Shingle Roof Replacement in Newberry, FL, February 2025
A one-story Newberry home with tan brick walls and red-brown wood gables, set beside fenced pasture under big oaks. In February 2025 Brehm tore off the old dark gray shingles and put on architectural shingles in a warm brown blend, with new metal flashing around the tan brick chimney.

What you are looking at
The first photo looks down one long roof plane toward the pasture. The shingles run in straight, even courses to the eave, and a single plumbing vent comes through near the middle with a pipe boot sealing its base. Past the roof edge sit a fan palm, a clipped shrub and a board fence, then open grass and a row of oaks hung with Spanish moss.
From the yard the whole roofline shows against a clear blue sky. Both ends finish in gables trimmed in red-brown wood, the tan brick chimney rises near the middle, and a TV antenna on a tall mast stands toward the right end. Photos Brehm took from the yard show tan brick walls under that trim and a covered porch under the left-hand gable.
Up close the shingles mix tan, gray and reddish brown tabs in staggered sizes, the layered look of an architectural shingle. On the shaded side they read as a darker gray-brown, and in full sun they warm toward tan. The box vent in the fourth photo has a red-brown finish that sits close to the darkest tabs.
The chimney gets its own close look. A silver metal apron lies over the shingles along its lower face, and above it a metal strip is screwed into the brick and sealed along its top edge. Photos Brehm took during the install show the same metal running up the sides of the chimney, with the shingles cut in tight against it.
Photos Brehm took during the tear-off show the bare plywood deck once the dark gray shingles came off, with several pale new sheets nailed in where the old deck was replaced. Gray underlayment then went over the whole deck, followed by brown drip edge at the eaves and box vents bedded in black roof cement. The main ridge was cut open for a ridge vent, now hidden under the ridge caps. It lets warm attic air out along the peak, which helps limit heat build-up through a Florida summer.
The fifth photo shows the metal mast that brings the power line into the house, sealed where it passes through the roof with a black rubber boot. The last photo looks across a roof edge into the pasture, where bare branches draped in moss hang over the shingles and dark board fencing runs along the grass.
