofs meet parapet walls or exterior walls. The leaks show up at move-in, after furniture is already in the room and the student is unpacked.
• Wind damage from open-lot exposure. Homes on open acreage around University catch every gust that rolls across the flat terrain. Shingles rated for lower wind speeds lose their seal and peel back, especially at eaves and rakes where drip edge was never installed correctly.
• Crushed septic drain field lines from material deliveries. Long hauls on rural access roads mean shingle bundles sometimes get dropped in muddy yards. When site plans don’t flag septic drain field locations, a delivery truck can crush the lines before we even start. We flag septic and well locations before any materials arrive.
