Shingle and Flat Roof Replacement in Ocala, FL, June 2025
This Ocala ranch, re-roofed in June 2025, has white painted walls, black trim and a front porch lined with white scrollwork railings. CertainTeed Landmark shingles in a gray blend went on the main roof, and the low-slope roof over the front porch was redone in black granulated roofing.

What you are looking at
The drone frame from the front corner takes in the long front slope of the main roof, running up to a straight ridge under a blue sky full of tall white clouds. At the right end the roof stops at a gable, where black rake trim follows the edge down past dark siding in the peak and white painted block below.
Up close the shingles are a busy gray blend: charcoal, mid gray and pale silver tabs, with a few that lean taupe. They are architectural shingles, made in two laminated layers so each tab throws a small shadow. Bundle wrappers in photos Brehm took during the job read CertainTeed Landmark. Two plumbing vent pipes come up through the shingles, each sealed at the base with a black boot.
The front entry porch has its own nearly flat roof. Shingles are made for steeper slopes, so this section got black granulated roofing laid in overlapping rolls with a black metal edge along the front. Photos Brehm took during the job show a blue base sheet going down first. Under it, white scrollwork railings line a gray tile porch.
Photos Brehm took during the tear-off show what sits under the new roof. Where sections of the old decking came out, new plywood was cut in, and fresh lumber replaced a few lengths of fascia board at the eaves. Gray synthetic underlayment printed with the Brehm Roofing logo then covered the deck, held with orange plastic cap nails, and black drip edge was nailed along the edges. A ridge vent runs under the cap shingles on the main ridge.
Photos Brehm took on an earlier visit show the roof before the job: light gray three-tab shingles and a gray coated porch roof. The new gray blend with black edges now ties in with the black fascia on the white walls.
Live oaks hung with Spanish moss shade the lot, a white vinyl privacy fence stands beside the house, and mulch beds edged in white stone line the walls. Florida summers bring strong sun and hard afternoon rain, and on a house like this the edges and the joint where the porch roof meets the main roof are the details that need the most care.
