Roof Replacement Photo Album: New Milford, CT Home Gets a Roof Rebuild From the Rafters Up

Inspector Austin made his way to New Milford to meet with homeowner Lisa, who had reached out to Brown Roofing for a roof consultation. While her roof wasn’t causing any problems just yet, she knew it was getting up there in age and wanted to stay ahead of the game. Smart move! After Austin walked her through our expert process and explained how we use top-notch materials and skilled craftsmanship, Lisa felt confident moving forward with us—and we were just as excited to help her out! Project Manager Bill and his crew jumped into action, carefully tearing everything down to the rafters and building it back better than ever. They installed brand-new, sturdy CDX plywood for a solid sheathing, added protective underlayment to guard against the elements, and finished it off with beautiful premium-laminated shingles. Now Lisa’s roof isn’t just looking amazing—it’s strong, reliable, and ready to protect her home for years to come! Brown Won't Let You Down!

The Teardown

The first step in the renovation is the teardown. Typically, the crew carefully strips away the old shingles to reveal the plywood layer underneath, known as the sheathing. Since Lisa wanted a full sheathing replacement, the crew began by removing the old sheathing entirely.

New Plywood for a New Sheathing

New, durable 1/2" CDX plywood is installed onto the rafters, securely nailed in place and precisely fitted to create a strong, solid foundation as the roof's new sheathing.

Seams Are Taped & Underlayment Is Installed

All seams of the new plywood sheathing get sealed up tight with high-grade deck tape built to withstand the elements. After that, underlayment is installed to act as an added shield against water, wind, snow, and ice.

Same for the Well

Looks like the well's getting an upgrade, too! Underlayment goes on the well...as well.

Ready for New Shingles

With the underlayment all set, we're almost ready for shingles-but first comes the drip edge flashing. This sleek metal strip gets installed along the roof's edges to help guide water straight into the gutters, keeping it from sneaking under the shingles and damaging the sheathing.

New Shingles Go On

Now we are ready for the shingles! Lisa has chosen the sleek Summit Gray from our IKO Dynasty collection to give her roof the perfect finish.

Ridge Vent Is Installed

A ridge vent is installed along the peak of the roof to allow hot, moist air to escape from the attic, helping to prevent condensation and keep the roof structure healthy.
