If your home or condominium is showing signs of water damage, leaks, or structural problems, you may be facing roof construction defects in Orlando. Issues can arise years after a project is completed and may affect not only your property but also the safety and value of your investment. At Herman & Wells, we understand how overwhelming this situation can feel. You may be unsure whether the builder, contractor, or developer is responsible and might need guidance from an attorney to protect your rights.
Our experienced construction defect lawyers could evaluate your case, explain your options, and help you pursue a resolution. For homeowners and condominium associations, roof defects are not just cosmetic—they may result in costly repairs and significant disruption if left unresolved.
Problems with roof construction may arise from poor installation, the use of low-quality materials, or failure to comply with building codes. A defect may not be immediately apparent. Instead, it could take the form of leaks during storms, mold growth, or cracks in surrounding stucco. Determining whether the issue stems from defective work or normal wear and tear requires a careful review by both legal and expert professionals.
Unlike minor household fixes, roof defects often require extensive remediation. A compromised roof may require full replacement rather than patchwork repairs, and costs can escalate rapidly for luxury homes and condominiums. If your association is facing widespread roof issues, the financial burden may affect every resident.
In Orlando, under Florida Statutes § 95.11, you may have as little as four years from the completion of construction to bring a claim for a patent construction defect affecting your roof. Missing this deadline could prevent you from recovering damages (the financial award paid to you as compensation for your losses) from the negligent contractor, builder, or developer. Because the statute of limitations is strict, it is important to act as soon as you suspect roof issues may be linked to faulty work.
If you have roof structure problems in your Orlando home, an attorney from our firm may be able to offer assistance. We could help you by:

Orlando homeowners and condominium associations face unique risks. Heavy rains and strong winds often expose roof problems more quickly than in other areas. For large properties, what may start as a single leak can spread across multiple units, creating financial strain for entire communities. Taking early steps could help minimize long-term costs and protect both property value and safety.
