For this job, our team went to this awesome farm in Harwinton. The Wood family, also known as the farm owners, were in dire need of a new sheet metal roof for their main building. The original sheet metal roof had started to rust in several areas and around most screws. This rust opened up holes for water to find its way into the building.
We ripped up the original roof along with certain sections of the decking layer. We only had to patch some of the plywood sheets as most of the roof was still reusable which saved the Wood family money. After the new sheets of plywood were down we installed the underlayment and Ice and Water which acts as another layer of protection against the elements.
Next, it was time for the new sheet metal. Our metal roofs run from top to bottom and each sheet interlocks with each other to ensure that the roof looks as seamless as possible. Comparing the old roof to the new one there is no more rust or leaking gaps and there are no more ugly screws everywhere. The Wood family now has a brand new roof for their main building which not only looks amazing, but it will also keep them safe and dry.
This Harwinton, CT property owner chose IKO Dynasty Granite Black shingles and The Brown Promise, our 50 Year Warranty. No more worries about roof leaks or roof repairs.

On this roof there was a lot of algae build up and color fade. Over time the algae on roofs eat away the UV protective layer which causes the shingles to fade faster than normal. The Abate family decided to go with our IKO Dynasty Brownstone Shingles which perfectly pairs with their beige siding. We also repaired their damaged trim and color matched it to the rest of the house.
For this home, our team replaced the roof and installed gutters. The roof was not in the worst condition, the shingles still had some life in them but they were fully covered in lichen and algae and this compromised them. Due to the lichen and a leaky flashing around the chimney the decking layer started to rot and needed to be replaced. We replaced the decking layer and laid down an Underlayment along with Ice and Water and this ensures that their roof would not leak again even if water somehow got through the shingles. This customer decided on our IKO Dynasty Shadow Brown Shingles. By the end of the day, they had a brand new roof that is guaranteed to keep them safe and dry for the next 50 years.
