Shingle Roof Replacement in Newberry, FL, December 2024
A large Newberry home with brick, stucco and cream lap siding got a full shingle roof replacement in December 2024. New dark gray architectural shingles now cover the roofs over the covered back porch, the stucco entry gable out front and the long roof over the garage.

What you are looking at
The first photo looks up at the back of the house, where a long gable slope meets two hip sections above the covered porch. Each hip line is finished with cap shingles, and the planes meet in valleys, the inside corners where rain from two slopes comes together. Against a clear blue sky the shingles read as a dark gray blend, with darker and lighter patches that give the surface some depth.
Around the side, the garage wing has its own long roof plane above a single and a double garage door. That corner of the house is red brick with a coach lamp, and cream lap siding fills the wall over the doors. Photos Brehm took during the job show black drip edge nailed along the eaves; drip edge is the metal strip at the roof edge that the first row of shingles hangs over.
Out front, a stucco-faced entry gable stands forward of the main roof with new shingles on the hips to either side, and a tall black vent pipe rises to its left. The sun was behind the house when the front was photographed, and the glare in this frame washes the shingles out to a lighter gray than they look from the back.
On the main roof beyond the garage sit two black hooded vents and a small pipe vent. Photos Brehm took while the shingles went on show a hooded vent set on a flat flange, nailed down over the underlayment and sealed at the edges. A plumbing vent got a new pipe boot, the collar that seals around a pipe where it comes through the roof, with roofing cement troweled around its base.
Photos Brehm took during the tear-off show tarps spread over the shrubs and the back patio, the old shingles stripped down to the plywood, and a dark membrane rolled into the valleys. Gray synthetic underlayment went over the deck next, held down with plastic-capped nails, before any shingles were laid.
The house sits on an open lot with a dry winter lawn, a dark board fence, big oaks hung with Spanish moss and a few trees still in red leaf. On a roof with this many hips and valleys, the joints and the spots where pipes and vents come through are where leaks usually start, which is why the valley lining and vent flashing matter as much as the open slopes.
