Last year’s parade of hurricanes took a heavy toll on many buildings throughout Central Florida, including a local funeral in Auburndale that suffered significant roof damage. Understanding the critical nature of the building’s operations, our A.O. Roofing team delivered a durable solution in two days.
The damage required a complete replacement of their 135,000-square-foot roof. It was a commercial-scale overhaul requiring precision, speed, and materials built to last. Our team completed the installation, and the customers received a 15-year manufacturer warranty.
Why Was a Replacement Needed?
In Florida, hurricanes leave lasting impacts on enormous commercial structures, like what happened to this funeral home. Missing shingles and wind damage had compromised the roof’s interior and exterior integrity, making a complete replacement the client’s best option.
If left it unchecked, the unseen damage we found would have opened the business up to the possibility of more extensive problems down the road. Rather than quick patchwork, the funeral home agreed with our recommendations for a complete replacement.
BEFORE
What Were the Best Shingles for This Roof?
Choosing the right materials for this large structure was crucial for our client. We decided to use Atlas Architectural Shingles because of their superior wind resistance, longevity, and sleek, professional appearance.
Next, our roofing team installed a synthetic underlayment to help prevent leaks and create an additional moisture barrier. By selecting the Dual Black color, the funeral home’s curb appeal remains intact. The underlayment also contributes to heat absorption, which helps reduce wear.
135,000 Square Feet Completed in Just Two Days
Wrapping up such an extensive project in two days is a testament to the A.O. Roofing team’s high-level skills and expertise. Each worked tirelessly to implement our strategic planning, high-quality materials, and advanced installation techniques to reduce any interruptions to the funeral home.
AFTER
Roofing Comfort and Peace of Mind
This funeral home is essential, and without it, the community suffers. By restoring the building it now has a long-lasting roof to withstand Florida’s extreme weather conditions, and the entire staff can move forward peacefully. We appreciate them trusting us with such an important job, and we can’t wait to serve them again if the need arises.
