Roof Replacement Photo Album: Seymour, CT Roof Transformation With Stunning Biscayne Shingles

Seymour homeowner Cheryl reached out to Brown Roofing when her 26-year-old roof started showing significant wear, discoloration, and lichen growth. Inspector Austin performed a full evaluation and helped her understand exactly what needed to be done to restore the roof the right way. Project Manager Austin and the crew removed the old shingles, replaced all damaged sections of decking with brand-new CDX plywood, and installed a complete underlayment system including SealoronXT ice-and-water shield and Velora One synthetic underlayment. The new roofing system was finished with stunning IKO Dynasty shingles in Biscayne, along with new ridge ventilation and upgraded metal flashing to ensure long-term durability. Now Cheryl’s home has a clean, secure, beautifully renewed roof she can count on.

Here's what Cheryl's roof looked like from the driveway before the renovation. Swipe through to see the beautiful transformation!

Prepping the Property

From this angle, you can really see the discoloration and heavy lichen growth on the old shingles. Before teardown begins, the crew lays out and hangs large heavy-duty tarps to protect the property and to catch falling debris for a cleaner, more efficient process.

The Teardown Begins

The crew carefully strips all of the old shingles. Beneath them is the plywood layer known as the decking-the structural foundation of the entire roof.

Bad Plywood Is Removed

Because the decking is critical to the roof's strength, it must be in excellent condition. Any sections showing signs of rot, mold, or decay are removed.

New Plywood Is Installed

Brand-new CDX plywood is installed in place of the damaged sections, creating a solid and secure base for the new roofing system.

Seams Are Taped & Ice and Water Shield Is Installed

All plywood seams are taped with all-weather deck tape to meet current building codes. SealoronXT ice-and-water shield is then adhered from the eaves up six feet, providing watertight protection in the most vulnerable areas.

Underlayment Completed & Drip Edge Flashing Installed

The remaining decking is covered in Velora One synthetic underlayment, creating a breathable yet water-resistant barrier. Drip edge and rake metal flashing (a thin metal barrier) are installed around the roof edges to prevent water infiltration and guide runoff into the gutters.

New Shingles Are Installed

Now for the new shingles! Cheryl selected the stunning Biscayne shade from our premium IKO Dynasty collection. These Impact-3 rated shingles are backed by our 50-year warranty.

Ridge Vent Is Installed

A ridge vent is installed along the peak of the roof to allow hot, humid air rising from inside the home to escape, preventing damaging condensation buildup.
