Roof Replacement Photo Album: Expert Roof Installation in Easton, CT

Inspector Brian headed out to Easton to meet homeowner Barry, who reached out to Brown Roofing for a new roof. Upon inspection, Brian discovered signs of water damage, with algae, moss, and lichen creeping up in various spots. Together, they crafted a plan for Barry’s dream roof. Once the vision was clear, Project Manager Bill and his expert crew jumped into action. Barry’s roof was a bit more intricate than most, with numerous sections and unique details, but this was no problem for Bill and his team, who showcased their top-tier craftsmanship, delivering exactly what Barry wanted with enhanced sheathing and premium-quality shingles. Now, Barry can rest easy, knowing his roof is built to last and will look stunning for decades! Brown Won't Let You Down!

Before

Here's a look at Barry's roof before the makeover. Click through to see the incredible transformation and the journey we took to get there!

Before: Deteriorating Shingles

In this closer look at Barry's old roof, you can see the splotchy black stains - an indication of roof algae, which is caused by moisture buildup. This not only affects the appearance but also accelerates the rate of deterioration, leading to long-term damage if not addressed.

The Teardown Begins

The crew starts by meticulously removing the old shingles, exposing the plywood layer beneath. This is known as the roof sheathing. This layer serves as the structural foundation of the roof.

Sheathing Examined, Removed, & Replaced

To maintain the roof's stability and integrity, each section of the sheathing is carefully inspected for any signs of rot or decay. Damaged areas are replaced with fresh plywood, and each sheet is numbered for easy tracking by the crew.

Seams Are Taped & Underlayment Is Applied

Once the plywood sheets are securely in place, the seams are taped with heavy-duty deck tape for added reinforcement. Next, a layer of underlayment is applied. This thin, waterproof material shields the sheathing from rain, snow, and ice.

New Shingles Are Installed

Once the sheathing is fully covered in underlayment, the crew begins installing the new IKO Dynasty shingles. These premium-laminated asphalt shingles are a signature of Brown Roofing. Barry chose Granite Black, our most popular color.

After: The Completed Roof

A few final touches are made, including the installation of ridge vents, and flashing - thin, waterproof material designed to prevent water from seeping into vulnerable areas - is placed around the chimneys and pipe vents. With that, Barry's new roof is complete! Here's the after photo, taken from the same angle as the before photo at the start.
