What you are looking at
The drone frames show how much roof this house carries. Long hips run down from a short main ridge, a narrow hipped section steps forward at the center of the front, and a wing on the right covers an open carport held up by brick columns. Every hip is finished with a row of cap shingles, which are folded pieces that cover the joint where two roof planes meet.
From the air the roof reads as a dark charcoal gray. Up close it breaks into a patchwork of charcoal, slate blue, pale gray and a warm brown, set in a random pattern so no two courses line up the same way. Over tan and brown brick and light gutters, that mix keeps the big roof planes from looking flat.
The close photos were taken on the roof once the shingles were down. One shows a plumbing vent with a new black pipe boot, the rubber collar that seals around the pipe, beside a capped hip. Another follows a hip down to a valley where the shingles from one plane are trimmed in a straight line over the other. That is called a closed-cut valley.
Photos Brehm took during the tear-off show what sits under the shingles. After tear-off the bare plywood was blown clean, a black self-adhered membrane went down the valleys first, and gray synthetic underlayment printed with the Brehm Roofing logo covered the rest, held with plastic cap nails. A dark metal drip edge was nailed along the eaves just above the gutters.
The house sits on open acreage under oaks hung with Spanish moss, with a screen enclosure over the back patio and a small white low-slope roof beside it. Photos taken at the inspection that spring show the old roof had faded light shingles with leaf litter packed into the valleys. Under trees like these, valleys catch leaves and hold water, so the membrane under them and a clean valley line count for a lot through Florida's afternoon storms and hurricane season.
