Complete roof replacement on this home in Milford, CT

For this home, we did a full roof replacement, the first step to this was inspecting the damage. This home was suffering from old age and algae growth. Next, we ripped up the old shingles to inspect the damage underneath, and to no surprise, there was rot on the decking layer. To fix this we ripped the old boards and checked to see if the rafters were also rotting, and luckily they were not. After this, we installed a brand new decking layer with ¾ sheets of plywood to ensure the rigidity of this roof. Next, we laid down decking tape, Sealeron Ice and Water, and a synthetic underlayment. These three layers not only act as another layer of protection for the roof but also as an insulator, creating a more energy-efficient home. Finally, we can install the shingles and the way we install them is by starting at the bottommost edge and working our way up. We layer them in this way to ensure that water is properly directed off the roof and not under the singles. As we work our way up the roof we also install flashings on any openings in the roof like vents and chimneys. We also install them anywhere shingles meet the siding. We made sure to complete this roof in just one day to ensure that we impeded the least on this homeowner's daily routine. Now they have a brand new roof and can be confident knowing that their home will be safe and sound all year round!
