Photo Album: Hamden, CT Roof Transformation with Full Decking Repair

Hamden homeowner Michael reached out to Brown Roofing when his aging roof began showing signs of wear. Inspector Geoffrey performed a detailed evaluation and walked him through the steps needed for a complete, long-lasting roofing upgrade. Project Manager Carlos and his crew removed the old shingles, replaced all damaged sections of plywood decking with new CDX sheets, and installed a full underlayment system including SealoronXT ice-and-water shield and Velora One synthetic underlayment. The roof was then finished with IKO Dynasty shingles in Granite Black, along with new chimney flashing and upgraded pipe boots for a fully watertight system. Now, Michael’s home has a clean, durable, and beautifully updated roof built to protect for decades. Brown Won't Let You Down!

The Roof Before

Here's what Michael's roof looked like before the renovation. Swipe through to see the amazing transformation!

The Teardown Begins

The crew begins by carefully removing all the old shingles. Large protective tarps are hung around the entire perimeter to catch falling debris and shield the homeowner's property, ensuring a safe and efficient teardown.

The Sheathing Is Exposed

Once the shingles are removed, the plywood layer beneath-called the decking-is exposed. This is the structural foundation of the entire roof.

Bad Plywood Is Removed

The decking is thoroughly inspected for any signs of rot, mold, or decay. Any compromised sections are removed to ensure a clean, healthy base.

New Plywood Is Installed

New CDX plywood is installed to replace the removed sections, creating a strong and reliable foundation for the new roofing system.

Ice & Water Shield Is Installed

Every plywood seam is sealed with all-weather deck tape to meet current building codes. Ice-and-water shield membrane is then installed from the eaves up six feet, offering essential protection in vulnerable areas.

Underlayment Is Completed

The rest of the roof is covered in Velora One synthetic underlayment, forming a breathable, water-resistant barrier. Drip edge and rake metal flashing are added along all edges to prevent water infiltration and guide runoff into the gutters.

New Shingles Are Installed

Time for shingles! Michael selected the sleek Granite Black from our IKO Dynasty collection. These Impact-3 rated architectural shingles are proudly backed by Brown Roofing's 50-year warranty.
