Our A.O. Roofing team recently removed and installed a long-overdue roof at a Winter Haven home. The reason for the upgrade came from the insurance company requiring its replacement due to the roof’s age, prompting a new, long-lasting compliance solution.
Our Assessment and Material Selection
Before replacing the roof, the 3,800-square-foot architectural shingle system displayed signs of age-related wear. Although structurally intact, the fading, discoloration, and edge curling shingles showed it was time for a replacement.
Based on the assessment and the requirements to meet current housing standards, the best option was to use Atlas architectural shingles in the Weatherwood color. These shingles offer enhanced protection against environmental factors and contribute to the home’s longevity.
BEFORE
Watertight Barrier for Superior Protection
A critical component for the installation was the application of an Ice and Water shield underlayment. This self-adhering membrane provides a watertight barrier, protecting the roof deck from moisture seeping in due to wind-driven rain.
The removal and installation were quick and completed in a single day, minimizing any interruption to the homeowner. The new shingles improved the home’s look and curb appeal and comply with the insurance company’s current residential roofing requirements.
AFTER
Backed by a Warranty
The combination of Atlas architectural shingles and the Ice and Water shield underlayment enhances the home’s energy efficiency. The shingles’ reflective properties will reduce heat absorption, lowering cooling costs during Central Florida’s hot summers.
Additionally, the underlayment helps regulate any thermal issues by preventing moisture-related intrusion that will compromise the insulation. The roofing system is backed by a 15-year manufacturer’s warranty, providing the homeowner a better way to protect their home’s upgrade investment.
Beneficial Impact Is Now Evident
This project exemplifies the importance of selecting advanced roofing materials that meet insurance requirements and offer long-term energy efficiency and durability benefits. Our team’s professional expertise ensures a seamless transition away from an aging roofing system, strengthening the home’s protection for many years.
