The Christmas season is a time for family, celebrations, and making memories — not dealing with unexpected roof leaks or storm damage. At Vedder Roofing, we want Central Florida homeowners to enjoy the holidays with peace of mind, knowing their roof is ready to handle winter weather, holiday decorations, and seasonal storms. As a locally owned roofing company, we proudly serve homeowners throughout Lake County, Orange County, Marion County, Seminole County, and Sumter County, providing reliable roofing solutions built for Florida homes.
While Florida winters are milder than those in other parts of the country, December still brings unique roofing risks for communities across the region — from Mount Dora, Tavares, Eustis, and Clermont in Lake County, to Orlando, Winter Park, and Apopka in Orange County; Ocala and surrounding Marion County neighborhoods; Sanford, Lake Mary, Altamonte Springs, and Longwood in Seminole County; and growing areas like The Villages, Lady Lake, and Wildwood in Sumter County. Sudden rainstorms, gusty cold fronts, and seasonal debris can expose hidden roof issues just as families are gathering for the holidays.
Here’s what homeowners across Central Florida should know as Christmas approaches — and how proactive roof care can help prevent unexpected problems during the busiest time of year.
“Needed a repair estimate for a leak in our roof. Edward came out last minute to do an evaluation. He was extremely professional and informative. Told us the likely source of the leak and offered to do a sealant onsite to temporarily prevent further damage while the full repair estimate was worked up. The site was clean and seems to be working since it just rained without more issues to our ceiling. Will definitely be looking forward to working with them in the future for the full repair. Thank you again!”

Holiday weather in Central Florida often includes:
Sudden rainstorms
High winds from passing cold fronts
Cooler temperatures that reveal hidden roof issues
Small problems like loose shingles, minor leaks, or clogged gutters often go unnoticed until heavy rain exposes them — and December storms don’t take holidays off.
Scheduling a roof inspection before or during the Christmas season can help prevent emergency repairs and protect your home when guests are visiting.
If you plan to hang Christmas lights or decorations, make sure your roof is in good condition first. Walking on damaged shingles or compromised decking can cause further issues — and safety risks.
A professional inspection helps ensure your roof can handle the added activity without damage.
Falling leaves, pine needles, and holiday debris can clog gutters quickly in December. Blocked gutters can lead to:
Water backing up under shingles
Fascia and soffit damage
Interior leaks during heavy rain
Keeping gutters clear is one of the simplest ways to protect your roof during the holiday season.
Even without hurricanes, Central Florida winter storms can bring strong gusts that loosen shingles or flashing. These issues may not be obvious from the ground but can lead to leaks if left unaddressed.
If you notice shingles in your yard or hear flapping sounds, it’s time to call a local roofing professional.
A small leak during December rains can quickly turn into bigger damage if ignored through the holidays. Water intrusion can affect insulation, ceilings, and walls — especially when repairs are delayed due to holiday schedules.
Addressing leaks early saves money and stress.
