Roof Replacement Photo Album: Roof and Chimney Renovation Done Right in Riverside, CT

When Danielle in Riverside noticed her roof was leaking and her chimney was crumbling, she called in the pros at Brown Roofing to handle it all in one go! Inspector Geoff walked her through our premium process, and together they decided on a partial roof replacement and a full chimney rebuild. Our skilled masons got to work first, crafting a sharp new chimney, then Project Manager Austin and his expert crew stepped in to tackle the roof—removing old shingles, replacing sheathing where needed, laying down protective underlayment, and finishing it off with durable, beautiful IKO Dynasty shingles. Now, Danielle’s home is leak-free and looking fantastic from top to chimney! Brown Won't Let You Down!

The Roof Before

Here's a look at Danielle's roof before the renovation. Now swipe through to see the sleek way we transformed it!

A New Chimney

Before we could start on the roof, our expert masons built a crisp new chimney for Danielle-and it looks amazing! With that done, it's time to get to work on her brand-new roof.

The Teardown Begins

The crew starts things off by carefully stripping all of the old shingles off of the roof. Before that starts, the crew hangs up large larps around the edges of the roof to ensure complete protection of the property as well as make for a more efficient cleanup.

The Sheathing Is Exposed

Underneath the old shingles is a layer of plywood called the sheathing. This is the structural foundation of the roof, and as such, must be in tip-top condition before the new shingles can be put on. The crew will closely examine the entire surface for any evidence of damage, such as rot or mold.

New Plywood Is Installed

Any affected sections are removed and replaced with strong new 1/2" CDX plywood. Each sheet used is numbered so that the crew can accurately report back to the homeowner exactly how many new sheets were needed.

Seams Are Taped & Underlayment Is Installed

The seams of all of the sheets are taped up with all-weather deck tape for added reinforcement. After that, underlayment is installed over the entire surface. This is a thin, waterproof membrane that will protect the sheathing from damaging elements like wind, rain, snow, and ice.

Drip Edge Flashing Is Installed

Drip edge flashing, a narrow metal strip, is installed along the roof's perimeter to seal out moisture and guide water safely into the gutters. With that in place, we're all set for shingle installation!

New Shingles Are Installed

The crew installs IKO Dynasty shingles in Danielle's selected shade of Summit Grey. These premium-laminated, heavyweight shingles are proudly backed by Brown Roofing's 50-year warranty!

New Bay Window Roof

It's not just the main roof that gets the upgrade-every side roof and bay window is treated with the same premium care and materials during the renovation.
