Project Overview

A high-performance residential shingle roof replacement completed on Franklin Street in Hollywood, FL 33024. Built to adhere strictly to Broward County’s high-wind uplift regulations, this installation replaced an exhausted asphalt roof with a heavy-duty architectural shingle envelope engineered to withstand severe wind uplift, torrential tropical rainstorms, and intense daily sun 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 tab edges, and failing flashings that increased leak vulnerability during severe summer downpours.

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

Local high-velocity wind requirements 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 old roofing layers down to the structural wooden decking platform

Inspect underlying plywood, replacing water-damaged panels and re-nailing the deck to satisfy 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 heavy-gauge metal drip edges, starter shingle courses set in sealant, and rubberized 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 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 continuous ridge vent channels

The Result

A storm-hardened shingle roof delivering total leak defense and updated curb appeal

This Hollywood property now features an airtight, multi-layered architectural shingle envelope that substantially elevates exterior visual 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 Hollywood, FL?

Yes. When installed with Florida Building Code-approved starter courses, proper 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 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.
