Roof Replacement Photo Album: Going Leak-Free in Monroe, CT

Mary in Monroe reached out to Brown Roofing after spotting a leak in her bedroom. With her roof being over 20 years old, she wasn’t sure if she needed a simple repair or a full replacement. That’s where Inspector Mat came in! After a thorough inspection, he found extensive lichen and moss growth from moisture damage and determined that a full replacement was the best solution. Mary agreed, and Project Manager Carlos and his crew got to work, tearing down the old roof and building a strong, stunning new one using the best materials and expert craftsmanship. Now, Mary can rest easy knowing her roof will stay beautiful and keep her dry for years to come! Brown Won't Let You Down!

The Roof Before

Here's a look at Mary's roof before the transformation. That lichen is rampant! Click through to see how we transformed it.

Old Shingles Are Removed

The crew kicks things off by stripped the old shingles. This reveals the layer of plywood underneath, which is called the roof sheathing.

Bad Plywood Is Removed & Replaced

As the structural foundation of the roof, the health of the sheathing is crucial. The crew inspects it for any signs of damage, such as rot or mold, and replaces any affected areas with strong new plywood to ensure a solid base for the new roof.

Seams Are Taped & Underlayment Is Installed

As an added measure of reinforcement, the crew tapes up the seams of each plywood sheet with all-weather Sealoron XT deck tape. Next, a layer of underlayment is installed over the entire surface. This thin, waterproof membrane protects the roof from damaging elements like rain, wind, snow, or ice.

New Shingles Are Installed

After the underlayment is fully in place, it's time to start installing the new shingles! For her new roof, Mary selected the sleek shade of Summit Gray from the IKO Dynasty premium-laminated collection.
