How many roofing permits does Orlando issue?

Our City of Orlando file holds 6,074 records under the subtype Building Permit - Roof, which is 12.0% of all 50,564 Orlando permits and the largest single subtype in the file. In the trailing 12 months, 3,358 roofing permits were filed carrying $109.4 million in declared value. All-time declared value across the roofing records is $188.7 million, and 100% of them carry a value.

Who is the biggest roofing contractor in Orlando?

It depends entirely on how you ask. By permit count it is Skymark Roofing LLC with 416 filings, whose median declared job value is $2,728. By total declared value it is Core Roofing Systems Inc with $6.97 million across just 8 permits, at a median of $330,889. The top 10 roofers by permit count and the top 10 by declared value share no names at all.

What is a typical Orlando roofing job worth?

The median declared value on an Orlando roofing permit is $11,721, and the 90th percentile is $48,064. That spread is the point: the file mixes small residential repairs in the low thousands with commercial re-roofs above $300,000. A single average across the whole subtype describes almost no real job.

Does hurricane season increase Orlando roofing permits?

Not in the 19 months we hold. Filings across June through November 2025 ran 275, 289, 330, 314, 326 and 225, against an April 2025 peak of 435. The quietest month in the file is November 2025. Our Orlando history starts in January 2025, so this describes two ordinary seasons and is not a claim about what a direct storm strike would do.

Orlando Roofing Permits: Two Leaderboards, Zero Overlap

Q: Do you provide Florida roofing contractor license numbers?

No. Our contractor_license field is 0% populated for Florida, so we hold firm names, not license numbers. Roofing contractors are licensed by the Construction Industry Licensing Board under the Department of Business and Professional Regulation, and license status must be checked against DBPR directly rather than inferred from permit data.

Roofing is the single largest permit subtype in Orlando, with 6,074 filings, 12.0% of the whole city and $188.7 million in declared value. Rank those roofers by how many permits they file and you get one list. Rank them by how many dollars they declare and you get a completely different one. Not a reshuffle: the top 10 by count and the top 10 by value have no companies in common at all.

TL;DR

Roofing is Orlando's biggest subtype: 6,074 permits, 12.0% of the city.
The top 10 by permit count and top 10 by value share zero names.
Median roofing job is $11,721; the 90th percentile is $48,064.
No hurricane-season surge appears in the 19 months of Orlando data we hold.

How big is Orlando's roofing market?

Big enough that roughly one permit in eight is a roof, and unusually well documented.

Our City of Orlando file holds 50,564 permits, of which 6,074 carry the subtype Building Permit - Roof. That is 12.0%, and it makes roofing the largest subtype in the file, ahead of Mechanical Permit - Repair at 4,226 and Electrical - LowVoltage at 3,543.

The trailing 12 months produced 3,358 roofing filings carrying $109.4 million in declared value. All-time, the roofing records total $188.7 million. Every one of them carries a declared value, which is not true of the Orlando file generally and makes this subtype the cleanest thing in it to analyse.

Coverage on those records is strong: 98.2% name a contractor, 98.5% name an owner, and 51.3% carry a contractor phone number. Nine hundred and thirty-eight distinct roofing firms appear.

Who files the most roofing permits in Orlando?

Skymark Roofing LLC, by a wide margin, and their median job is worth $2,728.

Contractor	Permits	Median value
Skymark Roofing LLC	416	$2,728
Proformance Roofing	302	$4,983
C Sterling Quality Roofing Inc	160	$1,923
GWR Central LLC	148	$2,859
Construction Unlimited	137	$4,242
Gold Key Roofing LLC	116	$13,685
Collis Roofing Inc	103	$15,325
Janney Roofing LLC	98	$16,538
3MG Roofing	88	$18,950
The Roof Depot LLC	78	$2,400

Those ten firms hold 27.1% of all Orlando roofing permits, so the market is fragmented by the standards of a licensed trade. Read down the median column and something is already odd. The three highest-volume firms all file jobs worth well under a quarter of the citywide roofing median of $11,721.

Who does the most roofing work by value?

An entirely different set of companies, several of which file fewer than a dozen permits a year.

