Before & After Photos

The Brown Roofing team repaired this customer's chimney in Derby Connecticut. The chimney was repainted, and a new chimney cap and crown was installed. When the repairs were completed, the crew sealed the chimney with Geocel 700 Chimney Sealer.

This home’s roof was in bad shape and needed to be replaced. From the surface, this home seemed to need new underlayments and shingles but once we took a look in the attic we found mold and rotting wood. This warranted a full roof replacement. 

The first step in this process is to rip off the existing shingles and usually inspect the decking layer below but because we knew that it was snake bitten we started to rip up the old rotting plywood, and we were glad we did because the whole underside of these sheets were covered in mold. Once the decking layer was taken care of we, moved on to installing the underlayments. This layer consists of 3 different materials that work together to create a water-tight yet breathable barrier that protects the home.

Lastly, we could install the shingles and flashings, when installing the shingles we always start from the bottom-most edge and work our way up and across the roof to ensure the shingles are layered and staggered correctly. As we work our way up we install flashings around any penetrations in the roof with the correct corresponding material. By the end of the day, this homeowner received a beautiful new roof that will not only keep their family safe and dry but also increase the curb appeal of their home exponentially.

This homeowner's roof was in need of an update. The Brown Roofing team delivered, with a full roof replacement. The stark change in appearance of this roof is clear, but the process to achieve this great result is not so simple. The crew started by removed all of the stained and worn shingles. Next, any damaged wood was replaced, and underlayment was installed as another measure of protection. Finally, new IKO Dynasty shingles in the color Frostone Gray were added, in order to complete this home's transformation. 

Part of this customer's home has flat roofing. The Brown Roofing team replaced this area. The first photo is a great example of all of the hard work that goes into these roof replacements. The result of our crew's hard work is a neat and clean result that this homeowner can be confident in. 

When the Brown Roofing team replaced this customer's roof, they also installed ridge vents. After stripping the ares of the existing shingles, which is pictured in the first image, the crew installed vents along the ridges of this roof. The vent was topped with IKO Dynasty shingles in the color Frostone Gray. This allows for a seamless look, with the ridge vent only showing through a back outline along the ridge, as can be seen in the second photo.
