Shingle Reroof with Flat Section in Gainesville, FL

December 2025

This project involves replacing the roof on a 1950s home that features both a shingle system and a large flat roof section. During the home inspection, water was discovered inside the spray foam insulation, which often points to long term moisture intrusion from aging roofing materials. Older homes built in this era frequently have mixed roof types, and flat roofs especially tend to deteriorate faster due to standing water, granule loss, and heat exposure. The new roofing system will use Owens Corning Duration shingles in Williamsburg Gray on the pitched sections, paired with black drip edge, black boots, black vents, and matching paint for a consistent finish. The flat roof portion will be evaluated for replacement with appropriate flat roofing material, offering the homeowner a clean transition between both roof styles. At 14 squares, the shingle portion may be smaller, but a hybrid roof setup requires precise detailing at transitions, flashing points, and tie-ins between pitched and flat surfaces. Proper tear off, inspection of the 1950s decking, and reinforced waterproofing will ensure the home performs better than it has in decades. Duration shingles provide strong wind resistance and a modern architectural look while improving weather protection. Brehm Roofing and Restoration approaches mixed roof homes with detailed planning and careful execution, ensuring every surface is sealed, protected, and ready for Florida’s demanding climate. https://maps.app.goo.gl/QHhf84HaJVJcpeiy7
