Full roof replacement on the home and detached garage in Seymour, CT

For this job, we ended up doing a full roof replacement for the home as well as the detached garage. The roof on both the home and garage was not in the best condition, especially for its age. 

The first thing we did in this replacement was ripping up the old shingle and inspecting the decking layer below. Both decking layers were rotting and were starting to mold which was caused by water leaking through the shingles and where the shingles meet the siding. We ripped up every sheet of plywood on both buildings and replaced them. Once this was done we laid down decking tape, Sealeron Ice and Water, along with a synthetic underlayment. These three layers work in tandem to seal your roof and home from the elements, they also act as an insulator. 

Finally, we can install the shingles and flashings, when installing the shingles we always start at the bottom and work our way up to ensure the shingles are perfectly overlapping and water is directed into the gutters and off the roof. The flashings are installed on any openings in the roof like vents and chimneys. They are also installed where the shingles touch the siding to help prevent leaks. This roof was fully installed in less than a day, and the customer can have a piece of mind knowing that this roof will protect their home for the rest of their life.
