Shingle Roofing in West Palm Beach, FL New roofs and re-roofs, built to code.

Asphalt shingle is the roof most Palm Beach County homes wear, and it is the roof Mendieta Roofing has installed most since 1988. Re-roofs, new shingle roofs and tile to shingle conversions, all permitted and inspected.

A shingle roof takes a beating here. Summer sun cooks it, afternoon storms test every seam, and hurricane season puts the whole system on trial. Whether a roof rides that out or starts leaking comes down mostly to the parts you never see: the deck, the underlayment, the flashing and the nailing.

Signs your shingle roof is due

• Granules piling up in gutters or at the bottom of downspouts
• Shingles curling at the edges, cupping, or cracked across the tab
• Bare or dark patches where the protective granules are gone
• Tabs lifted or missing after a windy storm
• Ceiling stains, or leaks that come back after repairs
• An insurance renewal asking how old your roof is

One or two of these can often be repaired. When several show up together, the roof is usually near the end of its life, and a re-roof is the honest answer.

What goes into a shingle re-roof

1. Free estimate. A look at the whole roof and a clear price before anything is signed.
2. Permit. Pulled with the county or your city under state license CCC1328504.
3. Tear-off. Old shingles and underlayment removed down to the wood deck.
4. Deck repair. Soft or rotted plywood replaced and the deck fastened to current code.
5. Water barrier. Self-adhered underlayment sealed across the deck as a second line of defense.
6. Metal. New drip edge, plus flashing at valleys, walls, vents and pipes.
7. Shingles. Architectural shingles nailed in the manufacturer’s high-wind pattern, with ridge caps and vents.
8. Cleanup and final inspection. The yard and driveway cleared, then the inspection that closes the permit.

Shingle brands and colors

The brands on Mendieta’s list include GAF, Owens Corning, CertainTeed and Tamko. Each makes architectural shingles in a wide range of colors, and many come in algae-resistant versions that help against the dark streaks common on Florida roofs. If your HOA keeps an approved color list, bring it along and the choice starts there.

Switching from tile to shingle

Some owners of older tile roofs switch to shingle at re-roof time, for the look, the weight or the budget. Permit records show Mendieta has done that conversion here in West Palm Beach. If you are weighing it, raise it at the estimate: HOA rules and historic district reviews can matter as much as the roof itself.
