At Orchid Island Roofing, we believe that kind of protection starts with people you can trust. We listen. We communicate. We do what we say we’ll do.
Orchid Island Roofing was founded in 2005, with Doug Leman working on the roof himself. As the business grew, he hired employees and expanded operations to a location on Old Dixie Highway. Continued growth led to a move to Commerce Avenue, where additional team members were added. Ongoing referral-driven success ultimately required another expansion to the company’s current, larger facility on U.S. 1—all while maintaining a steadfast commitment to 100% customer satisfaction. The current leadership team have all been promoted from within, sharing their experience with the newest team members.

From new roofs and repairs to maintenance, we bring craftsmanship, honesty, and personal care to every project — no matter the size.
At Orchid Island Roofing, customer satisfaction comes first—we’re dedicated to exceeding expectations on every roof we install or repair.
Orchid Island Roofing recently completed the replacement of our tile roof in Vero Beach, Florida. The people at Orchid, ranging from marketing to sales to construction, were a pleasure to work with. The project was handled efficiently and professionally and completed on time. The result is beautiful. We are delighted.
I wish to thank the Orchid Island Roofing Team that chose to work on the roof of my home in Vero Beach, on the Saturday of Memorial Day Weekend. This action should speak louder than words for this motivated, customer service focused company.
We love our beautiful new roof! OIR was top-notch from start to finish. They keep you informed every step of the way—— communication is outstanding!!!
This was a top-notch job. It couldn’t have gone any better or smoother. The crew was professional and respectful. The job was completed on time and with extreme care for our property and safety. I highly recommend this company for any roofing work you need done. You can’t get a better job at any price.
Orchid Island Roofing exceeded our expectations. They have a professional team from start to finish, including sales, office staff and onsite installation team. They kept us aware of their progress and other issues that we needed to know about. They were very organized, performed their work efficiently and cleaned up each day. Further, in our case, secured the work area during the hurricane. We highly recommend their services and would contract with them again.
I have used Orchid Island several times over the years and have always been pleased with the quality and pricing their roof repairs. Andres was the lead roofer on our job and he was very thorough and professional. I highly recommend their services.
