Owens Corning Duration Harbor Blue Roof Replacement in University Park, Gainesville, FL
This University Park home along the NW 20th Terrace corridor near the University of Florida / W University Avenue area in Gainesville, FL 32603 needed a full shingle replacement due to age on a roughly 22-plus-year roof. The homeowner looked at metal and stayed with architectural shingles.
We installed about 29 squares of Owens Corning Duration in Harbor Blue with 3 starter bundles, 8 bundles of OC ProEdge hip and ridge, Titanium PSU30 underlayment, and new white drip edge throughout (27 pieces ordered). Sales consultant Alex Lawrence walked the project in University Park.
A permit was pulled for this replacement. Issuer is not confirmed in the ProLine record we used for this write-up, so we do not invent a jurisdiction here. View the finished project on our University Park Showcase.
Why Owens Corning Duration Harbor Blue for an age-related University Park reroof?
Owens Corning Duration in Harbor Blue was the system chosen for this full University Park replacement after the homeowner called for a roof replacement due to age.
A roughly 22-plus-year shingle roof is past its comfortable service life in Gainesville heat and storms. Duration Harbor Blue is a cool multi-tone architectural shingle that fits a residential University Park lot near UF in ZIP 32603. About 29 squares covered this home, with 3 starter bundles and 8 ProEdge hip and ridge bundles finishing the peaks.
Sales consultant Alex Lawrence scoped the work. The homeowner looked at metal, then stayed with a new Duration Harbor Blue shingle system on a timeline of the next 30 days, with no storm claim on the job.
Does a full Gainesville reroof include new drip edge?
Yes. On every full roof replacement we install new drip edge with the new roof system.
This University Park job used new white drip edge throughout with the Harbor Blue Duration field (27 pieces ordered). Edge metal lines the eaves and rakes and protects the deck edge where water leaves the roof. Old drip edge does not stay on a full Brehm reroof.
What does a finished Duration Harbor Blue field look like in University Park?
This Showcase is a completed reroof with a clean Harbor Blue Duration field, matching ProEdge on the ridges, and finished planes along the NW 20th Terrace corridor near UF / W University Avenue.
Gainesville homes take Alachua-area heat, summer storms, and neighborhood tree cover. A Duration system with Titanium PSU30 underlayment and new white drip edge is built for that weather on a residential lot in ZIP 32603.

FAQs
Is age alone a reason to replace a University Park shingle roof?
Often yes when the roof is past about 20 years and the homeowner is planning ahead rather than waiting on a leak. This University Park Showcase was an age replacement on a roughly 22-plus-year shingle roof with no storm claim. Ask your sales consultant to walk the field and say whether a patch or a full system makes sense.
Can I look at metal and still choose Duration Harbor Blue?
Yes. Many Gainesville homeowners compare metal and shingle before locking the order. This University Park homeowner looked at metal and stayed with Owens Corning Duration Harbor Blue. Walk sample boards on your elevation with your sales consultant before you decide.
What should I ask about underlayment and drip edge on a Duration quote?
Ask whether the quote includes peel-and-stick underlayment and new drip edge with the field color plan. This University Park job used Titanium PSU30 underlayment and new white drip edge with the Harbor Blue Duration field. Those pieces are part of a complete system, not optional add-ons you should have to chase later.
