Read the guideHow these roofing guides are written
Every guide here is written for the roofs around Winter Park: mid-century shingle roofs under the oaks, clay and concrete tile, and the flat sections over Florida rooms. Florida rules, such as the 15-year roof-age rule and the 25% repair rule, are explained in plain terms with the Orange and Seminole County details that apply here. Insurance topics stay informational, because coverage is between you and your insurer. When a rule or code detail changes, the guide is updated and its date changes with it. None of it replaces a roofer looking at your roof, so each guide ends with what to check and when to call.
