Recently, our A.O. Roofing team completed a roof replacement at a home in Haines City. The existing 2,200-square-foot architectural shingle roof had aged beyond its expected lifespan, prompting the homeowner’s insurance company to recommend a full replacement. Seeking quick and long-lasting solutions, we assessed the situation, provided a timeline, and explained what the homeowner should expect.
Aging Roof Had Hidden Issues
The old roof revealed its age; the shingles were worn, curled, and uneven, with visible discoloration and damage around the ridges and edges. The ventilation components appeared outdated, and poor drainage likely caused minor leaks over time. The surface was brittle and no longer reliable.
A Needed Roof Decking Solution
During the replacement process, several sheets of compromised plywood decking were identified and replaced to ensure the roof’s structural integrity. Additionally, our team provided a wind mitigation report for the homeowner, which is beneficial for insurance purposes and may qualify the homeowner for premium discounts.
Morning Harvest Brightened This Home’s Appeal
The new roof now features Atlas Pinnacle® Pristine architectural shingles in the “Morning Harvest” color. These shingles are designed for durability and aesthetic appeal, offering a limited lifetime warranty and a 15-year wind warranty for gusts up to 130 mph. The addition of a 3M™ Scotchgard™ Protector helps prevent algae growth, maintaining the roof’s appearance over time.
Extra Protective Long-Term Solution
Beneath the shingles, a synthetic underlayment was installed to protect the roof’s surface. Synthetic underlayments are durable, water-resistant, and contribute to energy efficiency by providing an additional barrier against heat transfer. This combination of materials helps maintain indoor comfort and will lead to reduced energy costs.
The Best Part of Choosing High-Quality For Your Roof
This project demonstrates why our team always recommends selecting high-quality roofing materials and professional installation. The homeowner will have an energy-efficient roof that is both durable and aesthetically appealing, meeting the insurance company’s requirements. Additionally, the project was completed in one day, which also pleased the homeowner.
