Roof Replacement Photo Album: Cape Cod Roof Replacement in Shelton, CT

Dave and Deirdre contacted Brown Roofing about replacing the aging roof on their charming Cape Cod home in Shelton, CT. At approximately 20 years old, the existing roof showed signs of deterioration, including prominent dark algae streaks and worn shingles along the rear slope. Inspector Darwin evaluated the roofing project, and Project Manager Hakeem oversaw the replacement process. Our crew removed the old shingles and carefully inspected the exposed plywood decking, identifying damaged sections that required replacement with new CDX plywood. After completing the necessary decking repairs, the crew taped the plywood seams and installed ice and water shield extending six feet up from the eaves for added protection. VELORA ONE synthetic underlayment was then applied to the remaining roof areas, along with new drip edge and rake metal. The roof was finished with IKO Dynasty architectural shingles in Shadow Brown, creating a beautiful contrast with the home's light gray siding, green shutters, and matching front door. With its fresh new roof and classic Cape Cod charm, Dave and Deirdre's Shelton home looks fantastic! Brown Won't Let You Down!

Before Replacement - Aerial View

This aerial view highlights the condition of the existing roof, particularly along the rear slope. Dark algae streaks and visible shingle deterioration showed the effects of years of exposure and shaded conditions.

Roof Tear-Off Preparation

Our crew began the roof replacement by carefully positioning protective tarps along the home. These tarps helped contain falling roofing debris and protect the surrounding property during the tear-off process.

Removing the Existing Shingles

The old shingles were stripped away to expose the plywood decking underneath. This decking provides the structural foundation that supports the roofing materials above it.

Inspecting the Roof Decking

With the existing roofing materials removed, the plywood decking was fully exposed for inspection. Our crew examined the decking for deterioration and other conditions that could compromise the new roofing system.

Removing Damaged Plywood

During the decking inspection, our crew identified plywood that needed replacement. The damaged section was removed to make way for new, structurally sound decking.

Installing New CDX Plywood

A new sheet of CDX plywood was installed where the deteriorated decking had been removed. This repair provided a solid foundation for the roofing materials that would follow.

Taped Seams and Ice and Water Shield

The plywood seams were taped, and ice and water shield was installed extending six feet up from the eaves. These protective measures help reduce the risk of moisture intrusion in vulnerable areas of the roof.

VELORA ONE Synthetic Underlayment

VELORA ONE synthetic underlayment was installed across the remaining roof surfaces. This layer provides an additional moisture-resistant barrier beneath the new shingles.

Edge Metal and Shingle Preparation

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

Installing IKO Dynasty Shingles

Our crew installed IKO Dynasty architectural shingles in the Shadow Brown color. The rich brown shade complements the home's light gray siding and distinctive green shutters and front door.

Completed Roof Replacement

The completed roof gives Dave and Deirdre's Cape Cod home a beautiful, refreshed appearance. The new Shadow Brown shingles complement the home's classic exterior details, creating a warm and welcoming finished look.
