Roof Replacement Photo Album: Leak-Free Upgrade: New Summit Gray Roof in Torrington, CT

Torrington homeowner Brian reached out to Brown Roofing after dealing with recurring leaks and an aging roof that was long past the point of patch repairs. Inspector Austin evaluated the home and confirmed that the old three-tab shingles, moss growth, and failing roof penetrations were clear signs it was time for a full replacement. Project Manager Carlos and the crew removed the old shingles, replaced mold-damaged decking with new CDX plywood, and installed a full underlayment system for maximum weather protection. The roof was finished with IKO Dynasty shingles in Summit Gray, paired with new flashing, pipe boots, and ridge venting all backed by our 50-year warranty. Now Brian’s home is fully protected, restored, and leak-free for good. Brown Won't Let You Down!

The Roof Before

Here is a look at Brian's roof before the renovation. Swipe through to see how it turned out!

Before: A Closer Look

A closer look at the old three-tab shingles shows lifting edges, heavy moss growth, and a pipe boot that wasn't sealed properly: all clear pathways for leaks. Time to fix it right.

The Teardown Begins

The crew starts by hanging large tarps to protect the property and catch debris, then removes all of the old shingles.

The Sheathing Is Examined

With the shingles gone, the plywood sheathing (the structural base of the roof) is fully exposed and inspected for rot, mold, or decay.

Bad Plywood Is Removed

Some sections showed severe mold damage and had to be removed. You can see how dark and deteriorated the old plywood was.

New Plywood Is Installed

New CDX plywood is installed where needed, and each sheet is numbered so the homeowner knows exactly how many were replaced.

Seams Are Taped & Ice and Water Shield Is Installed

All seams are taped to meet building code, and ice & water shield is applied along the eaves and valleys for maximum weather protection.

Underlayment & Drip Edge Are Installed

The rest of the decking is covered in Velora One synthetic underlayment to ensure a fully sealed, durable base for the new shingles.

Ice and Water Shield for the Lower Roof

Even the lower roof section gets extra attention, fully covered in ice & water shield for added protection where snow and water tend to sit.

Sleek New Look

Brian chose IKO Dynasty shingles in Summit Gray, a sleek upgrade backed by our 50-year warranty. We also installed new ridge venting and a properly sealed pipe boot.
