Florida’s hurricane winds don’t ask for permission—they take. Shingles? Underlayment? Peace of mind? Gone. That’s precisely what happened to this 4,700-square-foot roof in Winter Haven that our A.O. Roofing team was contacted about replacing.
Inspecting the roof, we knew patching it wasn’t the best option; it needed a permanent solution to withstand future storms. When the homeowner contacted us, they were pleased to discover we would work with them and their insurance company to replace the roof.
When the Roof Is Damaged, Everything Is Compromised
Homeowners often underestimate the damage an aging roof or a few missing shingles can cause. It’s not just about curb appeal; moisture creeps in, insulation breaks down, and a domino effect of hidden damage develops above them.
Florida humidity doesn’t play nice. It finds every weakness and exploits it. Our inspection showed that this roof was beyond repair and needed upgrading. In this instance, we could not cut corners, no temporary fixes, just a complete overhaul, built for strength and longevity.
BEFORE
The Homeowner Did Not Want Basic Shingles
Some property owners often choose a low-cost option, take whatever shingles match, and move on. Not this homeowner. They chose Atlas Architectural Shingles in Tan Mist, designed for high-wind resistance, durability, and energy performance.
We also installed a synthetic underlayment beneath the shingles, a crucial layer that prevents moisture, heat, and leaks seeping into the home.
Fast, Efficient Installation with Lasting Benefits
Despite the project’s large size, we completed the installation in just one day to minimize any inconvenience to the homeowner. The customer now has a roof that’s a high-performance protection system designed to withstand Polk County’s extreme hurricane seasons while enhancing the home’s appearance and value.
