When Florida’s storm season ramps up, choosing a hurricane-resistant roof becomes essential for Orlando homeowners. The right roofing system can mean the difference between peace of mind and costly damage when high winds and heavy rain hit Central Florida.
Every roofing system in Orlando must comply with Florida Building Code standards designed to withstand hurricane conditions. Understanding these codes is crucial, especially for those replacing or installing a new roof in the region.
Shingle roofing remains a popular choice due to its affordability and adaptability. For those seeking more durability and wind resistance, our shingle roofing in Florida is built to meet tough performance standards.
Metal roofing is a strong option because of its exceptional strength, wind uplift resistance and long lifespan. Although more expensive, metal roofs are often the preferred choice for storm-ready homes.
In addition to selecting the right materials, reinforcing key structural components helps secure the entire system. This includes enhanced decking, specialized fasteners and properly sealed edges and flashing points—all critical elements offered through comprehensive roofing services for residential and commercial properties.
Energy efficiency also plays a role in roof performance. Orlando’s intense sun and heat call for roofing systems that reflect solar radiation and support indoor cooling. These benefits are part of many advanced roofing systems now designed for both protection and efficiency.
Gulf Western Roofing thinks beyond just installation—we provide solutions to perform under the most extreme weather. The result is a roof that’s ready for whatever the season brings.
