Beautiful new roof on this home in Naugatuck, CT

The shingles on this home were falling apart and desperately needed to be replaced so this homeowner called us out to take a look. When we got to the house we saw that this home had 3 tab shingles. This type of shingle is completely outdated and is no longer used by most in the industry.

Due to the state of the shingles and decking layer, this home definitely needed a full roof replacement. Once we got the green light from the customer, we started on the replacement by ripping up the old shingles and inspecting the decking layer below. The decking layer on this roof happened to be wood lats meaning that we needed to install all new plywood over the existing wood to maintain the structural integrity of the home. Once the decking was done we moved on to the underlayments and we installed our Sealeron Ice and Water, deck tape, and a synthetic underlayment. These three materials work together to cover the whole roof and create a watertight seal around the decking layer.

Lastly, we installed the shingles and flashings, and this customer decided on our IKO Dynasty Granite Black Shingles. When installing the shingles we start at the bottommost edge and work our way across and up to ensure that the shingles are stepped and layered correctly. As we make our way up the roof we install flashings around any penetrations in the roof with the corresponding material. By the end of the day, this customer had a brand new roof that is guaranteed to keep their home dry for the next 50 years.
