Project Overview

A comprehensive residential tile roof restoration completed in Wellington, FL 33449. Tailored specifically for Palm Beach County’s climate, this installation replaced an exhausted tile system with a high-capacity, storm-hardened tile assembly engineered to withstand severe squalls, persistent ambient moisture, and intense thermal cycling.

The Challenge

Where the roof started

The home’s existing tile system was suffering from widespread underlayment failure. Broken tiles and degraded secondary barriers had left the structure susceptible to hidden water damage during heavy afternoon downpours.

Compromised underlayment beneath broken tiles allowed moisture penetration into the roof deck

High wind uplift requirements necessitated complete structural deck re-fastening and upgraded adhesive systems

Complex pitch changes and valley intersections required hand-cut tile fitting and custom-fabricated metal flashings

Scope Of Work

What we did

Strip the roof structure clear down to the underlying wood deck platform

Evaluate plyboard integrity, replacing rotted sheets and re-securing decking to current Palm Beach County hurricane specs

Apply a complete, self-sealing high-temp modified bitumen underlayment membrane over the deck

Fabricate and fit custom perimeter metal drip flashing, valley pans, step flashings, and sidewall aprons

Mount Florida-approved roof tiles using high-yield polyurethane foam adhesive for maximum wind resistance

Materials & System

What was installed

Florida-rated concrete roof tiles with high-wind resistance profile

Self-adhering high-temperature modified-bitumen secondary water barrier

Hurricane-rated two-component tile adhesive foam system

Corrosion-resistant metal valley, wall, and perimeter flashing components

The Result

A classic South Florida tile roof built for extreme storm endurance

This Wellington property is now sheltered by a beautiful, energy-efficient tile roof that seamlessly blends architectural elegance with an impenetrable, multi-layer waterproof defense built for coastal weather.

Project FAQ

Questions about this project

Why is underlayment selection critical for Wellington tile roofs?

While tiles shed the majority of rainfall, the underlayment acts as the primary waterproof seal against wind-driven rain. Using a premium self-adhered membrane guarantees long-term leak protection.

Are tile roofs energy efficient in South Florida?

Yes. The natural air gap beneath installed roof tiles creates a thermal barrier that reduces heat transfer into the attic, helping maintain lower indoor cooling costs.

What is the wind uplift rating for tile foam adhesive?

Tile adhesive foam is engineered and tested to satisfy High-Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ) standards, capable of resisting wind speeds exceeding 150+ mph when installed to code.
