Your Trusted Roofing Company
in Windermere, FL
Windermere roofs are different. High-value homes, strict HOA approval requirements, and a housing stock built mostly in the late 1980s and 1990s that is reaching the end of its original roof life. JA Edwards of America has been navigating both the technical and the HOA approval side of Windermere replacements since 2004. GAF Master Elite, President's Club 3-Star, and one number that answers: (407) 677-7663.

What local homeowners say
"We live in a gated community with strict HOA requirements on roofing materials and colors. JA Edwards handled all the ARC documentation and got our submittal approved before they even scheduled the tear-off. Zero headaches on our end."
"Our 1994 home had the original roof and we kept getting pressure from the HOA to replace it. JA Edwards gave us an honest assessment, worked with our insurance on hail damage from a March storm, and the job was done in a day."
"Three other roofers never mentioned the HOA approval step. JA Edwards brought the color board and material spec sheet to our first meeting. That kind of preparation tells you who actually knows this market."

What Orlando-area homeowners say
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!
I want to specifically call out Seth Wooten, our Project Manager, who helped us with every step of the process—from working with our insurance company to getting the job done and everything in between. Seth is super caring and a phenomenal communicator; he made the whole experience stress-free.
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!

Windermere roofing questions
In most Windermere communities, yes. Your Architectural Review Committee typically requires a color selection, material specification, and in some cases a product data sheet before they approve exterior changes including roofing. We prepare all of this documentation and submit it on your behalf so the approval is in place before we schedule the tear-off, not after.
Most Windermere communities were built with concrete or clay tile and asphalt shingles, and HOA architectural guidelines generally require replacements to match the existing material or use an approved alternative. Standing seam metal is gaining acceptance in some communities for its wind resistance and longevity. We confirm what is on the approved list for your specific community before recommending a product.
The physical install on most Windermere homes is one to two days from tear-off to final magnetic nail sweep. The front end is longer because of the permit and the HOA approval, which together typically add one to three weeks before the crew arrives. We start that process the moment you approve the scope so nothing waits unnecessarily.
Most asphalt shingle roofs installed in the late 1980s and early 1990s in Central Florida are at or past the end of their realistic service life. The UV intensity here accelerates aging compared to national averages. An inspection will tell you exactly where yours stands, and the photo report gives you a documented record before any damage worsens or an HOA notice arrives.
Yes. We document damage the way carriers expect and meet your adjuster on the roof. The March-to-July hail season in Central Florida regularly produces damage on Windermere homes that is not visible from the driveway, and a professional inspection with photos is usually the difference between an approved claim and a denied one.
Yes. We offer financing through Improvifi and Slice with approvals in minutes and no hard pull on your credit for the initial check. If your replacement is tied to an insurance claim, financing can cover the deductible so the out-of-pocket is minimal. Details on our financing page.

A roofing contractor Windermere
homeowners can verify
Windermere is a market where the wrong contractor creates two problems: a roof that does not meet HOA standards and a homeowner left to sort out the correction. JA Edwards of America has held Florida licenses CGC1534283 and CCC1334804 since 2004 and operates out of a real Orlando office at 220 Weber St, about twelve minutes from the heart of the 34786. That proximity matters when a crew needs to respond quickly after a storm, and when an inspector needs to be on-site the same day the insurance adjuster calls.
Windermere's housing stock presents a specific roofing challenge that does not show up in most of the state. The majority of homes here were built between 1985 and 2000, which puts a significant share of the original roofs at or past the thirty-five year mark. Asphalt shingles in Central Florida do not age the way the warranty calendar suggests because the UV exposure, the daily heat cycling, and the repeated wind events of hurricane season compress the realistic lifespan considerably. A roof installed in 1993 that has made it to 2026 has done well, and it is very likely ready for replacement before the HOA sends a notice or a storm makes the decision for you.
The other Windermere-specific factor is the approval process. With 93 registered HOA communities in the area, each with its own architectural review requirements, a roofer who does not know how to prepare and submit the right documentation adds weeks to a project or triggers a stop-work situation mid-job. We have navigated this process across Orange County for over two decades. When you call for an inspection, the HOA documentation conversation happens at the first visit, not after the estimate is signed.
GAF Master Elite and President's Club 3-Star certification means the manufacturer backs the installation at a level that standard certified contractors cannot offer. For a home in Windermere where the roof replacement is a significant investment and a long-term decision, the warranty behind the work matters as much as the work itself.
