Roof Replacement Photo Album: Say Goodbye to Tarps: Prospect, CT Roof Is Ready for Anything

Michael in Prospect reached out to Brown Roofing after dealing with leaks he’d been temporarily managing with tarps—but he knew it was time for a real solution. Inspector Brian came out for a full inspection and walked Michael through our premium process, top-tier materials, and expert craftsmanship. Excited to move forward, Michael gave us the green light, and Project Manager Austin and his crew got to work. They removed the old shingles, replaced compromised sheathing, installed protective underlayment, and topped it off with strong, stunning IKO Dynasty shingles. Now Michael’s roof is looking great—and completely tarp-free. Brown Won't Let You Down!

The Roof Before

Here's a look at Michael's roof before the renovation. Those old, worn shingles have got to go. Click through to see the gorgeous transformation!

Before: Tarped Up

Before, Michael had a tarp on his roof to stop water from leaking in. It's a solution, but not a particularly attractive one. Time for something long-lasting and beautiful!

The Teardown Begins

The Sheathing Is Examined

Underneath the old shingles is a layer of plywood called the sheathing. This is the structural foundation of the roof, and as such, needs to be in tip-top condition. The crew carefully inspects the entire surface for any evidence of damage, such as rot or mold.

Seams Are Taped & Underlayment Is Installed

The crew found no damage on Michael's sheathing and proceeded on with the next step: taping up the seams of each plywood sheet with all-weather deck tape, and then installing a layer of underlayment. This thin, waterproof membrane will protect the sheathing from harsh elements like rain, wind, snow, and ice.

Same for the Shed

Meanwhile, the same process is happening on the shed: old shingles removed, sheathing examined, and now new underlayment installed.

New Shingles Are Installed

Now it's time to install the new shingles! For his new roof, Michael has selected the highly popular Granite Black shade from our IKO Dynasty collection. These premium-laminated and heavyweight shingles are proudly backed by Brown Roofing's 50-year warranty!

Ridge Vent Is Installed

A shingle vent is installed along the ridges of the roof. This ensures proper airflow by allowing hot, moist air rising from the house a way to escape, preventing damaging condensation buildup.

New Flashing on the Chimney

New flashing is installed around the chimney where it meets the roof. This is a thin metal barrier that diverts water away from what would otherwise be a junction vulnerable to moisture damage.
