Our A.O. Roofing team stepped in to help another homeowner in Lake Wales who had suffered significant hurricane wind damage to their home. Their 2,200-square-foot roof lost shingles and developed structural issues, leaving them uncertain about the next steps.
Hurricane Damage and Insurance Requirements
The homeowner’s roof experienced significant loss and damage, and their insurance coverage required a complete replacement. Working closely with the homeowner and the insurance company, we replaced the roof to restore protection and durability.
On the positive side, this project allowed the homeowner to upgrade to stronger, more durable materials that would endure future severe weather conditions. Instead of a standard replacement, the homeowner opted for a high-performance roofing system, which ensured stronger protection and longevity.
BEFORE
Did the Homeowner Benefit Selecting These Shingles?
The previous 3-tab shingle roof was upgraded to Atlas Architectural Shingles in Hearthstone, chosen for its high wind resistance, durability, and aesthetic appeal. Unlike traditional 3-tab shingles, these provide longer-lasting performance and better protection against severe storm conditions.
An Ice and Water Shield underlayment was installed to enhance durability and improve storm resistance and longevity. It creates an additional moisture barrier that prevents leaks, strengthens the roof’s structure, and helps maintain indoor comfort.
One-Day Installation for Immediate Protection
Despite the extensive damage and size of the project, the roof was replaced entirely in just one day, minimizing any interruption for the homeowner. With a 15-year manufacturer’s warranty, this roofing system is built to last, providing a secure, long-term solution.
AFTER
Built to Withstand Florida’s Toughest Weather
This project emphasizes the significance of choosing advanced materials for residential roofing solutions. This homeowner has a more robust, storm-resistant roof that satisfies insurance requirements and contemporary performance standards by upgrading to Atlas Architectural Shingles and Ice and Water Shield underlayment.
For homeowners considering a roof replacement, investing in innovative materials is essential for long-term protection, less maintenance, and peace of mind.
