Roof Replacement Photo Album: From Aging to Amazing: Roof Upgrade in Bethel, CT

Bethel homeowner John reached out to Brown Roofing knowing his 20-year-old roof was nearing the end of its lifespan. While it hadn’t started leaking yet, he wanted to be proactive and ensure his home stayed protected. Inspector Rick performed a detailed roof inspection, explained our process and materials, and gave John the confidence to move forward with his replacement. Project Manager Jared and his skilled crew removed the old shingles, replaced any damaged sections of plywood sheathing, and installed underlayment for a watertight foundation. The roof was then finished with IKO Dynasty shingles in John’s choice of Shadow Brown: stylish, durable, and backed by our 50-year warranty. With the final details complete, John’s home now features a strong, beautiful new roof built for long-term protection and peace of mind. Brown Won't Let You Down!

The Roof Before

Here's a look at John's roof before the renovation. He had three tab shingles, which were a popular choice any years ago, but are known to have a shorter lifespan than modern, architectural shingles. Swipe through to see the transformation!

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 around the edges of the roof to collect falling debris as well as ensure full protection of the homeowner's property from potential damage.

The Sheathing Is Exposed

Underneath the shingles is a layer of plywood called the sheathing. This is the structural foundation of the roof, and as such, it needs to be in tip-top condition. The crew closely examines the plywood for any damage like rot, mold, and decay.

New Plywood Is Installed

Any areas found with damage are removed and replaced with CDX plywood, cut precisely to fit exactly where needed.

Seams Are Taped & Underlayment Is Installed

The seams of each sheet of plywood are taped up with all-weather Sealoron XT deck tape to meet current building codes. After that, a layer of underlayment is installed over the entire sheathing. This is a strong, water-resistant layer of membrane that protects the surface from harsh elements like rain, snow, and ice dams.

Ridge Vent Is Installed

The New Shingles Go On

For his new roof, John selected the sleek shade of Shadow Brown from our IKO Dynasty collection. These Impact 3-rated, architectural shingles are backed by Brown Roofing's 50-year warranty.
