Questions

How much does a roof replacement cost in Orlando, FL?

The typical (median) cost is $12,493. Half of projects fall between $8,800 and $18,250, based on 1,600 building permits in Orlando, FL.

Where do these numbers come from?

From building permits that U.S. cities publish on their open-data portals. Each permit includes the project cost declared by the applicant. We filter residential projects of this type and report the 25th percentile, median and 75th percentile.

Why might my quote be higher than these figures?

Permit applicants declare the cost themselves and some understate it. Permits also exclude work that does not need one. Treat the high figure as a realistic ceiling for an average project, not a maximum.
