This building was the combination of two house put together almost 100 years ago, one of the roof slopes had rough-cut Barnboard the other wood lats both covered in cedar shingles and two layers of asphalt shingles. After removing the existing routes to the wood we covered the entire roof and half-inch CDX plywood installed 6 feet of ice and water shield on all drip edges and in the valleys. The balance of the wood was covered in Owens Corning deck armor synthetic felt. We then shingled the roof with Owens Corning duration shingles. Pipe flashing and chimney flashing were replaced chimney and copper and then finished off with the ridge vent and cap.
The previous owners of this Middlebury home did not replace this roof correctly last time, and added the existing layer of gray shingles on top of the red shingles. This caused serious issues, but Brown Roofing swooped in to save the day. We gave this roof a full replacement with a brand new 7 layer roofing system.
This customer in Middlebury had us install IKO Dynasty Granite Black Shingles.
This homeowner needed help with their beautiful stone chimney. The Brown Roofing team repointed the chimney by removing damaged mortar, and replacing it with new mortar. The pictures above show a close up of damaged motor, and a full view of the finished chimney.
This home needed a simple chimney reflashing. There are a few steps to this process to ensure that the chimney is water-tight. We first start by removing the surrounding shingles and taking off the old flashing. If there is any damaged wood we would replace it but in this case there was none. Then we clean the area by removing any dirt, debris, old caulking, and mortar. Next, we install our Sealeron Ice and Water around and up the sides of the chimney.
Then we step flash and re-shingle up the roof. How does this work, well we start by laying the flashing on the front of the chimney in an L shape with one side running up the chimney and the other side running along the decking. Next, we run this flashing up the sides of the chimney in the same way while also re-shingling the exposed underlayments. Then, we counter-flash the entire chimney to ensure that water is effectively diverted away from the chimney. Lastly, we caulk any seams that may be exposed.
