Roof Replacement Photo Album: Flat Roof Replacement in Bridgeport, CT

Alex in Bridgeport reached out to Brown Roofing about the flat section of his garage roof, which had been causing drainage issues. Due to updated building codes, shingles can no longer be used on flat roofs, as they trap water and lead to serious moisture damage. After working with Inspector Szymon to create the perfect plan, our roofing crew got to work. They replaced the damaged sheathing with sturdy new CDX plywood and expertly installed a durable SBS (styrene-butadiene-styrene) roof system. Now, Alex’s flat roof is up to code, built to last, and looking better than ever! Brown Won't Let You Down!

The Old Roof

Here's what Alex's flat roof section looked like before. Those shingles have got to go! Click through to see the transformation.

The Teardown

The crew starts things off by stripping the old shingles off of the plywood foundation, which is called the roof sheathing.

New Sheathing

As the structural core of the roof, the sheathing must be in tip-top condition, free from damage or rot. Unfortunately, Alex's sheathing was compromised, but our crew has happy to install brand-new CDX plywood and create a brand-new sheathing.

SBS Base Installed

Now it's time for the new flat roof installation! The SBS (styrene-butadiene-styrene) roofing system is built in two layers for maximum durability. First up is the base layer, which is carefully secured to the sheathing using smoothing tools and a blowtorch, ensuring a strong, weather-resistant foundation.

The New Roof

The final step is installing the cap layer, which is carefully adhered and smoothed out just like the base. With that, the new flat roof is complete - strong, secure, and ready to stand up to the elements for years to come!
