Windermere is an affluent community in western Orange County, situated along the Butler Chain of Lakes — a series of 13 interconnected lakes stretching from Lake Butler in the north to Lake Sheen in the south. The area is home to some of Central Florida's most prestigious gated communities, including Isleworth (home to PGA Tour professionals and executives), Keene's Pointe, Lake Butler Sound, Windermere Downs, Lakes of Windermere, and Tilden's Grove. Most Windermere homes feature Mediterranean, Spanish Colonial, or contemporary architectural styles with concrete tile or clay tile roofing, making tile re-underlay one of the most common roofing projects in the area.
Tile re-underlay is a critical maintenance procedure for Windermere homes built in the 1990s and early 2000s. Concrete tile installed during that era often remains structurally sound, but the felt underlayment beneath it has reached or exceeded its 25–30 year service life. Re-underlay preserves the existing HOA-approved tile profile and color while replacing the waterproof membrane — at a fraction of the cost of full tile replacement. Hytz Roofing is experienced with the specific tile profiles used in Windermere's major communities and can source matching replacement tiles for any broken or damaged pieces discovered during the process.
All roofing work in Windermere requires a permit pulled through Orange County Building Division via the OC FastTrack online portal. The Orange County Building Division is located at 201 S. Rosalind Ave., Orlando, FL 32801 (phone: 407-836-5550). Permit fees typically run $350–$800 depending on project valuation. Orange County requires at minimum a dry-in inspection and a final inspection. Hytz Roofing handles all permit applications and inspection scheduling under our license. Windermere's wind design speed is 130 mph, requiring Florida Product Approval (FL#) rated materials.
Isleworth and Keene's Pointe both require Architectural Review Committee (ARC) approval before any exterior material change, including roofing. Hytz Roofing prepares the full ARC submission package — manufacturer spec sheets, color boards, product data, and wind uplift documentation — and coordinates the review timeline so it does not delay your project start. Most Windermere HOA reviews resolve in one to three weeks. Windermere homeowners may also qualify for the My Safe Florida Home (MSFH) grant program, which provides up to $10,000 in matching funds for qualifying wind mitigation improvements.

Most Windermere HOA reviews resolve in one to three weeks.
- What is tile re-underlay and does my Windermere home need it?
- Tile re-underlay preserves your existing HOA-approved tile profile and color while replacing the waterproof membrane beneath it. Concrete tile installed in the 1990s often remains structurally sound, but the felt underlayment is at or past its 25–30 year service life. It is a fraction of the cost of full tile replacement and is one of the most common projects we complete in Windermere.
- How do I file a storm damage insurance claim in Orange County?
- Document the date of loss tied to a specific storm event, then schedule a professional inspection with Hytz. We provide drone photography for steep-slope and complex hip roofs common in Windermere. Under Florida law, homeowners have a limited window to file a windstorm or hurricane damage claim — contact Hytz before contacting your insurance provider.
- What permits are required for roof replacement in Windermere?
- Every roof replacement in Windermere requires a permit pulled through Orange County Building Division via the OC FastTrack online portal (201 S. Rosalind Ave., Orlando, FL 32801 — 407-836-5550). Permit fees typically run $350–$800 depending on project valuation. Orange County requires at minimum a dry-in inspection and a final inspection. Hytz handles all permit applications and inspection scheduling under our license.
- Does Hytz serve Isleworth, Keene's Pointe, and Lake Butler Sound?
- Yes. Hytz provides free inspections and full roofing services throughout Windermere, Isleworth, Keene's Pointe, Lake Butler Sound, Windermere Downs, Lakes of Windermere, Tilden's Grove, and surrounding Orange County communities.
- Do I need a roof inspection before skylight installation in Windermere?
- An inspection helps determine whether the roof slope, existing material, proposed opening, and drainage path can be detailed together before skylight installation in Windermere. For Windermere homes, the existing tile layout, roof design, and any community design requirements should be considered together.
- Can a leaking skylight be repaired in Windermere?
- A leaking skylight may be repairable when the issue is limited to a perimeter seal, flashing detail, or a localized roofing condition. An inspection of the skylight and the adjoining roof helps determine whether a focused repair or replacement is the appropriate next step for a Windermere home.
- How do you find the source of a skylight leak in Windermere?
- The inspection should consider visible staining, the skylight frame and glazing, curb or flashing transitions, and the surrounding roof surface. Looking at the complete area is important because a leak near a skylight can originate from the roof detail beside it rather than the glass alone.
- When should a skylight be replaced instead of repaired in Windermere?
- Replacement may be worth considering when the skylight itself has deteriorated, repeated repairs have not addressed the condition, or the surrounding roof work makes a coordinated replacement practical. The best option depends on the observed condition of the unit, flashing, and nearby roofing.
Skylight Installation & Repair in Windermere
Skylight installation in Windermere calls for careful coordination between the new unit, roof tile, flashing details, and the home's overall roof design. We review the layout and existing materials before recommending an installation approach.
When a skylight shows signs of water intrusion, the cause can be at the glass, perimeter seals, metal flashing, or nearby roof material. Our inspection provides a clear basis for selecting repair work or a replacement.
