Completed Roof in Gainesville, FL

For this project, we were contacted by a homeowner who lives out of state but owns a rental property in Gainesville. The property includes both a main home and a detached garage, each in need of a full roof replacement. Because rental properties must stay well-maintained to protect tenants and retain value, the homeowner wanted a dependable roofing system that would last for decades with minimal maintenance. The homeowner was drawn to our ability to provide a clear schedule and handle the logistics of the project smoothly, even while she remains out of state. Knowing that a reliable team is on-site gives peace of mind, especially for property owners who are managing rental investments remotely. After evaluating the condition of the existing roof, it was determined that a full reroof was the best solution. The shingles had aged beyond their service life, and replacing them would ensure both the structural integrity of the buildings and the overall value of the property. With two structures involved—the main house and a detached garage—the scope of work was set at 32 squares in total. For materials, the homeowner selected Owens Corning Duration Shingles in Williamsburg Gray. This is a popular choice due to its proven strength and ability to withstand a wide range of weather conditions common to Florida. Owens Corning Duration shingles are designed with patented SureNail® technology, which provides a reinforced nailing zone to resist strong winds and help prevent shingle blow-off. Combined with their durability and fade-resistant color, this makes them a leading option for both homeowners and rental property owners who want long-term results. The Williamsburg Gray color was chosen for its classic appeal and ability to complement a wide range of property styles. It gives a clean, updated look that helps both the main house and detached garage stand out while maintaining a cohesive appearance. Alongside the shingles, we installed a white drip edge to create clean roof lines and help direct water safely into the gutter system. All boots, vents, and roof penetrations were finished in black, providing contrast and a polished finish. One of the unique challenges with rental properties is balancing function with long-term value. Because tenants rely on a safe and comfortable home, the roofing system must be built to last while also protecting the homeowner’s investment. This project addresses both concerns—providing immediate security against leaks and storms while also ensuring the property remains attractive and competitive in the rental market. With this roof scheduled for completion in the next few weeks, the homeowner can rest assured that her property is in good hands. The combination of high-quality Owens Corning Duration Shingles, careful installation practices, and reliable scheduling makes this project a strong step forward in protecting and enhancing her rental investment. 📍 https://maps.app.goo.gl/QHhf84HaJVJcpeiy7
