Roof Replacement Photo Album: Premium Roof and Flashing Transformation in Fairfield, CT

Stephen in Fairfield gave Brown Roofing a call looking for a quote on a brand-new roof and fresh chimney flashing—and we were more than happy to help! Inspector Chase headed out to take a look and walk Stephen through our premium process and top-tier materials, making sure every question was answered. Once everything was lined up, Stephen gave us the go-ahead, and Project Manager Connor and his skilled crew got right to it. They stripped off the old shingles, swapped out any compromised plywood with solid new sheathing, laid down tough underlayment, and finished it all off with our stunning, long-lasting IKO Dynasty shingles backed by a 50-year warranty. To top it off—literally—they installed gorgeous new copper flashing around all of Stephen’s chimneys, adding both a watertight seal and a touch of elegance. Now his roof isn’t just protected—it’s looking sharp and built to last! Brown Won't Let You Down!

Prepping the Property

Before the teardown starts, the crew takes care to lay down large tarps along the yard to fully ensure that he homeowner's property is protected as well as pave the way for a more efficient cleanup process.

The Teardown Begins

Underneath the old shingles is a layer of plywood called the sheathing. This is the structural foundation of the entire roof.

Sheathing Is Examined

As the structural foundation of the roof, the health of the sheathing is essential. Any sections found with damage, such as rot or mold, are removed and replaced with brand-new durable 1/2" CDX plywood.

New Plywood Is Installed

Each new sheet is precisely fit and securely nailed into place, ensuring a strong and solid base. All sheets are numbered for easy tracking so that the crew can accurately report back to the homeowner exactly how many new sheets were installed.

Seams Are Taped & Underlayment Is Installed

Each sheet of plywood is taped at the seams with all-weather deck tape as an added layer of reinforcement. 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, potentially damaging elements like wind, rain, snow, and ice.

New Shingles Are Installed

Now it's time to install the new shingles! Brown Roofing proudly installs premium-laminated, heavyweight IKO Dynasty shingles for all roofs backed by our 50-year guarantee. For his new roof, Stephen has selected the ever-popular shade of Granite Black to perfectly complement his home.

Ridge Vent Is Installed

A vent is installed along all of the ridges of the roof to ensure proper airflow. This vent allows hot, moist air rising inside of the house a way to escape, preventing damaging condensation buildup.

New Flashing on the Chimney

Elegant new copper flashing is installed and sealed with strong caulk on the side of the chimney where it meets the roof. This thin metal barrier diverts water away from seeping into an otherwise vulnerable junction.
