Roof Replacement Photo Album: Bethlehem, CT Roof Revamped with IKO Dynasty Matte Black Shingles

Scott in Bethlehem reached out to Brown Roofing to replace his 20-year-old roof. Inspector Austin conducted a full evaluation and found significant lichen and algae growth, which had caused noticeable shingle deterioration over the years. After reviewing the condition of the roof, Austin worked with Scott to develop a plan for a strong, long-lasting replacement. Project Manager Austin and his crew got to work, removing the old shingles and examining the plywood decking underneath. Fortunately, the plywood was still in solid condition and didn’t require replacement. The team sealed the seams with all-weather deck tape and installed ice and water membrane in key areas, followed by Velora One synthetic underlayment over the remaining surface. Scott chose the elegant Matte Black shingles from our IKO Dynasty collection, a newer shade that pairs fantastically with the blue siding on his home. Now, Scott has a sleek, durable roof built to protect his home for decades to come. Brown Won't Let You Down!

The Roof Before

Here's a look at Scott's roof before the renovation. Swipe through to see the chic transformation!

Before: Algae & Lichen

A closer look at Scott's roof reveals heavy algae and lichen buildup, caused by moisture and debris accumulating over time. These elements wear down shingles and shorten the life of the roof. Time to replace them with strong, water-resistant shingles built to last!

The Teardown Starts

The crew starts by stripping all of the old shingles off of the roof, revealing the plywood foundation underneath. This is called the decking. The decking must be in minit health before the new roofing system can be installed on top, so the crew closely examines the entire surface for any evidence of damage, like rot or mold.

Ice and Water Shield Is Installed

The crew found that all of Scott's decking was in great condition, and none of it needed to be replaced! So, the next step of the process is installing ice and water shield membrane from the eaves up six feet.

Seams Are Taped

Next, the seams of the rest of the plywood sheets are taped up with all-weather Sealoron XT deck tape to meet current building standards.

Underlayment Completed & Drip Edge Flashing Installed

Velora One synthetic underlayment is installed over the rest of the decking, followed by drip edge and rake metal flashing along all roof edges. These thin metal strips help direct water into the gutters and prevent it from seeping beneath the shingles and damaging the fascia.

New Shingles Are Installed

Now it's time to install the new shingles! Scott has selected the sleek Matte Black shade from our premium-laminated IKO Dynasty collection. These Impact 3 shingles are proudly backed by Brown Roofing's 50-year warranty!
