Shingle Roof Replacement in Newberry, FL
A one-story Newberry home with tan lap siding, brown shutters and a stand of tall pines behind it. In late January 2025 the old gray shingle roof came off and a new architectural shingle roof in a brown blend went on, with new brown vents to match.

What you are looking at
The first photo was taken from up on the roof, looking across the upper slopes. The shingles mix dark brown, charcoal gray and lighter tan pieces, so the surface looks speckled up close and settles into a warm brown from the yard. Two brown box vents sit near the top of one slope, and thicker cap shingles run along the hips, the raised lines where two slopes meet. A box vent is a short metal hood that lets hot attic air escape.
From the front lawn the house is one story, with tan lap siding, white trim and brown shutters beside the front windows. It is a hip roof, which means every side slopes down to an eave, and from the front it shows several hipped sections at different heights. On the garage side a tall brown vent stack rises out of the slope, and on the other side a screened porch sits at the back corner.
Photos Brehm took during the tear-off show the old shingles stripped down to the wood deck. Several sections of the deck were replaced with new OSB sheets, which stand out as lighter, fresh boards next to the older, darker decking. Synthetic underlayment went down over the deck next, held with plastic-cap nails, and brown metal drip edge was nailed along the eaves. Drip edge is the bent metal strip at the roof edge that helps guide water off the edge and into the gutter.
The vents changed color along with the roof. Photos Brehm took in December show the old roof in a flat gray with black metal vents. The new box vents and the long low-profile vent are brown, close to the darker tones in the shingles, and that low-profile vent sits just below the point where two hip ridges meet.
Tall pines stand right behind the house, and the ground photos from the day after the install show them against a blue sky streaked with contrails. Shrubs line the walls, and photos Brehm took on tear-off day show blue tarps laid over them to catch falling debris. The white gutters were already on the house and stayed in place through the job.
Florida roofs take steady sun, summer heat and afternoon storms through hurricane season. Attic vents like these help limit heat build-up under the roof deck, and the drip edge gives the shingles a finished metal edge to sit on along the eaves.
