Not long ago, the roof of a 4,800-square-foot Winter Haven home sustained significant shingle loss, leaving it vulnerable to leaks and decking deterioration caused by hurricane damage. The homeowners contacted the A.O. Roofing team about providing the best roofing solution and requested that we work closely with the insurance company.
Here’s What Our Roof Inspection Uncovered
We informed the homeowner about the ripped shingles at the roof’s peak, and sections of the roofline where water could quickly begin seeping in, and the structural issues it would cause if not addressed before hurricane season.
Due to the extensive damage we uncovered, the best option was to replace the entire roof. Rather than relying on temporary repairs, the homeowner agreed and invested in a high-performance roofing system with insurance approval.
BEFORE
Our Team Recommended This Solution
When we inspect a home’s roof, we can determine which roofing materials will best withstand devastating storms. In this instance, we installed Atlas Architectural Shingles in Oyster Shell, which gives it superior wind resistance, long-lasting performance, and aesthetic appeal.
Furthermore, Ice and Water Shield underlayment was installed beneath the shingles to enhance protection. It creates an additional moisture barrier that prevents leaks and improves durability for the roof’s Ridge, Hip, Valley, Gable, and Dormer sections.
Enhancing Ventilation with a Solar Attic Fan
Our commitment to customer satisfaction includes recommending features to ease decking issues that are not commonly recommended. We knew this home needed an Attic Breeze solar attic fan, which helps reduce heat buildup to the base layer of plywood during summer. That approach ensures this homeowner has a strong roof and a comfortable living space.
AFTER
A One-Day Roofing Deadline
In just one day, our team replaced the roof, installed an Ice and Water Shield underlayment for moisture protection, added an Attic Breeze solar attic fan, and improved ventilation. This swift and efficient process with the homeowner’s insurance company, backed by a 15-year manufacturer warranty, demonstrates our quick turnaround.
