New Construction in Orlando, FL

New Construction in Orlando, FL

New construction roofing in Orlando means installing a roof on a newly built home, addition, or commercial structure from the first deck screw to the final cap shingle. It’s different from a replacement because there’s no old roof to tear off, no rot to chase, and no surprises hiding under the existing layers. At Crestview Roofing Co Orlando, we’ve been handling new-construction roof installations since 2000, and the process is built around one thing: you know exactly what you’re paying, who’s showing up, and what the roof will look like before and after the last nail goes in. If you’re building in Orlando, call (448) 218-0800 and we’ll give you a written price before any work starts.

New construction is a distinct discipline within our broader Roof Replacement & Installation in Orlando work. A replacement deals with the condition of what’s already there. New construction deals with getting it right the first time on a fresh deck, which requires different scheduling, different code checkpoints, and a different kind of coordination with your general contractor or builder. We’re comfortable working alongside GCs, framers, and inspectors, and our crews know how to sequence the roof so it doesn’t hold up the rest of the build.

Key Takeaways:

• New construction roofing typically runs $9,000 to $22,500+ in Orlando, depending on square footage, pitch, and material.
• Every new-construction roof from Crestview Roofing Co Orlando comes with a written price before we start and a 365-Day Done Right Promise.
• We install manufacturer-backed systems from GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, and Boral.
• A live person answers our calls 24/7. You won’t leave a voicemail and wait until Monday.

When You Need New Construction

New construction roofing isn’t something you guess at. If any of these describe your situation, you’re in the right place.

• You’re building a new home in Orlando. Whether you’re the homeowner acting as your own GC or you’re working with a builder, the roof needs to be installed correctly the first time. In neighborhoods like Lake Nona, Baldwin Park, and Winter Park’s new subdivisions, we regularly install roofs on homes that haven’t gotten their first paint coat yet.
• You’re adding an addition. A second story, a garage conversion, a mother-in-law suite. The new roof ties into the existing roof, and that tie-in point is where leaks start if it’s flashed wrong.
• You’re building a detached structure. A workshop, a pool house, a covered outdoor kitchen. These structures need the same wind uplift ratings and proper underlayment as a main house, especially in Orlando’s hurricane season.
• You’re a contractor or custom builder. You need a roofing partner who hits the schedule, passes inspection the first time, and documents everything so your client can see exactly what was installed.
• Your builder gave you a roofing allowance and you don’t want to be surprised later. Allowances often understate actual roofing costs. We’ll give you a real number before you commit, so you’re not writing a check for the difference at close.
• You’re at the “dried-in” stage and the next trade can’t start until the roof is on. Framers are waiting, the electrician is behind your roofer, and if the roof slips a week, everyone slips a week. We show up when we say we will and we finish when we say we will.

Our New Construction Process

Here’s exactly how a new-construction roof goes with Crestview Roofing Co Orlando, step by step.

1. Site visit and deck inspection. Before we quote anything, we look at the deck, the truss spacing, the roof pitch, and the access. If the deck has issues, we flag them now, not after the underlayment is down. A roof installed over a bad deck fails early, and we won’t tell you otherwise to make a sale.
2. Written quote with a fixed price. You get a written price before any work starts. The number on the page is the number on the invoice. No allowances, no “material surcharge,” no conversation at the end where the price went up by 20%.
3. Material selection and ordering. We work with GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, and Boral. You choose the profile and color that fits your build, and we order exactly what’s needed. No swapped brands, no “we ran out and grabbed whatever was at the supply house.”
4. Installation with manufacturer specs. We install to the manufacturer’s published specifications for wind uplift and fastener pattern. In Orlando, that means nails in the right pattern, the right number per shingle, and the right starter course along every eave. It also means proper underlayment, proper valley treatment, and proper flashing at every penetration.
5. Photo documentation before and after. You get before and after photos of the roof. Not a verbal summary. Not a vague “looks good.” Actual documentation of what went down, how many layers, what the penetrations look like. This is part of The Relay Standard we hold to on every job.
6. Final walkthrough, digital invoice, and your 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. We walk the roof with you or your GC, answer every question, and send your invoice by text. If anything on that roof fails within 365 days, we fix it at no charge. That’s not a sales pitch. It’s in writing, included with every job.

Who We Are and How We Operate

Crestview Roofing Co Orlando was founded in 2000 and is part of the Relay Home Co. family. That matters because of The Relay Visibility Guarantee, which is the standard we hold every job to. The way Dylan Pace puts it: you should never wonder what a roofer did or what it cost. You should know.

