Roof Replacement Photo Album: A Gorgeous Southbury, CT Home gets a New Roof to Match

Stephan in Southbury knew his 27-year-old roof was on borrowed time. While it hadn’t started leaking yet, it was definitely showing its age—and he wanted to get ahead of any problems. After seeing the incredible job Brown Roofing did for his neighbor, Stephan gave us a call, confident we were the right team for the job. Roofing expert Geoff stopped by for a full consultation and helped him craft the perfect plan for a brand-new roof using the best materials and craftsmanship around. From there, Project Manager Bill and his talented crew took the reins—reinforcing the roof deck with durable underlayment and topping it off with stunning IKO Dynasty shingles. Now Stephan’s home is protected, polished, and ready for whatever the next few decades bring! Brown Won't Let You Down!

The Roof Before

Here's a look at Stephan's roof before the renovation. Now swipe through to see the gorgeous transformation!

The Teardown Begins

The crew starts things off by carefully stripping all of the old shingles off of the roof. Before they begin, large tarps are hung up all around the edges of the roof to catch the falling debris. This makes sure that the homeowner's property is completely protected from falling debris, and also makes for a far more efficient cleanup process.

The Sheathing Is Examined

Underneath the shingles is a layer of plywood called the sheathing. This is the structural foundation of the roof. After all of the shingles are fully removed, the crew will closely examine the entire surface for any evidence of damage, like rot or mold.

Seams Are Taped & Underlayment Is Installed

After the sheathing is found to have no damage and no sections needing to be replaced, the crew tapes up each sheet of plywood at the seams with all-weather deck tape to meet current building code standards. After that, a layer of underlayment is installed over the entire surface. This is a thin, waterproof material that protects the roof from damaging elements like rain, snow, and ice.

Ready for New Shingles

After the underlayment is fully installed, a thin metal barrier called drip edge flashing is installed around all of the edges of the roof. This prevents water from seeping in under the edges of the roof by directing the water away from the fascia and towards the gutters.

New Shingles Are Installed

Brown Roofing proudly installs premium-laminated IKO Dynasty shingles for all roofs backed by our 50-year warranty! For his beautiful new roof, Stephan has selected the sleek shade of Summit Gray.

Ridge Vent Is Installed

A shingle vent is installed along all of the ridges of the roof. This vent allows for healthy air circulation by letting hot, moist air that rises from inside of the house a way to escape, preventing damaging condensation buildup.

After: Back View

After a few finishing touches and a spotless cleanup of the property, Stephan's new roof is complete! As you can see from this photo of the back view, a gorgeous new VELUX brand skylight has been installed, adding a modern touch.
