Photo Album: Worn Roof Gets Replaced Wonderfully in Sharon, CT

Sharon homeowner Michelle, a returning Brown Roofing customer, reached back out to us after noticing her old three-tab roof had staining, lichen growth, and shingles lifting in several areas. Since we previously installed her gutters, she knew exactly who to call. Inspector Geoffrey performed a detailed roof evaluation and recommended a full replacement to ensure long-term protection. Project Manager Jared and the crew removed all the aging shingles and replaced damaged sections of plywood decking with strong new CDX sheets. A complete underlayment system — including SealoronXT ice-and-water shield and Velora One synthetic underlayment — was installed to bring the roof up to modern standards. The roofing system was finished with IKO Dynasty shingles in Summit Gray, offering durability, enhanced wind resistance, and our trusted 50-year Brown Roofing warranty. New chimney flashing and ventilation upgrades completed the project. Michelle’s home now has a clean, watertight, and high-performance roofing system — beautifully updated and built to last.

Before: Moisture Damaged Shingles

Here's what Michelle's roof looked like before the renovation. The dark, warped shingles show years of moisture damage, and the white spots are lichen growth. Swipe through to see the incredible transformation!

Before: Poorly Adhered

Inspector Geoffrey discovered that the old shingles lifted easily, meaning the nails were loose and the adhesive had completely worn away with age. Definitely time for a new roof.

Prepping the Property

The crew began by carefully removing all of the old shingles. Large protective tarps were hung and laid around the property to catch falling debris and protect landscaping for a clean, efficient teardown.

The Teardown

With the shingles removed, the plywood decking - the structural foundation of the roof - was fully exposed. The crew inspected every section for signs of rot, mold, or decay.

Bad Plywood Is Removed

Any compromised plywood was removed and replaced with strong new CDX sheets, ensuring a sturdy base for the new roofing system.

Seams Are Taped & Ice and Water Shield Is Installed

All plywood seams were sealed with all-weather deck tape to meet building codes, and SealoronXT ice-and-water shield was adhered from the eaves up six feet, along valleys, and around roof penetrations for maximum protection.

Underlayment Is Completed

The remaining decking was covered with Velora One synthetic underlayment, creating a breathable yet water-resistant barrier across the entire roof surface.

New Shingles Are Installed

Time for shingles! Michelle chose the sleek and modern Summit Gray from our IKO Dynasty collection. These Impact-3 rated architectural shingles are proudly backed by our 50-year Brown Roofing warranty.

New Flashing on the Chimney

New chimney flashing was installed where the chimney meets the roof. This thin metal barrier creates a watertight seal that prevents leaks in one of the most vulnerable areas of any roof.
