Roof Replacement Photo Album: Roof Installation Contractor in Fairfield, CT: A Fantastic Makeover

Inspector Tyler headed out to Fairfield after homeowner Patricia reached out to the Brown Roofing team with concerns about her aging roof. After a thorough inspection, he ascertained excessive moss and algae growth - clear signs of moisture damage. On top of that, a previous repair had left a patch of mismatched shingles, making her roof not only vulnerable but also less than visually appealing. Tyler knew a full replacement was the best solution, and Patricia agreed - it was time for a total upgrade! With a solid plan in place, Project Manager Noel and his expert crew jumped into action. They replaced damaged decking, reinforced the structure with top-tier underlayment, and installed stunning new shingles to create a roof that’s as strong as it is beautiful. Now, Patricia doesn’t have to worry about moisture damage or mismatched patches - her new roof is built to last with the highest quality materials and expert craftsmanship in Western Connecticut. And with our 50-year warranty backing it up, she’s set for decades of durability and style! Brown Won't Let You Down!

The Old Roof

Here's a "before" photo of Patricia's roof. Click through to see the stunning transformation!

Before: Mismatched and Algaefied

A closer look at the old roof shows not only mismatched shingles from a roof repair, but also quite a bit of green and black roof algae growth. Let's get rid of these issues once and for all!

The Teardown Begins

The crew starts things off by tearing off the old shingles. Before they begin this step, large tarps are carefully spread across the lawn and over the house, ensuring that no falling debris damages the property. These tarps also make cleanup a simpler process.

The Decking Is Exposed & Examined

Underneath the shingles is a layer of plywood, known as the roof decking. This is the structural core of the roof, and its health is essential. After all of the old shingles come off, the crew carefully inspects the decking for any signs of mold, rot, or other decay.

New Plywood Is Installed

Any rotted and damaged areas of the decking are removed and replaced with brand-new sturdy CDX plywood, ensuring a strong foundation for the new roof.

New Underlayment Is Installed

With all of the new decking in place, a layer of underlayment is installed over the entire surface. This protective material shields the decking from harsh elements such as wind, rain, snow, and ice.

New Shingles Are Installed

Next, it's time to start installing the new IKO Dynasty premium-laminated shingles. These shingles are a Brown Roofing favorite, known for their durability and beauty. Patricia has selected the sleek and sophisticated color of Granite Black for her new roof.

Ridge Vent Is Installed

A ridge vent is installed along the highest point of the roof. This vent ensures proper roof aeration by allowing hot, humid air rising from the house a means to escape - preventing damaging condensation buildup.

New Pipe Flashing Is Installed

New flashing is secured to all pipe vents on the roof. This thick, strong material is called a pipe boot, and it prevents water from seeping through vulnerable junctions.

The Roof Is Complete

After a couple final touches, like installing flashing along the side of the chimney and installing a ridge cap over the ridge vent to ensure a seamless look, Patricia's new roof is finished!
