Roof Replacement Photo Album: Milford, CT Roof Transformed with IKO Dynasty Shingles

Milford homeowner Beverly connected with Brown Roofing looking to replace their roof. Inspector Darwin visited the property to perform a thorough assessment and walk Beverly through our process and material options. After reviewing everything, they felt confident moving forward with us, and we were glad to help! Project Manager Bill and his expert crew got to work by removing the old shingles and inspecting the plywood foundation beneath, known as the sheathing. Any damaged areas were replaced with strong half-inch CDX plywood to ensure a solid base. Next, the crew installed ice and water shield membrane from the eaves up, sealed all seams with all-weather deck tape, and covered the rest of the surface with Velora One synthetic underlayment. Beverly selected the beautiful shade of Biscayne from our IKO Dynasty collection: shingles that are as durable as they are stylish, and proudly backed by our 50-year Brown Promise warranty. With the final details completed and the property cleaned up, Beverly’s roof is officially finished — sleek, secure, and ready for whatever the seasons bring. Brown Won't Let You Down!

The Roof Before

Here's a look at Beverly's roof before the replacement. While it wasn't in terrible shape, it was definitely showing signs of wear, plus a few missing shingles. Click through to see the stunning transformation!

Preparing for the Teardown

Before the teardown begins, large protective tarps are set up around the roof's perimeter to catch falling debris and safeguard the entire property from potential damage.

The Teardown Begins

The crew begins by carefully removing all of the old shingles. Beneath them lies the plywood layer known as the sheathing, which is the structural foundation of the roof. This layer is thoroughly inspected for any signs of damage, such as rot or mold, to ensure a solid and secure base for the new roof.

The Sheathing Is Exposed

Only a small section near the chimney needed replacement - woohoo! With the sheathing in great shape overall, we're ready to move on to the next step.

Seams Are Taped and Ice and Water Shield Is Installed

Ice and water shield membrane is applied from the eaves up six feet to safeguard the most vulnerable parts of the roof from harsh elements like rain, snow, and ice. After that, all seams between the remaining plywood sheets are sealed with all-weather deck tape to meet building codes and reinforce long-term durability.

Underlayment Is Completed

Velora One synthetic underlayment is then installed across the rest of the roof sheathing, creating a strong, water-resistant barrier that adds an extra layer of protection beneath the rest of the shingles.

New Shingles Are Installed

Now it's time for the new shingles! For this project, Beverly chose the eye-catching shade of Biscayne from our IKO Dynasty collection. These are premium laminated shingles known for their strength and style. Like all our IKO Dynasty installations, these shingles are proudly backed by Brown Roofing's 50-year warranty.

Ridge Vent Is Installed

To maintain proper airflow, a ridge vent is installed along the peak of the roof, allowing hot, humid air to escape from the attic and prevent moisture buildup.
