Gainesville Roof Replacement with Owens Corning Duration Driftwood
This project involves replacing a shingle roof originally installed in 1997, well beyond the typical service life for an asphalt roofing system in Florida. At this age, shingles often lose granules, sealing strength, and overall flexibility, increasing the risk of leaks and structural issues. Rather than continuing repairs, a full replacement provides the most reliable long term solution. The scope of work includes both the main roof and a rear porch area, ensuring the entire structure is protected under one consistent roofing system. The new roof will be installed using Owens Corning Duration shingles in Driftwood, including matching Driftwood ridge cap, covering approximately 48 squares. Driftwood remains a popular architectural color due to its balanced blend of gray and brown tones, offering versatility and curb appeal across a wide range of home styles. Brown drip edge, brown vents, brown pipe boots, and matching paint were selected to maintain a cohesive appearance while protecting key transition points and penetrations. A full tear off allows for decking inspection and updated underlayment installation before the new shingles are applied. Owens Corning Duration shingles are engineered with reinforced fastening zones that improve wind resistance and long term durability. Replacing a roof of this age ensures improved performance, updated protection, and peace of mind moving forward. https://maps.app.goo.gl/QHhf84HaJVJcpeiy7
