Drone View of the Old Roofing System
This roof shows visible staining from algae, moss, and organic buildup, especially in shaded areas where moisture can linger. The valley area appears heavily discolored and deteriorated, which is a concern because valleys handle the most water runoff and are more vulnerable to leaks if the shingles or underlayment are worn.
Jobsite Protection
Before the new roof system goes on, the Brown Roofing team protects the home and property below. Tarps help catch old roofing materials and debris, keeping the siding, landscaping, and driveway area as clean and safe as possible during the project.
3. Removing Damaged Wood Around a Roof Penetration
The crew cut out deteriorated wood near a pipe opening. Any weak or stained decking must be removed so the new roof has a solid, reliable base instead of being installed over hidden damage.
Opening the Roof to Inspect What's Underneath
Once the old roofing materials were removed, the team exposed the roof deck and framing. This step is important because algae, moss, and worn valley areas can sometimes hide deeper issues beneath the shingles.
Replacing Decking
New plywood was installed where the old decking was no longer suitable. A roof is only as strong as what is underneath it, so Brown Roofing replaces compromised sections before installing the protective layers.
Marking and Securing the New Roof Deck
The new plywood was fastened into place and marked for the crew. Proper fastening and back nailing helps create a stable surface for the underlayment and shingles, reducing movement and helping the roof system perform the way it should.
Sealing the Deck Seams for Added Protection
Blue deck tape was installed over the plywood seams before the underlayment. This adds another layer of defense against wind-driven rain and helps protect the home if water ever gets beneath the shingles.
Installing the New IKO Dynasty Glacier Shingles
With the underlayment in place, the crew began installing the new IKO Dynasty Glacier shingles. This is where the roof starts to transform from a repair zone into a complete roofing system designed to shed water properly.

Clean Ridge Line and Finished Roof Surface
The finished roof shows crisp shingle lines and a clean ridge area. Proper ridge details help the roof look finished while also supporting attic ventilation when paired with the right intake system.
