The owner of the building we worked on had constant roof leaks. We explained that the roof was too flat and that water would accumulate in different areas and eventually seep through the roof. We repaired the roofs damaged areas and then increased the pitch so water will flow off more naturally!

There are a wide variety of gutter types to choose from at Brown Roofing, but copper gutters and downspouts were the right call for this Ridgefield home. They add a perfect touch to the wood siding and Owens Corning shingles. Besides it's durability, one of the most unique features of copper siding is that it will change color throughout its lifetime. The gloss will doll down in the beginning, turning brown. and will eventually patina into a beautiful green.

We received a call from a Stratford home owner because she was concerned about the condition of her roof after the wind storms. From the ground, the roof looked fine but that's why we do inspections. Once up on the ladder, we noticed a tremendous amount of damage from ice damming as well as multiple missing shingles from the heavy and consistent wind gusts. If you notice water coming into your house from the attic, or you are concerned after a big storm, give Brown Roofing a call.

For this particular job, we assigned three specialized teams: one for roof replacement, one for gutter installation, and one for siding installation. We follow a systematic approach when handling projects where customers require multiple improvements to their homes. This ensures both safety and efficiency throughout the process.

We begin by focusing on the roof, as it exhibited damage, and significant algae growth and it is the safest to start with. We also noticed portions of the roof drooping inward, indicating potential issues with the decking layer or rafters. Once we received the green light to proceed, our team swiftly initiated the demolition phase. Demolition is typically the quickest and easiest step, and it's always exciting. To protect the house from any potential damage, we lay tarps, securely nailing them to the roof's edge. By extending the other end of the tarps outward, we create a slide for the waste material. This method ensures that the house's siding and plants beneath the roof remain in pristine condition.

 After completing the demolition, we move on to the next step, which involves analyzing the roof and identifying necessary repairs. Before commencing the work, we always dispatch someone to inspect the property. This preliminary assessment provides us with a better understanding of the project requirements, although unexpected changes can still occur. Fortunately, in this case, only the plywood decking layer was found to be rotting, and the rafters were unaffected. We proceed to remove the old layer and replace it with a new one. The subsequent stage involves installing the underlayment and Ice and Water protection. Ice and Water are applied to vulnerable areas such as edges, valleys, and eaves to prevent damage caused by ice and water. It also mitigates the risk of ice dams, which can be hazardous. The underlayment is then laid in areas not covered by Ice and Water, overlapping it to provide an extra layer of sealing for the roof.

Finally, we install the shingles and flashings. During the shingle installation process, we start from the bottom of the roof to ensure proper layering without any gaps that could allow water to leak through. As we progress upward, we incorporate flashing around roof openings, such as vents and chimneys, to ensure a watertight seal. Once all the shingles are securely in place, we finish the roof by installing ridge vents.

On the second day of the project, we focus on gutter installation. This task typically requires less time compared to roof and siding installation. For this specific home, we opted for our 6K gutter system, which not only enhances the property's value but also effectively redirects water away from the house, protecting it from potential damage.

Lastly, on the third day, we remove the old siding and install brand new siding. The homeowner chose our Cedar Peaks Premium Blue Siding, which beautifully complements the new roof and gutters. The transformation is truly remarkable, and within just a few days, the house undergoes a complete makeover.

By following this meticulous and organized approach, we ensure that each step of the project is executed with precision and attention to detail, resulting in a stunning and functional outcome for our valued customers.

Our team did a full roof repair and replacement on this home, this home had many issues but the biggest was the roof's condition. Due to the home's location and tree coverage, there was substantial moss growth on the shingles. This moss causes all sorts of problems for the homeowners. When moss builds up on shingles it causes water to be trapped between the shingles and this water makes its way through the gaps in the shingles and this ends up causing the decking layer and rafters to rot. 

Ripping up the old and damaged shingles is the first step to this roof replacement. These shingles came up quickly due to old age. Next, we gave another look at the decking layer to make sure the plywood was not rotting. As we expected most of the sheets were starting to rot and we saw some mold growth we ripped up all the rotting plywood and replaced it with brand-new sheets. 

