Roof Replacement Photo Album: Staying Ahead of Roof Trouble in Bethlehem, CT

Rebecca in Bethlehem reached out to Brown Roofing because she wanted to get ahead of any potential roof problems. She wasn’t dealing with any leaks or damage, but she was curious about the condition of the wooden foundation beneath her shingles and wanted to take care of any issues before they had a chance to start. Inspector Chase checked things out and found signs of moisture damage and lichen growth. After going over the details, Rebecca was all in on getting a new roof. With the plan in place, Project Manager Connor and his crew got to work and made it happen. Once the old shingles came off, the crew was happy to find that Rebecca’s plywood foundation was still in great shape. To keep it that way, they reinforced it with strong underlayment before installing fresh IKO Dynasty premium-laminated shingles. Now, her roof is looking great, lichen-free, and built to last! Brown Won't Let You Down!

A closer look at the roof shows significant lichen growth on the shingles. This invasive, algae-like plant thrives in shingle-deteriorating moisture. Let's get started on that new roof!

Protecting the Property

Before the teardown begins, the crew lays down large tarps and plywood boards to protect the property from falling debris. In addition, it makes the cleanup process more efficient.

Old Shingles Come Off & Decking Is Exposed

The crew strips the old shingles off, revealing the plywood foundation underneath, which is called the roof decking. The decking is thoroughly inspected for any signs of damage, rot, or mold.

Seams Taped & Underlayment Installed

The crew found that the decking was in tip-top shape, and no plywood needed to be replaced. As an added measure of reinforcement, the crew tapes the seams of each sheet with strong all-weather deck tape. Next, a layer of underlayment is installed over the entire surface. This thin, waterproof membrane further protects the decking from damaging elements like wind, rain, snow, or ice.

New Shingles Go On

Now it's time for the crew to install the new shingles! Brown Roofing proudly uses IKO Dynasty premium-laminated architectural shingles for all roof backed by their 50-year warranty. These shingles come in a variety of colors, and Rebecca has selected the sleek shade of Brownstone for her new roof.
