Roof Replacement Photo Album: Leak- & Lichen-Free Roof Overhaul in Stamford, CT

Matthew in Stamford reached out to Brown Roofing after spotting two major leaks in his ceiling - never a good sign! Inspector Tyler went out to investigate and discovered that years of wear and moisture damage had taken a serious toll, leading to heavy moss and lichen growth. A full roof replacement was the only way to go. After going over the details with Matthew, they put together the perfect plan for a brand-new, long-lasting roof. Then, it was up to Project Manager Bill and his crew to bring that plan to life - and they did just that with skill and precision! They reinforced the sheathing, laid down protective underlayment, and topped it all off with stunning, heavyweight shingles. Now, Matthew’s roof is solid, leak-free, and built to last for years to come. Brown Won't Let You Down!

The Roof Before

Here's a look at Matthew's roof before the replacement. It's seen some better days! Click through to see how we transformed it.

Before: Lichen & Moss

This photo of the roof gives you a closer look at the significant lichen and moss growth, especially around the sides of the skylights. Let's get that cleaned up!

The Property Is Protected

Before the teardown begins, the crew makes sure to set up large tarps to thoroughly protect the property from falling debris. In addition, this also helps make cleanup more efficient.

The Old Shingles Come Off

The crew starts carefully stripping the old shingles off. This reveals the layer of plywood underneath, which is called the roof sheathing.

Sheathing Is Inspected

The roof sheathing is essentially the structural foundation of the entire roof, and it must be in tip-top shape before the crew can proceed. So, the experts closely examine all parts of the sheathing for signs of decay, rot, mold, or other damage - like this section here - and promptly remove those affected parts.

New Plywood Is Installed

Jeremy's roof had plank sheathing. Every removed plank is replaced by brand-new sturdy plywood, precisely cut to fit perfectly where the old piece was, and is securely nailed down to the rafters underneath.

Underlayment Is Installed

Once all of the sheathing is complete, underlayment is rolled out and installed over the entire surface. This thin, water-resistant layer protects the sheathing from harmful elements like wind, rain, snow, or ice.

New Skylight Is Installed

Jeremy's old, water-damaged skylights are replaced by sleek, modern new VELUX skylights.

The New Shingles Go On

Now it's time to install the new shingles! The shingles Brown Roofing stands by are IKO Dynasty premium-laminated, known for their durability and style. These shingles come in a variety of colors, and Matthew has selected the ever-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 that rises from the house a way to escape - eliminating damaging condensation buildup.
