Photo Album: High Wind Protection Installed in Bethel, CT

Inspector Tyler met with homeowner Christine in Bethel after she reached out to Brown Roofing with some serious roof concerns. High winds had her shingles flapping like crazy, and she knew it was time for a replacement. Tyler walked her through our premium process and expert craftsmanship, highlighting the IKO Dynasty shingles we use—rated for up to 130 mph winds and backed by our 50-year warranty. Christine was confident she found the right team for the job, and we were thrilled to welcome her aboard! Once the plan was in place, Project Manager Bill and his top-notch crew got to work. They stripped off the old shingles, replaced damaged plywood with strong new CDX sheathing, installed protective underlayment, and topped it all off with those stunning, high-performance shingles. Now Christine can rest easy knowing her new roof is solid, secure, and staying put—no matter what the wind throws at it! Brown Won't Let You Down!

The Roof Before

Here is a look at Christine's roof before the renovation. Click through to see how we transformed it!

Rebuilding the Chimney

Before the roofing even began, our expert masons got to work rebuilding the chimney-something we like to take care of first to ensure a smooth roofing process.

The Finished Chimney

Christine's chimney is looking sharper than ever! Now let's get to work on that roof.

The Teardown Begins

The crew kicks things off by carefully stripping off all of the old shingles. Before that, the crew carefully hangs tarps along the edges of the roof to not only protects the homeowner's property from falling debris, but also help speed up the cleanup once the project is done.

The Sheathing Is Examined

Underneath the shingles lies the sheathing. This is a layer of plywood that acts as the structural foundation of the roof. As such, it must be completely free of damage before the new shingles can be installed. Any sections found rot, decay, or mold are promptly removed.

New Plywood Is Installed

Durable new 1/2" CDX plywood is installed in place of the removed areas, ensuring a strong and solid base.

Seams Are Taped & Underlayment Is Installed

The seams of each sheet of plywood are taped up with heavy-duty Sealoron XT deck tape. After that, underlayment is installed over the entire surface. This thin, water-resistant material protects the sheathing from harsh elements like rain, snow, and ice.

Same for the Garage

Simultaneously, the same process is also happening to Christine's garage: old shingle teardown, sheathing inspection and replacement where damaged, and now seams taped and underlayment installed!

New Shingles Are Installed

With the underlayment fully in place, we're ready to start installing the new IKO Dynasty shingles! For her new roof, Christine has selected the highly popular and ever-matching shade of Granite Black to beautifully complement her home.

New Fascia Board Is Installed

Our crew found that the fascia boards on this house were rough and damaged and needed to be replaced. Check out the difference that beautiful bright white makes!

Ridge Vent Is Installed

A ridge vent is installed along the highest points of the roof. This vent ensures proper airflow by allowing hot, moist air that rises from the house a way to escape, eliminating damaging condensation buildup.

The Roof After

After a couple finishing touches like installing a ridge cap over the right vent for a seamless finish and securing flashing around all roof pipes, Christine's new roof is officially finished and looking fantastic!