After the decking layer is repaired we can start laying down the three layers that go in between the shingles and decking layer. The first thing that goes down is the seam tape and this tape goes over all the seams created by the plywood, this tape is just another layer of protection. Next Ice and Water is laid down and this is installed on all the edges, valleys, and eaves.  Finally, we lay down the final layer and this is called the underlayment. This layer covers the rest of the roof that is not covered by the Ice and Water. All of these layers act as a barrier in case the shingles are damaged from a storm or other outside forces, they also help insulate the roof helping to create a more energy-efficient home. 

Finally, we install the shingles and this is done starting at the bottom of the roof to the top to ensure that they are layered properly. As we work up the roof we install flashings around all the vents, siding, and chimneys. 

Over the span of one day, this roof was completed from start to finish. This homeowner can be confident knowing that their roof is guaranteed to keep them safe and dry for the next 50 years.

This family reached out to us due to their leaky roof. After the appointment was made and the date rolled around Mat Bey went out to this customer to inspect the roof and come up with a game plan with the homeowner. 

After walking around the property with the customer and inspecting the roof, Mat came up with a quote and timeline for the job. After reviewing with the homeowner and deciding on a price, our production team got the green light to start the demo. 

The first step in the roof replacement process is ripping up the old shingles and taking another in-depth look at the decking layer below and that's just what we did. When ripping up the old shingles it's imperative to be alert and aware of your surroundings. It’s important for our guys to know what things could be damaged or broken near the work site. In these cases, we take precautions like leaning two sheets of plywood against each other to make a shelter for bushes and plants. We also always staple a tarp to the edge of the roof and place the other end on the ground making a slide for the old materials ensuring nothing ends up in the lawn.

Now that the old shingles were off the roof our project manager inspected the roof and came to the conclusion that many of the sheets needed to be replaced due to mold and rot. This roof had very few damages that stood out from afar but close up there were many holes that allowed for water to seep through causing this mold and rot. We ripped up the old plywood and replaced them with brand-new sheets. 

The next step in this process is to lay down Sealeron Ice and Water, a synthetic underlayment, and decking tape. The decking tape is put down on all the seams created by the plywood. The Ice and Water are laid down on all the eaves, rake edges, overhangs, and valleys. The standard required by code is to lay down only two feet of material but we install six feet to ensure proper coverage. Now for all the remaining areas that are not covered by the Ice and Water, we install the underlayment. These three layers offer an extra barrier to stop water and anything else that tries to enter your home. 

Finally, it is time to install the shingles! For shingles we always start at the highest level roof but at the bottom edge and work our way up. As we work up we strategically layer the shingles to ensure the water runs off as efficiently as possible. Also, we install flashings around any vents, chimneys, and any other openings in the roof.

With this brand new roof, this homeowner can be certain that there will be no more water leaking through the roof for many many years to come and can feel even more confident knowing that their new roof is under warranty for 50 years. 

This customer contacted us explaining that they had a leak in their roof and that there were water spots on their ceiling. Immediately we set up an appointment on a day that worked for the customer and once that day rolled around our representative Geoffrey met with the homeowner.

During this meeting, he walked around the property inspecting the roof as well as the home. He also got on the roof and inside the attic to get a closer look. After the inspection process, he sat with the customer to walk them through the process along with putting together a quote.

Once an agreement was made we moved on to phase two which was getting a new roof on this home. Our Project Manager for this job was Carlos, and together with his team, they were able to finish the whole roof in just one day. 

The first step was to rip up the old shingles and take a better look at the decking layer below. This roof had had two lawyers of shingles which is an outdated practice used to save money, but today it's usually frowned upon. Once the shingles were up we moved on to the decking layer and this is where we discovered the problem. Due to the double layer, there were gaps throughout the roof and these gaps were letting in water. This water is then absorbed into the decking layer rotting it and causing mold to grow. Once the plywood was fully soaked, mold water would travel through into the home. 

