Low Barrel Roof Tile in Margate

This was a tile roof replacement we completed for a client in Margate. The Villa 900, a low barrel double roll cement roof tile by Westlake Royal Roofing Solutions, met the HOA requirements and the homeowner’s budget.

Existing roof with weathered and broken tiles

Their existing tile roof had lost its color over the years, had many broken tiles and multiple leaks, causing ceiling stains inside the home. The leaks had rotted the wood decking underneath requiring over 100 sq ft of it to be replaced.

Rotted wood in need of replacement

After removing the existing roof tiles and replacing the rotted wood, we laid down Polyanchor mechanically fastened with tin-cap, followed by the Polystick TU Plus.

Polyanchor installed with Polystick ready for in-progress inspection

Once delivered, we installed the new roof tiles and passed our final inspection.

Before & After Photos

Flat Roof Replacement in North Miami

After photo of complete flat roof replacement

This flat roof replacement project also required complete decking replacement. The decking was damaged from excessive water puddling for long periods of time. This allows for water to penetrate through any cracks in the roofing paper, making its way to the wood and rotting it over time.

Rausa Builders Corp. removed all the existing roofing paper and all decking. After decking replacement, 75 Felt with Tin Cap was installed, followed by 2 Fiber Layers with hot mop and finally, the cap sheet installation with hot mop as well.
