Project Overview

An extensive residential roof upgrade in Boynton Beach, FL 33435, replacing an aging shingle assembly with a high-wind dimensional shingle system. Engineered to comply with Palm Beach County’s strict hurricane standards, this installation provides long-lasting leak protection against tropical rainstorms, intense UV rays, and high wind uplift pressures.

The Challenge

Where the roof started

The previous shingle roof had suffered from sun-driven material degradation, showing signs of severe granule loss, curling edges, and loose seal strips that put the home at risk during heavy coastal rains.

Weathered shingles were losing their protective surface layer, accelerating UV breakdown of the underlying mat

Local high-velocity wind requirements necessitated full deck re-fastening before new underlayment placement

Trapped attic heat was increasing indoor cooling demands and required an upgraded ridge ventilation setup

Scope Of Work

What we did

Strip off old shingle layers completely down to the original wooden roof deck

Inspect structural plywood, replacing compromised sheets and re-fastening the deck to modern high-wind standards

Lay down a continuous layer of high-performance tear-resistant synthetic underlayment

Install self-adhering ice & water shield membrane across all valley troughs and vulnerable transitions

Precision-install Florida-certified architectural shingles using a reinforced 6-nail fastening schedule

Materials & System

What was installed

Florida-approved dimensional architectural asphalt shingles with algae-resistant granules

High-performance synthetic secondary waterproof underlayment

Self-adhered modified-bitumen water barrier for valleys and roof transitions

Heavy-duty drip edge metal, high-wind starter strips, and ridge vent caps

The Result

A storm-resilient shingle roof offering fresh style and energy efficiency

This Boynton Beach property now benefits from a strong, multi-dimensional shingle envelope that drastically enhances curb appeal, optimizes attic airflow to lower heat gain, and provides reliable defense against severe seasonal storms.

Project FAQ

Questions about this project

How do architectural shingles hold up against Palm Beach County storms?

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

Why is synthetic underlayment superior to standard felt paper?

Synthetic underlayment is engineered to be tear-resistant, impervious to rot, and far more durable than traditional organic felt, creating a stronger backup waterproof seal for your roof.

Does a new shingle roof improve home energy efficiency?

Yes. Upgrading to modern dimensional shingles paired with proper ridge ventilation allows trapped attic heat to escape, reducing stress on your air conditioning unit during hot summer months.
