Roof Replacement Photo Album: Dual Roof Replacement Done Right in Southport, CT

Liz in Southport needed new roofs for her guest house and shed, and she knew just who to call for top-notch materials and expert craftsmanship—Brown Roofing! Inspector John provided a thorough consultation to map out the best plan, and then Project Manager Bill and his fantastic crew got to work. They removed the old shingles, replaced damaged plywood where necessary, installed protective underlayment, and finished both roofs with stunning IKO Dynasty shingles. Now Liz’s guest house and shed look sharp and are built to stand the test of time. Brown Won't Let You Down!

The Roof Before

Here is a look at Liz's roof before the renovation. Swipe through to see the sleek transformation!

Before: Low-Sloping Section

This section of Liz's old roof is considered low-sloping, meaning that the pitch is too gentle for shingles to be installed. Instead, a specialized SBS (styrene-butadiene-styrene) roofing system is installed here. Keep swiping to see how we turned this spot from worn to wow!

The Teardown Begins

The crew starts things off by carefully stripping off all of the old shingles. Before the teardown begins, the crew hangs up large tarps around the edges of the roof to catch falling debris, making for a speedier cleanup process as well as ensuring full protection of the homeowner's property.

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 must be in tip-top shape before the new shingles can be installed. The crew inspects the entire surface closely for any evidence of damage, such as rot or mold.

Seams Are Taped & Underlayment Is Installed

The seams of each sheet of plywood are taped up with heavy-duty Sealoron XT deck tape. After that, underlayment is installed over the entire surface. This thin, water-resistant material protects the sheathing from harsh elements like rain, snow, and ice.

New SBS Base Is Installed

The first layer of the SBS roof, called the base, is also installed at this point. This membrane is similar to the underlayment installed on the rest of the roof.

SBS Cap Is Installed

The top layer of the SBS roof, called the cap, is securely adhered onto the base, completing the SBS section.

New Shingles Are Installed

With the underlayment fully in place, it's time to install the new shingles! For her new roof, Liz has chosen the ever-popular shade of Granite Black from our premium-laminated IKO Dynasty collection. These heavyweight shingles are proudly backed by Brown Roofing's 50-year warranty.
