Oxford, CT Roofing & Gutter Company

Production Manager Bill observed moderate surface wear on the asphalt shingles, along with granule loss and dark scuffing or staining in several areas, especially through the center section of the roof. There was also leaf and debris buildup on the roof surface, which can trap moisture and contribute to premature wear over time.

The roof-to-wall transition near the siding was an area of concern, as it is more vulnerable to flashing issues and potential water intrusion. While there were no obvious missing shingles visible in the image, the roof appeared aged and worn, with early signs of deterioration, especially in the main runoff and higher-traffic areas. After evaluating the condition of the roof, the homeowner decided to move forward with a full roof replacement using IKO Dynasty shingles.

Oxford homeowner Steve needed a full roof replacement for his house, so he called Brown Roofing. According to the appointment notes, the roof was about 40 years old, and Steve had lived in the home for the past 13 years. Recently, he began noticing a small leak near the wood-burning stove area and wanted to have the roof inspected.

Inspector Austin went out to perform a full inspection and quickly confirmed that the roof had reached the end of its lifespan. The roof had two layers of shingles, and the top layer was already peeling and deteriorating. Austin walked Steve through our process and material options, and he felt confident moving forward with us.

Project Manager Connor and his expert crew got to work. First, they removed both layers of old shingles and carefully inspected the underlying plywood foundation, known as the roof sheathing. Any damaged areas were removed and replaced with strong half-inch CDX plywood to create a solid base for the new roof.

Some sections of the home still had older tongue-and-groove decking, so the crew precisely cut new plywood to fit seamlessly into those areas where planks needed to be replaced.

With the sheathing secured, the crew installed ice and water shield along the eaves, extending six feet up the roof for maximum protection. They sealed all seams with all-weather deck tape in accordance with building codes and installed Velora One synthetic underlayment across the remaining surface.

Next, drip edge and rake metal flashing were installed around the roof perimeter to prevent water intrusion and ensure proper drainage into the gutter system.

Then it was time for the shingles. Steve selected IKO Dynasty shingles in the beautiful shade of Driftshake, backed by The Brown Promise: our 50-year warranty. The crew also replaced the small bay window roof sections to ensure every part of the home had the same high-quality protection.

To complete the system, a ridge vent was installed to allow warm, humid air inside the attic to escape, helping prevent moisture buildup and extending the life of the roof. Ridge cap shingles were then installed for a clean, finished appearance.

After securing all flashing around roof pipes and chimney areas and performing a thorough cleanup of the entire property, Steve’s roof was officially complete, looking fantastic and ready to keep his home safe and dry for decades to come.

Brown Won't Let You Down!

Oxford homeowner Linda reached out to Brown Roofing initially looking for a repair — but once Inspector Geoffrey evaluated the roof, it was clear a full replacement was the only responsible solution. The home, nestled in a heavily wooded area, had significant moss growth across the shingles and a large tarp covering the rear section, signaling long-term moisture issues and structural concerns.

Project Manager Connor and his crew began by removing the failing roofing materials and discovered widespread decking deterioration. Due to the extent of moisture damage, all of the roof decking was replaced to create a clean, structurally sound foundation. On the main roof sections, the team installed deck tape, ice and water shield, and synthetic underlayment before finishing with IKO Dynasty architectural shingles in Frostone Gray.

The rear section of the home, which had been covered by a tarp, featured a low-slope design that required a code-compliant SBS roofing system. The crew installed a two-layer SBS system (base and cap) to ensure proper waterproofing, along with new chimney flashing to eliminate future leak risks.

What began as a “repair inquiry” became a full structural reset, and now Linda’s Oxford home has a durable, modern roofing system designed to handle the wooded surroundings and keep moisture where it belongs: outside!

Brown Won't Let You Down!

Oxford homeowner Carolyn called Brown Roofing knowing it was time for a full roof replacement. Inspector Rick went out to assess the situation and confirmed what she suspected: the roof had reached the end of its life. After walking her through our process and premium materials, Carolyn felt confident moving forward with us for a high-quality, long-lasting solution.

Project Manager Noel and his expert crew took care of the installation. They began by removing the old shingles and inspecting the underlying plywood sheathing. Any damaged sections, such as those affected by rot or mold, were replaced with strong half-inch CDX plywood to ensure a sturdy foundation.

With the sheathing secure, the crew installed six feet of ice and water shield from the eaves upward, sealed all seams with all-weather deck tape to meet code, and covered the remaining surface with Velora One synthetic underlayment. Drip edge and rake metal flashing were then installed to help direct water into the gutters and protect the roof’s edges.

Carolyn selected Frostone Gray from our IKO Dynasty collection: a clean, contemporary shade backed by The Brown Promise: our 50-year warranty. A ridge vent was installed along the roof’s peak to promote airflow and reduce attic moisture, topped with ridge cap shingles for a seamless finish.

After flashing was secured around all roof pipes and the chimney and a full property cleanup, Carolyn’s roof was officially complete: sleek, durable, and ready to take on whatever the Connecticut weather has in store.
