Roof Replacement Photo Album: Leak Fixed in Ridgefield, CT: Roof Replacement Done Right

Alisa in Ridgefield had been battling a persistent leak in her home. After having it repaired by another roofing company, the leak returned, leaving her frustrated. Fortunately, she called the Brown Roofing team this time! Inspector Darwin conducted a thorough inspection and quickly identified the significant damage throughout the roof. He worked closely with Alisa to devise a plan to give her the roof she had always dreamed of. Project Manager Bill and his skilled crew were excited to take on the full roof renovation. They reinforced the decking and installed top-quality premium-laminated shingles for unmatched durability. To tackle her ongoing gutter clogging issue, our trusted gutter team installed RainDrop Gutter Guards, putting an end to the problem for good. Now, with a stunning new roof made from the finest materials and craftsmanship, backed by our 50-year warranty (and new gutters with a 10-year no-clog guarantee), Alisa can finally relax, knowing her roof is leak-free and built to last! Brown Won't Let You Down!

This photo of the back of Alisa's roof highlights the visible issues, such as wear and tear and staining from moisture damage. The gutters appear clogged, and the lower-story gutters are covered in moss. It's time to begin this renovation!

The Teardown Begins

The process starts with removing the old shingles. Heavy-duty tarps are laid down in advance to protect Alisa's property from falling debris and to streamline the clean-up.

Bad Plywood Is Removed

Beneath the shingles lies a layer of plywood called the roof decking. This is the structural foundation of the roof. Its integrity is crucial. Any sections of the decking showing signs of rot, decay, or mold - like this piece - are removed and replaced.

Seams Taped & Underlayment Applied

Once the decking is inspected and the new pieces are securely nailed down, the crew reinforces it by taping the seams of each plywood sheet with all-weather Sealoron XT deck tape. Following that, a layer of underlayment - a thin, waterproof synthetic felt - is applied across the entire surface to protect the decking from rain, snow, and ice.

New Shingles Are Installed

Finally, the new shingles are installed! Brown Roofing proudly uses IKO Dynasty premium-laminated shingles on all roofs backed by our 50-year warranty. These high-quality shingles come in various shades, and Alisa has chosen the superiorly stunning Frostone Gray for her new roof.

Ridge Vent Installed

A ridge vent is installed at the peak of the roof to ensure proper air circulation. It allows hot, moist air rising from the house to escape, greatly reducing the risk of condensation buildup.

Chimney Is Flashed

New flashing is installed along the side of the chimney where it meets the roof. This thin, water-resistant material prevents water from seeping into joints and crevices.
