Brehm Roofing & Restoration recently completed a roof replacement in Gainesville, FL for a family friend whose home is surrounded by heavy tree coverage. The existing roof was approximately 13 years old, and the homeowner had begun noticing signs of wear. Upon tear-off, our crew discovered peel and stick underlayment adhered directly to the roof deck—a challenge that requires extra care during removal due to its bond strength. We also identified a structural issue: a dead valley where a roof valley directed water into a side wall, causing wood rot and long-term moisture damage. To solve this, we installed a two-ply modified bitumen low-slope roofing system in that section to redirect water and protect the home. This system creates a watertight barrier in problem areas where traditional shingles may not perform well. The homeowner chose Owens Corning Duration shingles in Teak, a rich, warm-toned architectural shingle that complements the wooded surroundings. Duration shingles are engineered with SureNail® Technology, algae resistance, and a 130 MPH wind rating, making them ideal for Florida's weather conditions. Our crew completed this complex job in just one day, despite afternoon thunderstorms—a testament to our team's efficiency and experience. 📍 https://maps.app.goo.gl/QHhf84HaJVJcpeiy7
