Orlando homes built in the 80s and 90s often have 3-tab shingles that crack along the seams after years of sun and sudden downpours. I check every ridge vent and pipe boot because those spots pull apart first when wind hits 40 mph during afternoon storms. Orange County requires a permit once you replace more than 25 percent of the roof, so I note any section that already needs that work.
A common mistake is skipping the attic walk. Water stains on rafters show up weeks before ceiling spots, especially in Baldwin Park and Ivanhoe Village where trees drop debris on older underlayment. I use a moisture meter on the decking and mark every soft spot so owners know exactly what needs fixing before the next rain.
Lake Eola Park and Dr. Phillips Center roofs see extra wear from salt air mixed with humidity. I always look at flashing around skylights and chimneys because cheap crews reuse old step flashing and it fails within two seasons. One thorough check now prevents a full replacement call later.
Same Day Storm Checks
After heavy rain I can be on site the same afternoon in Thornton Park or Winter Park. Bring photos of any new interior spots and I will confirm if it is a simple boot or a deck issue.
