Shingle Roof Replacement in Newberry, FL, April 2025
A green-sided home with a roof of hips and valleys in Newberry, re-roofed at the end of April 2025. The old shingles came off down to the wood deck, and the new roof is Owens Corning Oakridge with ProEdge cap shingles on the hips. Those names, and the color Driftwood, are printed on the bundle wrappers in photos Brehm took during the tear-off.

What you are looking at
In the first photo, a long shingle plane runs away from the camera toward a taller hip section that rises behind it. The two meet at a valley, the inside corner where two slopes drain together. A brown hood vent and a slim dark vent pipe sit near the top of the near slope, and a sliver of green siding shows at the edge of the frame.
The shingle is an architectural style, with tabs that show as random lighter and darker patches. In full sun it reads as a warm gray-brown, and in the shade of the trees it turns closer to charcoal. Every hip is finished with cap shingles, the thicker folded pieces that cover the line where two slopes meet on an outside corner.
Several skylights sit along the upper slopes, and in the finished frames they read as a tidy row of dark boxes. Photos Brehm took on the last day of the job show new brown metal flashing being fitted around the skylight curbs, the raised frames the glass sits on, before the shingles were cut in around them. Another slope carries two brown hood vents, and Brehm's work photos show those hoods going in new over the underlayment.
The valley close-up shows how the slopes are joined. Shingles from one side run across the valley and are trimmed in a straight line, which is called a closed-cut valley. Down at a corner near the sidewalk, the hip caps step down to the eave in an even row.
Under the shingles is work the finished photos cannot show. Photos Brehm took during the tear-off show the old roof stripped to the wood deck, gray synthetic underlayment fastened over it with orange cap nails, and new white metal drip edge running along the eaves before the first course of shingles went on.
The lot is shady. Tall oaks hung with moss stand around the house, and a tree covered in white blossoms grows right beside the roof. The last photo looks up through those trunks at the new roof under a blue sky. Under trees like these, leaves and small branches tend to collect in valleys, so they are worth clearing after a summer storm.
