3 Things to Know Before Replacing Your Roof in Central Florida

🏠 Thinking About a Roof Replacement? Start Here.

If your roof is over 15 years old or showing signs of wear, you’re not alone. In Florida’s heat and humidity, roofs take a beating — and replacing one is a big investment. Before you sign a contract, here are 3 things you should know:

1. Not All Roofers Follow the Same Standards

Florida has strict roofing codes — but not all contractors play by the rules. Some cut corners on underlayment, fasteners, or ventilation to save time and money. At Roofing Exterior Innovations, we install every roof to code or better, document each step with photos, and never rush jobs just to move to the next one.

✅ Tip: Ask your roofer if they’ll be on-site, how they handle inspections, and what kind of warranty they offer.

2. Permit Delays & Weather Can Affect Your Timeline

Permits in most Central Florida cities take 1–3 business days — but weather delays are always a factor. We avoid tight scheduling windows so your home stays protected, even if rain hits.

✅ Tip: Make sure your roofer has a plan in place for temporary protection and cleanup if the project gets delayed.

3. It’s Loud, Messy — and Worth It

Re-roofing is real construction. Expect some noise, foot traffic, and cleanup — especially during tear-off. Our team takes steps to protect your home and landscaping, including bush tarping, daily magnetic sweeps, and dump trailers (not dumpsters) for debris removal.

✅ Tip: Let your neighbors know ahead of time, and plan to be out of the house if you’re sensitive to noise.
