When your home’s roof reaches the end of its lifespan, there’s no room to wait, especially when insurance companies start pulling coverage. That’s what led a Lake Wales homeowner to contact our A.O. Roofing team. Their 2,800-square-foot roof, though still intact, had aged considerably, and the insurance company required it to be replaced.
Aging Roof Had to Go
Older roofs will compromise a home’s overall protection even without visible damage. Most insurance providers require replacements once a roof reaches a certain age, often between 15 and 20 years, to reduce liability risks. This Lake Wales roof had simply outlived its coverage window, prompting the homeowner to act quickly before any problems could surface.
Rather than wait for the next storm to expose more structural weaknesses, the homeowner moved forward with a complete replacement and a Fresh Wind Mitigation report provided by our head office for additional insurance-documented proof.
BEFORE
Heavy-Duty Shingles for Stormy Florida Skies
To ensure this home had a secure roof that could withstand Florida’s stormy climate season, our team installed Atlas Architectural Shingles in Hearthstone. These shingles are designed for impact resistance, longevity, and enhanced curb appeal.
Underneath, we installed Atlas WeatherMaster Ice & Water Shield underlayment, a high-performance moisture barrier that seals tightly around nails, resists UV degradation, and withstands temperature extremes. These layers create a roofing system engineered to reduce long-term maintenance and energy loss.
Completed in Just One Day
Despite the project’s scope, our A.O. Roofing team completed the entire roof replacement in just one day, thanks to expert planning and an efficient crew. They strive for a standard of minimizing homeowner disruption while maximizing results on every job.

Prepared for the Future
Now backed by a 15-year manufacturer warranty and protected by top-tier roofing components, this Lake Wales home is ready for the seasons ahead. From insurance compliance to long-term performance, this new roof checks every box for safety, sustainability, and peace of mind.
