Photo Album: Durable New Flat Roof Installed in Brookfield, CT

Inspector Geoff made his way out to Brookfield to meet with homeowner Maurizio, who was interested in replacing his aging flat roof. The existing SBS (styrene-butadiene-styrene) roofing system had served its time but was starting to show its age—and Maurizio wanted to get ahead of any potential issues. After a detailed inspection and a walk-through of our premium process and top-tier materials, he was excited to move forward with Brown Roofing! Project Manager Austin and his talented crew took it from there, removing the old roofing system, replacing any compromised sections of the sheathing, and installing a brand-new Polyglass Elastoflex SBS roofing system with expert care. Now this Brookfield roof is in peak condition—clean, durable, and built to perform for years to come! Brown Won't Let You Down!

The Old Roof

Here's a look at Maurizio's roof before we renovated it. We're looking a little rough around the edges-so click through to see the shiny new transformation!

Protecting the Property

Prior to removing the old roof, the crew lays out large tarps to fully protect the homeowner's property, ensuring that the house and yard are protected from falling debris-as well as making for a far more efficient cleanup process at the end.

The Teardown Begins

Now the crew can carefully start removing the old roofing system. This reveals the plywood layer underneath, which is called the roof sheathing.

The Sheathing Is Examined

The sheathing is the structural foundation of the roof, and as such, must be in a healthy condition before the new roof can be installed. The crew closely inspects all parts of the sheathing for any evidence of damage, such as rot or mold.

New Plywood Is Installed

Strong new CDX plywood is precisely cut and nailed down, ensuring a solid and sturdy base for the new roof.

SBS Base Is Installed

The first layer of the SBS roofing system is called the base. This is a thin, waterproof membrane that is securely adhered to the sheathing, protecting it from harsh elements that could cause moisture damage like rain, snow, and ice.

SBS Cap Is Installed

Next, the top SBS layer, called the cap, is adhered on top of the base, completing the new roof. Secure new boots are installed around all of the roof pipes. This is a form of flashing that prevents water from seeping into these junctions.
