Before our A.O. Roofing team visited the property, this Tampa homeowner had likely started noticing the usual red flags on their roof, like dark patches, mold on the eaves, and unexpected leaks. Then, the insurance company reached out, stating that due to its age, the roof needed replacing to remain insured. That’s when we were contacted.
Assessing the Roof’s Conditions
Typically, when we inspect a roof for physical damage, we can quickly and easily find the most impacted areas. However, when we removed the old architectural shingles and their sheeting from this aging home’s 2,200-square-foot roof, we uncovered heavy wear and moisture areas where water had soaked into the roof. If left unaddressed, these unseen vulnerabilities would have led to interior damage and mold growth.
DURING
Roofing Materials Chosen
Finding the hidden damage, we knew the roof’s older 3-tab design shingles could no longer protect this home. After showing the homeowner their roofing options, our team installed the Atlas architectural shingle system in Weather Wood color. That also included a synthetic ice and water shield underlayment, providing a strong secondary barrier. With this new material installed, weather resistance increases, and future resale value should the homeowner sell.
Quick Installation With Stronger Protection
Despite the size of the roof and its different pitches, our roofing team removed all the old materials and installed the new roofing protection in just one day. This new coverage now provides extended protection, strengthening this home’s defense against Florida’s unpredictable weather systems. It also minimizes future maintenance needs, improves insulation performance, and delivers lasting value with a clean, updated look that homeowners want.
AFTER
Beautiful Roof With Manufacturer’s Warranty
The 15-year manufacturing warranty underscores longevity, while the chosen architectural shingle system blends well with the home’s neighborhood. This Tampa project illustrates how modern roofing systems, combining new architectural shingles and synthetic underlayment, serve as new standards for longer-lasting and stronger roofing that complies with insurance requirements, as it did for this homeowner.
