Shingle Roof Replacement in Lady Lake, FL
A single-story stucco home in Lady Lake with a busy hip roof, a screened lanai and a back yard that opens onto a wide mowed lawn. In January 2026 the old roof came off down to the deck and the house was re-roofed in Owens Corning Duration shingles, the name printed on the bundle wrappers in Brehm's install photos.

What you are looking at
From above, this roof is a puzzle of hips. On the driveway side, three hip sections step down next to each other over the entry, and the back of the house breaks into more hips around the screened lanai. Every inside corner where two planes meet is a valley, and this roof has a lot of them. The finished drone photos were taken on a clear January afternoon, the day after the last shingles went on.
The shingle is an architectural shingle, built in two layers, in a blend of light gray, slate and a few near-white tabs. Its color depends on the sun. Planes facing the light read pale silver, while the shaded planes look blue-gray, so the overhead frames show a patchwork even though it is one shingle. Photos Brehm took at a November visit show the old roof was gray as well, but a flat shingle without the layered look. In the install photos, the nailing strip across each new shingle is printed Owens Corning SureNail, which marks where the nails go.
Thick cap shingles run down every hip in overlapping rows from the peak to the gutter. The short ridges at the top carry a ridge vent under the caps. Brehm's work photos show the slot cut open along the ridge before it was capped, and that opening lets hot attic air out at the highest point. The valleys are closed cut: shingles from one side run through the valley and the other side is trimmed in a straight line over them.
The roof penetrations are all black: low square box vents, rounded exhaust hoods and slim plumbing vent pipes. Photos Brehm took during the install show each exhaust opening set in a metal flashing and sealed with roofing cement as the shingles went around it. The same photos show what ended up hidden: new plywood sheets fitted in among the old OSB decking, a dark peel-and-stick underlayment over the whole deck and a new white drip edge along the eaves. Drip edge is the bent metal strip at the roof edge that steers water into the gutter.
Out back, the house faces a wide mowed lawn lined with live oaks hung with Spanish moss, and a neighbor's yellow home with a brown roof sits close on one side. A gray metal awning shades one back window, and white gutters run along the lanai and the entry. A Florida roof spends the summer in hard sun and afternoon storms, and on a hip roof with this many valleys, the flashing, vents and drip edge are the details that keep that water moving.
