Roof replacement and repair on this beautiful home in Avon, CT

For this home, we did a shingles replacement and a decking layer repair. There were a few issues with this home, there was algae and lichen growing on the shingles and there was also color fade due to old age. 

To fix these issues we needed to start with the shingles, we started by ripping up the old shingles and inspecting the decking layer below. The decking layer was in very good shape for the age of the home and only two sheets of plywood needed to be replaced. 

Once this was done we laid down decking tape, Sealeron Ice and Water, and a synthetic underlayment. These three layers not only protect the roof but they also help insulate the home. 

With this now done we can finally install the shingles and flashings and this customer decided on our IKO Dynasty Summit Gray Shingles. When installing shingles we always start at the bottom edge and work our way up. We do this to ensure that the shingles are layered properly so water is directed off the roof and away from the home. We install the flashings on any openings in the roof like vents and chimneys. We also install them anywhere the shingles meet the siding. 

Now that this customer has a brand new roof they can have peace of mind knowing that their home will be safe and dry for many many years to come.
