Project Overview

A complete residential shingle roof replacement executed in Hollywood, FL 33024. Engineered to satisfy Broward County’s stringent high-wind uplift standards, this project upgraded an aging asphalt roof to a high-performance dimensional shingle assembly built to endure tropical force wind gusts, torrential downpours, and intense daily heat exposure.

The Challenge

Where the roof started

The original shingle system on this residence was showing advanced signs of material breakdown, including heavy mineral granule loss, curling edges, and compromised flashings that threatened moisture intrusion during heavy summer downpours.

Aged shingles were losing their protective granule coating, exposing the raw fiberglass matting to rapid UV degradation

Local high-velocity wind codes mandated full structural re-fastening of the wooden deck prior to installing new underlayment

Trapped attic heat was putting excessive load on the home's cooling system and accelerating roof material aging

Scope Of Work

What we did

Perform a clean tear-off of all existing roofing layers clear down to the structural plywood decking

Inspect the deck platform, replace compromised wood panels, and re-fasten the deck to meet current Florida High-Wind Building Code

Roll out a continuous layer of high-tenacity synthetic secondary underlayment reinforced with self-adhered ice & water barrier in all valley troughs

Custom-fabricate and install perimeter metal drip edges, starter shingle courses set in sealant, and boot seals on roof pipe vents

Precision-lay Florida-approved architectural shingles using an enhanced 6-nail high-wind attachment pattern

Materials & System

What was installed

Florida Building Code-certified architectural fiberglass asphalt shingles with StreakGuard™ algae defense

High-performance tear-resistant synthetic secondary water barrier membrane

Self-adhered modified-bitumen leak barrier for valley troughs and slope intersections

Heavy-duty perimeter metal flashing, starter courses, and low-profile ridge vent caps

The Result

A storm-resilient shingle roof offering fresh style and long-term leak protection

This Hollywood property now features an airtight, multi-layered architectural shingle system that dramatically enhances exterior curb appeal, lowers attic heat accumulation, and delivers complete structural peace of mind through South Florida's severe weather seasons.

Project FAQ

Questions about this project

Are architectural shingles rated for severe windstorms in Hollywood, FL?

Yes. When installed with Florida Building Code-approved starter courses, synthetic underlayment, and an enhanced 6-nail attachment schedule, architectural shingles carry wind resistance warranties up to 130 mph.

Why is synthetic underlayment superior to standard felt paper?

Synthetic underlayment is tear-proof, non-absorbent, and vastly stronger than organic felt, providing a far more durable secondary waterproof seal over your roof deck.

How does proper attic ridge ventilation improve home energy efficiency?

Continuous ridge venting allows rising hot air to escape from the attic, lowering internal roof temperatures and reducing stress on your home's air conditioning system during hot summer months.
