Photo Album: Full Roof Replacement in Kent, CT: Stronger, Better, and Ready for Anything

Inspector Chase headed out to Kent to meet with homeowner John, who was dealing with a leak in his attic. After a detailed assessment, Chase determined that a full roof replacement was the best way forward, and John was on board. After reviewing all the options, John chose our IKO Dynasty premium-laminated architectural shingles for his new roof. With the plan set, Project Manager Connor and his crew jumped into action, ready to deliver an outstanding result. Now, with reinforced decking and top-tier shingles, John’s new roof is built to last, standing strong against whatever the elements throw its way for years to come. Brown Won't Let You Down!

Leak in the Attic

Over time, moisture buildup can lead to dark stains, rot, and eventually leaks, as seen here in John's attic. Let's get to fixing that!

Protecting the Property

Before starting the roof renovation, our crew takes careful precautions by setting up heavy-duty tarps and plywood sheets over windows. These protective measures ensure the homeowner's property and landscape remain safe throughout the process.

The Teardown

The crew strips away the old shingles, revealing the roof decking beneath. Any damaged sections - like the ones seen in the first photo - are carefully removed and replaced with fresh, sturdy CDX plywood to ensure a solid foundation for the new roof.

Seams Are Taped & Underlayment Is Installed

Once all necessary decking replacements are complete, the crew reinforces the structure by sealing the seams of each plywood sheet with heavy-duty all-weather deck tape. Next, they apply a protective layer of underlayment across the entire surface, shielding it from harsh elements like rain, wind, and snow.

New Shingles Are Installed

With the underlayment fully applied, it's time to start installing the new shingles! Brown Roofing proudly uses superior-quality IKO Dynasty shingles for all of our roofs backed by a 50-year warranty. Available in a variety of colors, John has chosen the very popular Granite Black shade for his new roof.

The Finished Look

The crew completes the installation of the shingles, adds a ridge vent along the ridges for optimal ventilation, secures the pipes and chimney with proper flashing, and the roof is officially finished!
