Shingle Roof Replacement in Newberry, FL, February 2025
Gray Owens Corning Duration architectural shingles now cover this Newberry house, a one-story home with pale blue-gray lap siding, white trim and a covered front porch. Brehm tore off the old brown blend roof in February 2025, and the new gray blend turns blue-gray wherever the slopes fall into shade.

What you are looking at
The lead photo looks down a long back slope to the privacy fence, and the next one steps out to the front yard to frame the roofline under a sky full of clouds. The main roof is hipped, so its right end slopes down instead of stopping at a flat wall, and a front-facing gable steps forward over the right-hand wing, trimmed in white above pale blue-gray lap siding. At the left edge the main roof turns into a valley where it meets a lower section. Photos Brehm took from the street also show a second front gable over the garage and the covered porch with white railings between the two.
On this roof the color depends on the light. The rooftop photos were taken in low, warm sun, which turns the lit slopes a sandy tan, while the same shingles in shade look blue-gray. The close view, taken out of direct sun, shows the actual mix: charcoal, slate gray and light gray tabs laid in a staggered pattern, which is what gives an architectural shingle its layered look. From the yard, under clouds, the whole roof settles into a soft silver gray.
A hip is the sloped outside corner where two roof planes meet. Here the hips are covered with cap shingles that overlap down the line like a row of folded tabs, and one photo catches a hip right where the sunlight ends. On a slope above the fenced yard, a black vent pipe and a black exhaust hood come up through the new shingles. In photos Brehm took during the install, a hood of the same style is nailed down on a square black flange over the underlayment as the shingles go on around it.
In photos Brehm took on the tear-off day, the old roof is gone down to bare OSB, the wood-strand panels that form the roof deck. The seams between panels were covered with roof deck tape, and a synthetic underlayment printed with the Brehm logo went over the top, held with red plastic cap nails. New white drip edge was nailed along the eaves above the gutters, and Brehm laid a tape measure along the nail rows on the bare deck and on the drip edge to record the spacing. Bundle wrappers on the roof read Duration, and the nailing strip on the installed shingles reads Owens Corning SureNail.
Out back, a tall wood privacy fence closes in a lawn with sandy patches and a large tree with roots spread across the ground. Taped deck seams sit under the underlayment as an extra layer of protection, a detail that matters in a state with summer afternoon storms and a long hurricane season.
