The 7 Best Roofing Companies in Orlando, FL

In our October 20, 2026 edition, BFARR Contracting ranks first with 85 of 100 points, followed by Janney Roofing with 75 and Central Homes Roofing & Solar with 74. Its strongest recognition: Orlando Magazine Orlando Home Design Awards 2024 - Roofing Company, 1st place (readers' poll). Scores combine the public Google rating, independent recognition and years in business.

Use the free license search at myfloridalicense.com, run by the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR). Search by company name or license number, then repeat the search with the qualifying contractor's own name, as DBPR suggests, to confirm that person qualifies the business. Florida contractors must show their license number on bids, contracts and ads. All seven roofers here hold an active Certified Roofing Contractor license.

Yes. Orange County's permit guide says a replacement roof needs a roof permit, and a re-roof gets an in-progress inspection and a final inspection. The City of Orlando also requires a permit to replace or repair a roof, plus a dry-in inspection and a completed affidavit at final inspection confirming deck nailing and the secondary water barrier. Ask your roofer for the permit number before work starts.

Of the seven, only Central Homes Roofing & Solar lists solar installation alongside roof repair and replacement. It works from Boothe Circle in Longwood and serves much of Central Florida and Tampa Bay. Its roofing license is active on DBPR, but we did not check any solar or electrical license, so ask for that license number too and look it up at myfloridalicense.com before you sign.

GAF's contractor directory lists BFARR Contracting, Schick Roofing and Sheegog Contracting as Master Elite contractors with the President's Club award. Owens Corning's contractor locator lists Janney Roofing as a Platinum Preferred contractor. We read both directories on October 20, 2026. A manufacturer's status can change, so look the company up in that manufacturer's own directory again before you sign.

Not for age alone if the roof is under 15 years old: Florida law bars insurers from refusing to issue or renew a homeowner's policy for that reason. For a roof 15 years or older, the insurer must let you have it inspected by an authorized inspector, at your expense, before requiring a replacement, and it cannot refuse solely on age if the inspection shows at least five years of useful life left.

No. Florida law bars contractors from offering cash, gift cards, rebates, deductible waivers or anything else of value in exchange for inspecting your roof or filing a roof insurance claim. A roofer also cannot interpret your policy or adjust your claim unless licensed as a public adjuster. Roof contracts must include a notice about these rules, and each violation can bring a fine of up to $10,000.

No. Nobody can pay to be listed on Orlando Best 7 or to move up, and none of these seven roofers paid to appear. The list is built from public evidence: Google ratings weighted by how many people left them, recognition from independent guides and awards dated 2024 to 2026, and years in business. A roofer also needs an active Florida license on DBPR to be eligible.
