Frequently asked questions

How long does a typical Orlando commercial roof replacement take?

For a 50,000 sq ft single-story commercial building with no deck replacement and no major demo: about 3-4 weeks of production from tear-off through closeout, assuming normal weather. We build weather contingency into every schedule during the June-October rainy season. Larger buildings, deck replacement, or rooftop equipment relocation add time proportionally. We give a written production schedule before contract signing.

Will my building be exposed to rain during the replacement?

No. We tear off only what we can dry-in the same day. Each section gets a temporary dry-in at end of day. We monitor afternoon convective storm forecasts — Orlando's summer pattern produces afternoon storms with 2-4 hours of advance radar warning, and we coordinate production pace to the forecast. We do not leave the building's interior exposed overnight.

Does a commercial roof replacement require a building permit in Orlando?

Yes. All commercial re-roofing work in Florida requires a building permit, a licensed contractor, and inspection at each phase. We manage the permit process — application, scheduling inspections, and delivering the final inspection sign-off as part of the closeout package. Operating without a permit voids manufacturer warranties and creates problems at property sale or insurance renewal.

How do you handle hurricane season timing?

We schedule replacement projects outside the peak of hurricane season when possible, but most commercial building owners cannot wait 6 months for a dry-season window when their roof is failing. During active season, we build weather contingency into the schedule, use accelerated dry-in procedures, and do not start tear-off on days when named storm tracks show Central Florida within a 5-day cone.
