Down to the Deck, Done Right
A budget-friendly shingle roof still has to be installed like a system, so we started this 4,500-square-foot Orlando project with a complete tear-off of the old shingles and a careful inspection of everything underneath. As the crew cleared the field, the project's challenge came to light: a previous reroof had been nailed poorly, with shingle nails both overdriven through the mat and underdriven so they stood proud, which had let a few areas lift and leak over time. Worse, around an old plumbing vent we found a patch of soft, water-damaged decking where a failed pipe boot had been quietly leaking. We cut out and replaced the compromised sheathing, re-secured the surrounding deck, and brought the entire nailing pattern up to current Florida code with the correct fastener count and placement for our high-wind zone. We then installed a full synthetic underlayment, with a self-adhered membrane in the valleys and along the eaves for an extra layer of protection. Correcting that earlier workmanship before a single new shingle went down is exactly the kind of detail that separates a roof that simply looks new from one that will actually perform for decades.
GAF Timberline HDZ, Installed as a System
With the deck repaired and properly prepared, we installed the home's new GAF Timberline HDZ architectural shingles, one of the best-selling and most wind-resistant shingles in the country. Working as a GAF Certified contractor, we built the roof as a complete system: starter strips along the eaves and rakes, the HDZ field shingles nailed in the reinforced nailing zone for maximum holding power, new pipe boots and vent flashing, and color-matched hip and ridge caps to finish the lines. Proper attic ventilation was confirmed so heat and moisture can escape, which helps the shingles reach their full service life in Florida's climate. The homeowner chose a color and architectural profile that complements the home's existing style and boosts its curb appeal, all at a price point well below metal or tile. Because the roof was installed by a certified crew to manufacturer specifications, we were able to register an enhanced GAF warranty that protects the homeowner well beyond a standard installation. After the final ridge cap was nailed, we ran magnetic sweepers across the property, cleared every scrap of debris, and inspected the finished roof with the homeowner, all for one honest, all-inclusive price.
