Roof Leak Repair in Greater Orlando
A small roof leak can lead to damaged drywall, insulation and framing if it is left alone, and Florida's frequent rain gives leaks plenty of chances to grow. Describe what you are seeing and we will work to connect you with an independent roofing contractor who can find the source.

Roof Leak Repair across Greater Orlando
Frequent afternoon thunderstorms in the Orlando area mean small roof issues can turn into leaks quickly, and heavy oak canopy in Winter Park and Maitland adds debris that holds moisture.
Signs of a roof leak
- Stains or bubbling paint on ceilings or walls
- Damp or compressed attic insulation
- Missing, lifted or cracked shingles or tiles
- Damaged flashing around vents, chimneys or skylights
- Shingle granules collecting in gutters
What to do right away
- Move valuables and electronics away from the leak
- Catch dripping water and photograph the damage
- Stay off a wet or steep roof
- Note when the leak appears (during heavy rain, wind-driven rain, or always)
- Check your insurance policy for reporting requirements
Water can travel along rafters and decking before it shows up inside, so the visible stain is not always directly under the problem. A roofer may inspect the attic and the roof surface to trace the source, and may recommend a temporary tarp if a permanent repair has to wait.

Do your homework
How to Check Your Contractor
Orlando Home Pros connects homeowners with independent providers. We do not perform the work or screen providers for you, so a few minutes of research before hiring is worth it.
Look up the state license
Search the business or license number on the Florida DBPR site at myfloridalicense.com and make sure the status is current. Your city or county may have its own requirements too.
Request proof of insurance
Ask for a certificate of insurance showing general liability coverage and workers' compensation (or a valid exemption), and check the dates.
Research reputation
Review the company's Better Business Bureau profile and read reviews across more than one independent website. Ask for a few recent local references.
Put it in writing
Collect written estimates and sign a written contract that spells out the scope, materials, total price, schedule and any warranty.
Keep deposits reasonable
Be cautious about paying a large amount before work begins. Link payments to finished milestones and keep receipts.
Confirm permits
Check with Orange, Seminole or Osceola County, or your city's building department, whether a permit is required, and make sure inspections are passed.
