Pricing your roof…
One momentGot it — an estimator will call.
They will want to walk the roof: the drainage, the access and the deck are what price a flat system, and none of it shows up from the air.
One contract, one company responsible — JAC is a licensed general contractor as well as a roofer.
Got it — we have your details.
You are outside Tampa Bay and Central Florida, so this is a call rather than a price. Someone will tell you straight whether we can get to you.
If we cannot, we will say so and point you at someone who can. A roofer who drives two hours to a job is a roofer who is not there when it leaks.
Got it — we have your details.
A roofer from the Tampa Bay office will call you to book your free inspection. You get the same written roof report, photographed slope by slope, and a fixed price once someone has actually been on the roof.
We do not show an instant price on the Gulf Coast. The aerial pricing tool only covers Central Florida, and a number we cannot stand behind is worse than no number at all.
- 1Drop in your address. Street and number is plenty.
- 2We call down the satellite. It photographs your roof from orbit while you wait.
- 3Your price comes back ready. Shingle, metal and flat, on screen.
Nobody turns up unannounced. You get the price on screen; what happens after that is a call at a time you agree to.
Roofing in Longwood
Longwood has the oldest housing stock in Seminole County at a 1979 median, and it sits under the heaviest tree canopy of anywhere we work. That canopy is the local roofing problem: constant leaf and limb load in the valleys, shade that keeps a north slope damp enough to grow algae, and a limb strike risk that has nothing to do with wind speed. Several of the Wekiva-area neighbourhoods also carry architectural review on shingle colour.
What's on the roofs here. Shingle across nearly all of it. The heavy canopy means more valley work, more algae-resistant shingle specification, and more frequent limb-strike repair than open subdivisions see.
Recent storms. The Little Wekiva gauge at Altamonte Springs, three miles from Longwood, crested at 31.09 ft during Ian on 29 September 2022 and 30.08 ft during Milton in 2024. But the roofing damage here rarely follows the river. Longwood's canopy is the hazard: Irma in 2017 brought down mature oak across Seminole and most of the work that followed was limb penetration, not uplift.
Neighbourhoods we work in: Sweetwater Oaks, The Springs, Wekiva, Historic Longwood, Alaqua.

Longwood — the local questions
Who issues the roof permit in Longwood?
City of Longwood Building Division inside the city; Seminole County Building Division outside it. We pull the permit in our own licence number — CCC1334352 — and we are there for the final inspection.
What does the building code require on a Longwood reroof?
Seminole County has no wind-borne debris region — landlocked, and nothing reaches the 140 mph threshold. Design wind speeds run about 120–130 mph. Separately, and statewide, Florida requires sealed-roof-deck underlayment on every roof replacement, and homes permitted before the Florida Building Code took effect also need the deck re-nailed with ring-shank nails at six inches on centre once the covering comes off — 'before the code' meaning permitted before 1 March 2002.
How old are roofs in Longwood?
Median build year 1979 — the typical Longwood home is about 47 years old, so a large share of this stock is already on its second or third roof and the underlayment question is a live one.
How fast can you get to Longwood?
Longwood is about 14 miles from our Orlando office, so it's a routine run for the Greater Orlando crews rather than a special trip. Call (321) 468-7062 and you'll get a real date.
What does a roof replacement cost in Longwood?
Roofing is priced per square — 100 sq ft of roof. On a 22–26 square roof, architectural shingle generally runs $11,000–$20,000 and concrete tile $25,000–$55,000 across both our metros. Pitch, storeys, layer count and decking condition move it. Market ranges, not a quote — the free inspection produces your number.
