Roof Replacement Photo Album: Another Stratford, CT Home Covered with Quality and Care

When it was time for a new roof, Stratford homeowner Walt didn’t hesitate—he called Brown Roofing for the job done right! Inspector Darwin came out to assess the situation and confirmed that a full replacement was the way to go. From there, Project Manager Noel and his talented crew got to work, carefully removing the old shingles, replacing any worn plywood, laying down durable underlayment, and topping it all off with stunning new shingles. Now, Walt’s home has a roof that’s as reliable as it is beautiful—built to keep his family safe, dry, and smiling for decades. Brown Won't Let You Down!

The Roof Before

Here's a look at Walt's roof before the renovation. Swipe through to see the sleek transformation!

The Teardown Begins

The crew kicks things off by carefully tearing off the old shingles. This reveals the layer of plywood underneath, which is called the roof sheathing.

New Plywood Is Installed

The sheathing is the structural foundation of the roof, and, as such, needs to be in tip-top condition before the new shingles can go on. Any areas found with damage, like rot or mold, are removed and replaced with strong new CDX plywood to ensure a sturdy, solid base.

Seams Are Taped & Underlayment Is Installed

Next, the crew tapes up all of the seams of the plywood sheets with all-weather deck tape. After that, underlayment is installed over the entire surface. This thin, waterproof material protects the sheathing from harsh elements that could cause moisture damage, like rain, snow, or hail.

Drip Edge Flashing Is Installed

Drip edge flashing, a thin metal, is installed along the edge of the roof, ensuring a watertight seal by directing the water away from the fascia and into the gutters.

New Shingles Are Installed

Now it's time to install the new shingles! For his new roof, Walt has selected the sleek shade of Brownstone from our premium-laminated IKO Dynasty collection. These gorgeous shingles are proudly backed by Brown Roofing's 50-year warranty!

Ridge Vent Is Installed

A shingle vent is installed along all of the ridges of the roof to ensure proper airflow by allowing hot, moist air rising in the house a way to escape, eliminating damaging condensation buildup.

New Flashing Is Installed on Chimney

New flashing is installed around the chimney where it meets the roof. Like the drip edge flashing, this thin metal barrier prevents water from leaking into an otherwise vulnerable junction.
