Photo Album: Total Home Makeover with New Shingles & New Siding in Milford, CT

Ed in Milford was ready to give his home a well-deserved makeover, and Brown Roofing was happy to make it happen! After 30 years, his roof was due for an upgrade, and he was also interested in fresh new siding. Inspector Geoff worked with Ed to design the perfect plan, and our crews got to work. First, Project Manager Connor and the roofing team reinforced the sheathing and installed durable, long-lasting shingles. Then, the siding crew came in to complete the transformation with beautiful new siding. Now, Ed’s home is looking sharper than ever, with boosted curb appeal and protection that will last for years! Brown Won't Let You Down!

The House Before

Here's what Ed's house looked like before the total makeover. Click through to see the stunning transformation!

Prepping the Property

Before the renovation begins, the crew lays down large tarps and plywood sheets to ensure there is no damage to the homeowner's property.

The Teardown Begins

The crew strips the old shingles off of the roof. This reveals the plywood layer underneath, which is called the roof sheathing. As the structural foundation of the roof, the sheathing must be in tip-top condition, and any parts found with damage, such as rot or mold, are removed.

New Plywood Is Installed

Our experts found that all of the sheathing needed to be replaced. After getting the go-ahead from Ed, the crew installs brand-new 1/2" CDX plywood for the new sheathing. Each sheet of plywood used is numbered for easy tracking, so that our crew can accurately report back to the homeowner about how many sheets were used.

Seams Taped & Underlayment Installed

With all of the new sheathing nailed into place, the seams of each sheet are taped with all-weather deck tape as an extra measure of reinforcement. Next, a layer of underlayment is installed over the entire surface. This thin, waterproof material protects the sheathing from harsh elements like rain, wind, snow, or ice.

New Shingles Are Installed

Next, it's time for the new IKO Dynasty shingles to be installed! These premium quality architectural shingles come in a variety of colors, and Ed has selected the popular Granite Black for his new roof.

Trim Coil Installed

With the roof finished, it's time to start installing the new siding. After removing the old siding, the crew installs trim coil over all exterior walls. This thin aluminum layer helps seal out moisture and enhances aesthetic appeal.

Insulation Is On

Next, a layer of insulation is installed over the trim coil. This ensures proper thermal protection, as well as acting as yet another barrier against moisture.
