Roof Replacement Photo Album: Westport, CT Roof Replacement With Complete Decking Restoration

Weston homeowner Paul reached out to Brown Roofing after discovering he had three layers of shingles on his roof, along with rotted plywood underneath. Inspector Chase performed a detailed assessment and walked Paul through exactly what his home needed for a safe, long-lasting solution. Project Manager Carlos and the crew removed all three layers, stripped the decking completely down to the rafters, and rebuilt the base with brand-new CDX plywood. After installing SealoronXT ice-and-water shield, Velora One underlayment, and full edge flashing, the team finished the roof with IKO Dynasty shingles in Paul’s chosen shade of Biscayne, backed by our 50-year warranty. Now Paul’s home has a clean, beautiful, and structurally sound roofing system that’s finally built the right way. Brown Won't Let You Down!

The Old Roof

Here's what Paul's roof looked like before we transformed it. Swipe through to see the dramatic improvement!

Three Layers & Rotted Plywood

Inspector Chase discovered three layers of shingles on Paul's roof, far more than code currently allows, along with rotted plywood underneath. Multiple layers trap moisture and accelerate damage, so this roof definitely needed a full replacement.

The Teardown Begins

The crew began by removing all existing shingles. Large protective tarps were hung around the home to catch debris and keep Paul's property fully protected throughout the teardown.

Bad Plywood Is Removed

Once the shingles were removed, the plywood decking, which is the structural foundation of the roof, was fully exposed. As expected, the decking was severely compromised and had to be taken out.

A Clean Slate

The roof was stripped completely down to the rafters for a clean, solid start. Strong new CDX plywood was installed to rebuild a safe, durable base for the new roofing system.

New Plywood Is Installed

Each sheet of new plywood is numbered for accurate tracking, so Paul would know exactly how many were installed during the rebuild.

Seams Are Taped & Ice and Water Shield Is Installed

All plywood seams were taped with all-weather deck tape to meet building codes. SealoronXT ice-and-water shield was applied from the eaves up six feet and throughout all valleys to provide maximum protection in the most vulnerable areas.

Underlayment is Completed and Drip Edge Is Installed

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

New Shingles Are Installed

Time for shingles! Paul chose the stunning Biscayne color from our IKO Dynasty collection. These Impact-3 rated architectural shingles are backed by our 50-year Brown Roofing warranty.

New Flashing Is Installed on the Chimney

New chimney flashing, a thin, durable metal barrier, was installed around the base of the chimney to ensure a watertight seal at this critical junction.
