Free Roof Inspection · Greater Orlando
Free roof inspections in Greater Orlando
A roof report is the document that decides things: whether your insurer renews you, whether a repair is worth doing, whether a storm actually did damage.
Step 1 of 2
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.
Free Roof Inspection in Greater Orlando
Inland inspections are mostly about proving remaining life at renewal on a roof that is fifteen to twenty-five years old and has never been claimed on. The other common question here is whether limb or hail damage crosses the 25 percent threshold, which is a measurement rather than an opinion -- and we put the measurement in writing.
The housing stock here
Central Florida built later. Median build years across the towns we cover cluster between 1992 and 2006, so a large share of these roofs are reaching the end of a first covering at roughly the same time -- which is why whole subdivisions come up together.
What the code asks for
Almost none of metro Orlando is in the wind-borne debris region. Only the easternmost strip of Orange County and the rural eastern third of Osceola reach it, and several municipalities set their own design wind speed by ordinance -- Winter Park's is 139.9 mph, a tenth under the 140 threshold. Where an HOA has architectural review, colour and profile approval is a real step in the schedule.
The storms this market is working through
Ian in 2022 is the event that still defines this market, and it was a freshwater flood rather than a wind storm: 7.72 inches on 28 September was Orlando's wettest calendar day on a record going back to 1890. Inland damage here is water intrusion and tree strike far more often than uplift.
Typical Florida range: Free — inspection, photographs and written roof report, no obligation. A market range for comparison, not a quote — the free inspection produces your number.

Free Roof Inspection questions, answered
What's included in the free roof report?
Photographs of every slope, the ridge, valleys, flashings and penetrations; the material and approximate age; a condition assessment with an estimate of remaining useful life; any storm damage found and where; and a recommendation — repair, replace, or monitor. If replacement is the answer you also get an itemised estimate.
Is the inspection really free?
Yes, including the written report and the photographs, and you keep it whether you hire us or not.
Is this the same as a 4-point or wind mitigation inspection?
No. Those are insurance inspections performed by licensed inspectors and submitted on standard forms. Ours is a contractor's roof condition report. They complement each other — ours tells you what the roof needs, theirs is what the carrier files.
Do you go on the roof, or just look from the ground?
On the roof, plus aerial photography where it helps. Tile roofs get walked carefully and only where they'll take the weight.
How often should a Florida roof be inspected?
Once a year, and again after any named storm or significant hail event. Florida roofs age faster than the manufacturer's rating because of UV, heat cycling and driven rain.
Will you try to sell me a roof?
We'll tell you what we found. Plenty of these inspections end with 'it's fine, see you next year' — that's the point of doing them free.
Questions people ask before they call
- Can an insurer drop me because of my roof's age in Florida?Under Florida law passed in 2022 (SB 2-D), an insurer cannot refuse to write or renew a policy solely because a roof is less than 15 years old.
- How does a roof insurance claim work in Florida?A Florida homeowner's policy covers sudden, accidental damage — a named storm, wind, hail, a tree — and does not cover age, wear or a roof that.
- What is a wind mitigation inspection, and what does a roof earn on it?Florida's Uniform Mitigation Verification Inspection Form, OIR-B1-1802, was revised effective 1 April 2026 under Rule 69O-170.0155.
- How long does a roof last in Florida?In Florida, architectural asphalt shingle realistically lasts about 15–20 years despite a 25–30 year rating, and 3-tab about 10–15.
- How do I know if my roof needs replacing?A Florida roof generally needs replacing rather than repairing when it shows several of these at once: heavy granule loss, leaks in more than one.

“We had a great experience with JAC Builders in replacing our roof. Anthony Vargas, their roofing consultant, worked with us every step of the way and made us feel very comfortable throughout the whole process of dealing with the insurance company , HOA approval and recommending a company JAC Builders use to take down and reinstall our solar panels. JAC Builders did a wonderful job in replacing our roof at a very reasonable price. We are extremely happy with the results and highly recommend this company.”
“Right from the start JAC took charge of the whole process, roof inspection, tarping the roof and handling the complicated insurance process. The roofers who installed the roof did a terrific job in 1 day. Thank you Jac .”
“I’m glad you sent this link to me. You did an outstanding job on the roof. You did it in a timely manner. Had a good price and your workers were very good. The quality of workmanship that was done. I have got a lot of compliments from it. And I think this is a great honest company to do business with Thanks again for the good quality of work”
“We were not sure how to deal with the insurance’s paper work but Tony Vargas not only guide us but took time to explain all the process. Once the work started the team did a good job and Tony was always calling and making sure that the work was done quickly and that we were satisfied. I will recommend to friends and family to use JAC Builders and to call Tony for his good service.”
