Shingle Roof Replacement in Gainesville, FL, July 2025
A large two-story Gainesville home with white lap siding, a front gable in shingle-style siding with green shutters, and a roof made of one tall hip and several lower wings. In July 2025 the old shingles came off and a multi-tone gray architectural shingle went on over synthetic underlayment.

What you are looking at
The drone views show how much roof this house carries. The two-story center has a tall hip roof, and lower hip-roofed wings step down around it. Every one of those planes got new shingles, and cap shingles finish each hip line.
Straight down from above, the shingle is a true blend: charcoal, mid gray, pale gray and a scattering of warm tan tabs. From the yard it reads as a medium-dark gray against the white siding. The third photo looks down on the spot where several hips meet, and the cap shingles along each one are easy to pick out. The bundle wrappers in Brehm's work photos are marked Duration.
The fourth photo is a lower wing at the side of the house, where a single rectangular skylight sits in the roof. The new shingles run up to its frame on every side, and a hip line runs down the right edge of the wing.
From the ground, the fifth photo looks up at three hooded vents in a row and three narrow pipe vents, each coming through a collar at its base. Photos Brehm took during the job show the hooded vents being fastened down as the shingle courses reached them, and a black flashing being set around a vent pipe.
Those same photos show the old shingles stripped down to the wood deck and the deck covered in white synthetic underlayment. A strip of black membrane went down the valleys, the inside corners where two roof planes meet and water runs together. White metal drip edge, the strip at the roof edge that helps lead water off the shingles, was nailed along the edges.
A black metal fence closes in the yard, and past it a wide open lawn runs back to a line of trees. In Gainesville, with strong summer sun and afternoon storms, a roof with this many hips and wings has a lot of edges and seams, so the work under the shingles matters as much as the shingles on top.
