Beautiful roof replacement on this home in Bethany, CT

This home in Bethany, CT had a deteriorating roof that needed to be replaced. This home also had a detached garage that was in the same condition. All around the roof, algae and lichen were growing and causing damage to the shingles. There was also staining from the chimneys and vents. 

These damages compromised the roof and allowed water to seep into the home. To fix this we had to replace the shingles and any damaged wood underneath it. First, we ripped up the old shingles and inspected the decking layer to see if it needed replacing. Luckily the decking layer was in very good shape aside from one section. After that area was replaced we moved on to the sealing layer. This consists of 3 materials, strip tape, Sealeron Ice and Water, and a synthetic underlayment. These three materials work together to create a waterproof yet breathable layer around the decking layer. 

Finally, we can install the shingles and this customer decided on our IKO Dynasty Frostone Gray Shingles. These shingles are installed from the bottom-most corner of the roof to the top-most corner to ensure that they are layered properly and displace as much water as possible. With their new roof in place, this homeowner can now enjoy peace of mind, and be confident that their home, belongings, and everyone inside are safe from the elements.
