When our A.O. Roofing team was called in for a home in Winter Haven, the homeowner was worried about their roof and wanted it replaced. They had an aging, wind-damaged roof that had gaps and small leaks, and storm season was right around the corner.
Why This Roof Needed Immediate Help
Their 8,600-square-foot architectural shingle roof showed its significant age. It had sections blown off by wind, granule loss, minor leaks, and fraying edges, which meant the roof’s defenses were compromised. Each passing storm became a mental burden, with sleepless nights worrying about water damage, mold, and rising repair costs.
BEFORE
When Small Leaks Become Big Problems
Imagine waking up to dripping ceilings, musty smells, or soggy insulation. Small leaks can spiral into extensive rot, poor indoor air quality, or even structural damage to walls and framing. Every drop of rain becomes a threat, turning a simple rainstorm into a potential disaster. And repair after repair adds up quickly. The homeowner did not want to live in fear of what the next storm might do.
Installing a System That Holds Up Strong
Our roofing team replaced the compromised shingles with new Atlas architectural shingles in classic Weather Wood. They are elegant, sturdy, and backed by a 15-year manufacturer’s warranty. These shingles offer stronger wind resistance and algae protection, ensuring a long-lasting appearance. Beneath them, an Ice and Water shield synthetic underlayment was layered to seal against wind-driven rain and moisture intrusion.
AFTER
A Strong Roof and a Positive Future
In just two days, the full installation was complete, eliminating leaks and restoring the homeowner’s confidence. They now enjoy a resilient roofing system designed to stand up to Florida’s harsh weather. The combined strength of Atlas Shingles and fortified underlayment prevents storm-driven water from entering the structure, improves thermal stability, and supports future energy efficiency. With year-round protection and zero leaks, they have true peace of mind, not just for the next storm, but for years to come.
