This Keystone Heights home sits in a wooded stretch near Smith Lake in the 32656 zip. The original shingle roof dated to 2001, so the homeowner called for replacement due to age, and the new system is about 17 squares of Owens Corning Duration in Onyx Black, including 2 starter bundles and 3 ProEdge hip and ridge bundles, with new black drip edge. Every full replacement we do includes new drip edge with the new shingles.

Why replace a 2001 shingle roof in Keystone Heights with Duration Onyx Black?
The homeowner called for replacement due to age. The original shingle roof dated to 2001, so the system was about 25 years into Florida sun and storms when it came off.
The new roof is about 17 squares of Owens Corning Duration architectural shingles in Onyx Black, including 2 starter bundles and 3 ProEdge hip and ridge bundles. Onyx Black is a deep charcoal architectural blend. On a wooded Keystone Heights lot with Spanish moss and a smaller footprint it reads as a dark, tight roof instead of leaving tired 3-tab in place.
Sales Consultant Alex Lawrence handled this job. Seventeen squares is a compact residential reroof compared with the large Gainesville houses we often see, but it still gets a full Duration system, new black drip edge, and ProEdge caps on the ridge.
Does a full reroof in Keystone Heights include new drip edge?
Yes. On every full roof replacement we install new drip edge with the new shingles.
This job used new black drip edge. The metal lines the eaves against the Onyx Black field and protects the deck edge where water leaves the roof. Edge metal gets replaced with the system on a full reroof.
Black ridge vent, pipe boots, and off-ridge vents keep the penetrations in the same dark family as the field. That pairing is part of the new system, not leftover hardware from the 2001 roof.

Why replace a 2001 shingle roof in Keystone Heights?
The homeowner called because of age. The original shingle roof dated to 2001, so it had been through about 25 years of Florida sun and storms before this Duration Onyx Black replacement.
Is Duration Onyx Black a better fit than leftover 3-tab on a wooded lot near Smith Lake?
