Shingle Roof Replacement in Dunnellon, FL
A single-story stucco home on a wooded lot in Dunnellon, with a long front porch on square columns and a hip roof that slopes down on every side. In November 2025 the old shingles came off down to the deck and the house got Owens Corning TruDefinition Duration shingles, the name printed on the bundle wrappers in the job photos.

What you are looking at
The drone frame from above takes in the whole roof. The main section is a square hip with a short ridge at the top, and a second hip section pushes forward at the front of the house. Along the front, the roof drops low over a porch held up by square stucco columns. Out back there is a white patio cover, a small canopy shelter and sandy ground under oaks and tall pines.
Up close the shingle is a mix of tan, chestnut brown and slate gray granules. Where the sun hits it, the tan tabs show and the roof reads warm brown. Under the shadow of the oaks it turns closer to dark chocolate. Each hip is covered with thicker cap shingles that run in a neat line from the eave up to the ridge.
Look at the top of each short ridge and there is a dark slot under the cap shingles. That is the ridge vent, a low vent that lets hot attic air out at the peak, which counts for a lot under Florida sun. The straight-down photo shows the ridge vent on the front section, with the hip caps meeting in a point above the walkway.
The in-progress photos show what is underneath. After tear-off, sections of the deck were replaced with new OSB, the board made of pressed wood strands that the shingles are nailed into. Then the whole deck went under a black granulated underlayment, and brown drip edge went on along the eaves. Drip edge is the bent metal strip at the roof edge that sends water off and away from the trim.
On the side planes sit a brown hooded vent cap and a slim plumbing vent pipe, both dark enough to blend with the shingles. The drip edge shows as a thin dark line above the tan stucco and white window trim. Behind the house, the roof backs up to the trees, with the electric service mast and a small shed at the edge of the woods.
Photos Brehm took at a September visit show the old roof, a lighter pinkish tan shingle on the same hip layout. The new brown blend is a clear change, and it suits the tan walls and the deep green of the oaks. The finished drone photos were taken on a clear, bright day in mid November.
