A roof inspection in Orlando is the fastest way to catch damage before it turns into a leak or a denied insurance claim. JA Edwards of America inspects roughly 90 roofs a week across Central Florida and has been doing it since 2004. Our standard inspection is free, includes photo documentation and a written report, and we document storm damage in the format your insurance adjuster needs.
Orlando's climate is hard on roofs. Year-round UV exposure, afternoon storms from May through October, high humidity, and the occasional named hurricane mean a roof here ages faster than in most of the country. Most of that damage is invisible from the ground. A shingle can look fine while the underlayment beneath it is already compromised, and flashing around a pipe boot can pull away for months before a water stain shows up on your ceiling.
By the time damage is visible inside the home, the repair is usually far more expensive than it would have been six months earlier. A professional inspection catches those problems while they are still cheap to fix, or while they are still documentable for an insurance claim. That is the whole point of getting eyes on the roof early.
We run about 90 inspections a week, which means our team has seen every failure mode this climate produces. We know what Orange County permits require, what the inspectors look for, and what actually holds up here. When we walk your roof, you get a straight answer about its condition, not a sales pitch.

Our inspections go well beyond a quick walk-around. Here is what we evaluate on every roof, documented with photos as we go.
Surface & Covering
Shingles, tile, or metal panels checked across every slope for cracking, curling, granule loss, impact marks, and storm damage. Not just the street-facing side.
Flashing
The metal that seals joints at walls, chimneys, skylights, and vents. It is the most common failure point on any roof, so we inspect every transition for lifting, corrosion, and gaps.
Decking & Structure
Where accessible, we check for soft spots, sagging, and signs that water has reached the wood beneath your roofing material.
Gutters & Drainage
Clogged or poorly pitched gutters back water up under the roofline. We assess gutters, downspouts, and drainage flow on every visit.
Attic & Ventilation
When access is available, we look for moisture, staining, mold, and inadequate ventilation, all of which shorten roof life in Florida's humidity.
Photo Report
You get photos of everything we find and a written summary with a clear recommendation: repair, monitor, or replace, and why.
Damage the adjuster can't argue with.
After a storm, the difference between an approved claim and a denied one often comes down to documentation. We inspect the roof, photograph the damage in detail, and write it up in the format your insurance adjuster expects to see. Clear, dated, and specific.
We have worked with every major Florida insurer and we know what they look for and where claims fall apart. We cannot promise what your carrier will approve, that decision is theirs, but we make sure the roof side of your claim is documented properly so nothing gets dismissed for lack of evidence.
- Detailed photo documentation of all storm-related damage
- Written report formatted for your adjuster
- Same-day response for active leaks after a storm
- Straight guidance on whether a claim is worth filing

Roof Covering
Whether your covering meets current Florida product approval standards.
Deck Attachment
How the roof deck is fastened to the structure underneath.
Roof-to-Wall
The connections holding the roof to the walls, clips or straps.
Water Resistance
Secondary water barrier that limits intrusion if the covering fails.
Thinking about wind mitigation?
A wind mitigation inspection documents how well your roof is built to resist wind, and Florida insurers use that report to apply premium credits. It is one of the few inspections that can pay for itself, especially right after a new roof when your structure is most likely to qualify for the strongest credits.
The wind mitigation report itself is issued by a licensed inspector and carries a fee, so it is separate from your free roof inspection. We will tell you honestly whether it is worth doing for your situation and point you in the right direction so your roof is documented to qualify. If you just had a roof replaced in the Orlando area, this is the next step worth taking.

We are so happy that we made the decision to trust our roof replacement to Joel Vazquez and JA Edwards of America. From the very first consultation to the final clean-up, the entire process was seamless. Joel's communication skills are top-tier; he kept us informed every step of the way and was always available to answer our questions.
Joel handled everything related to our insurance company and made sure they delivered on our coverage.
It is so hard to find contractors who actually do what they say they’re going to do, but Joel exceeded every expectation we had. His attention to detail was evident throughout- the job was perfect, the site was left clean, and our new roof and home look amazing.
If you want a stress-free experience and a beautiful new roof, Joel is first person you should call.
Thank you Joel and JA Edwards!

A special thank you to the crew for their quality work. They made our roof look beautiful and secure, and they finished it all in just one day. If you are looking for a roofing company, look no further than JAEA!
Getting a roof through insurance can be a headache, but Wilson is super knowledgeable and made the whole process seamless for us. He was helpful, transparent, and always available to answer our questions. If you’re thinking about getting a new roof, I would highly recommend this team. They get the job done right!
