This job was massive, this roof was over 4,800 square feet with complicated gable dormers. There were spots all around the front side of the home that were covered in lichen. Even on a hot sunny day, the front of the roof remained cool and damp which signified that there was major water damage within the roof.
The first thing that we did was rip up the old shingles. After that, we could take a better look at the decking layer below. Sure enough, the roots of the lichen reached the plywood allowing water to seep through into the home. This water causes the decking layer to rot and mold over time.
Next, we ripped up every rotting piece of plywood and replaced them with brand-new sheets of plywood. Once this was done we laid down decking tape, Sealeron Ice and Water, and a synthetic underlayment. These three layers help insulate the home and they also help seal the home from the elements.
Finally, we can install the shingles and flashings. When installing the shingles we always start at the bottommost edge so the shingles overlap properly. We install the flashings over any openings in the roof like vents and chimneys, but 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 sound all year round.

In Hamden, homeowner John reached out to Brown Roofing knowing his 30-year-old roof had reached its limit. Inspector Brand’s inspection revealed aging three-tab shingles with algae, moss, and clear signs of deterioration. After going over our process and materials, John felt confident choosing Brown Roofing for his replacement. Under the leadership of Project Manager Geury, our crew carefully tore off the old roof, repaired sections of damaged plywood sheathing, and installed ice and water shield along with synthetic underlayment for maximum protection. To complete the project, John selected IKO Dynasty shingles in the elegant Brownstone shade: shingles that combine durability and style, backed by a 50-year warranty. The result: a stunning new roof that not only enhances John’s home’s curb appeal but is also built to safeguard his family for decades. Brown Won't Let You Down!
