Roof Replacement Photo Album: Monroe, CT Homeowner Chooses Granite Black for a Sleek New Roof

Monroe homeowner Courtney reached out to Brown Roofing knowing her aging roof had reached the end of its lifespan. Inspector Tyler performed a full evaluation and confirmed significant shingle wear, staining, and lichen growth throughout the roof. After reviewing our process and materials, Courtney felt confident moving forward with us. Project Manager Carlos and the crew removed the old shingles, replaced all damaged sections of plywood decking with new CDX, and installed a full underlayment system including ice and water shield and Velora One synthetic underlayment. The transformation was completed with IKO Dynasty shingles in Granite Black, a bold and durable choice backed by our 50-year warranty. With the final cleanup complete, and new gutters installed as well, Courtney’s home now has a strong, modern roofing system built to protect and look beautiful for decades. Brown Won't Let You Down!

Here is a look at Courtney's roof before the replacement. Swipe through to see the amazing transformation!

Before: Worn Shingles & Lichen

These old, discolored shingles were well past their lifespan. The dark valley staining and white lichen spots show moisture retention and debris buildup, both signs that the roof needed attention.

The Teardown Begins

The crew begins by carefully removing all of the old shingles. Before teardown, large tarps are hung around the home to catch falling debris and fully protect the property throughout the process.

Bad Plywood Is Removed

Once the shingles are removed, the plywood decking is exposed. This structural foundation must be in excellent condition, so any areas showing rot, mold, or decay are identified and removed.

New Plywood Is Installed

Brand-new CDX plywood is installed to replace the compromised sections, creating a strong, stable 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. Ice and water shield membrane is applied from the eaves up six feet and throughout all valleys to fully protect the roof's most vulnerable areas.

Underlayment Is Completed

The rest of the decking is then covered with Velora One synthetic underlayment, forming a durable, water-resistant foundation for the new shingles.

New Shingles Go On

For her new roof, Courtney chose IKO Dynasty shingles in the sleek shade Granite Black. These premium, Impact 3-rated shingles are proudly backed by our 50-year warranty.
