Roof Replacement Photo Album: Norwalk, CT Roof Rebuilt Right: New Decking, New Flashing, New Shingles

Norwalk homeowner Thomas reached out to Brown Roofing after noticing that his 27-year-old roof was showing clear signs of wear. Inspector Mat completed a full evaluation and confirmed that several sections of the underlying decking were deteriorating, making a full replacement the smartest long-term solution. Project Manager Carlos and the crew removed the old shingles, replaced all damaged plywood with strong new CDX sheets, and installed a complete underlayment system, including ice and water shield in vulnerable areas. The new roof was finished with IKO Dynasty shingles in the striking shade of Summit Gray, paired with brand-new chimney flashing and a properly built cricket for improved drainage. Now, Thomas’s home has a clean, modern, and durable roofing system built for lasting performance. Brown Won't Let You Down!

The Roof Before

Here's what Thomas's roof looked like before the renovation. Swipe through to see the dramatic improvement!

Before: Exposed Ice and Water Shield

This area is called a roof valley, one of the most vulnerable parts of any roof. The ice-and-water shield from a previous install was fully exposed, which shouldn't happen and definitely affects curb appeal. Let's fix that.

The Teardown Begins

The crew begins by carefully removing all of the old shingles, exposing the plywood foundation underneath. This layer is called the decking.

Bad Plywood Is Removed

Because the decking is the structural base of the roof, it must be in excellent condition. Any sections found with rot, decay, or other damage are removed. Thomas's roof had several areas that needed replacement.

New Plywood Is Installed

Brand-new CDX plywood is installed to replace the compromised sections. This strong, water-resistant material creates a sturdy foundation for the new roofing system.

New Chimney Cricket Is Installed

A new chimney cricket is built and installed to properly divert water away from the back of the chimney, protecting this high-risk junction from future leaks.

New Shingles & New Flashing

Fresh shingles go on next. Thomas selected the sleek shade Summit Gray from our premium laminated IKO Dynasty collection. These Impact-3 rated shingles are backed by our 50-year warranty. New metal flashing is also installed around the chimney to ensure a clean, watertight seal.
