Roof Installation in Orlando

Roof installation in Orlando covers more than replacing what wore out. New construction needs a first roof done right, additions need their roofs tied cleanly into the existing house, and a full replacement is an installation from the deck up. Burnes Roofing Company, LLC handles all of it, with the owner on the roof for every install.

Tommy Burnes has one standard for a roof his name goes on: the parts you never see, the nailing, the underlayment, the flashing, are done as carefully as the parts you do. That standard does not change between a custom home and a back-porch addition.

New construction roofing

On a new build, the roof sits in the middle of everyone’s schedule: the framers before it, every interior trade waiting behind it for dry-in. We install new construction roofs for homes and new commercial buildings across Central Florida, coordinate with the builder’s timeline, and get the dry-in done so the rest of the job can move. Commercial builds with flat or low-slope sections are covered on our commercial roofing side.

Because the owner runs the crew, a builder gets the same thing a homeowner does: one person who answers for the schedule and the workmanship, and a roof that passes inspection the first time instead of becoming the trade everyone waits on twice.

Additions and tie-ins

An addition brings its own roofing problem: the new roof has to join the old one without creating a leak at the seam. That junction, where new framing meets a weathered roof plane, is exactly the kind of transition water finds. We flash and weave the tie-in properly, match the new materials to what is on the house as closely as the products allow, and treat the joint as the most important few feet of the job, because it is.

The details that decide a roof's lifespan

Two roofs can use the same shingle and age completely differently. The difference is installation:

  • Nailing pattern and placement per Florida code, so panels and shingles hold in real wind
  • Underlayment installed flat and sealed, the layer that actually keeps water out
  • Flashing at every wall, valley and penetration, where most roofs fail first
  • Attic ventilation that lets Florida heat escape instead of cooking the shingles from below
  • A county inspection passed and documented

Roof inspections in Orlando

Not sure what you have? A roof inspection answers it with photos instead of guesses. We inspect roofs after a storm, when a roof is getting old enough to plan around, or when you simply want to know where you stand. The inspection is free, and so is hearing that your roof is fine. You get the pictures and a plain-language read on what, if anything, the roof needs, whether that is nothing, a repair, or a replacement conversation. Schedule an inspection and know where you stand.

Roof installation questions, answered

Yes. New construction roof installation is part of our work, and we know the rhythm of a build schedule: show up when the framing is ready, get the dry-in done, keep the inspector and the GC in the loop.

The roof surface, flashing, penetrations, and the attic side when there is access. Everything notable gets photographed, and you get a plain answer: the roof is fine, it needs a specific repair, or it is time to price a replacement.

A typical single-family install runs a few days once materials are on site. Florida weather sets the real schedule, so we plan around the forecast, dry the deck in at the end of each day, and keep you posted rather than promising dates a storm can cancel.

Architectural asphalt shingle is the bulk of our residential work, alongside tile, metal and TPO flat roofing. On a new build or addition we install whichever system the plans and the budget call for, and we will tell you honestly how each performs in Central Florida.
