Peel and stick underlayment is one of the biggest upgrades in modern roofing. Unlike traditional felt paper, this self-adhering membrane bonds directly to the roof deck to create a waterproof seal.
Instead of being nailed down, it sticks permanently to the wood, sealing nail holes and preventing water intrusion.
How It Works
Peel and stick membranes include an adhesive backing that activates when applied. Once installed, the membrane seals around every roofing nail, creating a watertight barrier.
This is especially important during hurricane conditions when shingles may be damaged or blown off.
Florida Storm Protection
If shingles are lost during a storm:
• Standard felt leaves exposed wood
• Peel & stick keeps the roof waterproof
This can be the difference between minor repairs and major interior flooding.
Insurance Benefits
Many Florida homes receive wind mitigation credits and insurance discounts when peel & stick underlayment is installed.
Why Roofers Recommend It
Peel and stick dramatically reduces leak risk and improves the long-term performance of your roof.