Here’s what that looks like in practice:

• A written price before any work starts. Always. On every job. No exceptions.
• A live trackable arrival time. You’ll know when your crew is coming, and you can see it the same way you’d track a rideshare.
• Before-and-after photo documentation. You see what we see. The deck, the underlayment, the final shingle course. All documented.
• A digital invoice sent by text. No paper copies that get lost in a kitchen drawer. No “we’ll mail it.” You get the invoice the same way you get everything else: on your phone.
• The 365-Day Done Right Promise. Every repair and installation is covered for a full year. If the same issue comes back, we come back. Free second visit. No negotiation.

Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed. Before they pull into your driveway, you’ll know exactly who is arriving. And if you call us at (448) 218-0800, a live person answers. Not a phone tree. Not a voicemail. A person.

New Construction Pricing in Orlando

What does new construction roofing cost in Orlando? Here’s the honest answer.

Most new construction roofs on a standard 2,000 to 2,500 square foot single-story home in the Orlando area run between $9,000 and $15,000 for architectural shingles from GAF, CertainTeed, or Owens Corning. If you’re looking at a two-story home or a roof with a steep pitch, count on $14,000 to $22,500+. A tile roof from Boral is a different animal entirely, typically starting around $22,000 and running upward from there depending on the profile you choose.

What drives the number:

• Roof size and pitch. A 2,200 sf colonial in College Park with a 7/12 pitch costs more than a 2,200 sf ranch in Conway with a 5/12 pitch. Steeper roofs are slower and carry more labor risk.
• Material class. 3-tab is the base. Architectural shingles are the standard we recommend. Tile and metal are premium tiers with premium costs and premium lifespans.
• Decking condition and thickness. New construction means new decking or not-yet-installed decking, but the deck still has to meet code for thickness and fastener pattern. If you’re at the framing stage, we’ll tell you exactly what the framer needs to do before we get there.
• Flashing and penetration count. More plumbing vents, more pipe boots, more flashing work. A simple roof with two vents is cheaper than a roof with six vents, two skylights, and a chimney.
• Underlayment spec. We recommend a high-quality synthetic underlayment on every Orlando new construction job. It costs more than felt but it handles the humidity and the hurricane-season rain we get from June to November.

Scope	Typical Orlando Price Range
New construction, 1,800-2,200 sf, architectural shingle	$8,500 – $12,500
New construction, 2,500-3,200 sf, architectural shingle	$12,000 – $18,000
New construction, two-story or steep pitch, architectural shingle	$15,000 – $24,000
New construction with Boral tile roof	$22,000 – $40,000+
Detached structure (garage, pool house, workshop)	$4,500 – $9,000

The best way to know what your build will cost is to call us. Estimates are free. We’ll come out, look at the deck and the plans, and give you a written number. No pressure. No disappearing after the quote. Call (448) 218-0800 and we’ll get you an exact figure.

Why New Construction is Different in Orlando

Orlando has two factors that make new-construction roofing different from anywhere else. First is the humidity, which never turns off. Second is the wind, which shows up as sustained tropical-storm force every few years and occasionally as a full hurricane. A roof installed in Orlando has to handle both.

That’s why we insist on proper underlayment specs and why we’re particular about ventilation. A roof that doesn’t breathe in Orlando’s climate traps moisture, and trapped moisture means deck rot, mold, and shingles that fail before their warranty is up. New construction gives you the chance to get ventilation right from the first day. Once the drywall is up and the house is insulated, fixing ventilation is an expensive retrofit. Getting it right during new construction is cheap.

The permitting process in Orlando and Orange County also moves differently for new construction than for replacements. Your new roof is part of the overall building permit for the structure, which means the roof has to pass inspection as part of the whole build. We’ve worked with Orlando and Orange County inspectors for years, and our installs are built to pass the first time. If you’re acting as your own GC, we can walk you through what the roof inspection will look for, from fastener patterns to underlayment exposure to drip edge detail.

Materials We Install on New Construction in Orlando

We install new construction roofs using materials from four manufacturers we trust: GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, and Boral.

• GAF architectural shingles are the workhorse of Orlando new construction. They’re what we recommend most often for a home in the $9,000-to-$15,000 range. Good wind ratings, good color options, and a manufacturer warranty that’s backed by a company that’s been around for over a century.
• CertainTeed offers some of the highest-end shingle lines we install, including designer profiles that add real curb appeal to a new build. If you want the roof to be the first thing someone notices about the house, CertainTeed is worth a look.
• Owens Corning is durable, available in Orlando, and carries solid manufacturer warranties. If your GC or architect specified Owens Corning, we install it to spec.
• Boral tile is the premium option. Tile roofs are heavier, they require a deck that’s engineered for the load, and they cost significantly more than shingles. But on the right home, nothing looks like a Boral tile roof. If you’re building in a neighborhood with an HOA that requires tile, we’ll help you navigate that.

