Roof Replacement Photo Album: Skillfully Sleek Roof Replacement in Shelton, CT

Shelton homeowner Erika reached out to Brown Roofing after noticing her older three-tab roof had heavy staining, moss growth, and signs of deterioration. Inspector Abdul performed a detailed examination and explained exactly what her home needed for a long-lasting, dependable roofing system. Project Manager Carlos and the crew removed all the aging shingles, replaced damaged sections of plywood decking with new CDX sheets, and installed a full underlayment system including SealoronXT ice-and-water shield and Velora One synthetic underlayment. The roof was then finished with IKO Dynasty shingles in Erika’s chosen shade of Frostone Gray, along with brand-new chimney flashing and a ridge vent for proper ventilation. Now, her home has a clean, durable, and beautifully upgraded roof built to perform and built to last. Brown Won't Let You Down!

The Old Roof

Here's what Erika's roof looked like before the renovation. These three-tab shingles were well past their lifespan, covered in staining, moss, and lichen growth. Swipe through to see the stunning transformation!

The Teardown Begins

The crew begins by carefully removing all of the old shingles. Large protective tarps are laid and hung around the property to catch debris and prevent any potential damage during the teardown.

The Teardown Continues

Before the roofing phase began, our expert masons repointed the chimney from the roofline up. Their craftsmanship created a clean, watertight finish to support the upcoming roof installation.

The Decking Is Inspected

Beneath the shingles is a layer of plywood called the decking. This is the structural foundation of the entire roofing system.

Bad Plywood Is Removed & New Plywood Is Installed

The decking must be in excellent condition, so the crew inspects every section for signs of rot, mold, or decay. Any compromised areas are fully removed.

Ice & Water Shield Is Installed

Each new sheet of plywood is numbered for accurate reporting back to the homeowner. Once installed, all seams are taped with all-weather deck tape to meet building code. SealoronXT ice-and-water shield is then applied from the eaves up six feet for maximum protection in vulnerable areas.

Underlayment Is Completed

Velora One synthetic underlayment is installed over the rest of the decking to create a breathable yet water-resistant barrier. Drip edge and rake metal flashing are added along the edges to prevent water infiltration and guide runoff into the gutters.

New Shingles Are Installed

Time for the new shingles! Erika chose the beautiful Frostone Gray from our IKO Dynasty collection. These Impact-3 rated architectural shingles are proudly backed by our 50-year Brown Roofing warranty.

Ridge Vent Is Installed

A ridge vent is installed along the highest ridges of the roof to allow hot, humid air from the attic to escape, preventing condensation, and increasing ventilation.
