Roof Replacement Before & After Photos

We installed rafter mates from the soffits to the ridge vent in all rafter spaces and then installed R30 insulation in each rafter space in this Prospect, CT roof. 

This building was the combination of two house put together almost 100 years ago, one of the roof slopes had rough-cut Barnboard the other wood lats both covered in cedar shingles and two layers of asphalt shingles. After removing the existing routes to the wood we covered the entire roof and half-inch CDX plywood installed 6 feet of ice and water shield on all drip edges and in the valleys. The balance of the wood was covered in Owens Corning deck armor synthetic felt. We then shingled the roof with Owens Corning duration shingles. Pipe flashing and chimney flashing were replaced chimney and copper and then finished off with the ridge vent and cap.

This customer in Middlebury had us install IKO Dynasty Granite Black Shingles.

This was a dangerous situation for this homeowner, there was black mold all over their attic and it was slowly starting to spread into the rest of the home. When this type of thing happens at this level the only thing that can be done is to replace all of the molded and damaged wood, but before we can do that we had to rip up all the existing shingles. Once that was done we ripped up all the moldy plywood as well as every surrounding sheet to make sure we removed it all. 

Once these sheets were replaced and we knew we had taken care of the mold we laid down the underlayments, for this layer we used three different materials. Our Sealeron Ice and Water, our Sealeron Deck Tape, and our synthetic underlayment. These three materials seal and waterproof the decking layer so no moisture gets into the attic.

Now that this was done we could install the flashings and shingles. We always start at the bottom corner of the roof and work our way up making sure that the shingles are layered properly. As we make our way up we flash around any openings in the roof like chimneys and pipe boots with the proper material. Once the shingles were fully installed this roof was complete. There was no more mold in the attic and the home had a refreshing new look to it.

These home and garage roofs in Middlebury were covered in moss. The Brown Roofing team made this home look as good as new by installing a brand new roof. Our crew used IKO Dynasty shingles to create this reliable new roof. Now this home owner can rest assured that their home is well protected, and looking great.
