Shingle Roof Replacement in Newberry, FL, November 2025
Live oaks hung with Spanish moss stand around the big lawn at this long ranch house in Newberry, and in November 2025 its old brown shingles gave way to a mottled gray architectural roof. Brehm tore the old roof off down to the deck, replaced sections of plywood, and reroofed the main house, the garage wing, the front gable and the back porch gable.

What you are looking at
The first photo looks across the garage wing toward the rest of the house. The garage roof is one long gable, and the electric service mast comes up through it near the eave, with the new shingles running right up to its base. Beyond it, the main roof and the front gable carry the same shingle, with the chimney rising behind them.
From straight overhead the layout is easy to read: a long main ridge, the garage wing crossing it at one end, a gable wing on the front and a porch gable on the back with the chimney on it. The ridges carry ridge vents, which show from above as thin dark lines along the peaks, and each spot where two sections meet forms a valley.
The chimney is concrete block, painted white on its sunny face and weathered gray on the shaded side, with a flat cap resting on short block posts. A small black exhaust cap and a plumbing vent pipe sit on the roof nearby. The close photo of the garage wing shows the end of a ridge vent, a vented strip along the peak with cap shingles folded over it. A ridge vent lets warm, damp air out of the attic along its full length.
Up close the shingles mix charcoal tabs with lighter blue-gray ones in staggered rows. Along the front, one roof section overlaps the next at a trimmed edge, and the long main roof runs to a valley at the front gable, beside a brick wall at the entry, with dark brown fascia along the eaves.
Photos Brehm took during the tear-off show the old shingles coming off down to the wood deck. Where the old deck was cut out, new plywood went in, and the new pieces are marked with spray-painted numbers. The bare deck was then covered in dark gray underlayment, and new metal drip edge was nailed along the roof edges before the shingles went on. Bundle wrappers in those photos read Duration.
Photos Brehm took in March 2025 show the old roof in brown shingles. Valleys gather water from two roof planes at once, so on a roof with this many of them, the underlayment beneath matters as much as the shingles on top, especially through Florida's afternoon storms and hurricane season.
