Roof Replacement Photo Album: Skylight Gone & Roof Redone in New Milford, CT

Inspector Geoff made his way out to New Milford to meet with homeowner Francisco, who had reached out to Brown Roofing about a roof replacement. With some shingles starting to lift and the roof showing its age, Francisco knew it was time for an upgrade. After learning about our top-tier materials and expert craftsmanship, he felt confident moving forward with us—and we couldn’t agree more! Project Manager Carlos and his skilled crew got right to work, removing the old shingles and replacing damaged plywood where needed. They also took care of a special request—removing an old skylight and expertly sealing it up. With premium underlayment and stunning new shingles installed, Francisco now has a strong, beautiful roof that’s ready for anything. Brown Won't Let You Down!

The Roof Before

Here's a look at Francisco's old roof before the transformation. Swipe through to see just how we did it!

The Teardown Begins

The crew kicks things off by stripping off all of the old shingles. Before they do that, they hang up large, heavy-duty tarps along the edges of the roof to ensure that the property is protected from falling debris. In addition, this makes the cleanup process far more efficient.

The Sheathing Is Exposed

Underneath the old shingles is a layer of plywood called the sheathing. This is the structural foundation of the roof.

Bad Plywood Is Removed

As the structural foundation of the roof, the health of the sheathing is essential. Any sections affected with damage, like rot or mold, have to be removed.

New Plywood Is Installed

The removed sections are replaced with sturdy new CDX plywood, ensuring a strong, solid base for the new roof. Francisco also requested for his skylight to be removed and covered. No problem! The new plywood is precisely fit and securely nailed down into place.

Seams Are Taped & Underlayment Is Installed

Next, a layer of underlayment is installed over the entire surface. This is a thin, water-resistant material that shields the sheathing from harmful elements that could cause moisture damage, such as rain, snow, and ice.

New Shingles Are Installed

Now the roof is ready for the new shingles to be installed! Francisco has selected the stunning shade of Atlantic Blue from our premium-laminated IKO Dynasty collection. These sleek shingles are proudly backed by our 50-year warranty.

Ridge Vent Is Installed

A shingle vent is installed along all of the ridges of the roof to maintain proper attic ventilation, allowing hot, moist air rising from the house a way to escape. A ridge cap is installed on top of the vent to create a seamless finish.
