Roof Replacement Photo Album: Ansonia, CT Roof Overhaul Tackles Lichen and Deterioration

The Brown Roofing team headed to Ansonia to give Liridon’s home a complete roof overhaul. After consulting with roofing expert Darwin, who performed a meticulous inspection of the roof and found severe moisture damage, shingle deterioration, and invasive lichen growth, Liridon knew it was time for a full replacement. The crew got to work, reinforcing the sheathing with extra protection, followed by a high-quality underlayment, and topping it off with premium IKO Dynasty shingles. Now, Liridon can rest easy with a stunning new roof that’s not only lichen-free but also designed to keep his family safe, dry, and protected for years to come!

Old Shingles Are Stripped

The crew gets started by removing the old shingles. To ensure the homeowner's property stays safe, large tarps are laid out around the roof to catch falling debris and protect the landscape from any damage.

Sheathing Is Examined & Replaced

After all of the shingles are removed, the plywood foundation underneath, called the roof sheathing, is carefully inspected for any signs of damage, like rot or mold. Any affected areas are removed and replaced with brand-new plywood.

Seams Are Taped & Underlayment Is Applied

Once the new plywood is securely nailed down, the crew reinforces the seams of each plywood sheet by taping them with all-weather deck tape. This extra step ensures added durability. Following that, a layer of underlayment is applied across the entire surface. This thin, water-resistant material acts as a protective barrier, shielding the sheathing from rain, snow, ice, and other harsh weather conditions.

New Shingles Are Installed

Now it's time to install the new shingles! Brown Roofing trusts IKO Dynasty premium-laminated shingles for their durability and aesthetic appeal. Liridon has chosen the sleek and modern Graphite Black shade for his new roof.

Ridge Vent Is Installed

A ridge vent is installed along the ridge of the roof to ensure proper airflow circulation. This allows hot air to rise and escape, preventing damaging condensation buildup inside the attic and helping to maintain the roof's integrity over time.