Contractor	Permits	Total declared value	Median value
Core Roofing Systems Inc	8	$6,974,314	$330,889
Gomez Construction Co	1	$5,106,928	$5,106,928
Atlas Apex Roofing LLC	9	$4,488,299	$390,000
P and A Roofing and Sheet Metal Inc	11	$3,951,878	$240,000
ANC Roofing Inc	41	$3,630,019	$102,447
LaPorta Contracting LLC	31	$3,566,898	$129,788
Weatherproofing Technologies Inc	2	$3,179,720	$1,589,860
Peach State Roofing Inc	8	$3,096,201	$341,375
Eskola LLC	3	$3,040,679	$1,068,309
JK2 Construction	2	$3,000,000	$1,500,000

Compare the two tables. Skymark files 416 permits and appears nowhere here. Core Roofing Systems files 8 and leads. Gomez Construction Co filed exactly one roofing permit in the entire file and it was worth $5.1 million.

These ten hold 21.2% of declared roofing value on 116 permits between them, which is 1.9% of the count.

Why do the two lists share no names?

Because Building Permit - Roof is not one market. It is three, sharing a filing code.

The first is high-volume residential repair. Skymark, C Sterling and The Roof Depot live here, filing hundreds of permits a year at medians between $1,900 and $2,900. These are patches, partial re-covers and small insurance jobs. Volume is the business model.

The second is residential replacement. Gold Key, Collis, Janney and 3MG file dozens to low hundreds of permits at medians from $13,000 to $19,000. A full tear-off and re-roof on a single-family house. This is the group most people picture when they say "roofing contractor", and it sits in the middle of both leaderboards without topping either.

The third is commercial re-roofing. Core Roofing Systems, Atlas Apex, Weatherproofing Technologies and Eskola file a handful of permits at six and seven figures: warehouse decks, hotel roofs, institutional buildings. Weatherproofing Technologies filed two permits at a median of $1.59 million.

A roofer benchmarking against "the top Orlando roofers" without asking which list they are on will draw the wrong conclusion in either direction. The repair specialist looks dominant and is not capturing much revenue. The commercial firm looks invisible and is doing more roofing dollars than anyone. This is the same reasoning trap we described in scoring permit leads by fit rather than by volume, and roofing in Orlando is the clearest example of it we have found in any state.

Does hurricane season drive Orlando roofing filings?

Not in the data we hold, which is the opposite of what most people assume about Florida.

Month	Roof permits	Declared value
2025-04	435	$17.9M
2025-06	275	$9.2M
2025-07	289	$6.6M
2025-08	330	$8.1M
2025-09	314	$5.4M
2025-10	326	$9.3M
2025-11	225	$6.7M
2026-06	266	$13.8M
2026-07	270	$6.9M

The busiest roofing month in the file is April 2025. The quietest is November 2025, at the tail of hurricane season. June through October filings sit in a narrow band around 300 a month in both years.

State that carefully, though. Our Orlando history begins in January 2025, so this covers two seasons in which no major storm hit the city directly. It says that ordinary hurricane season does not by itself move Orlando roofing filings. It does not say a landfall would not, and nobody should plan capacity on the assumption that it would not.

What can the roofing file not tell you?

Four things, and one of them stops a common Florida sales pitch cold.

There are no license numbers. Our contractor_license field is 0% populated for Florida. Roofing is licensed by the Construction Industry Licensing Board under the Department of Business and Professional Regulation, and Florida runs two tiers: certified contractors, who work anywhere in the state, and registered contractors, who work only where they hold local competency. Which tier a firm holds cannot be read from our data. Check DBPR.

There is no geography below the address. Latitude, longitude and postal code are all 0% populated for Orlando, so drive-time territories and ZIP maps are not available here.

There is no review timing. Decision date mirrors application date on every record, so nothing in this file measures how long the city took.

And the work description is a project name rather than a scope. Orlando records things like a subdivision and lot number or an owner surname, so searching the text for roofing words will miss most of the 6,074 records. Filter on the subtype instead. That single habit prevents more misreadings of this file than any other.

The wider point holds here as it does everywhere: a permit is a signal about the property owner, not the contractor. On 98.5% of these records that owner is named.

How permits.llc fits in

Our Florida coverage is the City of Orlando: 50,564 permits, current to within about a day, with 95.6% contractor names, 98.5% owner names and direct-dial contractor phone numbers on 56.0% of the file, which no other state we carry provides. It is one of Florida's 67 counties, and we would rather say so plainly than let a map imply otherwise.

You can download the Orlando permit data and rebuild both leaderboards against your own definition of a competitor, or start from our Florida county coverage to see exactly what the file includes. If tear-off debris and follow-on trades are your business rather than the roof itself, the dumpster and junk removal playbook covers how to work that stream. And permit alerts will tell you when a new roofing filing lands rather than leaving you to check.

Before any of that, decide which of the three roofing markets you are actually in. The leaderboards only mislead people who have not.
