Owens Corning Duration Amber Roof Replacement in Oakmont, Gainesville, FL
Oakmont in the 32608 zip sits west of I-75 near Town of Tioga and the Newberry Road corridor. This larger reroof put about 75 squares of Owens Corning Duration architectural shingles in Amber on the house, with new white drip edge and brown boots, vents, and paint. Every full replacement we do includes new drip edge with the new shingles.
Why Owens Corning Duration Amber on a 75-square Oakmont home?
The homeowner selected about 75 squares of Owens Corning Duration architectural shingles in Amber for this full replacement.
Amber is a warm architectural blend. On an Oakmont lot with tan stucco, stone entry work, and paver drive it reads as a classic brown-tan roof instead of going stark black. Duration is a laminated shingle, so the field has more dimension than an older 3-tab roof.
Seventy-five squares is a large residential reroof. A job this size needs material staged and a crew sized for the squares. The new Duration system is built for Alachua County heat, UV, and afternoon storms that push west of Gainesville through Oakmont and Town of Tioga.
Does a full reroof in Oakmont include new drip edge?
Yes. On every full roof replacement we install new drip edge with the new shingles.
This job used new white drip edge. The light metal draws a sharp line at the eaves against the Amber field and protects the deck edge where water leaves the roof. The edge metal gets replaced with the system on a full reroof.
Brown boots, vents, and paint keep the penetrations in a warm contrast against the Amber field. That pairing is deliberate, not leftover hardware from the old roof.
What does a 75-square Oakmont reroof look like when it is done?
This Showcase is a completed reroof of about 75 squares of Duration in Amber.
The house has a complex hip and gable layout, including a faceted front roof section. A tear-off and Duration install on that many squares still needs a crew that can keep the deck closed. Homes in Oakmont near Town of Tioga see the same west Gainesville weather as the rest of the 32608 zip.
