Roof Replacement Photo Album: Milford, CT Home Gets a Roofing Refresh with Atlantic Blue Style

Julie, a homeowner in Milford, reached out to Brown Roofing after her insurance company recommended it was time for a roof replacement. Inspector John was happy to meet with her, walk through her options, and help create the perfect plan for a roof that would meet her needs and look fantastic. Once the plan was in place and Julie's solar company temporarily removed her panels, Project Manager Bill and his expert crew got to work. They carefully tore off all the old shingles and inspected the roof deck—and good news: no damage found! From there, they installed a solid layer of ice and water shield, sealed the seams with all-weather deck tape, and laid down synthetic underlayment for top-tier protection. Then came the finishing touch: beautiful IKO Dynasty shingles in Atlantic Blue, giving Julie’s home a bold, fresh look. Now her roof is strong, stunning, and ready to stand tall for decades to come. Brown Won't Let You Down!

The Old Roof

Here's what Julie's old roof looked like before the transformation. Swipe through to see exactly how we did it!

The Teardown Begins

After Julie's solar company came to temporarily remove her panels, the crew got to work carefully stripping all of the old shingles off of the roof. Underneath the shingles is a layer of plywood called the roof sheathing.

Seams Are Taped & Ice and Water Shield Is Installed

The sheathing is the structural foundation of the roof, and, as such, must be in tip-top condition before we can proceed with installing the new roof. The crew closely examined Julie's roof for any damaged plywood affected by things like rot and mold, and, when they didn't find any, they went ahead with the next step! Ice and water shield is installed from the eaves up six feet. This is a thin, waterproof membrane that adheres directly to the sheathing to protect it from moisture damage that could be caused by rain, snow, or ice. The rest of the sheets are taped up at the seams with all-weather Sealoron XT deck tape to meet current building codes.

Underlayment Is Completed and Drip Edge Flashing Is Installed

Velora One synthetic underlayment is installed over the rest of the sheathing's surface. After that, thin metal barriers called the rake metal and the drip edge flashing are installed around the edges of the roof to ensure a watertight seal, directing moisture away from the fascia and guiding it into the gutters.

New Shingles Are Installed

Now it's time to install the new shingles! Brown Roofing proudly trusts IKO Dynasty premium-laminated architectural shingles for all roofs backed by our 50-year warranty. These shingles come in a variety of eye-catching shades, and Julie has selected the gorgeous Atlantic Blue for her new roof.

Ridge Vent Is Installed

A ridge vent is installed along the peak of the roof to allow hot, humid air to escape from the attic. This helps prevent condensation buildup, which can lead to moisture damage over time and ensures the roof system stays healthy and well-ventilated.
