Roof Replacement Photo Album: From Leaks to a Strong, Beautiful Roof in Brookfield, CT

Brookfield homeowner Angelo reached out to Brown Roofing after spotting some frustrating leaks around his chimney area. Inspector Szymon went over to give Angelo a thorough roof consultation and explained how our expert process and top-notch materials come together to create the strongest, most reliable roof possible. After learning about how we do things, Angelo was ready to move forward with us—and we were thrilled to get started! Project Manager Carlos and his crew jumped right in, tearing off the old shingles, replacing any rotted plywood, and even building a brand-new chimney cricket to keep the leaks at bay. They installed protective underlayment and topped it all off with beautiful, strong new shingles. Now Angelo’s roof is ready to stand the test of time—strong, stunning, and leak-free! Brown Won't Let You Down!

Prepping the Property

The first step the crew takes is setting up large tarps around the edges of the roof and across the yard to protect the homeowner's property from any falling debris. This also helps make the cleanup process quicker and more efficient.

The Old Shingles Come Off

The crew carefully strips off all of the old shingles, revealing the plywood layer underneath. This is called the sheathing, and it is the structural foundation of the roof.

New Plywood Is Installed

The crew installs fresh plywood to replace any old, rotted sections found during the inspection. In this case, new plywood was added around the chimney, along with a new cricket-a small triangular structure designed to redirect water away from the chimney and prevent potential water damage.

Seams Are Taped & Underlayment Is Installed

To prep for shingles, all plywood seams are sealed with heavy-duty deck tape. Then the crew installs a water-resistant underlayment across the surface to safeguard the roof against the full force of New England weather.

Drip Edge Is Installed

Once the underlayment is securely in place, the crew installs drip edge flashing along the roof's edges. This metal detail ensures water flows away from the fascia and into the gutters, preventing moisture from seeping under the roofing and causing potential damage.

New Shingles Are Installed

Next up, it's time for the new shingles! Angelo went with the cool Graphite Black from our IKO Dynasty collection to match his home's style beautifully.
