A homeowner in Winter Haven needed to replace their aging 5,700-square-foot roof due to updated protection and coverage requirements. They turned to our A.O. Roofing team for a solution to meet and exceed the insurance company’s newest standards.
Poor Sealant Repairs Uncovered
Along with the age of the roof and multiple shingle replacements across the surface, we discovered several areas of the roof where sealant or adhesives were used to repair or reseal it. Unfortunately, these temporary fixes had deteriorated over time, potentially allowing moisture to seep in and compromising the roof’s integrity.
BEFORE
Impact Resistant Materials Chosen
Based on our findings, the homeowner selected Atlas Pinnacle® Pristine architectural shingles in the Tan Mist. This choice was important because the color complements the home’s exterior and reflects sunlight, reducing heat absorption, which helps with energy efficiency.
These shingles are made to withstand rough weather, offering Class 3 impact resistance and a wind warranty up to 130 mph. Additionally, the shingles feature Scotchgard™ Protector, which helps prevent algae growth, maintaining the roof’s appearance over time.
Fortifying the Roof
To further strengthen the roofing system, an Ice and Water Shield underlayment was also selected for installation. This self-adhering membrane provides a secondary layer of protection against water infiltration, particularly in vulnerable areas such as eaves and valleys.
Forming a watertight seal helps prevent leaks caused by wind-driven rain, ensuring the longevity of the roof structure. This added layer of defense is especially valuable in Polk County’s unpredictable and storm-prone season.
AFTER
Project Timeline and Guarantee
Despite the roof’s substantial size of 5,700 square feet, our roofing team completed the installation in one day. This swift execution minimized disruption to the homeowner’s daily routine while ensuring a high-quality outcome.
Though we did not work with the insurance company, the new roofing system is backed by a 15-year manufacturer’s warranty. The homeowner benefits from a reinforced roofing solution integrating the newest upgraded materials to withstand Florida’s challenging weather conditions.
