Roof Replacement Photo Album: Stunning New Roofs for Bethany, CT House and Barn

John and Janet from Bethany reached out to the Brown Roofing team to replace the 25-year-old roofs on their house and barn. With leaks around the chimneys and visible shingle damage from moss and lichen, they knew it was time for a change. After a thorough inspection, Inspector Darwin helped them choose the perfect roof plan for their property. Once the plan was in place, Project Manager Noel and his expert crew jumped in, ready to get to work. They reinforced the sheathing and installed high-quality, brand-new shingles. Now, John and Janet can enjoy peace of mind knowing their house and barn are not only beautiful but built to last for years to come - no more moss, no more lichen... just a strong, stunning roof! Brown Won't Let You Down!

The House Before

Here's a look at the roof of John and Janet's house before the renovation. The fresh look this home will have after the update will be amazing - click through to see it!

The House Before: Moss & Algae

A closer look at this valley shows the intense moisture damage that has occurred to these shingles over the years. The white spots of lichen and green clusters of moss are big signs that it's time to update this roof.

The Barn Before

In addition to their house, we're also going to be performing a stunning transformation on John and Janet's barn!

The Barn Before: Moss City

On this side of the barn, which is more shaded, a lot of moss has taken hold and started to grow. Looks like it's definitely time for some new roofs!

Old Shingles Are Stripped

The crew starts by stripping off all of the old shingles. This exposes the plywood layer underneath, which is called the roof sheathing.

Sheathing Is Examined

The roof sheathing is the structural foundation of the roof. The crew examines it closely for any signs of damage like rot or mold, and any affected areas are promptly removed and replaced with brand-new sturdy plywood.

Seams Are Taped & Underlayment Is Installed

Once the sheathing is properly sorted, the crew tapes all the seams of the plywood sheets with durable, all-weather Sealoron XT deck tape. Then, a layer of underlayment is carefully applied across the entire surface. This thin, water-resistant synthetic felt acts as a protective barrier, shielding the sheathing from the harsh elements like rain, snow, and ice.

New Shingles Go On

Next, it's time to start installing the brand-new IKO Dynasty shingles. These premium-laminated, top-of-the-line shingles are a staple at Brown Roofing for their durability and beauty. The shingles come in many colors, and John and Janet have selected the cool shade of Glacier for both their house and barn.

The Finished House

After a few finishing touches, like securing flashing around the pipes and chimneys and installing a ridge vent along the roof's ridges to ensure proper ventilation, John and Janet's new roof is complete!
