Roof & leak repair in Greater Orlando
Not every roof needs replacing. A leak around a pipe boot, a lifted ridge cap, failed valley flashing or a handful of cracked tiles are repairs — and we'd rather tell you that than sell you a roof you don't need yet.
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.
Roof Repair in Greater Orlando
Two things cause most Central Florida repairs: limb strike and foot traffic. The oak canopy puts constant debris and the occasional branch on the roof, and the flat concrete tile used across the resort-style subdivisions cracks underfoot, which is why a solar install or a satellite dish is so often the start of a leak nobody connected to it.
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: $350–$1,500 for most leak repairs, with the majority landing $450–$900; small shingle or tile patches from around $300. A market range for comparison, not a quote — the free inspection produces your number.

Roof Repair questions, answered
How much does a roof repair cost in Florida?
Most single-point leak repairs run about $400–$1,500. Small shingle or tile patches start around $350; valley flashing, larger sections of decking, or work that needs staging on a two-storey or steep roof costs more. You get the number in writing after the inspection, before anything starts.
Is it worth repairing, or should I just replace?
If the roof is under roughly 12 years old, the underlayment is sound, and the problem is localised, repair is the right call. If you're on your third leak in two years, or the underlayment has gone brittle, repairs become a way of spending replacement money slowly.
What is the 25% rule and does it affect my repair?
The Florida Building Code limits how much of a roof section can be repaired, replaced or recovered in any twelve-month period to 25% before the whole system has to come up to current code. Since SB 4-D in 2022, roofs permitted under the 2007 Florida Building Code or later — in force from 1 March 2009 — only need the repaired portion to comply. Roofs older than that can still trigger a full replacement. We check the permit record first.
Can you tarp my roof today?
If water is actively coming in, emergency tarping or shrink-wrap is the first thing we do — it stops the interior damage while the real repair gets scheduled, and most carriers expect you to take reasonable steps to prevent further damage.
Will a repair void my roof warranty?
A repair done by a licensed roofing contractor using compatible materials does not. A repair done badly by an unlicensed one can, and will also show up on your next 4-point inspection.
Do you charge for the inspection?
No. The inspection and the written roof report are free, whether or not you hire us.

- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

“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.”
