What you are looking at
The drone frame from above the back corner shows how the roof is laid out. Most of the house sits under one broad hip roof, with gray hip cap shingles covering each line where two slopes meet. Two clear solar tube domes and three round black vents sit near the top of the back slope, and more solar tube domes and black vent pipes are spread across the side slope.
The shingle is a laminated architectural style in a mix of gray, blue-gray and soft brown. In the front drone frames the blend reads as a medium gray that goes easily with the taupe stucco and the white gutters. Photos Brehm took in February, before the work, show the old roof in a reddish brown.
At the front, a gable with white trim and a cluster of diamond tiles sits over the screened entry and breaks up the long run of the hip. To the right, a smaller hipped section ties in through valleys, the inside corners where two slopes meet and carry rain down toward the gutter, and a second, smaller front gable with white trim and a single diamond tile caps the far right end over an arched window.
The close photos were taken on the roof once the shingles were down. A ridge vent runs under the cap shingles along one of the short ridges; its slotted edges let warm attic air out at the peak, which helps limit heat build-up through a Florida summer. Nearby, a vent pipe wears a black boot and grille cap beside the flashing of a solar tube, and a black hooded cap covers another vent opening.
Photos Brehm took on April 1 show the old shingles coming off, synthetic underlayment fastened with plastic cap nails, and black metal drip edge along the eaves before the new shingles went on. The solar tubes stayed in place, and the new shingles were fitted around them.
The overhead drone frame shows the setting: single-story homes set close together, with a tan roof on one side and a pale gray roof on the other. The white ribbed metal cover along the back of the house is a separate roof from the shingles.
