Roof Replacements
We partner with local governments to provide roof replacements at no cost to qualified homeowners. Our FREE services could help you enhance your home’s safety.
Let us replace your roof for free!
Habitat Orlando & Osceola’s goal is not only to build new affordable housing, but to help Central Floridians who already own their homes keep them safe, secure and affordable. One of the ways we do this is through our Roof Replacement Program funded by the Orange County Government.
Due to an overwhelming response, we are not currently accepting applications for free roof replacements.
