Project Overview

A complete residential shingle roof replacement executed on Lone Pine Road in Delray Beach, FL 33445. Engineered to meet Palm Beach County’s strict high-wind uplift regulations, this installation upgraded an aging asphalt roof to a durable dimensional shingle assembly designed to withstand severe tropical squalls, heavy rainfall, and intense daily heat exposure.

The Challenge

Where the roof started

The previous roofing system was showing advanced signs of weathering, including severe mineral granule loss, curling shingle tabs, and failing flashings that posed serious leak risks during heavy downpours.

Weathered surface shingles had lost their protective layer, exposing the inner fiberglass mat to rapid UV degradation

Palm Beach County high-wind codes mandated full structural re-fastening of the plywood deck prior to installing new materials

Inadequate attic ventilation was trapping heat, increasing home cooling loads, and accelerating roof material aging

Scope Of Work

What we did

Perform a full tear-off of old asphalt shingle layers clear down to the structural plywood decking

Inspect the wood deck, replace water-damaged plywood panels, and re-anchor sheathing to modern high-wind code standards

Roll out a continuous layer of high-performance synthetic underlayment paired with self-adhering leak barrier in all valleys

Install heavy-gauge perimeter metal drip edges, starter shingle courses bedded in sealant, and pipe flashing collars

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

Materials & System

What was installed

Florida Building Code-certified dimensional architectural 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 continuous ridge vent channels

The Result

A storm-resilient shingle roof offering clean aesthetic lines and energy efficiency

This Delray Beach residence now features an airtight, multi-layered architectural shingle envelope that substantially elevates curb appeal, lowers attic heat accumulation, and delivers robust, long-term climate resilience.

Project FAQ

Questions about this project

Are architectural shingles rated for high-wind storms in Delray Beach?

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

Why is synthetic underlayment better than traditional felt paper?

Synthetic underlayment is tear-proof, non-absorbent, and vastly stronger than organic felt, providing a much safer backup waterproof seal over your roof deck.

How does proper attic ridge ventilation improve 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.
