Roof Replacement Photo Album: From Leaking to Lasting Protection: Roof Replacement in Stamford, CT

When Stamford homeowner Maynard noticed a leak in his roof, he knew it was time to call Brown Roofing. Inspector John went out to investigate and discovered that, thanks to age and a shoddy installation by a previous roofing company, a simple repair wouldn’t cut it - Maynard needed a full roof replacement. After reviewing the findings, Maynard knew Brown Roofing was the team he could trust to get the job done right. And what a great decision that was! Once the plan was in place, Project Manager Connor and his expert crew got to work, tackling the project with skill and efficiency. They replaced large sections of sheathing with sturdy plywood, reinforced everything with a strong underlayment, and topped it all off with stunning, heavyweight shingles. Now, thanks to expert craftsmanship and the best materials on the market, Maynard can enjoy total peace of mind - his new roof is built to last, and those pesky leaks are a thing of the past. Brown Won't Let You Down!

The Roof Before

Here's what Maynard's roof looked like before the replacement. Click through to see how we transformed it!

Before: Moss Under Shingles

A closer look shows a lot of moss growth under the shingles - indicating heavy moisture and debris buildup that is actively deteriorating the shingles. Let's get this new roof on!

Old Shingles Are Stripped

The crews starts the process by carefully removing the old shingles from the roof. This exposes the plywood layer underneath, which is called the roof sheathing.

Sheathing Is Inspected

As the structural core of the roof, the sheathing must be in tip-top shape. The crew closely examines the entire surface for signs of damage, rot, or decay, and any affected areas - like these ones here - are removed.

Bad Plywood Is Removed

The experts found that most of the sheathing was too damaged to keep. After receiving the go-ahead from Maynard, the crew removed almost all of the old plywood and prepped the rafters for an all new installation.

New Plywood Is Installed

Brand-new sturdy sheets of 1/2" CDX plywood replace the old sheathing. Each sheet is precisely cut to fit securely into the existing framework of the roof. They are also all numbered for easy tracking, so that the crew can accurately report back to the homeowner on how many sheets were installed.

Seams Are Taped & Underlayment Is Installed

Each sheet of plywood is taped at the seams with strong all-weather deck tape. Next, underlayment is installed over this entire surface. This is a thin, waterproof layer of synthetic felt that protects the sheathing from rough conditions like wind, rain, snow, and ice.

New Shingles Are Installed

Next, it's time for the new shingles! Brown Roofing proudly uses IKO Dynasty premium-laminated shingles - known for their durability and beautiful curb appeal - for all roofs backed by our 50-year warranty. Maynard has selected the popular shade of Granite Black for his new roof.

Ridge Vent Is Installed

A shingle vent is installed along the ridge of the roof. This vent ensures proper airflow by allowing hot, moist air rising from inside of the house a way to escape, eliminating the chance of harmful condensation buildup.

New Flashing Is Installed on the Chimney

The chimney receives new flashing around the base where it meets the roof. This thin metal barrier creates a watertight seal, preventing moisture from seeping in through this vulnerable junction.
