Shingle Roof Replacement in Ocala, FL, June 2025
A single-story stucco home in Ocala with a hip roof, two hipped front wings and a columned entry set back between them. In June 2025 the old shingles came off down to the deck, new plywood sheets went into the deck, and Owens Corning architectural shingles in a charcoal gray blend went on over synthetic underlayment.

What you are looking at
The first photo looks up the back slope with the sun on it, and that light shows the range in the blend: charcoal tabs mixed with lighter gray ones that carry a faint green cast, scattered across the roof in a random pattern. A long, low black metal vent sits just under the peak with a slim vent pipe beside it, and a black hooded vent sits a few courses lower.
From the front, the left wing has its own hip roof, and it meets the main roof in a valley, the inside corner where two roof planes come together and channel water down between them. The second photo catches that corner under a stack of tall gray and white clouds, a familiar sky in a Florida summer, when a roof here deals with strong sun, heat and heavy afternoon rain.
Along one side, two black hooded vents and a thin vent pipe break up a long run of shingles. The curved cap on a hooded vent is shaped to let air out and help keep rain from falling straight in. On the garage side, the electric service mast rises through the roof with the power lines attached, and the new shingles are cut in around it with a dark collar at its base.
Photos Brehm took during the tear-off show the deck once the old shingles were gone. The deck is OSB, the board made of pressed wood strands, with new plywood sheets set in where sections were replaced. The deck was then covered with synthetic underlayment held by orange plastic cap nails, and a new white drip edge was nailed along the eaves. Drip edge is the bent metal strip at the roof edge that helps steer water into the gutter instead of behind it.
Those work photos also show the hooded vents going in on flat metal flanges over the underlayment before the shingles closed around them, a vent pipe sealed with roof cement, and the Owens Corning SureNail strip printed across each shingle, the band that marks where the nails go.
The close view at the eave shows the shingle courses stepping down to a white gutter with vented soffit panels underneath. The white gutter was in place through the tear-off, and nothing in the photos shows gutter or soffit work, so this job is the roof itself.
