Photo Album: Oxford, CT Roof Upgrade: Expert Materials, Quality Craftsmanship

Inspector Coleton headed to Oxford to meet homeowner Chris, who reached out to Brown Roofing for a full roof replacement after spotting our work around his neighborhood. Intrigued by our reputation, Chris wanted to learn more about what we could offer. After walking him through our premium process and showing off our top-notch materials and craftsmanship, Chris was sold on us. Project Manager Austin and his crew jumped in to handle the job with precision and care. They reinforced Chris’s sheathing, ensured the plywood was in perfect condition, added protective underlayment, and topped it all off with stunning new premium-laminated shingles. Now, with our 50-year warranty, Chris can relax knowing his roof is built to last and keep his family safe and dry for years to come! Brown Won't Let You Down!

This bird's-eye view shows just how much wear and tear Chris's old roof had endured, with noticeable shingle discoloration all around. Time to give this roof the update it deserves!

Preparing for the Teardown

Before the teardown begins, the crew lays out large tarps along the edges of the house and yard to protect the homeowner's property from falling debris. Plus, it makes cleanup a but more efficient.

The Sheathing Is Examined

With all the old shingles stripped away, what's left is the plywood layer known as the roof sheathing - the backbone of the roof. To ensure a solid foundation, the crew carefully inspects every inch for signs of damage, rot, or mold.

Bad Plywood Is Removed & Replaced

Any sections of the sheathing found with damage are removed and replaced with sturdy new 1/2" CDX plywood, guaranteeing a strong and reliable base for the new roof.

Seams Are Taped & Underlayment Is Installed

Next, the seams of each plywood sheet in the sheathing are taped up with all-weather Sealoron XT deck tape for added reinforcement. After that, a layer of underlayment is installed over the entire surface. This thin, waterproof membrane shields the roof from harsh weather elements like rain, wind, snow, or ice, helping to extend its lifespan.

New Shingles Are Installed

Next, it's time to install the new shingles! Chris has chosen the stunning shade of Summit Gray from the IKO Dynasty premium-laminated collection. These top-tier shingles are backed by Brown Roofing's 50-year warranty, ensuring lasting durability and style.

Ridge Vent Is Installed

To ensure the roof breathes properly, a shingle vent is placed along the ridges, helping hot, humid air to escape and reducing the chance of damaging moisture buildup.

New Chimney Flashing

A thin metal flashing is placed around the chimney where it connects to the roof. This serves as a protective shield, preventing water from infiltrating the junction and causing potential damage.
