Before & After Photos

Algae, moss, and lichen once covered this roof, but now beautiful IKO Dynasty shingles make this home look fantastic! This transformation is thanks the efforts of the Brown Roofing team, who preformed a roof replacement for this customer in Hamden. This home had an incredible visual transformation! However, this homeowner might value their home's new grade of safety the most. Summit Gray was the shingle color chosen by our customer for their home's new look. 

This old chimney in Hamden needed a lot of help. The chimney crown was almost fully eroded, the flue was damaged, and the mortar was aged and weakened. Once the Brown Roofing team re-built this chimney, this chimney's problems were solved. This chimney can now preform its job well, all while losing great. 

This customer's roof was in need of several repairs. Our Brown Roofing team re-flashed this home's headwall and sky light, installed ice and water shield, and installed perma boots. These measures will help this roof preform well when exposed to the elements. These pictures show all of the hard work that is put in by our team to complete just one of these tasks. The crew removed the shingles around this skylight, installed ice and water shield, re-flashed the skylight, and then re-shingled this area.

This job was massive, this roof was over 4,800 square feet with complicated gable dormers. There were spots all around the front side of the home that were covered in lichen. Even on a hot sunny day, the front of the roof remained cool and damp which signified that there was major water damage within the roof.

The first thing that we did was rip up the old shingles. After that, we could take a better look at the decking layer below. Sure enough, the roots of the lichen reached the plywood allowing water to seep through into the home. This water causes the decking layer to rot and mold over time.

Next, we ripped up every rotting piece of plywood and replaced them with brand-new sheets of plywood. Once this was done we laid down decking tape, Sealeron Ice and Water, and a synthetic underlayment. These three layers help insulate the home and they also help seal the home from the elements. 

Finally, we can install the shingles and flashings. When installing the shingles we always start at the bottommost edge so the shingles overlap properly. We install the flashings over any openings in the roof like vents and chimneys, but we also install them anywhere the shingles meet the siding.

Now that this customer has a brand new roof they can have peace of mind knowing that their home will be safe and sound all year round.

The original roof on this home in Hamden was worn out and stained. However, this home looks amazing after a roof replacement from the Brown Roofing team. All new IKO Dynasty shingles provide a great new look, and high-quality protection for this home.
