Our Roof Replacement & Installation Services in Conway
Full Roof Replacement
Most Conway homes we see are ready for Conway Roof Repair or full replacement, not overlay. The 1950s through 1970s ranch stock in 32812 was built with 1×6 skip-sheathing or board decking that simply can’t handle the fastening pattern modern code requires. On a mid-century ranch near Lake Anderson, we found the original skip-sheathing was too rotted to hold new fasteners, so we fully decked with OSB before installing GAF Timberline HDZ algae-resistant shingles. The homeowner had fought green streaks every four years; now they have a 10-year warranty against staining. Full replacement means stripping to the rafters, inspecting the structure, installing proper decking, and building a roof that will last - not covering up problems that will resurface in five years.
New Construction Roofing
While Conway’s buildable lots are scarce, we still handle selective new construction and major additions where the existing roof must tie in seamlessly. We coordinate with your builder on flashing details, especially where new construction meets older roof planes with different pitch angles. Our crews understand Orlando-Dade County code requirements and the wind uplift ratings that apply this close to the coast.
Asphalt Shingle Installation
Asphalt shingles remain the practical choice for most Conway homes, but specification matters enormously here. Standard shingles without algae-resistant granules will show black streaks on north-facing planes within three to five years on homes near Lake Conway or Lake Anderson. We specify copper-granule shingles as standard on any lakeside job - not as an upgrade, but as the baseline necessary for a roof that won’t embarrass you before the first decade is out. We install GAF, CertainTeed, and Owens Corning systems with proper ridge venting to combat the trapped moisture that low-slope ranch roofs collect.
Metal Roofing
Metal roofing makes sense for Conway homeowners planning to stay twenty years or more. The material sheds the intense afternoon thunderstorms that roll through Central Florida’s lightning corridor, and it doesn’t support the algae and moss growth that plague shingle roofs in this lake-effect microclimate. Standing seam systems run $14,000-$24,000 for a typical Conway ranch, but the lifespan often exceeds 40 years with minimal maintenance.
Tile Roofing
Concrete and clay tile suit the Mediterranean and Spanish-influenced homes scattered through Conway’s lakefront areas. Tile is heavy - often 850-950 pounds per square - so we always verify that the existing structure can carry the load, especially on homes with the original skip-sheathing that may have degraded. When the structure needs reinforcement, we quote that upfront. No surprises on the invoice.
Flat Roofing
Flat and low-slope roofs are common on Conway’s Florida rooms, screen enclosures, and garage additions - areas where our Gutters & Accessories in Conway expertise ensures proper drainage integration. These areas demand specialized membranes - TPO, modified bitumen, or EPDM - because standard shingles will fail on pitches below 2:12. The lake-effect humidity makes proper drainage critical; standing water overnight accelerates UV degradation and shortens membrane life. We inspect drains, scuppers, and crickets as part of every flat roof replacement in 32812.

Common Roof Replacement & Installation Problems We See in Conway Homes
- Algae and moss colonization from lake-effect microclimate. The Conway Chain of Lakes creates persistently high humidity that accelerates biological growth. Standard shingle warranties can be voided if algae-resistant granules aren’t specified, and we’ve seen 10-year-old roofs that look twenty because of it.
- Original skip-sheathing or 1×6 board decking failure. The 1950s-70s ranch homes dominating 32812 were built with decking that doesn’t meet modern fastening requirements. Overlay is rarely possible; full deck replacement with OSB or plywood adds $1,800-$3,500 to a typical job but is non-negotiable for a roof that will hold.
- Low-slope roof pitches trapping moisture. Conway’s mid-century ranchers often feature 3:12 or 4:12 pitches that don’t shed water as aggressively as steeper roofs. Combined with overnight dampness from the lakes, this leads to premature granule loss and leaks in as little as 10 years - half the rated life of the shingle.
- Flashings and drainage complexity on lakefront additions. Screen enclosures, Florida rooms, and patio roofs added in the 1980s and 90s create multiple intersecting planes where flashing detail determines whether the main roof leaks. We replace all step flashings, counterflashings, and apron flashings as part of every full replacement.

FAQs - Roof Replacement & Installation in Conway
Yes. Homes immediately bordering Lake Conway and Lake Anderson frequently develop algae bloom on north-facing roof planes within 3-5 years of a standard install. We specify algae-resistant shingles with copper granules as standard on any lakeside job in Conway, not as an upgrade. The small material cost difference prevents callback complaints within a single warranty period. Call (844) 563-1816 and we’ll show you the color options in the algae-resistant lines.
Almost never. The 1×6 board decking common in 32812’s 1950s-70s ranches is too gapped and often too rotted to hold new fasteners to modern wind uplift standards. We inspect every deck during tear-off, and when we find deterioration - which is most of the time - we quote full replacement with OSB or plywood. It’s an added cost, but overlaying bad decking is building a roof on a rotten foundation. We’ll show you photos of your specific deck condition before we proceed.
Conway’s lake-effect microclimate keeps roof surfaces damp longer overnight, which compounds UV degradation from Orlando’s intense solar exposure. Manufacturer warranty estimates are written for drier, more temperate climates. Combined with low-slope pitches that don’t shed water aggressively, shingles here often show granule loss and curling at 10-12 years rather than the 20-25 years on the label. Specifying proper ventilation, algae resistance, and sometimes upgrading to architectural-grade products helps close that gap.
For pitches between 2:12 and 4:12, we recommend architectural asphalt shingles with enhanced sealant strips and proper ice-and-water shield underlayment (yes, even in Florida - it handles wind-driven rain). Below 2:12, shingles are not appropriate; we switch to TPO or modified bitumen membrane systems. During inspection, we measure your exact pitch and recommend accordingly. No guesswork.
Yes. Roof replacement in unincorporated Orange County, which includes the 32812 ZIP, requires a building permit from Orange County Building Safety. We handle the permit application, scheduling, and inspections as part of every job. You don’t visit the county office or manage the paperwork. The permit cost is included in our upfront quote, not added later. Call (844) 563-1816 and we’ll walk you through the timeline.
