Trusted Roofing Company for Orlando Homeowners
Finding a roofing company in Orlando, FL means trusting someone with the structure that protects everything under it. That trust is hard to give, especially when you won’t know the person walking up your driveway. Mercer Roofing Co Orlando was founded in 2000 and works under the Threshold Group standard: every technician is background-checked, identity-verified, and badged with a photo ID before they ever knock on your door. You’ll know their name and see their face before the visit, not after. Call (850) 757-3564 and a live person answers, 24/7.
Roofing Contractor
A Roofing Contractor is the licensed professional who evaluates, repairs, or replaces the roof system on your home or commercial building. In Orlando, you’ll need a Roofing Company in Orlando when heavy summer storms expose weak flashing, when shingles start curling from UV heat, or when a decades-old roof reaches the end of its life. Mercer Roofing Co Orlando handles all of it, and the first thing you get from us is a written price before any work starts – never a verbal estimate that changes later. Typical roofing contractor work in the Orlando metro runs $350 to $900 for targeted repairs, $6,500 to $18,000 for full shingle replacement on an average single-family home, and $9,000 to $35,000+ for metal or specialty systems depending on square footage and pitch.
When homeowners call us
We hear from Orlando homeowners after a windstorm strips a section of shingles, after a ceiling stain appears in a bedroom, or when an insurance adjuster flags missing flashing around a chimney. Those are all legitimate reasons to call a roofing contractor quickly. Delaying a roof repair in Florida’s humidity turns a small leak into decking rot within months, and that changes a $450 repair into a multi-thousand-dollar decking replacement.
What separates a real contractor from a pickup truck
Anyone can show up with a ladder and a nail gun after a storm. A licensed, insured contractor carries liability coverage, pulls permits when required, and stands behind the work with a written guarantee. Mercer puts the 365-Day Done Right Promise on every repair: if the work isn’t right within a year, we make it right. That’s in writing. It’s not a handshake.
Styles & brands we work with
Roof Inspection
A Roof Inspection is a professional evaluation of every roof component – shingles, flashing, underlayment, decking, vents, and gutters – to find damage before it becomes a ceiling leak. Orlando homeowners should schedule one after any major wind or hail event, before buying or selling a home, and at least once a year if the roof is over 12 years old. Mercer Roofing Co Orlando performs inspections with written findings and photos, not a verbal “looks okay from the curb.” A standard residential roof inspection in the Orlando area runs $150 to $350, and if the inspection turns into a repair, we apply that fee toward the work.
What we find during an inspection
The most common inspection findings in Orlando are lifted shingles, cracked pipe boots, rusted flashing at valleys and chimneys, and granule loss you can spot in the gutters. We document each issue with photos and a plain-English explanation of the fix. You decide what gets done and when.
Insurance and home sale inspections
If you’re filing a wind or hail claim, your carrier wants documentation. Our inspection report gives you dated photos, cause-of-damage notes, and repair scope that helps the adjuster move faster. For home sales, a clean inspection report keeps closing on schedule and gives buyers something concrete instead of a seller’s assurance.
Commercial Roofing
Commercial Roofing is roof work on flat or low-slope buildings: warehouses, offices, medical suites, restaurants, retail. Orlando businesses deal with different systems than homes do – TPO, EPDM, modified bitumen, and metal – and they need a contractor who doesn’t just do residential shingles on the side. Mercer Roofing Co Orlando handles commercial inspections, repairs, coatings, and full installations for property owners throughout Orlando, Ocoee, and Oviedo. Commercial roof repair in the Orlando market typically runs $600 to $2,500 depending on the membrane and damage extent, while full commercial re-cover or replacement runs $6 to $12 per square foot installed.
Flat roof repair priorities
On commercial buildings, small punctures and seam failures around rooftop HVAC units are the top leak sources. We trace them, patch the membrane, and reinforce seams with the correct bonding method for the material – not a one-size-fits-all caulk job. Every repair is covered by our 365-Day Done Right Promise.
Preventive maintenance plans
Quarterly or semi-annual inspections catch debris on drains, early membrane cracking, and loose edge metal before a leak interrupts business. We structure maintenance plans by building size and age, and every visit comes with written documentation so property managers have a paper trail.
