Brand new roof on this home in Stratford, CT

This home needed a full roof replacement due to a multitude of issues. To start the chimney was not flashed correctly causing water to leak into the home. On top of this, the chimney did not have a cricket therefore water was able to sit instead of being directed off the roof.  Next, the shingles were starting to fail due to poor installation causing half the decking layer to start rotting. These were just a few of the problems on this roof.

To kick off this roof replacement project we removed the old shingles and inspected the decking layer below. We knew already that we needed to replace most of the decking layer due to rot so we made sure to bring plenty of plywood. We also built up a cricket behind the chimney to direct water off the roof. Next, we started on our underlayments. Our Sealeron Ice and Water is the first to go down and this covers all the eaves, headwalls, valleys, and around any penetrations. Next, we tape all the seams on the roof with deck tape, and lastly, we lay down a synthetic underlayment.

Now the roof is ready for shingles, this customer decided on our IKO Dynasty Biscayne Shingles. When installing the shingles we always start at the bottom-most corner and work our way up and across to ensure that the shingles are layered properly. We also flash any penetrations in the roof with the corresponding material.

By the end of the day this home had a brand new roof that the customer loved and will keep them safe and dry for many years to come.
