Photo Album: Excellent New Roof Replacement After 30 Years in Bethany, CT

Bethany homeowner John reached out to Brown Roofing when his 30-plus-year-old roof began showing significant staining and early signs of deterioration. Inspector Szymon conducted a detailed evaluation and helped John understand exactly what was needed to restore his home with a modern, long-lasting roofing system. Project Manager Austin and the crew removed the old shingles, replaced damaged sections of plywood with brand-new CDX decking, and installed a full protective underlayment system, including SealoronXT ice-and-water shield and Velora One synthetic underlayment. The roof was finished with IKO Dynasty shingles in Granite Black — a durable, impact-rated shingle backed by our 50-year warranty. A new ridge vent and fresh chimney flashing completed the system. Now, John’s home has a clean, resilient roof built to perform beautifully and protect his home for decades. Brown Won't Let You Down!

A closer look reveals heavy black algae streaking and patches of white lichen across the entire backside of the roof - a clear sign the shingles were well past their life expectancy.

The Teardown Begins

The crew begins by removing all of the aging shingles. Before any tear-off starts, large protective tarps are hung around the home to shield the property and simplify cleanup by catching falling debris.

The Decking Is Exposed

Once the shingles are removed, the decking is exposed. This plywood layer is the structural base of the roof and must be thoroughly inspected for any signs of rot, mold, or water damage. Any compromised areas are taken out.

New Plywood Is Installed

Fresh CDX plywood is installed everywhere damaged decking was removed, creating a solid new foundation for the roofing system.

Seams Are Taped and Ice and Water Shield Is Installed

ach new sheet installed is numbered for easy tracking so that the crew can accurately report back to the homeowner exactly how many new sheets have been used. The seams of each plywood sheet are taped up at the seams with all-weather deck tape to meet current building codes. Ice and water shield membrane is adhered from the eaves up six feet, as well as along all valleys and around each roof penetration.

Underlayment Is Completed

Velora One synthetic underlayment is installed across the remaining surface, forming a durable, water-resistant, breathable barrier.

New Shingles Are Installed

Now for the new shingles! John chose the sleek and modern Granite Black from our IKO Dynasty collection. These Impact-3 rated architectural shingles come backed by our 50-year warranty.

New Ridge Vent Is Installed

A ridge vent is added along the roof peak to allow rising heat and humidity to escape, reducing condensation and supporting a healthier attic environment. Matching ridge caps complete the polished finish.
