Roof Replacement Photo Album: High-Quality Roof Replacement in Easton, CT

Inspector Chase headed to Easton to meet with Joe, who was ready for a full roof replacement. After discussing his options, Joe knew Brown Roofing was the team he could trust for top-quality materials and expert craftsmanship. Once the plan was in place, Project Manager Austin and the skilled roofing crew got to work, tackling the job with precision and care. Now, Joe's brand-new roof is looking sharp, built to last, and ready to keep his home safe and dry for years to come! Brown Won't Let You Down!

The Roof Before

Here's what Joe's roof looked like before the renovation. Click through to see how we transformed it!

Protecting the Property

The first step of any project is to lay down large tarps to fully protect the homeowner's property from damage.

Old Shingles Come Off

After the property is thoroughly secured, the crew starts carefully stripping the old shingles off of the roof. This reveals the plywood foundation underneath, which is called the roof sheathing.

Bad Plywood Is Removed

As the structural core of the roof, the sheathing must be in tip-top shape, and any pieces that show rot, mold or other damage - like this piece here - are promptly removed and replaced.

Seams Are Taped & Underlayment Is Installed

As an extra measure of reinforcement, all of the seams of the plywood sheets are taped up with all-weather Sealoron XT tape. Next, underlayment is installed over the entire surface of the sheathing. This thin, waterproof layer of synthetic felt protects the sheathing from harsh elements like rain, wind, snow, or ice.

Drip Edge Is Installed

Drip edge flashing is carefully installed along all roof edges. This metal barrier helps protect the roof's structure by directing water away from the fascia and straight into the gutters, preventing moisture damage and improving drainage. The drip edge is nailed into place, and then also reinforced with Sealoron XT deck tape.

New Shingles Go On

Next, it's time to install the new shingles! Brown Roofing proudly uses IKO Dynasty premium-laminated shingles for all roofs backed by our 50-year warranty. These shingles come in a variety of sleek colors, and Joe has selected the gorgeous Emerald Green for his new roof.

Ridge Vent Is Installed

A shingle vent is installed along the ridge of the roof. This vent ensures proper airflow, allowing hot, humid air rising from the house a way to escape, eliminating damaging condensation buildup.

The Roof After

After a few final touches like securing flashing around all pipes and the chimney as well as installing a ridge cap over the ridge vent for a seamless look, Joe's new roof is complete - built to last and looking great!
