Gainesville, FL Roofing Companies

Brehm Roofing & Restoration recently completed a roof replacement for a homeowner who chose to upgrade to a Secondary Water Resistance (SWR) barrier—a significant enhancement in long-term roof protection. For this project, our roofing team installed peel and stick underlayment (ice and water shield) across the entire roof deck, not just in valleys and penetrations. This full coverage creates an additional waterproof seal that serves as a backup barrier in case shingles are ever damaged or blown off during a hurricane or severe storm. Some Florida insurance companies offer premium discounts for homes with full SWR underlayment because it reduces the likelihood of major water intrusion during catastrophic weather events. The homeowner selected Owens Corning Oakridge shingles in Onyx Black, a bold, dimensional shingle line known for its laminated construction, algae resistance, and 110 MPH wind rating (upgradeable to 130 MPH). Oakridge shingles combine performance and style at a competitive price point, making them a strong option for residential homes across Florida. This project highlights our commitment to installing not just attractive roofing systems—but systems built to perform and provide peace of mind during storm season. 📍 https://maps.app.goo.gl/QHhf84HaJVJcpeiy7
