Roof Replacement Photo Album: Moss & Lichen Eliminated with a New Roof Renovation in Trumbull, CT

Inspector Mat visited Ryan's home in Trumbull for a thorough roof assessment. Heavy moss and lichen growth between the shingles signaled moisture damage, making a total roof replacement the best course of action. After reviewing the findings, Ryan agreed, and together they crafted the perfect plan for his new roof. Project Manager Connor and his skilled crew took it from there, expertly installing brand-new decking and stunning IKO Dynasty shingles. Now, Ryan's home is protected with a strong, beautiful roof that will stay moss- and lichen-free for years to come! Brown Won't Let You Down!

Before: Moss & Lichen

A closer look reveals the significant growth of moss and lichen spots all over Ryan's older style of three-tab shingles. This roof is definitely in need of a transformation. Let's get to it!

The Old Shingles Come Off

After laying out large, heavy-duty tarps to ensure that Ryan's property is completely protected from falling debris, the crew starts to carefully strip the old shingles off of the roof, revealing the wooden foundation - called the roof decking - underneath.

Bad Plywood Is Removed

As the structural foundation of the roof, the health of the decking is essential to the integrity of the new roof. The crew meticulously checks the decking for any signs of damage, like rot or mold, and removes any affected pieces, like this one shown here.

New Plywood Is Installed

The crew found that all of the old roof decking needed to be replaced. With the go-ahead from Ryan, the crew removed all of the old plywood and replaced it with sturdy new 1/2" CDX plywood - carefully fitted and nailed into place on top of the rafters.

Seams Taped & Underlayment Applied

The crew tapes all the seams of the plywood sheets with durable, all-weather deck tape. Then, a layer of underlayment is carefully applied across the entire surface. This thin, water-resistant material acts as a protective barrier, shielding the decking from harsh elements like rain, snow, and ice.

New Shingles Are Installed

After the decking is completely covered in underlayment, the crew gets to work installing the new shingles! The shingles Brown Roofing trusts for every roof backed by our 50-year warranty are superior quality IKO Dynasty premium-laminated, and Ryan has selected the beautiful color of Summit Gray for his new roof.

Ridge Vent Is Installed

Once all the shingles are installed, the ridge vent is placed at the roof's peak. This allows for proper air circulation, enabling hot, moist air to escape and preventing moisture buildup inside the roof.

Chimney Is Flashed

A new flashing is installed on the side of the chimney where it meets the roof. This thin metal acts as a barrier, preventing water from seeping through this junction.
