Prices reviewed October 2026

Asphalt shingles, 2,000 sq ft of roof in Orlando
$8,000 – $15,000

Typical price for asphalt shingles. HomeBlue's Orlando cost data puts basic asphalt shingles on 2,000 sq ft of roof (20 squares) at $8,000 to $12,600. RoofingCalc's Orlando page puts architectural shingles at $10,000 to $15,000 for the same roof, and PITCH Roofing, which works in Orlando, lists architectural shingles at $5 to $9 per sq ft installed and says the average Orlando replacement costs around $14,000. Orlando is inland and outside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, but roofs here are still built to resist hurricane-force wind.

That range is for 2,000 sq ft of roof, not living space. A 2,000 sq ft one-story home with a garage usually has well over 2,000 sq ft of roof, so use the estimate below for your house.

About 33 squares of roof (3,300 sq ft, including waste).

This works out your roof's size from the home's footprint, garage, overhangs, a typical 6/12 slope, and about 12% for cutting waste, then prices it with the per-square rates in the material table above. If a roofer has measured your roof, enter the squares from the quote to skip the size estimate. Permits and decking repairs can add to the total. The full calculator adds pitch, roof shape, and tear-off layers.

Repairs up to $20,000 are a grant, and larger jobs become deferred loans forgiven after 10 or 15 years if you stay in the home. The city doesn't list roofs specifically.

Common questions

What is a dry-in inspection in Orlando?

It's a city inspection of the roof deck nailing and the secondary water barrier before the shingles, tile, or metal go on. Orlando has required it on every re-roof since January 1, 2020, and a roof that skipped it may have to be partly removed at final inspection.

How long does Orlando take to approve a roof permit?

The city says it reviews residential re-roof applications and contacts you within three business days. After you pay, it emails the permit, the inspection sign-off sheet, and the affidavit.

Can I replace my own roof in Orlando?

Owner-builders can apply, but they must sign an Owner/Builder Declaration in person at the Permitting Services office. The same dry-in and final inspections apply.

Is there help paying for a new roof in Orlando?

The city's Housing Rehabilitation Program gives grants of up to $20,000 and deferred loans for larger repairs to income-qualified owners of single-family homes in city limits. My Safe Florida Home is the statewide option.
