Shingle Roof Replacement in Lake City, FL

What you are looking at
The drone photos show how the roof is laid out. A long main section has hip ends, so it slopes down on every side instead of rising to a tall gable wall, and a back wing joins it at one inside corner. Seen from straight overhead, the main ridge and the shorter wing ridge each carry a dark strip of ridge vent.
The shingle line is printed on the bundle wrappers in photos Brehm took during the install, and the nailing strip on each shingle reads Owens Corning. The color is a blend of slate gray, charcoal and lighter gray tabs with a scattering of tan and brown. From the drone it reads as a medium gray; up close the warmer tabs show.
Photos Brehm took during the tear-off show the roof stripped to bare plywood. On the back slope one section of deck was cut out, leaving the framing and attic insulation in view, and a new piece of plywood was fitted into the opening. Black underlayment covers the deck, and white drip edge metal runs along the roof edges.
The cream brick chimney sits on the back wing, and the shingles run up to metal flashing at its base. To its right is the valley, the inside corner where the wing roof meets the main roof and two slopes send their rain into one line.
Along the top, ridge cap shingles cover the ridge vent. A ridge vent lets warm attic air out along the peak, which helps limit heat build-up under a Florida roof. The hips are finished with the same thick cap shingles, and a few black vent hoods and pipe vents sit on the back and side slopes.
The house sits on a wide lawn under big oaks hung with Spanish moss, with palms near the driveway and dense hedges wrapped around the walls.
