Trusted Roofing & Gutter Installation Company in Norwalk, CT

This Norwalk, CT home needed a roof replacement that required careful attention around the chimney, dormers, roof-to-wall transitions, and window areas. These sections are common leak-prone spots, so proper preparation and flashing details were critical.

Brown Roofing removed the old roofing materials, inspected the roof deck, replaced compromised decking, taped the seams, and installed protective underlayment. The crew then completed the roof with IKO Dynasty Brownstone shingles, giving the home a warm, natural look that blends beautifully with the wooded property.

This project reflects Brown Roofing’s experience, detailed workmanship, and commitment to building a complete roof system designed to protect the home from New England weather.

Norwalk, CT homeowner Jennifer contacted Brown Roofing after learning her roof had several soft spots and had last been replaced in 1990. During the initial call, she shared concerns raised by her lawn and gutter contractor, along with visible wear and access to the attic for inspection.

Inspector Austin performed a comprehensive roof and attic inspection, identifying extensive exterior damage including torn and missing shingles, moss and algae growth, and compromised roof decking visible from inside the attic. Austin walked Jennifer through our recommended approach, materials, and installation process, helping her feel confident moving forward with a full roof replacement.

Project Manager Chris and his crew began by removing the existing roofing materials and closely inspecting the plywood roof decking. Any areas affected by rot or moisture damage were removed and replaced with new ½-inch CDX plywood to create a solid, reliable foundation.

Once the decking was secured, ice and water shield was installed along the eaves, valleys, and roof penetrations, with all seams sealed using all-weather deck tape to meet building codes. Velora One synthetic underlayment was then applied across the remaining surface, followed by drip edge and rake metal to direct water away from the fascia and into the gutter system.

Jennifer selected IKO Dynasty architectural shingles in Summit Gray, backed by The Brown Promise: our 50-year warranty. Ridge ventilation and matching ridge cap shingles were installed to improve airflow and reduce moisture buildup, and all flashing around roof penetrations and the chimney was carefully secured. After a thorough cleanup, Jennifer’s new roof was complete, delivering long-lasting protection and a clean, finished look designed to keep her home safe and dry for years to come.

Norwalk homeowner Matt reached out to Brown Roofing in search of a full roof replacement. Inspector Darwin came out to assess the property, walked Matt through our process and materials, and after a thorough consultation, they felt confident moving forward with us.

Project Manager Noel and his expert crew got started by removing the old shingles and inspecting the plywood foundation beneath, known as the sheathing. Any damaged sections, including areas with rot or mold, were replaced with strong half-inch CDX plywood to ensure a solid, long-lasting base.

With the foundation secured, the team installed ice and water shield from the eaves up six feet, sealed seams with all-weather deck tape to meet building codes, and covered the remaining surface with Velora One synthetic underlayment. Drip edge and rake metal flashing were added to the roof’s perimeter to help direct water away from the fascia and into the gutter system.

Matt chose the crisp, cool shade of Frostone Gray from our IKO Dynasty shingle collection, backed by The Brown Promise: our 50-year warranty. A ridge vent was installed to allow heat and humidity to escape from the attic, helping to prevent condensation and improve ventilation. Ridge cap shingles were added on top for a polished, finished look.

After final touches, including flashing around roof penetrations and a full property cleanup, Matt’s new roof is officially complete: sleek, secure, and ready to take on whatever the seasons bring.

Norwalk homeowner Solomon needed a full roof replacement for his house, so he called Brown Roofing. He had recently purchased the home, and the inspector had informed him that the roof was nearing the end of its life. Inspector Coleton went out to take a look and confirmed this, noting the shingles were heavily worn from years of harsh Connecticut weather. Coleton walked Solomon through our process and materials, and they felt confident moving forward with us, and we were so glad they did!

Project Manager Noel and his expert crew got to work. They removed the old shingles and examined the plywood foundation underneath, called the sheathing, for any signs of damage. All damaged areas, including any rot or mold, were removed and replaced with strong half-inch CDX plywood to ensure a solid, lasting base. With the sheathing secured, the crew installed ice and water shield from the eaves up six feet, sealed all seams with all-weather deck tape as per building code, and covered the remaining surface with Velora One synthetic underlayment. Drip edge and rake metal flashing were then installed around all edges to prevent water from seeping in, helping direct runoff away from the fascia and into the gutters.

Next, it was time for shingles. Solomon selected the sleek shade of Granite Black from our IKO Dynasty collection, which is proudly backed by The Brown Promise: our 50-year warranty. A ridge vent was added to promote airflow and eliminate damaging condensation buildup inside the attic, and ridge cap shingles were installed on top for a seamless, finished look.

After a few final touches, like securing all flashing around the roof pipes and chimney, and a thorough property cleanup, Solomon’s new roof was complete: gorgeous, durable, and ready to keep him and his family safe and dry for whatever Mother Nature brings their way.

Kenneth in Norwalk reached out to Brown Roofing for a full roof replacement, and we were happy to help. Inspector Brian went out to do a full evaluation and walk Kenneth through his options, explaining how our process, materials, and warranties make us the best choice for long-lasting protection. Once the plan was in place, Project Manager Connor and his expert crew got to work.

They began by removing all of the old shingles and inspecting the plywood decking underneath, ensuring a solid foundation. Any necessary decking repairs were made, and then the crew taped all seams, applied ice and water membrane, and installed synthetic underlayment to protect the entire roof system. For the majority of the roof, Kenneth chose IKO Dynasty premium-laminated shingles in the popular shade of Granite Black, giving his home a bold, clean look.

One section of Kenneth’s roof had a low slope, which required a different approach. To ensure proper waterproofing in that area, the crew installed EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer) synthetic rubber roofing, a durable, weather-resistant solution that’s perfect for low-slope applications.

Now, Kenneth has a strong, beautiful roof that’s built to last, with every section protected and performing its best.
