Orlando roofs take a beating from the humid subtropical climate with frequent afternoon thunderstorms. Water finds its way under lifted shingles or around bad flashing at vents and chimneys. We carry GAF leak barriers and step flashing on the truck so we can seal those spots the same visit instead of letting rain keep soaking the deck.
A common failure point in Orange County houses is the valley where two roof planes meet. Cheap crews often skip the extra layer of ice-and-water shield there. When a hard storm dumps three inches in an hour the water backs up under the shingles and runs into the attic. We cut out the wet wood, sister new rafters if needed, and lay 36-inch-wide peel-and-stick before the new shingles go down.
Permits kick in for any roof work over 100 square feet in Orange County. We pull them same morning so the job does not get stopped by an inspector. Homeowners on Mills 50 or College Park call us because the last outfit left tarps that blew off after two days of wind.
We start every emergency call by walking the attic with a moisture meter. That tells us if the leak has already reached the insulation or ceiling joists. Then we tarp the hole, pull the damaged material, and install matching shingles so the patch does not stand out from the street.
