Roof Replacement Photo Album: Frostone Gray Fresh & Ready to Go in Milford, CT

Milford homeowner Brian was ready to replace his aging roof, and he knew exactly who to call — Brown Roofing. His existing roof had seen better days, and it was time for an upgrade. Inspector Coleton visited the property, performed a full inspection, and confirmed that a replacement was the right call. After walking Brian through our process and material options, he felt confident moving forward with us. 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 sections were replaced with durable half-inch CDX plywood to ensure a strong, reliable base. With the foundation secured, the team installed ice and water shield membrane from the eaves up, sealed the seams with all-weather deck tape, and covered the remaining surface with Velora One synthetic underlayment. For his new roof, Brian selected the bold and modern Frostone Gray from our IKO Dynasty collection — premium laminated shingles backed by our 50-year Brown Promise warranty. After final touches and a spotless property cleanup, Brian’s roof is officially complete — sleek, sturdy, and ready to take on whatever Mother Nature sends its way. Brown Won't Let You Down!

The Roof Before

Here is what Brian's roof looked like before the renovation. Check out the sleek new look at the end of this gallery!

Before: Missing Shingles

Brian's old roof was definitely past its prime, with lots of missing shingles, stains, and everything a rough roof would represent. Let's get started on that new roof right now!

The Teardown Begins

The crew has torn off all of the old shingles, revealing the sheathing underneath. This is a layer of wood. The style of sheathing that Brian had was called skip sheathing. Its name is pretty self-explanatory. This sheathing was popular a long time ago as it was able to help keep three tab shingles aerated, but there is no way this can support the new, heavyweight architectural shingles we are about to install.

New Plywood Is Installed

In order to remedy that, the crew installs strong new half-inch CDX plywood to cover the entire surface. These sheets are cut to fit perfectly and form a beautiful, strong and solid base for the new modern roofing system.

Underlayment Is Installed

Now it's time to secure the plywood with the underlayment. This is a thin, water-resistant membrane that protects the new sheathing fully from harsh elements like rain, wind, snow, and ice.

New Shingles Are Installed

Now it's time to put on those graciously gorgeous and good-looking shingles from IKO Dynasty. Brian has selected the sleek and sophisticated shade of Frostone Gray for a fresh and fun complement to his dark blue sided home.

SBS Roof Is Completed

This section of the roof had a low slope, making it unsuitable for standard asphalt shingles. To ensure proper protection and waterproofing, we installed an SBS-modified bitumen roofing system - perfect for low-sloped areas.
