Hurricane-Resistant Roof Installation
Living in Gibsonton and along the Florida coast means preparing for the possibility of hurricane-force winds. A standard roof is not enough. At Locke Roofing, we specialize in the installation of **High-Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ) compliant roofing systems**. This is more than just using strong shingles; it's a complete system approach. We start by ensuring the roof deck is securely fastened to your home's structure. We then apply a sealed underlayment system that acts as a secondary water barrier in case of primary roof covering failure. Finally, we install impact-resistant shingles or metal panels using a strategic, enhanced fastening pattern with ring-shank nails and proper sealant application. This meticulous process creates a unified structure that is highly resistant to wind uplift and projectile damage, providing maximum protection for your home and family.
Key System Features:
- Enhanced Roof Deck Fastening
- Peel-and-Stick Secondary Water Barrier
- Impact-Resistant Shingles (Class 4)
- Standing Seam Metal Roof Options
- Reinforced Edges and Drip Lines
Precision Leak Detection and Repair
A roof leak in Florida's rainy season can lead to catastrophic damage in a very short time. Often, the spot where water appears on your ceiling is far from the actual entry point on the roof. Our technicians are experts in **advanced leak detection**. Instead of relying on guesswork, we use technology like infrared (IR) cameras to detect temperature differences caused by trapped moisture beneath the roof's surface. This allows us to find the exact source and path of the leak without invasive and destructive exploratory work. Once identified, we perform a targeted, professional repair. We don't just apply temporary patches; we replace the compromised materials and integrate new flashing and sealants to create a permanent, watertight seal, ensuring the problem is solved correctly the first time.

- Infrared & Electronic Leak Detection
