Brown Roofing Company, Inc. Before & After Photos

Cleaning all the old moss off of this old shed roof! Moss growth is a common roof issue we help homeowners with on a daily basis!

On this roof there was a lot of algae build up and color fade. Over time the algae on roofs eat away the UV protective layer which causes the shingles to fade faster than normal. The Abate family decided to go with our IKO Dynasty Brownstone Shingles which perfectly pairs with their beige siding. We also repaired their damaged trim and color matched it to the rest of the house.

For this home, our team replaced the roof and installed gutters. The roof was not in the worst condition, the shingles still had some life in them but they were fully covered in lichen and algae and this compromised them. Due to the lichen and a leaky flashing around the chimney the decking layer started to rot and needed to be replaced. We replaced the decking layer and laid down an Underlayment along with Ice and Water and this ensures that their roof would not leak again even if water somehow got through the shingles. This customer decided on our IKO Dynasty Shadow Brown Shingles. By the end of the day, they had a brand new roof that is guaranteed to keep them safe and dry for the next 50 years.

The Brown Roofing team repaired this customer's chimney in Derby Connecticut. The chimney was repainted, and a new chimney cap and crown was installed. When the repairs were completed, the crew sealed the chimney with Geocel 700 Chimney Sealer.

This home’s roof was in bad shape and needed to be replaced. From the surface, this home seemed to need new underlayments and shingles but once we took a look in the attic we found mold and rotting wood. This warranted a full roof replacement. 

The first step in this process is to rip off the existing shingles and usually inspect the decking layer below but because we knew that it was snake bitten we started to rip up the old rotting plywood, and we were glad we did because the whole underside of these sheets were covered in mold. Once the decking layer was taken care of we, moved on to installing the underlayments. This layer consists of 3 different materials that work together to create a water-tight yet breathable barrier that protects the home.

Lastly, we could install the shingles and flashings, when installing the shingles we always start from the bottom-most edge and work our way up and across the roof to ensure the shingles are layered and staggered correctly. As we work our way up we install flashings around any penetrations in the roof with the correct corresponding material. By the end of the day, this homeowner received a beautiful new roof that will not only keep their family safe and dry but also increase the curb appeal of their home exponentially.
