Existing Flat Roof Before Replacement
A look at Carol's existing flat roof in Barkhamsted, CT, before the replacement began. The aging roofing surface was covered with a weathered roof coating, with visible cracking and uneven areas indicating deterioration.
Moss Growth and Water Accumulation
This section of the existing flat roof shows moss growth and areas where water had collected. These conditions highlighted the need to replace the aging roofing materials and restore the roof's protective surface.
Securing Roof Insulation
After removing the existing roofing materials down to the plywood decking, our crew began installing new insulation boards. Specialized roofing screws and plates were used to mechanically secure the insulation to the roof deck.
Continuing Insulation Installation
Our crew continued positioning and fastening insulation boards across the flat roof. This layer helps provide a consistent surface beneath the new EPDM rubber roofing membrane.
Installing the EPDM Rubber Membrane
With the insulation installed, our crew began applying the new EPDM rubber roofing membrane using roofing adhesive. EPDM is a flexible roofing material commonly used on flat and low-slope roofs because of its durability and weather resistance.
Completed EPDM Flat Roof Replacement
The finished flat roof features a clean, uniform EPDM rubber membrane in place of the deteriorated original roofing system. Carol's Barkhamsted home now has a newly installed flat roof with a refreshed appearance and protective roofing materials.
