Roofing Contractor in DeLand, FL

DeLand has one of the best-preserved historic downtowns in Central Florida and a housing stock to match. A lot of what surrounds the center is genuinely old, with the roof shapes that go with it: steep pitches, dormers, gables and porches tied into main roofs.

Orlando Roof Co. covers DeLand and Volusia County. Licensed CCC1336601, fully insured, open seven days from 7am to 7pm. Call 407-600-4137.

Old roofs are detail work, not volume work

A steep, multi-plane roof with dormers has far more linear feet of flashing than a simple subdivision hip. Flashing is where old roofs fail, so the time goes into the transitions rather than the open field.

Underneath matters as much as the covering. Board decking and decades of accumulated fastener holes are common on housing of this age, and none of it is visible until the old material comes off.

Appearance requirements near the center

Properties in or near a historic area can carry appearance expectations on top of the building code, and those can cover material and color.

It is worth establishing what applies to your address before you settle on a product, rather than after.

Volusia storm exposure

DeLand sits further east than most of our service area, so Atlantic systems reach it having crossed less land. Wind at the roof tends to be stronger than it is inland, which puts the emphasis on edges, ridge and fastening.

After a storm, file the claim before authorizing permanent repairs and get the damage documented and dated. Florida’s reporting deadline is shorter than it used to be.
