Photo Album: Roof Replacement in Ridgefield, CT: Leak-Damaged Roof Fully Rebuilt

Ridgefield homeowner Geoff contacted Brown Roofing after experiencing a persistent roof leak. Inspector Mat completed a detailed evaluation and explained exactly what would be required to give Geoff a long-lasting, watertight roofing system. Project Manager Bill and the crew removed all existing shingles, uncovered damaged plywood decking, and replaced all compromised areas with new CDX plywood. A full underlayment system was then installed, including SealoronXT ice-and-water shield, Velora One synthetic underlayment, and new drip edge and rake metal for edge protection. The roof was finished with IKO Dynasty shingles in Granite Black, an attractive and highly durable option backed by our 50-year warranty. Updated chimney flashing, new ridge venting, and a complete cleanup wrapped up the project. Geoff now has a leak-free, upgraded roofing system built for strength, longevity, and peace of mind. Brown Won't Let You Down!

The Old Roof

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

The Teardown Begins

The crew began by carefully removing all of the old shingles. Underneath them is the plywood foundation of the roof, called the decking.

Bad Plywood Is Removed

As the structural base of the roof, the decking must be in excellent condition. Any areas showing rot, mold, or decay were removed and replaced with strong new CDX plywood.

Seams Are Taped & Ice-and-Water Shield Is Installed

All plywood seams were sealed with all-weather deck tape to meet current building codes. SealoronXT ice-and-water shield was adhered from the eaves up six feet, as well as in all valleys and around every roof penetration, to fully protect the most vulnerable areas.

Underlayment Is Installed

The rest of the decking was covered in Velora One synthetic underlayment, creating a breathable, water-resistant barrier. Drip edge and rake metal flashing were installed along all roof edges to prevent water intrusion and direct runoff into the gutters.

New Shingles Are Installed

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

Same for the Bay Windows

The same premium roofing process was completed across all roof sections, including Geoff's bay windows, ensuring a consistent and durable finish.

Ridge Vent & Cap Are Installed

A ridge vent was installed along the highest points of the roof to allow hot, humid air to escape and prevent damaging condensation. Matching ridge cap shingles were installed over top for a seamless appearance.