Metal Roof Installation
Metal Roof Installation is the full replacement of an existing roof with standing seam panels or metal shingles, fastened to the decking over new underlayment. In Orlando, metal roofs resist high winds, shed rain faster than asphalt, and carry a 40-75 year lifespan depending on the panel gauge and coating. Mercer Roofing Co Orlando installs metal systems on both homes and commercial structures, and we use manufacturer-specified fastening patterns – never a shortcut pattern that works “pretty much the same.” Metal roof installation in the Orlando market runs $12,000 to $34,000 for an average single-family home, with standing seam at the upper end and exposed-fastener panels at the lower.
Metal vs. shingles in Orlando’s climate
Metal panels don’t absorb heat the way asphalt shingles do, which helps attic temperatures stay slightly lower during July and August. They also don’t lose granules, curl, or blow off in the 70-80 mph gusts that Orlando sees during summer squalls. The tradeoff is upfront cost – metal runs 50 to 100 percent more than architectural shingles on most homes.
What the install actually involves
We remove the old roof to inspect decking, install a synthetic underlayment, then lay panels in a pattern that channels water away from seams and penetrations. Drip edge, ridge caps, and vent boots are metal-matched to the system. The work typically takes 3 to 7 working days, and you receive a written price before the first panel arrives.
Residential Roofing
Residential Roofing is the installation, repair, and maintenance of roofs on single-family homes, townhomes, and small multi-family buildings. Orlando’s home roof mix is predominantly architectural shingles with some tile, metal, and flat-roof sections on mid-century ranches. Mercer Roofing Co Orlando works with manufacturer-recognized shingle brands including GAF, CertainTeed, and Owens Corning, and every residential job includes a written price and written workmanship guarantee. Full residential shingle replacement in Orlando runs $6,500 to $18,000 depending on square footage, pitch, number of stories, and whether decking needs spot replacement.
Asphalt shingle replacement
An average Orlando home needs between 22 and 28 squares of shingles, plus new underlayment, drip edge, and vent boots. We install per the manufacturer’s high-wind nailing pattern – important in an area where code requires wind-mitigation features that also lower insurance premiums. Written line-item pricing means you see the material, labor, and waste removal costs separately.
Tile and specialty roofs
Spanish tile and concrete tile roofs are common in Orlando’s older neighborhoods like Conway and Lake Mary. Tile work requires a lighter touch – walk patterns that don’t crack tile, and matching replacement tiles from salvage yards when the original color is discontinued. We do tile repair, re-bedding, and full replacement without pressuring you to switch to shingles.
Roof Maintenance
Roof Maintenance is scheduled, preventive work that extends the life of a roof: cleaning debris from valleys, inspecting and resealing flashing, clearing gutters, and replacing failing sealant around pipes and vents. Orlando roofs age faster from UV exposure, afternoon downpours, and the organic debris that piles up under oak canopies. Mercer Roofing Co Orlando offers maintenance visits for both residential and commercial properties, and we document each visit with photos and a short written report. Preventative maintenance in the Orlando market runs $250 to $600 per visit for a single-family home, and annual plans reduce that per-visit cost.
What a maintenance visit covers
During a visit, we walk the entire roof surface, clear debris from valleys and behind chimneys, inspect every penetration boot, reseal where needed, and remove anything blocking drainage. If we spot a problem, you get a photo, a plain-English explanation, and a written price to fix it that visit or on a scheduled return.
Why annual maintenance pays for itself
A $300 maintenance visit catches a cracking pipe boot before it leaks, which saves the $900 ceiling repair and the $500 drywall patch that come later. The math is straightforward, and it’s why we recommend maintenance at least annually on roofs over 10 years old and twice a year on homes under heavy tree cover.
Roof Coating
Roof Coating is a liquid-applied membrane that seals and extends the life of an existing roof, used most often on flat and low-slope commercial roofs and occasionally on metal residential roofs. In Orlando, coatings reflect UV heat, which reduces cooling load inside the building and slows the aging of the underlying membrane. Mercer Roofing Co Orlando applies silicone, acrylic, and elastomeric coatings for commercial and residential clients, and we do adhesion testing before we quote so you’re not paying for a coating that will peel. Roof coating applications in the Orlando market run $2 to $5 per square foot, with typical commercial projects landing between $4,500 and $18,000 total.
Silicone vs. acrylic coatings
Silicone handles ponding water well and holds up longest in Florida’s UV environment, which is why we recommend it for most Orlando flat roofs. Acrylic costs less up front but degrades faster under standing water. We’ll explain the difference and let you choose based on your building’s drainage and your budget – no pressure toward the higher margin product.
