Roof Replacement Photo Album: From Tarp to Top-Tier: Newtown, CT Roof Revamp

Louis in Newtown reached out to Brown Roofing for a much-needed roof replacement - and it’s a good thing he did. He was battling leaks with a tarp, but expert Tyler stepped in to help him design the perfect plan. Project Manager Bill and his crew got to work, replacing damaged decking, reinforcing the structure, and installing premium shingles. They also added a specialized synthetic rubber membrane for the low-slope section. Now, leaks, holes, and tarps are history. Louis’s new roof is built to keep his family safe, dry, and covered for years to come! Brown Won't Let You Down!

Before: Terrible Tarp

Louis's old roof rocked a trusty tarp to fight off leaks. Something really needed to be done about that. Click through to see the incredible transformation!

Is that... duct tape? Well, that's one way to stop a leak - but not the best, and definitely not the most beautiful. Don't worry, we've got this covered!

Removing the Old Shingles

The roof renovation begins by removing the old shingles. Underneath the shingles is a layer of plywood called the roof decking, and it is the structural framework of the roof.

The Decking Is Inspected

After stripping off the shingles, our crew thoroughly inspects the decking for any signs of rot or mold. This sheet didn't pass the test. It, along with any other affected pieces, is replaced with fresh plywood to ensure a solid, healthy base for the new roof.

Seams Taped & Underlayment Applied

With the new decking nailed into place, the crew reinforces every seam with heavy-duty deck tape. Next comes the underlayment: a water-resistant barrier that shields the decking from rain, snow, and ice.

Low-Sloping Roof

This section of Louis's roof had a low slope. In accordance with current building codes, shingles cannot be installed here - instead, a specialized synthetic rubber membrane is installed.

New Shingles Are Installed

After the decking is completely covered in underlayment, the crew gets to work installing the new shingles. The shingles we trust for every roof are superior quality IKO Dynasty premium-laminated. Louis has selected the beautiful color of Frostone Gray for his roof.

A ridge vent is installed at the peaks of the roof to ensure proper air circulation, and after a couple of other final touches, the new roof is complete!
