A complete residential tile roof overhaul executed in Wellington, FL 33449. Tailored to withstand Palm Beach County’s severe weather patterns, intense UV rays, and high wind uplift forces, this project replaced a failing assembly with a premium, storm-rated tile system that elevates the property's architectural aesthetic while offering decades of reliable protection.
The Challenge
Where the roof started
The previous roofing system on this Wellington home had reached the end of its functional life, suffering from cracked tiles and brittle underlayment that threatened structural water leaks during seasonal rainstorms.
Aging underlayment beneath the old tiles had lost its waterproofing seal, risking rot to the roof deck
Strict Palm Beach County high-wind codes required complete deck re-nailing and high-performance adhesives
Intricate roof slopes and valley cuts called for custom metalwork to ensure seamless water shedding
Scope Of Work
What we did
Strip off old roofing materials down to the structural roof deck
Inspect wood decking, replacing compromised plyboard and re-fastening to high-wind code
Apply a continuous layer of high-temperature, self-adhered waterproof underlayment membrane
Install custom-bent metal drip edges, valley pans, step flashings, and wall aprons
Set and secure storm-tested roof tiles using high-bond structural adhesive foam
Professional-grade tile adhesive foam system engineered for hurricane wind uplift
Corrosion-resistant metal valley, perimeter drip, and transition flashing components

Project FAQ
Questions about this project
Why choose a tile roof for a residence in Wellington, FL?
Tile roofs offer exceptional resistance to heavy rains, high heat, and rot while providing a high-end, timeless aesthetic that significantly enhances home value in South Florida.
How does adhesive tile installation hold up during a hurricane?
Using high-density tile foam adhesive creates a superior bond compared to standard nails, effectively locking each tile to the deck and distributing wind uplift forces evenly across the entire roof structure.
How long does a tile roof underlayment last?
While tiles themselves can last 50+ years, the secondary waterproof underlayment typically needs replacement every 20 to 30 years depending on material grade and sun exposure.
