Photo Album: Protecting a Home for Decades in Seymour, CT

Hubert and Karen, proud homeowners in our hometown of Seymour, reached out to Brown Roofing when it came time to replace their 21-year-old roof. Knowing it was nearing the end of its lifespan, they were drawn to our reputation for top-tier materials and expert craftsmanship—and we were thrilled to welcome them to the Brown Roofing family! Project Manager Carlos and his skilled crew got to work, removing the old shingles, reinforcing the sheathing with high-quality underlayment, and finishing it off with durable, beautiful new shingles. Now, Hubert and Karen can enjoy the peace of mind that comes with a roof built to protect and perform for years to come. Brown Won't Let You Down!

The Teardown

The crew starts the process by tearing off all of the old shingles. This reveals the plywood layer underneath, which is called the sheathing. This is the structural foundation of the roof, and, as such, must be in tip-top condition before the new shingles can be installed. So, after all of the old shingles are off, the crew will closely examine the entire surface for any evidence of damage, such as rot or mold.

Seams Are Taped & New Underlayment Is Installed

The crew determined that the sheathing was in excellent condition and none of the plywood needed to be replaced! It's time to get started on the next step: taping up all of the seams of each sheet of plywood with all-weather deck tape. After that, underlayment is installed over the entire surface. This thin, waterproof material protects the roof from harsh elements that could cause moisture damage, such as rain, snow, and ice.

Ready for New Shingles

After all of the underlayment is installed, a drip edge flashing is nailed into place around all of the edges of the roof. This thin metal barrier prevents water from seeping into the roof, instead directing it away from the fascia and into the gutters. Now we're ready to install the new shingles!

New Shingles

For their new roof, Hubert and Karen have selected the ever-popular shade of Granite Black from our premium-laminated IKO Dynasty collection to perfectly complement their white siding.
