The roof on this home was in rough shape and definitely needed to be replaced, to start there were portions of the roof that never really saw the sun allowing for moss and algae to grow. Additionally, there were shingles on a slope of the roof where a flat roofing system should have been installed, because of this water was getting through the shingles and into the attic.
The first step to this installation was to rip up all the old shingles and underlayments down to the decking layer. During our initial inspection, we saw rotting plywood up in the attic so we knew that a few sheets would need to be replaced. Once the old and rotting plywood was replaced we moved on to installing the underlayments. First is our Sealeron Ice and Water, then our Sealeron Deck Tape, and finally our Velora One Synthetic Felt Paper. These three underlayments seal and protect the roof decking creating an insulating, watertight yet breathable layer around the roof.
Finally, we can move on to installing the shingles and this homeowner decided on our IKO Dynasty Glacier shingles, this color matched perfectly with the brick around their home. When installing the shingles we always start at the bottommost corner of the home and work our way up ensuring that the shingles are layered properly. We also installed an EPDM or rubber roof on the portion of the roof that required it. This is going to ensure that sitting water will not be able to seep underneath and into the attic like before.
When a storm left this homeowner with a leaking roof, the Brown Roofing team came to the rescue. Brand new IKO Dynasty shingles make this roof look fantastic, and provide extra protection against further roof damage. The color Granite Black, which was the shingle color chosen by the customer, greatly complements this home.
In order to better protect this chimney from leaks and water damage, a re-flashing was needed. The Brown Roofing team was up to the task. The old flashing was removed, which is shown in the first picture. New flashing was applied, which not only looks great, but will also help keep this homeowner's chimney safe from leaks and water damage.
This homeowner's chimney had a damaged crown, and needed new flashing. They chose Brown Roofing for the job. The crew removed the old flashing and added new lead step flashing around the base of the chimney. This will help prevent water damage and erosion against the chimney. Additionally, our team poured a new cement crown and repointed this chimney.
For this home, we needed to replace the entire roof. Once we ripped up the old shingles, we noticed mold growing on the underlayment, which points to leaks in the roof. As we finished removing this layer, the decking layer was revealed, which was in pretty bad shape. All the sheets needed to be replaced and some of the rafters needed to be repaired. Once these were fixed we laid the new decking layer on. Next was the underlayment and Ice and Water, these act as a second layer of protection against the elements. Finally, we installed the shingles and this homeowner decided to go with our Aged Copper Shingles. With their new roof, these homeowners can be certain that they will be safe and dry for many years to come.