Step two. We quickly ripped up the old decking layer and disposed of the mold. Once this was up we installed a new plywood decking layer. For this layer, we used ¾ plywood which was thicker than what was previously used.  

After this is done we can move on to the next step which is laying down decking tape, Sealeron Ice and Water, and a synthetic underlayment. The decking tape goes down first and this is laid on all the seams created by the plywood. Next is the Ice and Water. This is laid down on all of the eaves, rake edges, overhangs, and valleys. Finally, we installed the underlayment which covers every section not covered by the Ice and Water. These three layers act as extra protection against the elements and leaks, they also help further insulate the roof. 

For Step four, the final step we installed the shingles and this customer decided on our IKO Dynasty Granite Black Shingles. When installing shingles we always start at the bottom edge and work our way up to ensure that they are layered properly and can effectively direct water off the roof. As we work our way up we install flashings on all the vents, chimneys, and skylights. 

By the end of the day, this homeowner had a beautiful new roof that will keep them safe and dry for a lifetime and they can have peace of mind knowing that their roof is under warranty for 50 years.  

This homeowner reached out to us regarding the condition of their roof. They called due to the sheer amount of moss, lichen, and algae. When they called in stating that it was bad we assumed there would be some moss and that it was nothing to be too concerned about, but how wrong we were. 

When Mat Bey went out to this home he was astonished by the sheer amount of growth on this roof. All this growth was because of the home's location and the amount of direct sunlight the roof gets daily. This house was built in a beautiful forest but allowed virtually no sunlight.

After Mat went through our process and did an inspection with the customer and they were confident that going with us was the right choice we got straight to work. The first step to replacing the roof was ripping up the old shingles which were much heavier than usual due to the moss. Once this was done we looked at the decking layer and we were surprised to see that it was in decent condition for how the shingles looked. The customer did not want to take any chances so they decided to replace all the sheets of plywood. 

Next, we laid down decking tape, Sealeron Ice and Water, and a synthetic underlayment. The decking tape is installed on all the seams created by the plywood sheets, and the Ice and Water are installed on all eaves, rake edges, overhangs, and valleys. It is required by code that two feet of Ice and Water is laid down but we take this a step further and lay down six feet to add extra protection to the home. Next is the underlayment and this is installed on every surface that is not covered by Ice and Water. The mixture of these three products ensures that even if the shingles are damaged the roof will not leak. This layer also helps insulate the roof making the home more energy efficient.

Finally, we could install the shingles and this customer decided on our IKO Dynasty Granite Black Shingles. When we install shingles we always start at the bottom edge and work our way up to ensure that they are layered properly and efficiently direct water off the roof. As we work our way up we also install flashings around all openings in the roof such as vents and chimneys. 

Now that the roof was installed this customer can be confident that their home will be safe and dry, But you may be wondering. Isn’t this just going to happen again? It would if we didn’t make one change. When installing this roof we used copper nails instead of the typical iron nails. When copper oxidizes it releases an inorganic compound called copper sulfate which kills plant growth. So, with these nails on the roof the moss, lichen, and algae don’t stand a chance and don’t worry this won’t affect any plants on the ground around the home.

This New Fairfield homeowner called in for us to investigate the water leaking into his son's bedroom. Upon inspection we discovered the cause of the leak and provided an estimate for a repair as well as a replacement. Our homeowner knew that if there was one leak there could be more and opted to replace the entire room. Easy financing with monthly payments made the decision that much easier.

Our homeowner in Stratford purchased this home a little over a year ago. The home inspection claimed the roof was fine. After experiencing a leaking skylight, our inspection, Mat not only revealed the problem but also exposed rotted and moldy decking. Lot's of it. The homeowner agreed to replace the entire roof.

Our crew, under the direction of Project Manager Bill, tore off the roof, replaced and sealed the decking, wrapped it in ice & water shield and replaced the shingles with IKO Dynasty shingles with ArmourZone in Atlantic Blue. Now our homeowner is "Roof Worry Free" with the Brown Roofing 50 Year Warranty!
