From the Tip Top Roofing Blog
For over 50 years, Tip Top Roofing has protected Central Florida homes — three generations, one family, and a reputation built one honest roof at a time.


Longevity in roofing doesn't happen by accident. It's earned one roof, one handshake, and one satisfied neighbor at a time. Tip Top Roofing Company has been doing exactly that across Central Florida since 1972 — and the story behind those five decades is the best reason we can give you to trust us with the roof over your head.
We started roofing Central Florida in 1972, and three generations of the same family have carried the company forward ever since. Today we're led by president Lee Wallace, who spent nearly thirty years mastering every part of the trade before taking the helm from his father. That continuity matters: the values we started with — honesty, quality, and treating customers like neighbors — haven't been watered down by turnover or absentee ownership. As Lee puts it, "You're paying for the roof, but we still own it."
We've never been the loudest roofer in the market, and we've never needed to be. Roughly 95% of our work comes from referrals and repeat customers — neighbors telling neighbors. In a trade with no shortage of fly-by-night operators, that's the reputation we're proudest of, and it's the same trust that made us a Nextdoor Neighborhood Fave across Central Florida communities.
In 2025, the community voted Tip Top Central Florida's Favorite Roofer in the Orlando Sentinel Readers' Choice awards. We didn't win it with a big ad budget — we earned it with five decades of roofs done right across Orange, Seminole, Volusia, Osceola, Lake, and Brevard counties.

Some things can't be rushed. The credentials we hold are the kind a brand-new company simply can't have yet:
Fifty-plus years means we've roofed through every kind of Florida weather and seen every kind of roofing problem. That experience shows up in the work itself: accurate diagnosis, code-correct installation, and an honest read on what your roof actually needs. When the next storm tests your roof, that experience is what you're standing under. If you want to understand your options first, our roof types guide is a good place to start.
The roofing business has changed a lot since 1972, but our promise hasn't: do honest work, stand behind it, and treat every customer like we'll see them at the grocery store next week — because we probably will. That's how a company stays in business for half a century, and how we plan to earn the next fifty years of Central Florida's trust.
