Shingles

The Florida climate greatly reduces the life expectancy of asphaltic shingles. Good quality shingles last between 15-20 years.

Old shingles and underlayments are always torn off to expose the decking. Plywood decking installed 15-20 years ago typically is not fastened per today's building code. Renailing of the decking is an inexpensive way of making the roofing structure more resistant to damage by severe winds.

Additional roof venting can be added during the reroofing process.

Proper supervision of reshingling application helps insure correct shingling fastening as well as proper detailing at roof penetrations and wall junctures.
