Roof Replacement Photo Album: Gorgeous New Roof and Siding Makeover in Greenwich, CT

Inspector Geoff headed to Greenwich to meet with homeowner Kilja, who was ready to give her home a full exterior glow-up. She had her sights set on a brand-new roof and beautiful new siding—and she came to the right place! Geoff walked her through Brown Roofing’s top-tier materials and expert craftsmanship, and Kilja was all in. Once the plan was locked in, Project Manager Noel and his crew got to work transforming her home. They stripped off the old roof and siding, installed brand-new sheathing all around, laid down protective underlayment and insulation, and finished it all off with durable IKO Dynasty shingles and stunning ProVia Willowbrook Super Polymer Vinyl Siding. Now her home is looking totally refreshed, with boosted curb appeal and long-lasting protection to match! Brown Won't Let You Down!

Before: Front View

Here's what Kilja's house looked like before the total makeover. Click through to check out what we did!

Before: Moss & Lichen Takeover

A closer look at Kilja's roof shows that moss and lichen had begun to grow rampant due to years of moisture damage on outdated shingles in a shady environment. Let's get rid of that for good!

The Teardown Begins

The crew kicks things off by stripping all of the old shingles off of the roof. Before the teardown began, the crew hung up large tarps around the edges of the roof to protect the property from falling debris as well as pave the way for a more efficient cleanup process.

The Sheathing Is Exposed

Once all of the old shingles are removed, what's left is a layer of plywood, which is called the sheathing. This is the structural foundation of the roof, and as such, needs to be in tip-top shape before the new shingles can go on.

New Plywood Is Installed

In order to ensure the strongest base, sturdy new 1/2" CDX plywood is installed over top of the old sheathing, precisely cut and nailed down securely.

Seams Are Taped & Underlayment Is Installed

Once the plywood is secured, all the seams are sealed up with heavy-duty all-weather deck tape for added protection. Then, a full layer of underlayment is rolled out across the roof: a water-resistant membrane that shields the sheathing from moisture, wind, snow, and other harsh elements.

Drip Edge Flashing Is Installed

With the underlayment fully in place, the crew installs drip edge flashing along all the roof's edges. This metal component helps direct water away from the fascia and into the gutters, preventing moisture from seeping beneath the roofing and causing damage.

New Shingles Are Installed

Now, we're ready to install the brand-new shingles! Kilja has chosen the highly popular Granite Black from our IKO Dynasty collection to give her roof the perfect finish.

Old Siding Comes Off

The new roof is all set, and now it's time to kick off the siding makeover! Step one: removing all of the old siding. Just like with roofing, the layer underneath is called the sheathing, and it must be in tip-top shape before we can install the new materials. Let's get to it!

New Sheathing for the Exterior

Once again, just like we did with the roof, sturdy new plywood is installed to form the fresh sheathing for the siding. Each seam is sealed up with deck tape to ensure everything is secure and weather-tight.

Insulation Is Installed

A layer of Polar Wrap WeatherAll XL insulation is installed over the entire surface. This polystyrene foam layer ensures thermal protection and also acts as a barrier from harsh elements.

New Siding Is Installed

Now it's time to install the siding! Brown Roofing proudly uses ProVia Willowbrook Super Polymer Vinyl Siding for their strength and curb appeal.

The Finished Look

With a few finishing touches and a thorough cleanup of the entire property, Kilja's entire home exterior makeover is complete, looking fantastic and built to last!
