Over the last two decades, Polk County has suffered through 29 hurricane-related disasters. Currently, our natural disaster rate sits at 54% and continues climbing. Unfortunately, a Winter Haven homeowner recently experienced extensive roof damage and requested our A.O. Roofing team provide a hurricane-resistant solution.
The Aerial Inspection Revealed What We Had Expected
This 2,000-square-foot home had a traditional 3-tab shingle roof. After inspecting it, there was significant damage from the hurricane, leaving shingles missing and their home exposed. What we uncovered required upgrading to dual gray IKO architectural shingles, which added thickness, enhanced durability, and wind resistance.
BEFORE
Synthetic Underlayment: The Hidden Hero
Beneath the new shingles, our team installed a synthetic underlayment component to maximize the roof’s protection. Unlike traditional felt, this material offers superior moisture resistance and tearing strength. This next-level material is a powerful barrier against water leakage, preventing seepage and water damage during stormy weather.
Efficient Installation with Long-Term Protection
Time was of the essence for this roof replacement. The entire project was completed in just one day, showcasing the optimal efficiency of modern roofing practices without sacrificing quality. The homeowner’s new roof also received a 10-year manufacturer warranty, providing long-term safe protection.
AFTER
Seamless Insurance Collaboration for Stress-Free Service
Managing hurricane damage can feel daunting, but this project ran seamlessly due to the strong partnership between the homeowner and our A.O. Roofing team regarding the insurance claim. That collaboration streamlined every step, from assessment to completion, allowing the homeowner to focus on recovering with peace of mind.
Why Advanced Roofing Materials Matter
Switching from standard 3-tab to architectural shingles paired with synthetic underlayment strengthens a roof’s durability and energy efficiency. Whether dealing with storm damage or simply looking to upgrade, investing in next-level roofing materials like IKO Architectural Shingles offers unmatched protection for years to come. As a homeowner in a hurricane region, do you want to go through another season hoping your roof will stay intact?
