Airport terminal and aviation facility roofing in Orlando, FL — Orlando International Airport and surrounding general aviation and cargo facilities.
Property Type
We work with the airport facilities department and FAA Part 139 coordinator to develop a phased work plan approved by airport operations. Material deliveries, crane lifts, and any work near airside areas are scheduled during approved windows and coordinated with the FAA NOTAM process if required. We've done this at multiple airports and it's a standard part of our project setup — not an exception.
Most terminal re-roofing in Orlando uses a TPO or PVC single-ply membrane on a tapered insulation system designed to improve drainage and address ponding. For new high-bay aviation structures and hangars, standing seam metal is often specified. The selection depends on the existing deck, load capacity, and operational constraints — we develop a spec after walking the roof with your facilities engineer.
Terminal HVAC density is significantly higher than standard commercial. Our pre-project survey documents every penetration, curb height, and mechanical clearance before we develop the work plan. Flashing details for oversized equipment curbs and complex through-penetrations are engineered individually — we don't use standard small-building flashing details on aviation structures.
Yes, with appropriate badging and in full coordination with airfield operations. Airside work requires a higher level of pre-planning and crew credentialing, which we factor into the bid timeline. We do not mobilize crew members without confirmed airside authorization — that's a baseline requirement we enforce, not a favor we ask.
Yes. General aviation hangar roofing — whether for a single-bay private hangar or a multi-unit FBO complex — is a regular part of our commercial project mix in Orlando. High-bay hangars with wide-flange steel or pre-engineered building systems require roofing contractors who understand those structures' specific uplift and thermal movement characteristics. We do.
The distribution and logistics belt that runs along I-4 and the Florida Turnpike from the OIA airport north through Orange County and east into Osceola represents one of the densest concentrations of large-footprint commercial roofing in the Southeast. Orlando Central Park — the industrial campus straddling South Orange Avenue and the Beachline Expressway — holds millions of square feet of warehouse and light manufacturing space, most of it built in waves through the 1980s, 1990s, and early 2000s. Much of that inventory is now in active reroof or major repair cycles.
Warehouse roofing has a simple priority: keep water out of inventory, keep the dock doors and floor plan operational, and do it without a production stoppage. That changes how we scope and sequence every project. A 300,000-square-foot distribution building cannot go under a tarp for two weeks. The replacement scope has to be sequenced in working sections, each dried in the same day, so loading and unloading never stops. I build schedules around dock hours and shift patterns — not around what is easiest for the roofing crew.
Large-footprint warehouse roofs also concentrate drainage problems. A 400,000-square-foot building with a 1% slope and four drains is an enormous amount of water running through a very small number of exits. When any one drain fails or backs up in Orlando's afternoon convective storms — which can deliver two to three inches of rain in under an hour — the roof turns into a retention pond. We document drain count, condition, and capacity against the roof area on every inspection and redesign the drainage configuration when the math does not work.
Florida Building Code wind-uplift requirements apply to warehouse buildings the same as to any other commercial structure. The large-footprint buildings in the Turnpike and I-4 corridor often sit in Exposure Category C terrain — open, flat land near major interchanges — which means the design pressures in the perimeter and corner zones of the building are significant. We pull the FBC exposure category and design pressure before specifying any fastener pattern.
Orlando Central Park is a 3,200-acre industrial campus developed through the 1980s and 1990s as one of the first large-scale planned industrial parks in Central Florida. Buildings here range from 50,000-square-foot flex industrial to 500,000-square-foot bulk distribution. The original roofing systems on much of this inventory — modified bitumen, EPDM, and first-generation TPO — are at or past end-of-life. We run active maintenance routes through Orlando Central Park and have replaced roofs on multiple buildings in the campus.
The Florida Turnpike and I-4 interchange zone south and west of the airport — the Kissimmee industrial corridor, the Osceola County interchange parks — has seen significant new construction in the 2010s and 2020s as e-commerce fulfillment demand drove speculative industrial development. These newer buildings are entering their first major maintenance windows. TPO 60-mil systems installed in 2008-2015 are reaching the point where manufacturer warranty-compliance maintenance, seam inspection, and drain redesign are the right scope rather than replacement.
The active logistics corridor means scheduling around truck traffic. Loading dock areas on buildings that run 20-hour operations require coordination on access, material staging, and noise. We are used to scheduling tear-off away from active dock hours, staging materials in the zones the facility manager clears, and confirming the schedule with operations leadership — not just the property manager — before the project starts.
TPO is the dominant specification for new warehouse roofing in the Orlando market. It reflects UV, handles mechanically attached installation well on large decks, and carries 20-year NDL warranty paths. For buildings with high interior process heat — manufacturing or food processing — we evaluate EPDM as an alternative because its seam system handles thermal expansion differently than TPO heat-welded seams in high-differential-temperature environments.
Insulation on large warehouse roofs requires attention to tapered drainage design. The sheer scale of the roof area means that even a half-inch slope differential between drain points is a meaningful difference in how water flows. We design tapered insulation packages against the documented drain layout and the ponding patterns we observe during the inspection walk — not against a generic slope table.
Modified bitumen is still the right specification on some warehouse buildings — particularly older buildings with existing BUR systems where the deck and insulation are sound and a torch-applied cap sheet recover is the most defensible capital decision. We are not attached to any single system. The recommendation follows what the building and its capital horizon support.
Hurricane Ian (2022) pushed 60-70 mph gusts through Orange and Osceola counties and produced significant rainfall across the Kissimmee Valley. Several warehouse buildings in the Turnpike corridor reported perimeter membrane separation and drain overflow events following Ian. In most cases the damage was not catastrophic — it was progressive: seams that had been marginal since installation finally separated under a sustained wind load, and drains that were already partially blocked backed up under the rainfall volume.
After any significant wind event, I recommend an inspection on every warehouse roof in the affected area — not because I expect dramatic failures, but because the progressive failures that do occur will not announce themselves until they become interior leaks. The inspection is cheap; the interior damage is not.
FBC wind documentation for warehouse buildings requires the fastener pattern design for the specific building height, exposure category, and roof zone. Many warehouse replacements done in the 2000s and early 2010s were installed to national-standard fastener patterns that fell short of FBC requirements. A replacement done today is an opportunity to bring the fastener documentation into compliance — the marginal cost of the correct pattern is minimal, and the documentation supports wind mitigation credit and insurance renewal.
Yes. We sequence every large warehouse replacement in working sections — typically 5,000 to 20,000 sq ft — that can be torn off and dried in the same day. The building never has an open section overnight. We coordinate with facility operations leadership on staging zones, dock access, and noise windows before the project starts.
Age and moisture-core results are the two primary inputs. We pull moisture cores in representative locations across the roof — typically five to ten on a large building — to determine insulation saturation. If more than 25% of cores read wet, replacement is the honest recommendation. If the insulation is dry and the deck is sound, a targeted repair or recover may be defensible. We document the recommendation in writing with the core data.
Approximately 6 to 10 weeks of production for a building that size, assuming no deck replacement and no major drain relocation. We build weather contingency into every warehouse schedule during the June-October rainy season. We give a written production schedule, section by section, before contract signing.
Yes. All commercial re-roofing in Florida requires a building permit, a licensed contractor, and phase inspections. We file the permit with the applicable jurisdiction — Orange County, City of Orlando, Osceola County — manage inspection scheduling, and deliver the permit final sign-off as part of the closeout package.
Our project managers will walk the building, pull moisture cores, document drain conditions, and produce a written scope with FBC wind-uplift documentation — detailed enough to bid or use for capital planning.
