Roof Replacement Photo Album: IKO Dynasty Atlantic Blue Shines in Oakville, CT Roof Replacement

Oakville homeowners Julia and William reached out to Brown Roofing for a roof replacement. They knew their roof was showing its age and, after being referred by a satisfied family member, felt confident we could help. Inspector Chase conducted a thorough inspection and confirmed it was time: worn three-tab shingles, lichen, and moss growth were all signs of long-term wear. Chase walked them through our process and material options, and they felt good about moving forward. Project Manager Noel and his expert crew removed the old shingles and inspected the plywood foundation, known as the sheathing. Any damaged areas were replaced with strong half-inch CDX plywood to create a solid base. The crew then installed ice and water shield, followed by synthetic underlayment and protective flashing. Julia and William selected the stunning shade of Atlantic Blue from our IKO Dynasty collection, proudly backed by our 50-year Brown Promise warranty. With a few finishing touches and a full property cleanup, their roof is officially complete — sleek, secure, and built to last! Brown Won't Let You Down!

Before: Deteriorating Shingles & Moss Growth

A closer look at the shingles reveals their age. These are three-tab shingles, which have a shorter lifespan - and these have definitely reached the end of theirs. The white areas are lichen, and the green patches are moss - both caused by moisture and debris building up where it shouldn't.

The Teardown Begins

The crew starts by carefully stripping all of the old shingles off the roof. Before teardown begins, large tarps are hung around the roof's perimeter to catch falling debris, protect the property, and make cleanup fast and efficient.

New Plywood Is Installed

Beneath the shingles is the sheathing - a layer of plywood that serves as the roof's structural foundation. Any sections with damage, such as rot or mold, are removed and replaced with strong, new half-inch CDX plywood to ensure a solid base for the roofing system.

Ice-and-Water Shield Is Installed

Ice-and-water shield membrane is installed from the eaves up six feet and in vulnerable areas like valleys to provide maximum protection from rain, snow, wind, and ice.

Underlayment Is Completed

Velora One synthetic underlayment is applied over the rest of the roof for added durability. Drip edge and rake metal flashing - a thin metal barrier - is installed along the roof edges to prevent water intrusion, guiding runoff safely into the gutters.

New Shingles Are Installed

IKO Dynasty shingles in the striking shade of Atlantic Blue are then installed. These sleek, Impact Rating 3 architectural shingles are known for both strength and style, and they're backed by our 50-year Brown Promise warranty.

Chimney Gets New Flashing

New flashing is installed around the chimney to seal off this vulnerable area. Like the drip edge, this thin metal barrier helps prevent water from seeping in where it doesn't belong.

Ridge Vent Is Installed

A ridge vent is installed along the roof's peaks to promote airflow and allow hot, humid air from inside the home to escape. This helps prevent damaging condensation. Ridge cap shingles are added over the vent for a clean, seamless finish.