We don’t list every brand because it sounds good. We list the ones we actually install and stand behind. If you want something outside those four lines, call us and we’ll tell you honestly whether we can get it and whether we’d recommend it for a new build in Orlando.

What the 365-Day Done Right Promise Really Means

Every new construction roof we install is covered by the 365-Day Done Right Promise. Here’s what that means in plain language: if anything on that roof fails because of our workmanship within 365 days of the installation date, we fix it. No charge. No argument. No “that’s not covered.”

That includes a free second visit if the initial fix doesn’t hold. If we have to come back a third time, we’re doing something wrong, and we’ll figure it out on our dime, not yours. That promise is in writing, and it’s included with every new construction job. It’s not an upsell and it’s not a warranty you have to remember to register. It’s just what we do.

Alongside that promise, every job is governed by The Relay Visibility Guarantee. That’s the parent standard from our family of companies under Relay Home Co. It covers the things that make a roofing job feel modern instead of stuck in 1995: written pricing before work starts, live arrival tracking, photo documentation before and after, and a digital invoice by text. If you’ve ever hired a contractor who promised one thing and delivered another, you understand why the visibility guarantee matters.

Working with Builders, GCs, and Homeowners

We take new construction clients in three forms: homeowners who are building their own home and acting as their own GC, homeowners who have hired a builder but want input on the roofer, and contractors who need a roofing partner on a new build.

If you’re a homeowner acting as your own GC, the most valuable thing we can give you is a roofer who shows up when the framing is done and doesn’t hold up the next trade. We know how to read the build schedule, we know when the permit office needs to sign off, and we’ll coordinate directly with your framer so the roof goes on the day the deck goes down.

If you’ve hired a builder, we’re happy to work with them, and we encourage you to ask them one question: what does the roofing allowance actually cover? If the answer is vague, call us. We’ll give you a written quote for your specific plan, and you can compare that against the allowance before you’ve signed anything that commits you to a number that might not hold up.

If you’re a builder or GC, the value we bring is predictability. We quote accurately, we show up when we say we will, we document the installation with photos, and your client gets a written guarantee. That means fewer callbacks for you and a homeowner who’s not chasing you about what the roofer did or didn’t do.

Common Questions About New Construction Roofing in Orlando

Here are the questions we hear most often from homeowners and builders in Orlando, with straight answers.

How much does new construction roofing cost in Orlando?

Most new construction roofs in Orlando cost between $9,000 and $22,500 depending on the size, pitch, and material. A standard architectural shingle roof on a 2,200 sf home runs $9,000 to $15,000. Boral tile starts around $22,000 and goes up from there. Call (448) 218-0800 for an exact written quote on your specific plans, at no cost.

How long does a new construction roof take to install?

A typical new construction shingle roof takes 2 to 4 days from start to finish, depending on the roof size, pitch, and whether the deck is fully ready. Tile takes longer, typically 5 to 8 days, because each tile is individually placed and cut. We’ll give you a schedule in writing before we start, and you’ll know exactly when we’re arriving each day.

What’s the difference between new construction roofing and a roof replacement?

New construction means the roof goes on a structure that’s never had a roof. A replacement means tearing off the old roof and installing a new one. New construction gives you a clean slate: no old deck damage, no hidden rot, no layers to strip. But it requires precise coordination with the build schedule and the framing. Both are services we handle daily. For a full breakdown of what a replacement involves, see our Roof Replacement & Installation in Orlando page.

Does a new construction roof need a permit in Orlando?

Yes. A new construction roof is part of the overall building permit for the structure, not a standalone roof permit. In Orlando and Orange County, the roof will be inspected as part of the new build. We install to code and to the manufacturer’s specs, and our work is built to pass on the first inspection. We’ll tell you before we start what the inspector will be looking at.

What kind of warranty do I get on a new construction roof?

You get two layers of protection. First, the manufacturer’s warranty on the materials: GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, and Boral all provide material warranties that vary by product line. Second, you get the Crestview 365-Day Done Right Promise: if anything on the roof fails because of our workmanship within 365 days, we fix it free. That second one is in writing and it’s included with every job, no registration required.
