Existing Roof - Aerial View
An aerial view shows Steven's expansive home in Avon, CT, before the roof replacement began. The property's multiple roof sections and architectural details made this a substantial residential roofing project.
Missing Ridge Cap Shingles
A closer view of the existing roof reveals several missing ridge cap shingles along the roof peaks. These exposed areas highlighted the need to address the roofing system and restore proper protection.
Existing Chimney Flashing
This photo shows the original lead flashing around the chimney before replacement. As part of the roofing project, the existing flashing would be replaced with new copper flashing for a durable and attractive finish.
Roof Tear-Off Begins
Our crew began removing the existing roofing materials from Steven's large home. Protective tarps were positioned below the work areas to help collect debris and protect the surrounding property.
Installing Ice and Water Shield
Ice and water shield was installed extending six feet up from the eaves, along the roof valleys, and across the dormer roofs. These areas benefit from additional waterproofing protection because they are particularly vulnerable to water and ice accumulation.
Taping the Plywood Seams
Our crew taped the seams between the existing plywood decking panels as part of the roof preparation process. This step helps improve the continuity of the roof deck's protective layers.
Installing VELORA ONE Underlayment
VELORA ONE synthetic underlayment was applied across the roof surfaces not covered by ice and water shield. This protective layer provides an additional moisture-resistant barrier beneath the new shingles.
Underlayment and Edge Metal Complete
With the synthetic underlayment in place, new drip edge and rake metal were installed along the roof perimeter. Bundles of shingles were distributed across the roof in preparation for installation.
Installing IKO Dynasty Glacier Shingles
Our crew began installing IKO Dynasty architectural shingles in the Glacier color. The deep, dark shingle color creates a striking contrast against the home's traditional red brick exterior.
Completing the Additional Roof Section
With the main house roof completed, our crew continued the replacement process on the adjoining roof section. This ensured the additional structure received the same coordinated roofing materials and finished appearance.
New Copper Chimney Flashing
New copper flashing was installed around the chimney where it meets the roof. The copper provides a durable, weather-resistant transition while adding an elegant architectural detail.
Copper Step Flashing Along Brick Wall
A close-up highlights the newly installed copper step flashing where a lower roof section meets the home's brick exterior. Properly installed step flashing helps direct water away from this vulnerable roof-to-wall intersection.
Completed Roof Replacement - Front View
The finished roof gives Steven's beautiful Avon home a refreshed and sophisticated appearance. IKO Dynasty Glacier shingles complement the red brick exterior, while the new copper flashing adds a distinctive finishing touch.
