Shingle Roof Replacement in Fort White, FL, August 2025
A country home tucked into tall, moss hung trees at the edge of open pasture in Fort White, re-roofed in August 2025. The old shingles came off down to the deck and a green architectural shingle went on in their place. The bundle wrappers in Brehm's work photos read Duration.

What you are looking at
Photo 1 stands at one end of the main ridge and looks along the peak toward the pasture. The shingles read as a blend of bright green, deep green and charcoal tabs, laid in a random, staggered pattern. The ridge cap runs down the peak in a long even row, and a black vent edge shows along each side of it. That is a ridge vent, a continuous opening at the peak meant to let warm attic air escape. To the right, a second roof plane runs out toward the flue pipe.
The second photo is taken on that other ridge, the one with the flue. The pipe is black with a round rain cap and a black collar where it meets the shingles, and the ridge cap and vent carry on right past it. Big trees hung with Spanish moss crowd this side of the house.
Up close, each ridge cap shingle is folded over the peak and overlaps the one before it, with the slotted black edge of the vent tucked underneath on both sides. Out on the open slope sits a low box vent with a rounded black hood. Photos Brehm took at a visit in late July show square metal box vents on the old roof.
Where the wing joins the main roof, the two slopes meet in a valley, the channel that collects runoff from both planes at once. Here the shingles from each side come together along one straight line. Those late July photos show leaves and debris piled in the valleys of the old roof, which is worth keeping an eye on under trees like these, especially through Florida's summer afternoon storms.
Photos Brehm took during the tear-off show the old shingles stripped to the wood deck and one section cut out and patched with a fresh piece of plywood. Black drip edge, the bent metal trim that guides water off the roof edge, went on along the eaves and rakes, and the dark underlayment was held down with red plastic cap nails before the shingles went on.
The drone view pulls back to show the setting. The green roof sits tucked into a stand of big shade trees, with open grass, a wire fence and a power pole in the foreground.
