Roof Replacement Photo Album: From Worn to Wonderful with this Wolcott, CT Home

When Wolcott homeowner John decided it was time for a full roof replacement, he knew exactly who to call - Brown Roofing. Inspector Austin walked him through the process, and John was excited to upgrade with the best materials and top-tier craftsmanship in Western Connecticut. Once everything was set, Project Manager Bill and his skilled crew got to work, stripping away the old shingles, reinforcing the sheathing, and installing stunning new IKO Cambridge shingles. Now, John's roof is built to last, standing strong and looking great for years to come!

The Roof Before

Here's what John's roof looked like before the renovation. Click through to see the awesome transformation!

Old Shingles Are Removed

The crew starts things by stripping the old shingles off. Large tarps are laid across the property in order to protect it from falling debris as well as making the cleanup process more efficient.

New Plywood Is Installed

Underneath the old shingles is a layer of plywood called the roof sheathing. As the structural foundation of the roof, it's important that there are no damaged areas like rot, moisture, or mold. Any affected areas are removed and replaced with sturdy new CDX plywood.

Seams Are Taped & Underlayment Is Installed

The seams of each plywood sheet are taped up with all-weather Sealoron XT deck tape. Next, underlayment is installed over the entire surface. This is a thin, waterproof material that shields the sheathing from brutal elements like rain, wind, snow, or ice.

New Shingles Are Installed

Now it's time to install the new shingles! For his new roof, John has selected the beautiful Earthtone Cedar shade from the IKO Cambridge collection.

Ridge Vent Is Installed

Next, a shingle vent is installed along the ridge of the roof to keep airflow in check. This smart addition lets hot, humid air escape, preventing condensation buildup that could lead to damage over time.
