Full roof replacement on this cute home in Danbury, CT

This home needed a lot of work done to it and our job was to fix the roof. Starting with the problem, the shingles were faded due to old age and they were covered in algae. All the boots around the vents were dry rotted and leaking which was evident from not only the cracks but also the brown water stains.

The first step to this replacement was ripping up all the old shingles and inspecting the decking layer. For this home, the customer wanted a full replacement and this meant replacing every sheet of plywood good or bad. Once this was done we moved on to the sealing layer. This layer consists of three materials that work together to create a waterproof yet breathable seal over the decking layer. These materials are Strip tape, Sealeron Ice and Water, and a synthetic underlayment.

Finally, we installed the shingles and this customer decided on our IKO Dynasty Granite Black Shingles. When installing these we always start at the bottom-most edge to ensure that the shingles are layered properly and effectively direct water off the roof and into the gutters

By the end of the day, this roof was complete and we had another happy family who loved their new roof.
