Roof Replacement Photo Album: Danbury, CT Flat Roof Rebuild with Premium SBS System

Danbury homeowner Chris reached out to Brown Roofing when his aging flat roof needed a dependable long-term solution. Inspector Geoffrey evaluated the home and recommended a full SBS (Styrene-Butadiene-Styrene) roofing system — the ideal choice for low-slope roofs that can't support shingles. Project Manager Noel and the crew began by removing all existing decking down to the rafters to address the roof’s underlying issues. New ½-inch CDX plywood was installed to create a strong and stable foundation. From there, the team applied a two-layer Polyglass Elastoflex SBS system: a fully adhered base sheet followed by a durable white cap sheet for maximum protection and reflectivity. After final touches and a thorough cleanup, Chris’s flat roof now has a clean, modern look — and a reliable, watertight roofing system built to last. Brown Won't Let You Down!

The Roof Before

Here's what Chris's roof looked like before the renovation. This flat roof was worn and ready for a full upgrade. Swipe through to see the dramatic transformation!

The Teardown Begins

The crew began by removing all of the existing decking - the plywood foundation of the roof. Because an SBS membrane must adhere directly to solid, healthy decking, everything had to come off.

A Clean Slate

With the roof stripped down to the rafters, the team had a clean starting point to rebuild a proper, long-lasting flat roofing system.

New Decking Is Installed

New ½-inch CDX plywood was installed to create a strong, stable base. Each sheet was numbered for accurate documentation so Chris knew exactly what was replaced.

SBS Roofing Base Is Installed

Next comes the first layer of the SBS roofing system - the base sheet. This Polyglass Elastoflex membrane is fully adhered to the decking to deliver superior waterproofing.

SBS Roof Is Completed

The second layer, called the cap sheet, is installed on top of the base. This completes the SBS system, providing a durable, weather-resistant surface. Chris chose a clean white finish for enhanced reflectivity and a crisp look.
