Frequently asked questions
Every roof is different. Price depends on your roof’s size, material (shingle, tile or metal), pitch and the condition of the wood decking underneath, so we don’t publish a single price range. The best way to get a real price is a free estimate.
The biggest factors are the size of the roof, the material you choose, how steep and complex the roof is, and whether rotted decking has to be replaced. Permits, removal of the old roof, and upgrades like better underlayment or ventilation also affect the price.
Asphalt shingles are usually the most budget-friendly option, while metal and tile roofs typically cost about twice as much as shingle, but can last longer. Every roof is different, so get a free estimate for a real number. We install shingle, metal, tile and flat/low-slope roofs.
Roofers often measure roofs in ‘squares’; one square equals 100 square feet of roof surface. Pricing is often figured per square, then adjusted for the roof’s pitch, layout and extras. Your quote should show what’s included.
In Central Florida, a roof replacement typically requires a building permit from your city or county, and there is a fee for it. A licensed roofer normally pulls the permit and schedules the required inspections. At Florida 5 Star Roofing, the permit cost is included in our quotes.
Insurance may help if your roof was damaged by a covered event, like a storm, depending on your policy and deductible. It typically doesn’t pay for a roof that’s simply old or worn out. This is general information, not insurance advice, so check with your insurer or agent.
