How much does a roof inspection cost in Orlando?+
Our roof condition inspection is free anywhere in the Orlando metro — Orange, Seminole, Osceola, Lake and Volusia counties — and you keep the photos and the written report either way. Wind mitigation and 4-point inspections for your insurer are separate services.
How fast can you get out to an Orlando roof?+
Our headquarters is on Carder Road in Orlando, so the crews answering Central Florida calls are based in this metro rather than dispatched from elsewhere. In storm season we triage — homes actively taking on water first, then scheduled inspections as the weather clears.
My Orlando house was built in the 2000s. Is it too new to inspect?+
That is actually the cohort we find the most on. 40.9% of Orlando's homes went up in 2000 or later, which puts an original shingle roof from that boom at 15–25 years old today — the exact age where heat-cycled fasteners back out, seal strips fail, and Florida insurers start asking questions. It is also the group most likely to qualify for wind mitigation credits nobody has claimed.
Can Universal do my wind mitigation inspection, or do I need a home inspector?+
We can. Fla. Stat. § 627.711(2)(a) requires insurers to accept a uniform mitigation verification form signed by a licensed home inspector, a certified building code inspector, a general, building or residential contractor licensed under § 489.111, a professional engineer, or a registered architect. Universal holds a Certified Building Contractor licence, CBC1258484, so we qualify. A roofing-only CCC licence does not appear on that list.
Do you inspect outside the city of Orlando?+
Yes — Winter Park, Apopka, Lake Mary, Oviedo, Sanford, Kissimmee, Winter Garden and the rest of the metro. We have served 180+ Florida communities from the Orlando office since 1993.
How often should an Orlando roof be inspected?+
Once a year, plus a look after any storm that passed directly overhead. Between the lightning density, the afternoon storm bands, about 51 inches of rain a year and 92°F Julys, Central Florida roofs work hard.
What happens if the inspection finds nothing wrong?+
Then the report says the roof is fine and we tell you roughly how long you have before it needs attention. A free inspection that always finds work is not an inspection, it is a sales call. Customers mention our honesty in their reviews.
