AfterFull Roof Replacement in Orlando, FL
A full roof replacement in Orlando typically costs between $8,500 and $22,000 for a 1,500 to 2,500 square foot home, depending on the shingle you choose, the condition of the decking underneath, and how complex your roofline is. Most Orlando replacements take two to five days once materials arrive, and the majority of homeowners replace their roof because of age, recurring leaks, or storm damage they’re tired of patching. At Tilehurst Roofing Orlando, we walk you through the entire process with a written price in your hands before any work starts, so you know exactly what the job costs before a single shingle comes off.
If you’re weighing a full replacement against another repair, read our Roof Replacement & Installation in Orlando page first. It covers the broader decision. This page is about the complete replacement itself: when it’s time, what it involves, what it costs, and how we do it.

When You Need Full Roof Replacement
Some roofs in Orlando can be nursed along with repairs for years. Others have crossed the point where a patch makes sense. Here’s what pushes a roof into replacement territory:
- Your asphalt shingle roof is past the 18- to 22-year mark. Orlando’s heat and afternoon thunderstorms age shingles faster than northern climates. If your roof is in its late teens or beyond and you’re seeing granule loss, curling edges, or bare spots, replacement is usually cheaper over the next five years than repeated repairs.
- You have recurring leaks in multiple areas. One isolated leak around a pipe boot or valley is repairable. When water is showing up in three or four different rooms, or the same area keeps getting patched, the underlayment and decking have likely reached the end of their service life.
- Storm damage is extensive. Central Florida sees hail and high wind events that strip granules, tear shingles, and break seals across large sections of the roof. If more than 30% of the roof face is damaged, insurance often covers replacement, and patching loses its value.
- Your decking is soft or spongy. That’s rot, and it doesn’t stay contained. Once decking starts to fail, moisture is already inside the roof system. Replacement lets us cut out the damaged wood and start fresh instead of nailing new shingles to a failing foundation.
- Energy costs keep climbing. An old roof with failing ventilation and degraded underlayment lets heat pour into the attic, which forces your AC to run longer. New underlayment, proper intake and exhaust ventilation, and modern shingles change the thermal equation of the whole house.
- You don’t want another repair invoice. If you’ve already spent $1,000 or $2,000 patching the roof in the last couple of years and you know more issues are coming, a replacement is often the honest recommendation over yet another temporary fix.
In neighborhoods like College Park, Conway, and Audubon Park, we regularly see roofs from the early 2000s hitting the end of their useful life all at once. If you’re not sure which camp you’re in, we’ll tell you honestly. Sometimes a repair genuinely makes more sense, and we’ll say so.
Our Full Roof Replacement Process
Every Tilehurst Roofing Orlando replacement follows the same documented sequence. You’ll know what’s happening before it happens, and there are no surprises at the end.
- Free on-site inspection and written price. We walk the roof, check the decking from inside the attic, measure the roof accurately, and document what we find. Then we hand you a written price that includes materials, labor, tear-off, disposal, and any permits. That’s The Kingswell Way: say the price before the work. It’s the first step, and it never changes.
- Material selection from seven manufacturers. You choose from GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, Tamko, and Boral. We walk through the differences in wind rating, impact rating, color options, and cost so you pick the shingle that fits your home and your budget, not just whatever happens to be in stock.
- Scheduled tear-off and decking inspection. We set a window, show up in it, and get to work. The old shingles and underlayment come off down to the decking, and every sheet of plywood gets checked. Rotted or soft decking gets replaced before the new roof goes on, and we show you what we found before covering it up.
- Installation of underlayment, drip edge, and flashing. A high-quality synthetic underlayment goes down first as the waterproof barrier, then drip edge along the eaves and rakes to direct water into the gutters. We replace flashing at every penetration: pipe boots, valleys, chimneys, skylights, and walls. These are the parts that leak, and they’re the parts many crews rush.
- Shingle installation with proper nailing and ventilation. Shingles go on with the right nail pattern for the wind zone, the ridge cap gets installed along the peaks, and we verify attic intake and exhaust ventilation is balanced for Orlando’s climate. A properly ventilated attic keeps shingles cooler and extends their life.
