Winter Haven Roofing Contractors — Chain of Lakes

Why Winter Haven Homeowners Choose One World Roofing

Winter Haven is defined by its Chain of Lakes — 26 interconnected lakes that wind through the city and give it one of Florida's most distinctive residential characters. The Chain of Lakes creates both a premium waterfront market and a roofing environment where moisture management is a constant consideration. Properties within a quarter mile of any Chain of Lakes body of water experience elevated humidity cycling, accelerated algae and organic growth on roof surfaces, and higher rates of flashing corrosion than inland Polk County communities.

Winter Haven's housing stock is predominantly from the 1950s through 1990s — a generation of mid-century Florida construction that used roofing materials and methods that have long since been superseded by better products. Many Winter Haven homes have had one or more re-roofings since original construction, but some original installations from the 1960s and 1970s are still in service, far past any reasonable design life. One World Roofing encounters a high proportion of deferred maintenance and multi-layer situations in Winter Haven's established lakeside neighborhoods.

The US-17 corridor through Winter Haven is the city's commercial and medical spine, with Advent Health Winter Haven being the anchor of a significant healthcare and retail corridor. One World Roofing provides commercial flat roofing for businesses along this corridor.
