Replacing a roof is one of the largest investments a homeowner makes, and in Central Florida the stakes are real. Orlando’s combination of intense UV exposure, high humidity, afternoon storms, and hurricane-season wind loads means a correctly installed roof — with the right materials, fastening patterns, and ventilation — will significantly outlast one that cuts corners. Bigfoot Roofing & Construction is a licensed and insured Florida roofing contractor (CCC1329769) and GAF Master Elite® certified — a designation held by only the top 2% of roofing contractors nationwide. We have completed residential roof replacements across Orange and Seminole County since 2011 and back every project with manufacturer and workmanship warranties in writing.

Residential Roof Replacement Services
Every residential replacement we complete follows a consistent scope designed for Florida’s specific building code requirements and climate conditions.
Full Tear-Off and Deck Inspection
We begin every replacement with a complete tear-off of existing roofing materials down to the deck. This step matters: layering new material over old is a shortcut that masks deck damage, adds weight, and voids manufacturer warranties. Once the deck is exposed, we inspect every board for soft spots, rot, and structural integrity. Any damaged decking is replaced before new material goes on — this work is documented and part of the permitted scope.
GAF System Installation
As a GAF Master Elite® contractor, we install complete GAF roofing systems — not a mix of manufacturer components. The system includes high-performance underlayment, ice and water shield at vulnerable areas, precision flashing at all penetrations, drip edge, and ridge cap. Field shingles are selected from the GAF Timberline series, including impact-rated HDZ® options suited to Central Florida’s hail and wind conditions. Standing seam metal is available for homeowners prioritizing longevity and heat reflectivity.
Ventilation and Flashing
Attic ventilation is one of the most overlooked factors in roof longevity in Central Florida. Heat buildup from inadequate intake/exhaust balance degrades shingles from the underside and stresses the decking — we correct it as part of every replacement. Flashing at chimneys, skylights, dormers, and plumbing penetrations is replaced with new material. Reusing old flashing on a new roof is a shortcut we do not take.
Warranty Registration and Documentation
At project completion we register your GAF warranty, conduct a final walkthrough, and provide the permit closeout, warranty certificates, and a full record of materials installed. Homeowners considering refinancing or selling — in neighborhoods like Winter Park, Lake Nona, or Alafaya — will have a complete paper trail that matters to appraisers and buyers.
Our Roof Replacement Process
- Free inspection — written findings report; honest recommendation on repair vs. replacement.

- Permit and scheduling — permits pulled with Orange or Seminole County before any work begins.
- Tear-off and deck work — full tear-off, deck inspection, damaged boards replaced and documented.
- System installation — underlayment, flashing, shingles or metal panels to manufacturer specs and Florida code.
- Cleanup — magnetic nail sweep, debris removal, final walkthrough.
- Warranty registration and closeout — GAF warranty registered, permit closed, all documentation provided.
How to Know When Replacement Is the Right Call
Roof repair handles isolated damage well. Replacement becomes the more practical answer when:
- The roof is 15 or more years old with widespread granule loss or shingle deterioration
- Multiple leaks have occurred in different areas over recent years
- Repair costs are approaching a significant fraction of full replacement value
- You are planning to sell or refinance and need a roof with remaining useful life
- Storm damage is widespread enough that partial repair would leave mismatched materials or compromised sections
A free inspection gives you the information to make that call. We provide honest written findings — not a push toward the most expensive option.

Frequently Asked Questions
What warranty options does Bigfoot offer on a residential roof replacement in Orlando?
As a GAF Master Elite® certified contractor, we can offer the full range of GAF warranty tiers. Qualifying systems are eligible for up to a 50-year manufacturer warranty. The GAF Golden Pledge® warranty adds 25-year workmanship coverage backed by GAF — not just the installing contractor — and is one of the strongest warranties available in residential roofing. We will walk through the options and what each tier requires during your estimate.
How long does a residential roof replacement take in Orlando?
Most single-family homes are completed in one to two days once materials are on site and weather permits. Larger homes, complex roof geometries, or projects requiring significant deck repair may take an additional day. We provide a clear timeline before work begins and communicate any changes as the project progresses.
How do you handle permitting for roof replacements in Orange and Seminole County?
We pull all required permits before work begins — every time. Unpermitted roofing work creates liability for homeowners at resale and can create problems with insurance claims. Our team is familiar with Orange and Seminole County permit requirements and handles the submission, scheduling inspections, and final closeout as part of the standard project scope.
Do you offer financing for residential roof replacement?
Yes. We offer financing on approved credit for qualifying homeowners. A new roof is a significant investment, and financing allows homeowners to address replacement on the right timeline rather than deferring necessary work. Ask about current financing options when you schedule your free inspection.
