Shingle and Flat Roof Replacement in Dunnellon, FL, July 2025
A single-story Dunnellon home with cream stucco walls, an attached two-car garage and a brick chimney, re-roofed in July 2025. The old reddish brown shingles came off the long gable roof, Owens Corning Duration shingles went on in a gray and tan blend, and the low-slope section off the back was redone in rust brown.

What you are looking at
The drone shot from the front takes in the whole main roof: one long gable with the ridge running the length of the house, a brick chimney at the ridge, and two brown garage doors under the front eave. From the air, in bright sun, the shingles read as a soft gray-brown with tree shadows falling across the slope.
Up close the blend is busier than it looks from above. Light gray, tan, charcoal and a few blue-gray tabs mix across every course. These are architectural shingles, built in two layers so each tab casts a small shadow and the roof has some depth instead of looking flat.
Looking straight down, the two slopes show plainly. The front slope catches the light, and the shaded back slope has several vent pipes coming through it. The rust-brown strip along the back is the low-slope section, which had a weathered gray surface before the job. Photos Brehm took during the tear-off show the crew stripping that section along with the shingles.
At the peak, a ridge vent runs under the capped ridge shingles. It is a low, continuous vent meant to let warm attic air escape along the top of the roof. Bright metal flashing wraps the base of the chimney where the shingles meet the brick, and the vent pipes on the back slope are sealed where they pass through.
Photos Brehm took during the job show the old shingles coming off down to the plywood deck. A black ice and water barrier went down along the eaves from rolls labeled Owens Corning WeatherLock Mat, underlayment covered the rest of the deck, and brown metal drip edge was nailed along the roof edges before the new shingles went on. The shingle bundles on the roof were labeled Duration.
The house sits on a big lot shaded by oaks hung with Spanish moss, with open lawn and a small shed out back. Florida summers bring hard afternoon rain, and the places where a roof is cut open, at a chimney, a pipe or the ridge, are where careful flashing and sealing matter most.
