When hurricane-force winds whipped through Lake Alfred, this roof’s shingles were torn and scattered, leaving it vulnerable. After the homeowner contacted our A.O. Roofing team, we removed the entire covering and installed a new roof built to handle Polk County’s unpredictable storm season in just one day.
This Roof Needed Replacing Due to Hidden Damage
Homeowners often consider patching damaged areas after a storm to be an optimal long-term protection option that is more affordable than a roof replacement. But as with many roofs, what they couldn’t see could end up causing more damage. After our aerial inspection completed a sweep of the roof, we quickly discovered widespread roof damage that had gone undetected and could not be seen from the ground.
What we uncovered was more than missing and broken shingles. We quickly discovered the roof’s underlayers were exposed to the elements, increasing the potential for future leaks, mold growth, and even structural issues. We recommended upgrading the worn-out 3-tab shingle roof to durable architectural shingles designed for longevity and storm-season weather conditions.
BEFORE
These Shingles Provided the Necessary Protection
After reviewing their options, the homeowner chose the Atlas Architectural Shingles in Oyster Shell. This product is known for its storm-tested durability and clean aesthetic. Compared to standard 3-tab shingles, architectural versions provide stronger wind resistance and material integrity.
Per our recommendation, a synthetic underlayment also was installed beneath the shingles, giving the roof a second layer of defense to help keep moisture out and reinforce the structure. These materials create a tightly sealed system capable of withstanding Florida’s harsh weather conditions, especially during hurricane season.
