This Blues Creek home in Gainesville needed a full shingle replacement on a roof from around 2011. The homeowner wanted to stay with shingles and was not in a rush.
We installed about 40 squares of Owens Corning Duration in Desert Rose with 10 rolls of MFM SA starter, 7 bundles of OC ProEdge hip and ridge, and new white drip edge throughout. Sales consultant Mike Abadin walked the project in Blues Creek.

Why Owens Corning Duration Desert Rose for a Blues Creek reroof?
Owens Corning Duration in Desert Rose was the system chosen for this full Blues Creek replacement on a roof from around 2011.
The homeowner wanted to stay with architectural shingles rather than switching products. Desert Rose is a warm multi-tone Duration color that fits a residential Gainesville lot. About 40 squares covered this home, with 10 rolls of MFM SA starter and 7 ProEdge hip and ridge bundles finishing the peaks.
Sales consultant Mike Abadin kept the scope on a planned retail replacement with no rush on the timeline. Age alone was enough reason to replace the system instead of waiting for a leak or a denial letter.
Does a full Gainesville reroof include new drip edge?
Yes. On every full roof replacement we install new drip edge with the new roof system.
This Blues Creek job used new white drip edge throughout with the Desert Rose Duration field. Edge metal lines the eaves and rakes and protects the deck edge where water leaves the roof. We never reuse old drip edge on a full reroof.

What does a finished Duration Desert Rose field look like in Blues Creek?
This job is a completed reroof with a clean Desert Rose Duration field, matching ProEdge on the ridges, and finished roof planes.
Gainesville homes take Alachua County heat, summer storms, and neighborhood tree cover. A Duration system with new white drip edge is built for that weather on a residential lot like this one.

FAQs
Is Desert Rose a good color choice for Blues Creek homes?
Desert Rose is a warm multi-tone Duration color that works well on light stucco and tree-covered Gainesville lots like this Blues Creek home. Color preference is personal, so walk sample boards on your elevation with your sales consultant before you lock the order.
Do I need to wait for storm damage before replacing a ~2011 roof?
No. Many Blues Creek and greater Gainesville homeowners replace on age and condition. This was a planned reroof with no rush. Ask your sales consultant whether a planned Duration replacement fits your timeline better than waiting for damage.
What should I ask about starter and hip or ridge on a Duration quote?
Ask whether the quote includes self-adhered starter and manufacturer hip and ridge that match the field color. This Blues Creek job used 10 rolls of MFM SA starter and 7 ProEdge bundles with the Desert Rose field. Those finishing pieces are part of a complete Duration system, not optional add-ons you should have to chase later.
