Central Florida’s Trusted Roof Inspection Team
Roofs in Central Florida age faster than most people expect. Afternoon storms drive rain sideways under flashing, the summer sun bakes sealant until it cracks, and algae takes hold on the north-facing slopes long before anyone notices from the street. Most of it is invisible from the ground.
We have been inspecting roofs across Orange, Seminole and Volusia counties since the 1980s. We climb it, photograph it, check the attic where we can, and then tell you plainly what we found and whether it needs doing now.
What We Look For on an Orlando Roof Inspection
These are the problems we find most often on Central Florida roofs. Some are urgent, most are not, and part of our job is telling you which is which.
Roof leaks and water stains
Storm and wind damage
Missing and cracked shingles
Cracked or slipped tiles
Flashing and valley failures
Skylight and vent leaks
Flat roof ponding water
Clogged valleys and gutters
Types of Roof Inspections We Offer in Orlando
Not every inspection is for the same reason. Tell us why you need one and we will send the right person with the right equipment.
Leak Source Inspection
We trace a leak back to where the water actually gets in, which is rarely where the stain shows up inside.
Post-Storm Inspection
After a named storm or a bad hail run we check for lifted shingles, cracked tiles and hidden bruising, and document it for your claim.
Tile Roof Inspection
Barrel and flat tile hides its problems underneath. We check the underlayment, the ridge and the broken tiles you cannot see from the drive.
Shingle Roof Inspection
Granule loss, curling edges, lifted tabs and soft decking. We tell you honestly how many seasons are left.
Commercial Roof Inspection
Flat and low slope roofs for offices, warehouses, retail and HOA buildings, with a written report for your records.
Metal Roof Inspection
Panel movement, fastener backout, seam separation and coating wear on standing seam and corrugated roofs.
Pre-Purchase Inspection
Buying or selling in Central Florida? We give you a clear picture of the roof before you sign anything.
Annual Check-Up
A yearly look before hurricane season, which is what the Rhino Care Club is built around.
Insurance Claim Documentation
Photographs, measurements and a written report prepared the way an adjuster needs to see it, so your claim is not held up.
Commercial Roof Inspections in Orlando
Flat and low slope commercial roofs fail differently to the shingle roofs on houses. Water sits in the low spots after a storm instead of running off, seams open up in the heat, and a split in the membrane can soak the insulation for months before anyone inside sees a stain on the ceiling.
We inspect commercial roofs across Orlando and Central Florida:
- Retail units, offices, warehouses and restaurants
- Churches, schools and HOA managed buildings
- TPO, modified bitumen, built up and standing seam metal
You get back a written report with photographs, the location of everything we find, and a straight answer on whether it needs work now or can wait for the next budget cycle. When the damage is storm related, we document it the way an adjuster needs to see it.
Most property managers book a commercial roof inspection twice a year, once before hurricane season and once after it. If you look after more than one building in the Orlando area, we can schedule them together.
See all our commercial roofing servicesRepair or Replace? The Inspection Answers It
This is the question most people actually want answered, and it is why the inspection matters. We show you the photographs and tell you honestly which side of the line your roof falls on. Sometimes that means a repair. Sometimes it means you have a few good years left and should do nothing at all.
A repair usually makes sense when
- The damage is localized
- Leaks are limited to one area
- Shingles or tiles can be matched
- Flashing or sealant failures are isolated
Replacement is worth costing when
- Multiple leaks keep returning
- Damage affects large sections of the roof
- Materials are worn out across the system
- The roof is near the end of its lifespan

What Orlando Homeowners Say About Our Inspections
4.9 stars across 345 verified Google reviews, from historic homes downtown to new builds in Horizon West, first estimate to final cleanup.
They came bright and early, took off old roof in a few hours and put a waterproof layer on the decking before they started the install of the metal. I gotta tell you, it’s a skill!! Having to put it all together, as nice and simple it looks it’s definitely intricate to put together. The entire install took about a week as they warned us (that’s a normal for metal roofs).
Our house looks great! Metal roof definitely elevates the whole look of the house and I have a peace of mind that we have many years to come not to worry about insurance knocking into my door telling to replace it 😂
Shirley Miller
Orlando, FL
Always helpful with booking appointments, and services calls.
We have had gutters cleaned, tile roof inspections, repairs, and tile washing.I would certainly recommend.
October 10; hurricane Milton drenched Orlando in unrelenting rains.
Consequently, the furious winds and rain came intruding in my house in 3 areas. Honestly, because of magnitude of the storm I really didn’t expect a quick response from a roofing company: Desperately I called four different roofing companies. Rhino was the only company that responded. Truly I was relieved someone could help. The salesman went beyond what I expected,,,,he temporarily found the leaks and patched them as best he could with materials we had on hand. The leaks stopped.
The following week, we met again to discuss a new roof.
It was painless. They arranged financing and the new roof was installed shortly thereafter.
A dire situation turned into a wonderful experience.
Without hesitation I would highly recommend Rhino roofing

Roof Inspection Questions, Answered
How often should I get a roof inspection in Orlando?
Once a year is the sensible baseline in Central Florida, and again after any named storm or serious hail. If your roof is past fifteen years, or you have had work done recently, it is worth looking more often.
What does a roof inspection include?
We go over the roof surface, the flashing, the valleys, the vents and the skylights, then check the attic where there is safe access. Everything gets photographed as we go, and you get a written summary afterwards.
How much does a roof inspection cost in Orlando?
Ours are free, with no obligation and no pressure to book work afterwards. You keep the report and the photographs either way. If you need a formal inspection for an insurance policy or a property sale, mention it when you call and we will tell you what is involved.
What is the 25 percent rule for roofs in Florida?
It is the part of the Florida Building Code covering how much of a roof can be repaired before the whole section has to be brought up to current code. The rules changed in 2022, and what applies to your roof depends on when it was built and its condition. If you are not sure where yours stands, it is one of the things we check.
Do you inspect commercial roofs as well as houses?
Yes. We inspect flat and low slope commercial roofs across Orlando and Central Florida, including TPO, modified bitumen, built up and metal. Property managers usually book them before and after hurricane season.
Do you provide a report after the inspection?
Yes. You get photographs of anything we find and a plain summary of what it means, including whether it needs attention now or can wait.
Do you help document storm damage for an insurance claim?
We photograph and record what we find the way a carrier needs to see it, and we can talk you through what the damage means before you file.