When coating makes sense instead of replacement
If the existing membrane is sound but aged, coating can add 10 to 15 years for a fifth of the cost of replacement. If the insulation is wet or the membrane is split, coating is a waste of money – we’ll tell you that plainly instead of selling you a temporary fix.
Free Roof Estimate
A Free Roof Estimate is a written, itemized price for roof work, prepared by Mercer Roofing Co Orlando after an on-site evaluation. You’ll get it before any work starts, in writing, with materials and labor separated so you can compare it against any other bid. We don’t charge for the visit, and we don’t use the estimate as a sales appointment – the number we show you is the number on the invoice. Every estimate includes the same information: scope of work, materials specified by manufacturer and line, labor, waste removal, and permit costs if applicable.
What happens during the estimate visit
One of our background-checked technicians arrives in a marked uniform with a photo ID badge. They go on the roof, take measurements, photograph damage or wear, and then walk through the findings with you in plain English. You get the written price on the spot or within 24 hours, along with the inspection findings. No obligation follows.
What a good estimate should include
A real estimate names the shingle manufacturer and grade – for example, CertainTeed Landmark versus a builder-grade 3-tab – and separates decking replacement from the base scope. If it doesn’t, you’ll compare numbers that aren’t measuring the same job. We itemize everything so you see exactly what you’d pay and what you’d get.

AfterBrands We Service
We install and repair GAF shingle systems to manufacturer specification, including Timberline HDZ and related product lines. GAF’s high-wind nailing pattern matters in Orlando, and we follow it on every install. We also maintain and repair existing GAF roofs, matching shingle colors where the original line is still in production and sourcing matched alternatives when it’s not.
CertainTeed and Owens Corning are the other two brands we work with most in Orlando. CertainTeed’s Landmark series and Owens Corning’s Duration line both hold up well under Florida UV, and we’re familiar with their warranty registration processes – which matters, because an unregistered warranty is no warranty at all. Whether you have GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, or any other make, we can help.
Signs You Need a Pro Right Now
- New water stain on a ceiling or wall. If you see a brown or copper-colored ring spreading on drywall, water is actively entering. It may travel from a penetration ten feet away from the stain, so a professional needs to trace the water path back to the actual entry point.
- Shingles in the yard or at the base of downspouts after a storm. Wind-lifted shingles on one side of the roof let water onto the underlayment, and repeated storms turn that into decking damage. Granules collecting in gutters tell you the shingles are in their last stage of life.
- Daylight visible through the attic boards. If you can see light pinholes from inside the attic, water can get through those same holes. This is a decking issue, not a shingle issue, and it costs more the longer it waits.
- Sagging ridge line or dipping between rafters. A visible dip in the roof plane means structural sag – wet decking, a failing truss, or years of excess load. This is not a repair call; it’s a structural evaluation, and the longer it sits the more expensive it becomes.
- Water pooling on a flat roof after rain stops. Standing water 48 hours after a rain means drainage has failed, and the membrane is under constant hydrostatic pressure. In Orlando’s heat that pool accelerates membrane breakdown, and it’s where leaks start.

How Much Does Roofing Company Cost in Orlando?
A typical roofing repair in Orlando runs $350 to $900 for targeted work like a pipe boot replacement or a small patch. A full shingle replacement on an average single-family home runs $6,500 to $18,000, with labor accounting for roughly 60 percent of the total and materials the remaining 40. Commercial repairs start around $600 and run to $2,500, while full commercial re-cover runs $6 to $12 per square foot.
What changes the price is square footage, roof pitch, number of stories, tear-off and disposal burden, decking condition, and material grade. A steep second-story roof costs more in labor and safety equipment than a low single-story. Decking that’s rotted from decades of deferred maintenance adds $3 to $6 per sheet of plywood replaced. Architectural shingles with wind-warranty ratings cost more than builder-grade 3-tab but last 15 to 20 years longer.
Avoid overpaying by getting line-item quotes and comparing the same material grade across contractors. A low bid with builder shingles and no decking allowance won’t be lower on closing day. Our free estimate includes all of it – materials named by brand and line, decking allowance per sheet, permit fees if applicable, and the workmanship guarantee. Call (850) 757-3564 to schedule yours.
