Roof Replacement Photo Album: From Leaky to Leak-Free in Seymour, CT

Inspector Austin met with Linda at her home right here in our hometown of Seymour after she reached out about a pesky roof leak. She wasn’t sure if a repair would do the trick or if it was time for a full replacement. After a thorough inspection, Austin confirmed that a full roof replacement would be the smartest and most long-lasting solution. Once Linda learned about our premium process—featuring top-tier materials and expert craftsmanship—she was excited to get started, and we were just as excited to help! Project Manager Carlos and his skilled crew jumped in to bring the new roof to life. They carefully removed the old shingles, replaced the sheathing with strong, new plywood to create a rock-solid foundation, added protective underlayment, and topped it all off with beautiful, high-quality shingles. Now Linda’s roof is leak-free, stunning, and ready to stand strong for decades to come. Brown Won't Let You Down!

The Roof Before

This is what Linda's roof looked like before the makeover. Click through to see the sleek transformation!

Old Shingles Are Removed

The crew starts by removing all the shingles from the roof, exposing the plywood sheathing beneath. Linda's roof originally had wood shake shingles and skip sheathing. While skip sheathing works well with lightweight shingles that require airflow, it's not strong enough to support the heavier asphalt architectural shingles we're installing.

New Plywood Is Installed

To address this, the crew installs strong, new 1/2" CDX plywood over the skip sheathing, carefully nailing each sheet into place to create a solid, reliable base.

Seams Are Taped & Underlayment Is Installed

With all of the new plywood installed, each sheet is taped at the seams with heavy-duty all-weather tape as an added measure of reinforcement. After that, a layer of underlayment is installed. This is a thin, water-resistant membrane that further protects the roof from harmful elements like rain, wind, snow, or ice.

Ready for New Shingles

Once the underlayment is applied to the entire surface, a thin metal strip called drip edge flashing is secured around the roof's edges. This helps prevent water from getting under the edges, guiding it away from the fascia and into the gutters.

New Shingles Are Installed

Now it's time to start installing the new shingles! For her new roof, Linda has selected the gorgeous shade of Frostone Gray for to perfectly complement her home.
