Roof Deck Work
Damaged Wood Repaired Before the New Roof Assemblies
Tear-off exposed sections of deck and perimeter wood that could not remain beneath the new roof. Those areas were removed and rebuilt before either roofing system was installed.
Completing the substrate work first provided a prepared surface for the self-adhered shingle underlayment and the base layer of the low-slope built-up roof.
Sloped Roof System
Polystick IR-Xe and TAMKO Titan XT in Shadow Grey
The pitched sections were protected with Polyglass Polystick IR-Xe, a self-adhered underlayment designed for use beneath shingle roof coverings. TAMKO Titan XT premium architectural shingles in Shadow Grey completed the exposed roof surface.
The finished wide view shows how the Shadow Grey shingle field, hips, and ridge meet the completed low-slope roof while keeping each system on the roof area it was selected to cover.
Low-Slope Roof System
Hot-Mopped GAFGLAS Built-Up Flat Roof
The GAFGLAS® #75 Base Sheet formed the first layer over the prepared flat roof deck. The crew then applied hot asphalt while installing GAFGLAS® Ply 4 as the reinforcing ply.
GAFGLAS® Mineral-Surfaced Cap Sheet completed the specified built-up roofing assembly. Its mineral-surfaced face provides the exposed roofing layer above the hot-mopped base and ply.

Fort Lauderdale Shingle and Flat Roof FAQs
What shingles were installed on this Fort Lauderdale home?
The sloped roof sections were finished with TAMKO Titan XT premium architectural shingles in the manufacturer's Shadow Grey color.
What underlayment was used beneath the shingles?
Polyglass Polystick IR-Xe self-adhered underlayment was installed on the prepared sloped roof deck before the TAMKO shingles.
What roofing system was installed on the flat section?
The low-slope roof received a hot-mopped GAFGLAS built-up system using GAFGLAS #75 Base Sheet, GAFGLAS Ply 4, and GAFGLAS Mineral-Surfaced Cap Sheet.
What does hot-mopped built-up roofing mean?
Built-up roofing uses multiple asphaltic roofing layers with hot asphalt between them. On this project, the reinforcing ply was embedded in hot asphalt and the mineral-surfaced cap sheet completed the roof assembly.
Why did the home need both shingle and flat roofing systems?
The home combines pitched roof sections with a low-slope section. M&M Roofing installed the shingle assembly on the sloped areas and the GAFGLAS built-up assembly on the flat area.
