Roof Replacement in Melbourne, FL December 2025

What you are looking at

The first photo looks along the main ridge toward the far end of the house. The slopes are a light gray with a faint blue cast, laid in an uneven pattern of lighter and darker tabs. A ridge vent runs down the peak under capped ridge shingles, and a small black pipe vent sits to the right.

From the front, the house sits low under the new roof. Stucco walls with green trim meet gray vinyl siding, and a gabled porch roof on two white columns covers the entry. The same shingle runs over the porch, the main roof and the small hood above the bay window. These frames were taken in late December under a gray winter sky.

Up close, each course is offset from the one below it. One frame shows a round-topped metal box vent set into the slope, just below the ridge vent. A box vent is a metal hood that lets hot attic air out through the roof surface.

Smaller roofs got the same shingle. Over the bay window, the courses curve around the angled corners above white trim. A low roof against a wall shows straight, even courses. The garage roof ends at a white gutter above the green door.

Earlier frames from the job file show the order of work. First the old shingles came off, and gray synthetic underlayment covered the bare deck. Bundles with Oyster Shell printed on the end sat on the roof. Underlayment is the water barrier under the shingles, so it goes down first.

The last photo shows the back of the house. The screened porch has its own low flat roof, a different material from the shingles. Croton plants grow along the wall, and an oak trunk fills the right edge of the frame.
