Roof Replacement Photo Album: Wind-Damaged Roof in Woodbridge, CT Gets a Stunning Upgrade

When a customer noticed signs of wind damage on Cynthia’s roof, they recommended she give Brown Roofing a call. Inspector Austin came out to take a closer look and found extensive discoloration across the roof, along with aging three-tab shingles that had clearly reached the end of their lifespan. Cynthia decided it was time for a full upgrade, and Project Manager Bill and his crew got to work right away. The team began by carefully removing all the old shingles and laying protective tarps around the home to catch debris and safeguard Cynthia’s property. Beneath the shingles, they found plank decking, a classic style that needed a close inspection. Any sections showing signs of rot or mold were replaced with sturdy new CDX plywood to create a strong, healthy foundation for the new roofing system. With the decking in place, the crew installed a water-resistant underlayment, and then topped it off with IKO Dynasty shingles in Biscayne, Impact Resistance Class 3 rated and backed by our 50-year warranty. The team also installed a ridge vent to improve airflow and prevent moisture buildup, as well as fresh lead flashing around the chimney for long-lasting watertight protection. Cynthia’s new roof is now as durable as it is eye-catching, and ready to protect her home for years to come! Brown Won't Let You Down!

The Roof Before

Cynthia's roof before was in rough shape. Swipe through to see the way we amazingly transformed it!

The Teardown Begins

The crew kicks things off by stripping all of the old shingles off of the roof. Before they begin, they hang up large tarps to catch the falling debris as well as ensure full protection of the homeowner's property from potential damage.

The Decking Is Exposed

Underneath the shingles is a layer of wood called the decking. This is the structural foundation of the roof. Cynthia has a style of decking called plank. The crew will closely examine the decking for any signs of damage, such as rot or mold, and replace them with strong new and healthy CDX plywood.

Underlayment Is Installed

With all of the decking secured and strong, it's time to start installing the underlayment: a thin, water-resistant membrane that shields the decking from harsh elements like rain, snow, wind, and ice.

New Shingles Are Installed

For her new roof, Cynthia selected the gorgeous shade of Biscayne from our IKO Dynasty collection. These premium-laminated, Impact 3-resistant shingles are proudly backed by our 50-year warranty.

Ridge Vent Is Installed

To avoid condensation issues, a ridge vent is installed to let built-up hot, humid air flow out from the attic.

New Flashing for the Chimney

Flashing is installed on the sides of the chimney where it meets the roof in the form of thin lead, securely caulked to create a watertight seal, preventing moisture from seeping into an otherwise vulnerable junction.
