Roof Replacement Photo Album: West Haven, CT Roof Rescue: Emergency Tarp to Premium Roofing System

West Haven homeowner Antonio first connected with Brown Roofing after discovering a hole in his roof, which required an emergency tarp to keep his home protected. Once the immediate issue was secured, Inspector Chase returned for a full evaluation and confirmed that Antonio’s aging roof, and its patched, moss-covered sections, needed a complete replacement. Project Manager Bill and the crew got to work by removing the old shingles and addressing the outdated tongue-and-groove decking, reinforcing it with CDX plywood to create a strong, modern base. The team installed SealoronXT ice-and-water shield, Velora One synthetic underlayment, and brand-new flashing before finishing the roof with striking Frostone Gray IKO Dynasty shingles, backed by our 50-year warranty. With the final touches complete, Antonio now has a clean, durable, and dependable roofing system: no more tarps, no more worries, just a roof built to perform. Brown Won't Let You Down!

The Roof Before

Here's what Antonio's roof looked like from the front before the renovation. Swipe through to see the transformation!

Before: Many Issues

A closer look shows the roof was in rough shape - a tarp, patchwork repairs, and heavy moss growth. Clear signs it was overdue for a full replacement.

The Teardown Begins

The crew began by removing all the old shingles. Underneath is the sheathing - the plywood foundation of the roof - which must be structurally sound before any new materials go on.

New Plywood Is Installed

Antonio's home had an older style of sheathing called tongue-and-groove. To bring the roof up to modern standards and support today's heavier architectural shingles, the crew installed strong CDX plywood over the existing planks.

New Plywood Is Installed Part 2

Each new sheet of plywood was numbered for accurate reporting so Antonio would know exactly how many were used.

Seams Are Taped and Ice and Water Shield Is Installed

All plywood seams were sealed 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 for maximum protection in vulnerable areas.

Underlayment Completed & Drip Edge and Rake Metal Are Installed

Velora One synthetic underlayment was installed over the remaining decking, creating a breathable yet water-resistant barrier. Drip edge and rake metal flashing were placed along all roof edges to prevent water intrusion and guide runoff properly.

New Shingles Are Installed

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