Central Florida
Shingle Roofing for Winter Park Homes
Shingle is the most common roof in town, from 1950s ranches to new infill homes. Done properly, it is a sound, economical and easy-to-repair covering for most houses here.
- Architectural shingle
- Secondary water barrier
- Free inspection
Summary
The practical roof
Architectural shingle has a thicker, layered build than the three-tab shingle on many older houses. It resists wind better and ages more gently, and it comes in colors that suit both older homes and newer ones.
How the shingle goes on matters as much as the shingle. The deck, the starter course, the nailing pattern, the flashing and the ventilation all decide how long it lasts under heat, humidity and storms.
Shingle is also easy to repair. A damaged area can be replaced without disturbing the rest of the roof.

Why shingle suits many Winter Park homes
Many houses in town have moderate pitches that suit it.
- Works on most pitches above 2:12
- Colors that blend with brick, stucco and wood
- Repairs without redoing the whole roof
- Lower material weight than tile
- A wide range of wind and impact ratings
Details that decide the result
The parts you do not see are the ones that matter.

- Underlayment and a secondary water barrier
- Starter strip and edge metal
- Valley treatment and step flashing
- Ridge vent and attic airflow
- Nail count and placement
Shingle and the trees
Shade changes how a shingle ages.
- Algae streaks on north slopes
- Moisture held by overhanging branches
- Leaves collecting in valleys
- Granule loss from gutters overflowing
- Trimming back limbs that scrape the surface
Pay for the roof over time
Do not let the budget decide the date
A leak or an insurer's letter sets the schedule, and the money should not hold up the work. Our financing starts a new roof with nothing down.
- No credit check required
- $0 down with 100% financing
- Secured and unsecured financing
- 10, 20 and 30 year terms
- No pre-payment penalty
Terms vary with approved credit and project size. Ask us for the exact numbers on your roof.
The monthly payment for a 15-year home improvement installment loan of $10,000 with an APR of 10.99% would be $113. No down payment required. Not all loan products will be available to all partners or all consumers.
Questions
Shingle Roofing: your questions
How long does shingle last in Florida?
It depends on the product, the ventilation and the exposure of the roof. We read the roof you actually have and tell you what we see instead of quoting a number from a brochure.
Can new shingle go over the old?
Usually not. We remove everything down to the deck so we can inspect and repair it, because new shingle over old layers hides moisture problems and adds weight the framing may not want.
Can I choose any color?
Within what your association and any historic review allow. We bring samples to hold against your house and your trim, so that you choose by looking at the real material in daylight.
What is architectural shingle?
A thicker, multi-layer asphalt shingle that resists wind better than the flat three-tab kind and has a dimensional look. It is the most common roof covering on Central Florida homes.
Do you repair shingle?
Yes. Damaged sections, lifted edges and worn ridge caps are routine work, and a repair can often be made without disturbing the rest of the roof, as long as the remaining shingle is sound.
