Roof Replacement Photo Album: Trumbull, CT Home Gets a Roof Built to Last 50 Years

Inspector John headed out to Trumbull to meet with homeowner Kate, who reached out to Brown Roofing about repairing her roof and chimney. After a thorough inspection, John recommended a full roof replacement—and once Kate heard about our premium materials and expert craftsmanship, she was all in! Project Manager Bill and his talented crew got to work, stripping off the old shingles, laying down durable underlayment, and finishing it off with stunning IKO Dynasty shingles. Now, Kate’s home is protected by a beautiful new roof that's built to stand strong for the next 50 years! Brown Won't Let You Down!

The Roof Before

Here's a look at Kate's roof before the renovation. Click through to see the excellent transformation!

The Old Shingles Are Removed

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

The Sheathing Is Examined

New Plywood Is Installed

As the structural foundation of the roof, the health of the entire sheathing is extremely important. Any sections found with damage, like rot or mold, are removed and replaced with strong new CDX plywood.

Seams Are Taped & Underlayment Is Installed

All of the seams of the plywood sheets are taped up with durable all-weather deck tape. After that, a layer of underlayment is installed over the entire surface. This is a thin, water-resistant membrane that protects the sheathing from harsh elements like rain, snow, and ice.

New Shingles Are Installed

Now it's time to install the new shingles! For her new roof, Kate has selected the highly popular shade of Granite Black from our premium-laminated IKO Dynasty collection to perfectly complement her light peach home.

Same for the Garage

Meanwhile, the exact same process is also occurring for the garage's roof: old shingles removed, sheathing inspection and replacement where necessary, new underlayment installed, and now new shingles.

Ridge Vent Is Installed

A vent is installed along the ridges of Kate's roof to ensure proper airflow. This vent allows hot, humid air that rises from inside of the house to escape, cutting down on damaging condensation buildup.

New Flashing Installed on the Chimney

New flashing is installed along the edges of the chimney where it meets the roof. This is a thin metal barrier designed to direct water away from this critical junction.
