Onyx Shingle Roof Replacement in Whites Ford FL
Project Overview: Prime Roofing completed a comprehensive residential shingle roof replacement on a coastal-style home located in the White’s Ford area of St. Augustine, FL. The project involved a complete tear-off and replacement of an aging, storm-worn asphalt shingle system that suffered from widespread granule loss, advanced weathering, and compromised valleys. To maximize storm defense and modernize the property’s aesthetic, the roof was upgraded with premium Owens Corning Duration® architectural shingles in Onyx Black. This high-performance roofing system features advanced SureNail® technology for industry-leading fastening power and wind resistance, providing an immediate curb-appeal transformation alongside heavy-duty moisture protection built to withstand Northeast Florida’s severe coastal climate.

Description: This White’s Ford shingle roofing project showcases Prime Roofing’s specialized expertise in execution, technical inspection, and residential roof modernization. The property’s original roof had severely degraded due to intense UV exposure and heavy seasonal downpours, leaving the home vulnerable to leaks. Our crew began with a clean tear-off down to the bare plywood sheathing, allowing us to perform a structural deck inspection and reinforce the home’s foundational layers. We then installed a premium synthetic underlayment barrier paired with heavy-duty peel-and-stick flashing in the high-volume valleys to establish double-layer waterproof protection. The new finish features Owens Corning Duration® architectural shingles in Onyx Black, delivering deep shadow lines and a striking, bold profile that instantly upgrades the home’s exterior aesthetic. Our factory-certified roofing specialists utilized a precise 6-nail fastening method through the engineered SureNail® fabric strip to guarantee maximum wind resistance against tropical storm conditions. To complete the modern system, we integrated an advanced ridge vent setup capped with matching Onyx Black ridge shingles, facilitating optimal attic airflow to slash cooling costs and combat Florida’s punishing humidity. The final ground-level reveal highlights a total property transformation, combining striking contemporary curb appeal with elite architectural engineering. This project perfectly reflects Prime Roofing’s commitment to delivering reliable, professional shingle roofing services in St. Augustine designed for lasting durability, structural efficiency, and complete peace of mind.
