KraftMaid Roofing: The Orlando Owner’s Guide
We carry KraftMaid-compatible roofing panels, flashing, and fasteners for Orlando homes, with most replacement jobs running $800 to $4,500 installed depending on the roof section, material type, and access. We stock common KraftMaid profile match parts on our trucks, so a lot of Orlando repair calls get handled in one visit. In most cases, you’ll find out a part has failed the same way every Orlando homeowner does: a water stain on the ceiling after an afternoon downpour, a raised shingle edge you spot from the driveway, or granules collecting in the gutter after a few good storms.
Which KraftMaid Models This Applies To
KraftMaid’s roofing line splits into two main profile families: the panel series (wider span, more common on Florida ranch-style homes and carports) and the shingle-compatible series designed to interlock with standard asphalt and metal transition pieces. The panel series uses a 36-inch width with a 1.5-inch rib height, while the shingle-compatible line runs narrower at 28 inches. If you’re trying to match an existing section, check the underside of a loose panel for a stamped code, usually two letters followed by four digits. That code tells us the profile, gauge, and coating spec. We also keep quality aftermarket equivalents on hand that match KraftMaid’s dimensions and color range at a lower price than OEM, and we’ll tell you honestly whether the OEM part is worth the extra cost for your situation. Penhallow Remodeling Orlando is an independent service provider, not affiliated with KraftMaid, so we’re free to recommend whichever option actually fits your roof and budget.

Signs Your KraftMaid Roofing Is Failing
- Granule loss in gutters or at downspout bases. Florida’s UV exposure breaks down the mineral coating on KraftMaid shingle-compatible panels faster than in northern climates, and those granules washing into your gutter are the first sign the surface is degrading. Once granule loss starts, the panel’s weather resistance drops quickly.
- Rusted or lifted panel edges near the eaves. Orlando’s humid summers and afternoon storms put constant moisture on roof edges, and KraftMaid panels with compromised edge coating will start to lift or show rust within 4-6 years of exposure. This is the most common failure point we see in College Park and Delaney Park bungalows.
- Leaks around penetrations (vents, pipes, skylights). The flashing detail is where most KraftMaid roofs fail in Central Florida, not the panel itself. Silicone sealant breaks down under Florida sun in about half the time manufacturers estimate, and once water gets past the flashing, it travels along the panel seams.
- Wavy or sagging sections visible from the ground. This usually means the underlayment or decking beneath the KraftMaid panels has absorbed moisture and is losing structural strength. You’re looking at more than a panel swap when this happens, and it’s worth getting checked before the next storm.
- Fastener pop-outs or loose screws in high-wind areas. KraftMaid panels secured with standard fasteners will work loose after repeated wind cycles, especially on roofs facing the prevailing patterns. We use upgraded washer screws on replacement work to prevent recurrence.

AfterReplacement Cost & What’s Included
For Orlando homeowners, KraftMaid roofing repair and replacement typically runs:
- Small repair (single panel or flashing section): $400 – $1,800
- Partial roof section replacement (100 – 300 sq ft): $2,000 – $4,500
- Full roof replacement with KraftMaid-compatible materials: $8,000 – $20,000
What drives the price: roof pitch and access, the condition of the underlayment beneath the panels, whether we’re matching an existing color or replacing full sections, and whether the decking needs repairs. Every estimate includes parts, labor, disposal of old materials, and a written line-item price before any work starts. The number on the estimate is the number on the invoice. We back every repair with our 365-Day Done Right Promise: if the fix fails inside a year, we come back and make it right at no charge, in writing.
DIY or Call Us?
There are a few things an Orlando homeowner can safely check themselves: clear debris from roof valleys, inspect gutters for granule buildup, and look for obvious lifted edges or missing fasteners from ground level with binoculars. What we’d caution against is getting on a wet or steep roof with a caulk gun, especially after an afternoon storm has rolled through. Roof work is inherently risky, and KraftMaid panel seams and flashing details are less forgiving than they look from a ladder. If the section is bigger than a single panel or anywhere near a penetration point, call us at (850) 427-6454 and we’ll send someone out to assess it. The estimate is free, and it comes with a written number, not a ballpark.
FAQs
In Orlando’s heat, humidity, and storm cycles, you can expect 15 – 20 years from KraftMaid-compatible roofing materials, though edge flashing often needs attention around the 8 – 12 year mark. Florida’s UV index chews through coatings faster than the national average, so we recommend an annual post-storm inspection. Call us for a free look at or around the roof before the next season arrives.
Yes, if the damage is limited to a single panel or a flashing joint, we can usually patch or re-secure it without replacing surrounding materials. The exception is when rust or granule loss has spread across adjacent panels or the underlayment is compromised. We’ll show you exactly what’s failing and give you a written price for either option at no charge.
Most small repairs and single-panel replacements are done in one day, and we arrive in the window we give you, not a four-hour range. Larger section replacements of 100 square feet or more typically take two to three days depending on weather and decking condition. We’ll tell you the timeline before work starts, in writing.
We keep common KraftMaid profile-match panels, flashing, and upgraded fasteners on our trucks, and we can source less common colors and profiles within a few days through our Orlando suppliers. If you’re not sure what you have, send us a photo of the code stamp on a loose panel or the roof section in question. We’ll identify it and give you a written estimate before anyone climbs a ladder.
If your KraftMaid roof is showing any of the signs above, call (850) 427-6454 for a free estimate. Trevor and the crew at Penhallow Remodeling Orlando will give you the number first, then pick up the tool.
