Roof Replacement Before & After Photos

Before: The existing roof showed aging, weathered shingles with visible wear and uneven areas around the chimney, increasing the risk of water intrusion.

After: The roof was replaced with new architectural shingles, creating a cleaner, more uniform surface with improved protection and a refreshed appearance around the chimney.

The original roof had noticeable patches of light green discoloration scattered across the shingles. This indicates biological growth that can cause potential damage over time. The new roofing system gives the home a clean, finished look that is built to protect.

At Brown Roofing, we recently completed a roofing project for Candice's home in Hamden. Our salesman, John, worked closely with her to choose the IKO Dynasty shingles in the sleek Granite Black color. His expertise ensured that Candice was confident in her decision, aligning her vision with the best options available.

With the project managed by our experienced team, the installation went smoothly and efficiently. The transformation was striking, and we documented the process with before and after photos that showcase the dramatic upgrade. The new roof not only enhances the beauty of Candice’s home but also provides the durability and protection she needs. We’re proud of the results and excited to continue serving homeowners with quality roofing solutions!

Before: Aged, faded roof with heavy discoloration, uneven weathering, and visible staining.
After: Clean, uniform new roof with fresh shingles and a sharp, fortified appearance.

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.