- Cleanup, walkthrough, and written guarantee. We leave the place cleaner than we found it, with magnetic sweepers running the yard for stray nails. Then we walk the roof with you, show you the finished job, and hand you the written guarantee before the crew leaves. Not mailed later. In your hand.
Full Roof Replacement Pricing in Orlando
We publish real price ranges because you should know what to expect before you pick up the phone. Here’s what a full replacement costs in the Orlando market, based on the work we do every week:
- Architectural asphalt shingles (30-year): $8,500 to $14,000 for a typical 1,500 to 2,000 square foot single-story home
- Architectural asphalt shingles on a two-story home: $12,000 to $18,000 due to additional staging, safety equipment, and labor
- Larger homes (2,500 to 4,000 square feet): $15,000 to $22,000+ depending on roof complexity, pitch, and number of penetrations
- Decking replacement (when rot is found): $65 to $100 per 4×8 sheet replaced, typically 2 to 15 sheets on an average Orlando roof
- Permits and inspections: $150 to $400 depending on city or county requirements
What drives the price up or down in Orlando specifically? Roof complexity is the biggest factor: hips, valleys, dormers, and multiple levels all add labor. Material choice is second: a premium Owens Corning or CertainTeed shingle with a high wind rating costs more than a base architectural shingle, but in a hurricane zone that rating matters. A steep-pitch roof, like the older homes in Thornton Park or Delaney Park, costs more per square because the work is slower and safety requirements are higher. Decking condition is the wild card: we can’t see the full story until the old roof comes off, but when we find rot, we show you the board, explain what replacement costs, and get your approval before proceeding.
Every estimate at Tilehurst Roofing Orlando includes a written, line-item price before any work begins. No door-knock price changes. No “discovered” fees at the end. Call (850) 303-7235 for your free estimate and we’ll measure your roof and give you an exact number.
Materials: What We Put On Your Roof
We install products from seven leading manufacturers, and that’s worth a conversation. Many Orlando roofing companies stock one brand and sell you that brand. We stock and order from seven: GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, Tamko, and Boral. Each has strengths in different areas:
- GAF Timberline architectural shingles are among the most popular in Orlando for their balance of price, durability, and wind rating. The Timberline HDZ line carries a wind warranty up to 130 mph depending on installation.
- CertainTeed Landmark shingles are known for consistent color blending and a heavy, premium feel. They’re a strong choice if you want a specific curb-appeal look matched to your Orlando neighborhood’s aesthetic.
- Owens Corning Duration shingles use a patented SureNail strip that’s popular with homeowners who want proven wind performance from a brand they recognize immediately. Their TruDefinition color platform is excellent for Central Florida’s bright sunlight.
- Boral products can include tile and stone-coated steel, which matter if you live in a community with HOA tile requirements or if you’re replacing a tile roof and want something lighter while keeping the look.
We’ll never pressure you into one brand. We’ll show you samples, explain the price difference, and match the product to your budget and your home’s exposure. An east-west facing roof in Orlando takes a beating from afternoon sun, and the right shingle choice accounts for that.

FAQs – Full Roof Replacement
How much does a full roof replacement cost in Orlando?
A full roof replacement in Orlando typically costs between $8,500 and $22,000 for a standard home, with architectural asphalt shingles on a 1,500 to 2,000 square foot single-story house running $8,500 to $14,000. Material choice, roof complexity, decking condition, and whether your home is one or two stories all affect the final price. Call (850) 303-7235 for a free written estimate with an exact number for your roof.
Is it cheaper to repair or replace my roof?
It’s cheaper to repair when the damage is isolated to one area, such as a single leak at a pipe boot or a few blown shingles, and the rest of the roof is still sound. Replacement becomes the better financial choice when your roof is past 18 years old, you’ve had multiple leaks, or repair costs over the next few years will exceed the cost of a new roof. We’ll give you an honest recommendation either way, and if a repair is the smarter move in Orlando’s market, we’ll tell you that.
How long does a full roof replacement take in Orlando?
Most Orlando full roof replacements take two to five days to complete once materials are on-site, depending on roof size, pitch, and how much decking replacement is needed. We schedule a specific window, show up in it, and keep you informed of progress throughout. Weather in Central Florida can shift schedules, especially during afternoon thunderstorm season, and we’ll communicate any changes the moment we know about them.
