Roof Replacement Photo Album: Beautiful Granite Black Roof Replacement in Branford, CT

Branford homeowner Anthony reached out to Brown Roofing after noticing widespread wear on his aging roof, including moss growth and deteriorating shingles. Inspector Darwin performed a full evaluation and confirmed that the roof was overdue for replacement. Project Manager Connor and his expert crew handled the transformation from start to finish. They removed the old shingles, inspected the plywood decking, and replaced all damaged sections with new CDX plywood. The rafters were treated with Mold-X to prevent future mold growth, and a complete underlayment system was installed — including SealoronXT ice-and-water shield and Velora One synthetic underlayment. The roof was finished with IKO Dynasty shingles in Anthony’s chosen shade of Granite Black, offering excellent durability and backed by our 50-year Brown Roofing warranty. New chimney flashing, ridge venting, and upgraded pipe boots completed the system. Anthony now has a clean, strong, fully updated roofing system built to last for decades. Brown Won't Let You Down!

Before: Worn Shingles & Moss Growth

A closer look reveals worn, curling shingles and patches of moss growth. Definitely time for an upgrade - let's get to work!

The Old Shingles Come Off

The crew begins by carefully removing all of the old shingles. Underneath is a layer of plywood called the decking, which serves as the structural foundation of the roof.

Bad Plywood Is Removed

Since decking is crucial to the stability of the roofing system, it must be thoroughly inspected. Any sections showing signs of rot, mold, or decay are removed. In this case, the rafters were also treated with Mold-X to stop future regrowth.

New Plywood Is Installed

All removed areas are replaced with brand-new CDX plywood, ensuring a strong and reliable base for the new roofing system.

Seams Are Taped & Ice and Water Shield Is Installed

Every plywood seam is taped with all-weather deck tape to meet current building codes. SealoronXT ice-and-water shield is installed from the eaves up six feet, along all valleys, and around every roof penetration for maximum protection.

Underlayment Is Completed

Velora One synthetic underlayment is applied across the remainder of the decking, creating a breathable yet water-resistant barrier.

The New Shingles Go On

Now for the new shingles! Anthony chose the sleek and durable Granite Black from our IKO Dynasty collection. These Impact-3 rated architectural shingles are proudly backed by our 50-year warranty.

The Finishing Touches

Finishing touches include new chimney flashing, ridge vent installation, and upgraded pipe boots, ensuring every component of the roof is fully protected.
