Roof Replacement Photo Album: Roof Replacement and Skylight Removal in Beacon Falls, CT

After purchasing their home in Beacon Falls, Connecticut, Preston and Brittany turned to Brown Roofing for a roof replacement, keeping the project close to the Brown Roofing family! Preston is the son of Kim, a member of our production team, making this installation especially meaningful to our crew. With Project Manager Jared overseeing the work, our team removed the existing roofing materials and replaced damaged sections of roof decking with new CDX plywood. We then taped the decking seams, installed ice and water shield along the eaves and other vulnerable areas, and covered the remaining roof with VELORA ONE synthetic underlayment. New IKO Dynasty architectural shingles in the color Weatherwood were installed, along with updated chimney flashing, roof ventilation components, and finishing details. The project also included removing an existing skylight, leaving the interior opening for separate finishing work. With their new roof complete, Preston and Brittany can enjoy a fresh start in their home with the added protection of a professionally installed roofing system. Brown Won't Let You Down!

Before the Roof Replacement

This archival Google Street View image shows the Beacon Falls home before its roof replacement and exterior siding updates. The siding was changed by others before Brown Roofing began work, so its color differs from the siding visible in the installation photos.

Preparing for Roof Removal

Our crew begins removing the existing roofing materials while large protective tarps cover the exterior of the home. These tarps help collect debris and protect the surrounding property throughout the tear-off process.

Inspecting the Roof Decking

With the old shingles removed, our crew examines the plywood roof decking for signs of damage and deterioration. This photo shows an opening where a compromised section has already been removed in preparation for replacement.

Installing New CDX Plywood

New CDX plywood is installed in areas where the existing roof decking required replacement. These fresh sheets provide a solid foundation for the new roofing materials.

Tracking Decking Replacements

As additional damaged decking is removed, our crew numbers the replacement plywood sheets to keep an accurate record of the work performed. This documentation helps maintain transparency regarding the extent of the decking repairs.

Sealing the Decking and Protecting the Eaves

Our crew tapes the plywood seams and installs ice and water shield along the lower portions of the roof. Extending this protective membrane six feet up from the eaves provides additional protection against moisture intrusion and ice dams.

Installing Synthetic Underlayment

VELORA ONE synthetic underlayment is installed over the remaining exposed roof decking. This material adds a protective layer beneath the shingles and helps safeguard the roof against moisture.

Preparing for Shingle Installation

New drip edge and rake metal are installed along the roof's perimeter to help direct water away from vulnerable edges. Bundles of shingles are also distributed across the roof in preparation for installation.

Protecting the Lower Garage Roof

Our crew applies ice and water shield to a narrow lower roof section above the garage entrance. Even smaller roof areas receive careful attention to ensure consistent protection throughout the roofing system.

Installing IKO Dynasty Shingles

New IKO Dynasty architectural shingles in the color Weatherwood are installed across the roof. Their dimensional appearance complements the home's updated exterior while providing durable protection against the elements.

Installing New Chimney Flashing

Our crew installs new flashing where the chimney meets the roof to help prevent water from entering at this vulnerable transition. Properly installed flashing is an essential part of a watertight roofing system.

Completed Chimney Flashing

The finished chimney flashing creates a clean, secure transition between the masonry and the surrounding shingles. This detail helps direct water away from the chimney and protect the roof against leaks.

Removing the Existing Skylight

An interior view shows the former skylight opening after the skylight was removed and the roof opening was covered with plywood. Interior finishing of the former skylight opening is separate from the completed roofing work.

Completed Roof Replacement in Beacon Falls

The finished roof features IKO Dynasty shingles in Weatherwood, completed chimney flashing, pipe flashing, and ridge ventilation with matching ridge cap shingles. Preston and Brittany's home now has a refreshed appearance and a newly installed roofing system.
