Roof Replacement Before & After Photos

The old roof was experiencing significant moss growth, which can loosen the protective granules on the shingles, cause them to lift, and shorten the roof's lifespan. The roof was replaced with IKO Dynasty Summit Gray shingles.

The existing roof showed several signs of wear and damage, with dark patches, granule loss, and debris accumulation taking away from the home's appearance and protection. Brown Roofing replaced the damaged roof with IKO Dynasty Granite Black shingles, giving the home a sharper, dimensional look and a stronger roofing system built to protect.

This customer called us out to their home because a small section of their roof was leaking. This part of the roof happened to be a flat roof and instead of shingles so we installed an EPDM system. 

This system works differently than a shingle roof and they are mainly installed because of a low sloped roof. If the slope of a roof is too low typically a four-pitch and under an EPDM or SBS roof should be installed. 

The first step to a rubber roof is to strip the existing roof down to the decking layer and inspect it to see if it needs to be replaced. If it is an older roof then the wood needs to be replaced more often than not because the original installers used to glue the ISO boards directly to the plywood decking layer instead of using fasteners. Once this was done we laid down our own ISO board which is screwed down with the help of a 2-inch diameter plate. We also follow a specific pattern to ensure that the entire board is secure. 

Next, we lay down the rubber, this rubber is secured using a specially-made rubber adhesive. This adhesive is designed to mate the ISO board and rubber together and is extremely sticky creating an amazing bond. In the past, this adhesive needed to be rolled onto the rubber and then had to sit for about 30 minutes so it could tack up but now we can spray the adhesive and apply rubber immediately making the process more streamlined and exact. We also removed the siding on the wall to wrap the rubber up the wall then secured it with adhesive and a termination bar. 

To finish off the roof we add C-6 rake metals all around the edges of the roof and tape all the seams with a special seam tape. This was a small and simple job that took just under half a day, but by the end, the homeowner was ecstatic with the final product and glad they went with Brown Roofing.

These old gutters were thin and had some sagging. This customer chose to have their gutters replaced by the Brown Roofing team. The new Gutter Shutter system installed by our crew is guaranteed to never sag. Not only did this gutter replacement solve the issue of sagging gutters, but it will prevent this issue from reoccurring in the future. 

Algae, moss, and lichen once covered this roof, but now beautiful IKO Dynasty shingles make this home look fantastic! This transformation is thanks the efforts of the Brown Roofing team, who preformed a roof replacement for this customer in Hamden. This home had an incredible visual transformation! However, this homeowner might value their home's new grade of safety the most. Summit Gray was the shingle color chosen by our customer for their home's new look.
