How Much Does a Roof Replacement Cost in Clermont, FL?

Short answer: the price of a Clermont roof replacement comes from your roof, not your ZIP code. The biggest drivers are the measured roof area, pitch, material, and any decking that has to be replaced. Published Clermont ranges rarely cite a source, so the fastest reliable number is the one built from your own roof: price your roof online from your address.

We're Noland's Roofing, Florida Certified Roofing Contractor #CCC1335461. Our Clermont office at 1295 W Hwy 50 is where we started, and Lake County is our home market.

What drives the price

• Measured squares. Roof area, not house area. Pitch, overhangs, the garage and the lanai all add roof area that living-space square footage never counts. A roofing "square" is 100 square feet of roof, and waste for cuts is added on top.
• Pitch. Clermont sits on the northern Lake Wales Ridge, and ridge lots tend to have steeper builder rooflines. Steeper roofs need staging and fall protection and take longer to work, and that labour shows up in the quote.
• Layers. Each existing layer of shingles has to be torn off and hauled away before the new roof goes on.
• Decking. Rotted or damaged sheathing is replaced once the old roof is off. In Lake County, homes built before March 1, 2002 must also have the existing sheathing re-nailed, to a standard equivalent to 8d nails no more than 6 inches on centre (FBCEB 706.7.1), with progress photos showing the fastener spacing. If your home predates that date, this is real scope and should appear on any quote.
• Material. Shingle, metal and tile are priced very differently (see below).
• Permits. A small line item, but it depends on which office issues yours.

Shingle vs metal vs tile in Clermont

• Architectural shingle is the most common replacement on Clermont homes and the one our online pricing tool prices on screen.
• Standing-seam metal costs more up front and is quoted from the measured roof. See metal roofing and our metal roof cost guide.
• Concrete and clay tile is heavier and priced from the actual roof, and the structure has to be rated for it. See tile roofing and tile vs shingle.

Clermont and Lake County permit costs

A "Clermont, FL" mailing address doesn't tell you who issues your permit. ZIP codes 34711, 34714 and 34715 contain both City of Clermont and unincorporated Lake County properties. The definitive check is the Lake County Property Appraiser property search.

The two offices publish different rates:

Sources: City of Clermont Building Services fee schedule (roofing line revised 15 May 2024); Lake County FY2025 adopted fee schedule. Call the issuing office to confirm the current fee before relying on it.

Permitting is rarely what delays a roof here. The City of Clermont issues re-roof permits over the counter with no plan review once a completed application is received, and unincorporated Lake County auto-issues online residential re-roof applications. Flood-zone properties need review first.

How to compare two Clermont quotes

1. Check the roof area. Both quotes should be built on the measured roof, in squares, with waste stated. If the areas differ a lot, ask why.
2. Check the tear-off. How many layers are being removed, and is disposal included?
3. Check the decking line. How is replacement sheathing priced, and is re-nailing included if your home was built before March 1, 2002?
4. Check the underlayment and secondary water barrier. Florida requires a secondary water barrier on a reroof; the quote should say which method is used.
5. Check the flashing and ventilation. New drip edge, valley and wall flashing, pipe boots and vents should be listed, not assumed.
6. Check the permit. Which office is it being filed with, and who schedules the inspections?
7. Check the license. Look the contractor up on the Florida DBPR license search.

A bid that is far cheaper than the others usually differs on one of these lines. For the other questions to ask, see how to hire a roofer in Florida.
