Roof Replacement Photo Album: A Fresh Start for This Roof in Oxford, CT

Oxford homeowner John reached out to Brown Roofing because his roof was over 25 years old and he was noticing a few leaks. He knew it was time for an upgrade! Inspector Austin headed over to give him a thorough roof consultation and explained how we install the best roofs with top-tier materials and craftsmanship. After hearing about our premium process, John was all in and ready to move forward with us—and we were pumped to have him on board! Project Manager Austin and his skilled crew got straight to work, tearing off the old shingles, replacing the sheathing where necessary, adding protective underlayment, and finishing it off with stunning IKO Dynasty shingles. Now, John's roof is not only leak-free, but it’s strong, gorgeous, and built to stand the test of time! Brown Won't Let You Down!

The Teardown Begins

The crew starts off by carefully stripping the old shingles off of the roof, starting at the very top. Before they do that, they hang up large tarps around the edges of the roof and also drape tarps over the yard to ensure the property is fully protected from falling debris and to ensure a quicker cleanup process.

The Sheathing Is Exposed

Underneath the old shingles is a layer of plywood. This is called the sheathing, and it is the structural foundation of the roof. As such, it's important that the sheathing is in tip-top shape. Any sections found with damage, like rot or mold, must be removed and replaced.

Seams Are Taped & Underlayment Is Installed

New 1/2" CDX plywood sheets are securely nailed in where the damaged sheets were removed to ensure a solid base for the roof. Then, all seams are carefully covered with strong, weatherproof deck tape. The crew then installs a full layer of underlayment: a crucial barrier that keeps moisture and extreme weather off the sheathing.

New Shingles Are Installed

We're installing the new shingles now! John selected the popular Granite Black shade from the IKO Dynasty collection to give his roof a sleek, modern touch.

Ridge Vent Is Installed

A shingle vent is installed along the ridge of the roof to ensure proper airflow in the attic, allowing hot, moist air to escape and preventing damaging condensation buildup.
