Roofing Contractor in Maitland, FL

Maitland is an older Orange County city built around a chain of lakes, with a mature canopy and a housing stock that runs from early-century through mid-century and into modern infill. Roofs here are rarely uniform, even within a single street.

Lakes, canopy and constant damp

Water nearby keeps humidity up, and canopy keeps sunlight off. The combination is exactly what algae and moss want. North-facing slopes near the lakes are usually the first to show dark streaking and green growth.

That growth is not only cosmetic. Moss lifts shingle edges as it establishes, and lifted edges are where wind gets underneath.

Older homes, complicated roofs

A lot of Maitland housing has been extended, altered or rebuilt over decades. Additions tied into original structure, porch roofs meeting main roofs at awkward angles, and multiple roof planes all mean more flashing.

Flashing is where old roofs leak. On this kind of house the detailing matters more than the product.

What we look for on an inspection

Valleys and flashing first, then penetrations, then the condition of the surface itself. Once the old covering is off we assess the deck, which on older Maitland homes has often carried several roofs already.

We tell you what we find before we commit you to a scope.
