Sanford roofing,
from the Celery City’s past to now.

Henry Shelton Sanford laid out the city on the south shore of Lake Monroe in 1870, and Sanford was incorporated in 1877. After the freeze of 1894–95 wiped out citrus, farmers turned to celery, earning the “Celery City” nickname. Today the Riverwalk runs along Lake Monroe, First Street and Sanford Avenue anchor a restored downtown, and Orlando Sanford International Airport and the Central Florida Zoo are close by.

Sanford has one of the region’s largest collections of historic homes. The Sanford Residential Historic District alone, listed on the National Register in 1989, includes 432 historic buildings under old live oaks. In the city’s local historic districts, any exterior work, including repairs, needs a Certificate of Appropriateness before it begins.

Hi Low is a Florida certified roofing contractor (CCC1332547) and certified general contractor (CGC1529815). We pull permits through the City of Sanford or Seminole County and install shingle, tile, metal and flat roofing, plus solar and battery storage.

Around Sanford

Local knowledge,
roof by roof.

Sanford is about 45 minutes from our office via SR 429, SR 414 and I-4, or SR 417 from the south.

Lake Monroe and the St. Johns River

Sanford sits at the head of navigation on the St. Johns River. Homes near Lake Monroe get wind off open water, so edges, ridges and fastening matter more.

Historic districts and COAs

In the Downtown Commercial, Sanford Avenue and Sanford Residential historic districts, the city requires a Certificate of Appropriateness for exterior work, including repairs. We document the existing roof and provide what the Historic Preservation Board needs.

Old oaks, old houses

Live oaks shade much of historic Sanford. Debris, moss and aging board decking are common; we replace damaged boards during tear-off and flash porches and dormers properly.

Central Florida is inland, but hurricanes still get here. Ian in 2022 and Milton in 2024 both brought damaging wind and flooding rain to the area. Have your roof checked before June 1 and again after any major storm, and keep your inspection photos for your insurer.
