Brown Roofing Company, Inc. Before & After Photos

The shingles on this home were falling apart and desperately needed to be replaced so this homeowner called us out to take a look. When we got to the house we saw that this home had 3 tab shingles. This type of shingle is completely outdated and is no longer used by most in the industry.

Due to the state of the shingles and decking layer, this home definitely needed a full roof replacement. Once we got the green light from the customer, we started on the replacement by ripping up the old shingles and inspecting the decking layer below. The decking layer on this roof happened to be wood lats meaning that we needed to install all new plywood over the existing wood to maintain the structural integrity of the home. Once the decking was done we moved on to the underlayments and we installed our Sealeron Ice and Water, deck tape, and a synthetic underlayment. These three materials work together to cover the whole roof and create a watertight seal around the decking layer.

Lastly, we installed the shingles and flashings, and this customer decided on our IKO Dynasty Granite Black Shingles. When installing the shingles we start at the bottommost edge and work our way across and up to ensure that the shingles are stepped and layered correctly. As we make our way up the roof we install flashings around any penetrations in the roof with the corresponding material. By the end of the day, this customer had a brand new roof that is guaranteed to keep their home dry for the next 50 years.

This home had a few leaks around the roof with no major damages but the roof was 20 years old and was in need of replacement. The first step to this replacement is to rip up all the existing shingles and check the decking layer for rot. Due to the leaks, a section of the roof needed to be replaced. Once this was done we back nailed the existing decking layer. 

The next thing we did was lay down our Sealeron Ice and Water. Then, we taped all the seams with our Sealeron strip tape, and finally, we laid down our synthetic underlayment on any of the uncovered plywood. 

Now the roof is ready for shingles, when installing shingles we always start at the bottommost corner of the roof and work our way up and across. We do this to ensure that the shingles are layered properly so that water runs off as efficiently as possible. As we make our way up the roof we flash around any penetrations in the roof like chimneys and vents with the corresponding material.

With this roof now fully replaced and the customer ecstatic, our team is happy that we’re now protecting another family.

Before the Brown Roofing team replaced this customer's roof, the existing shingles around this skylight did not match the other shingles on the roof. After the roof replacement, this area looks so much better. In addition to fixing the appearance of this area, the crew also installed ice and water shield around the edges of the skylight. A skylight should be an enjoyed addition to a home, not a blemish or safety risk. This is why our team made sure to keep this skylight area well protected and looking great. 

This customer's chimney crown was cracked and covered with moss and algae. The Brown Roofing team removed the old and damaged crown, and laid new cement. This new crown makes this chimney look so much better!

This customer chose Brown Roofing for their roof replacement, and this choice payed off in a beautiful result. The existing roof was aged and worn, so our crew removed it and installed new wood decking and shingles. The shingle color chosen by this customer was Atlantic Blue. These new IKO Dynasty shingles look great, and will keep this home safe and dry for many years to come.
