Roof Replacement Photo Album: Easton, CT Roof Replacement Featuring Two Roofing Systems

Easton homeowner Christian reached out to Brown Roofing to replace his aging roof, and Inspector Austin came out to perform a thorough inspection and walk him through his options. Due to the condition of the existing roof, the project included a full decking replacement with new CDX plywood, along with upgraded protection such as ice and water shield, all-weather deck tape, Velora One synthetic underlayment, and new drip edge and rake metal. Project Manager Carlos and his crew completed the installation, including architectural shingles and a specialized SBS roofing system for the home’s low-slope sections, as well as custom work around the chimney and skylights. The roof was finished with IKO Dynasty shingles in Summit Gray, new Velux skylights, proper ventilation, and a complete cleanup, resulting in a durable, polished roof with major curb appeal. Brown Won't Let You Down!

The Old Roof

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

The Teardown Begins

The crew gets started by carefully removing the old shingles. Protective tarps are placed around the home to keep the property safe and make cleanup quick and efficient.

The Decking Is Exposed & Inspected

Beneath the shingles is the roof decking: the structural foundation of the entire roofing system. This layer is closely inspected for any signs of rot, mold, or deterioration.

New Plywood Is Installed

Due to the age and condition of the existing decking, it was best to replace it entirely. New CDX plywood was installed to create a strong, reliable base for the new roof.

Seams Are Taped and Ice and Water Shield Is Installed

All plywood seams are sealed with all-weather deck tape to meet current building codes. Ice and water shield is then installed along the eaves, valleys, and roof penetrations for added protection.

Underlayment Is Installed

Velora One synthetic underlayment is applied over the remaining surface, creating a breathable, water-resistant layer. Drip edge and rake metal flashing are then installed to direct water away from the fascia and into the gutters.

New Cricket for the Chimney

A chimney cricket is installed behind the chimney to help divert water away from the bricks and prevent pooling. Built strong and sturdy... yes, it's designed to handle that kind of weight!

New Shingles Are Installed

Now it's time for the new shingles! Christian chose the sleek shade Summit Gray from our IKO Dynasty collection: Impact 3-rated architectural shingles backed by our 50-year warranty.

Completed Chimney Cricket & Flashing

Flashing is installed where the chimney meets the roof to prevent water from seeping in at the junction. The chimney cricket is also shingled, tying everything together for a clean, finished look.

Ridge Vent Is Installed

A ridge vent is installed to allow hot, humid air to escape the attic, helping reduce moisture buildup. Matching ridge cap shingles are installed over top for a seamless finish.

SBS Roof Base Is Installed

This section of Christian's roof has a low slope, which requires a specialized SBS roofing system. The base layer is adhered directly to the plywood for proper waterproofing.
