Roof Replacement Photo Album: A Storm-Ready Roof Replacement in Beacon Falls, CT

Inspector Tyler traveled to Beacon Falls to meet with Nicholas and assess the condition of his roof. Nicholas had reached out to the Brown Roofing team after struggling with persistent leaks that had been worsened by the recent storms in Connecticut. Upon inspection, Tyler discovered that in addition to the leaks, significant moss and algae growth pointed to widespread water damage, which had deteriorated the shingles' condition. Tyler and Nicholas collaborated to design a new roof that would not only solve these issues but also stand the test of time. Project Manager Austin and his expert crew got to work, replacing damaged sections of the roof decking, applying water-resistant underlayment for added protection, and installing new premium laminated shingles. With the job complete, Nicholas can now rest easy knowing his roof is ready to withstand whatever challenges Mother Nature brings for decades to come. Brown Won't Let You Down!

Before: Moss & Algae

Nicholas's roof exhibited significant moss and algae growth, with moss appearing as green patches and algae as black stains. This accumulation occurs due to the retention of moisture and debris in certain areas.

Besides the moss and algae covering the roof, Nicholas was also dealing with leaks inside the house, so it was definitely time for an upgrade.

The Old Shingles Are Removed

The crew begins by carefully stripping off the old shingles, with large heavy-duty tarps in place to protect the house and landscape.

Bad Plywood Removed & Replaced

Once all the old shingles are removed, the roof decking - the plywood foundation of the roof - is fully exposed. Each sheet of plywood is carefully inspected for rot or mold, and any damaged sections are replaced.

Seams Are Taped & Underlayment Is Applied

Once the decking is secured, the crew reinforces the seams with heavy-duty deck tape. Then, they cover the entire surface with underlayment: a thin, waterproof barrier designed to protect against potential water damage from rain, snow, or ice.

New Shingles Are Installed

With the decking prepared, the crew begins installing the shingles. They use heavyweight IKO Dynasty premium laminated shingles, designed to endure the toughest weather conditions. Nicholas selected Granite Black, our most popular color choice.

Ridge Vents Are Installed

Finally, the crew installs a ridge vent along the roof's peak. This vent promotes proper airflow, allowing hot, humid air from the attic to escape and preventing moisture buildup. Then, matching shingles are placed over the vent to maintain a seamless look.

Nicholas's roof is now fully completed. The new shingles, secure decking, and ridge vent system provide long-lasting protection against the elements, giving him peace of mind for years to come!
