Shingle Roof Replacement in High Springs, FL
A single-story home on an open lot in High Springs, with a hip roof that wraps a garage wing and steps out over a covered back patio. The old roof came off down to the deck in early June 2026, and new Owens Corning Duration architectural shingles went on in a blue-gray blend.

What you are looking at
The first drone frame takes in the whole roof from the side. It is an L-shaped hip roof: the slopes come down to a gutter on every side instead of ending in a gable wall, and the hip lines meet at short ridges. Around the back, the middle of the house steps out twice, and the lower step shelters the patio.
Up close the shingles mix pale sky-blue tabs with darker slate and charcoal ones, which gives the close frames their checkered look. In the wider drone frames the blend settles into a soft gray-blue that sits easily with the pale siding and white trim.
Photos from the first day of the job show what is under those shingles. The old roof was stripped to the wood deck, the joints between deck sheets were covered with self-adhering seam tape, and synthetic underlayment went over the whole deck, held with plastic cap nails. A new white drip edge was nailed along the eaves. Drip edge is the bent metal strip at the roof edge that sends water into the gutter instead of behind it. The shingle bundles stacked on the roof that day are wrapped as Duration, the Owens Corning line.
The close frames show how the roof breathes. A ridge vent runs along the main ridge: a slotted strip tucked under the cap shingles that lets hot attic air out at the peak. On one slope two black hooded exhaust caps and two plumbing vent pipes come up through the new shingles, and every hip is finished with thick cap shingles laid like a row of scales.
At the garage end the same roof carries over the garage, with the air conditioner, meters and a satellite dish along the side wall. Around the house is open lawn with a few young trees, a wire and wood fence at the back and a tree line beyond, photographed on a bright, clear day in early June.
Roofs around High Springs spend most of the year in strong sun and take afternoon storms all summer, right into hurricane season. Taped deck seams give a second line against water if shingles are torn loose, and a vented ridge lets summer heat out of the attic.
