Roofing contractors in Orlando, Florida.

Operating as a licensed roofing contractor in Orlando requires both state and local compliance. You must first obtain a Florida Certified Roofing Contractor license through the DBPR, which involves meeting experience requirements and passing examinations. This license must then be registered locally with Orange County. Most roofing work requires building permits from Orange County Building Services, with costs typically ranging $200-400 and review times of 10-15 business days. Insurance requirements include minimum $300,000 general liability coverage and workers' compensation if you have employees. The local market supports good pricing for quality work, with typical residential re-roofing projects ranging $8,000-25,000 depending on materials and complexity.
