When it's time for a new roof, the shingles you choose and the company you trust to install them make all the difference. At Don Schmidt Roofing, we've been installing asphalt shingles across St. Cloud, Kissimmee, Celebration, and Osceola County since 1988. That's nearly 40 years of watching how Florida's heat, humidity, and storms test every roof we put on. Our Owens Corning Preferred Contractor status means we have access to the best materials and deliver installations that meet manufacturer standards for the full warranty to apply.
Why Asphalt Shingles Are Still the Most Popular Choice in Central Florida
Asphalt shingles remain the most widely installed roofing material in Florida for good reason. They offer the best balance of cost, durability, and aesthetics for most residential homes. In our decades of roofing work across Osceola County, we've found that the right shingle product - not just any shingle - is what separates a roof that lasts 15 years from one that protects your home for 25 or more.
What We Install and Why It Matters in Florida
We install architectural (dimensional) and impact-resistant shingles rated for Florida's specific weather demands. Standard 3-tab shingles are rarely the right call in our climate. Here's what we recommend for most St. Cloud homeowners:
Owens Corning Duration Shingles: SureNail Technology for superior wind resistance, Class 4 impact rating available, backed by a lifetime limited warranty
Owens Corning TruDefinition Duration: Enhanced color saturation, same storm resistance, ideal for curb appeal in Celebration, Harmony, and Poinciana
Impact-Resistant Options: Class 4 shingles can qualify your home for insurance premium discounts in Florida - ask us about this when we do your estimate
Synthetic Underlayment: We use premium synthetic underlayment over felt for better moisture protection during installation and long-term performance
What Does It Cost to Replace Asphalt Shingles in St. Cloud, FL?
Most homeowners in St. Cloud and surrounding Osceola County pay between $8,000 and $20,000 for a full asphalt shingle replacement. Several factors affect your final cost:
Roof size and pitch: Steeper pitches require more labor and safety equipment
Number of layers to tear off: Osceola County building code limits stacked layers
Decking condition: Damaged or soft decking must be replaced before shingles go down
Shingle grade: Architectural vs. impact-resistant vs. designer profiles
Accessories: Ridge vents, hip and ridge cap shingles, drip edge, and flashing all add to material cost
