Roof Replacement Photo Album: Tackling Missing Shingles and Lichen in Danbury, CT

Inspector Geoff headed out to Danbury to meet with homeowner Tony for a full roof inspection and consultation. Tony's roof had definitely seen better days, as now there were missing shingles and some seriously stubborn lichen growth. After Geoff walked him through our trusted process and explained how we use top-quality materials and expert craftsmanship, Tony was totally on board. Once the plan was in place, Project Manager Bill and his talented crew got to work. They removed the old shingles, replaced any damaged sheathing, installed tough protective underlayment, and finished it off with sleek, durable new shingles. Now Tony’s roof looks fantastic and is built to keep his home safe and dry for decades to come. Brown Won't Let You Down!

Before: Missing Shingles

In this closer look at the old roof, you can spot some serious lichen growth and a few missing shingles to boot. No doubt about it, it's time for a fresh new roof, and we're ready to get started!

The Teardown Begins

The crew starts things off by carefully stripping all of the old shingles off of the roof. Once the shingles come off, the plywood sheathing underneath is revealed. It's what gives the roof its strength and support.

Bad Plywood Is Removed

As the structural foundation of the roof, the sheathing must be in tip-top shape. The team carefully checks for any signs of damage-like mold or rot, as evident on this sheet of plywood here-and removes the affected sections.

New Plywood Is Installed

The damaged sections are replaced with sturdy new 1/2" CDX plywood. Each sheet is clearly numbered so the crew can keep precise track and provide the homeowner with an accurate report of how many were installed.

Seams Are Taped & Underlayment Is Installed

To further support the sheathing, every seam between the plywood sheets is sealed with durable deck tape. After that, the crew lays down a layer of protective underlayment to guard against rain, wind, ice, and snow.

New Shingles Are Installed

Now it's time for the new shingles! Tony went with the phenomenal Frostone Gray from our IKO Dynasty collection to match his home's style beautifully.
