At this 1990s home located in Somers, CT we completely stripped off the existing roof and replaced it with a new roofing system. We first tore off the existing shingles and roofing material and hauled them to the Asphalt Roof Recycling Center to be turned into asphalt pavement for roads.
We then replaced any damaged plywood decking and laid down Ice & Water Shield to create a moisture barrier between the decking and the shingles. For even more protection, we installed a synthetic underlayment, a durable, tear-resistant material that is engineered to repel water and adhere to the roofing surface. To top it off, we replaced the old chimney flashing with new lead flashing and installed a VentSure Ridge Vent to provide consistent attic ventilation to the home.
At this large colonial home located in Somers, CT, we completely stripped and installed a brand new roofing system.

This ranch home in Marlborough, CT had a roof that was about 25 years old with excessive leaking around the skylights. We stripped the old shingles, to start fresh at the decking. All of our disposed of asphalt is brought to a facility to be processed into recycled road asphalt. The ProArmor Synthetic Underlayment is installed beneath the shingles, which is another layer of water repellant material. We replaced the skylights with Velux Skylights, and flashed them to prevent any future leaking.
When we replaced the roof here in Marlborough, the owners also wanted better ventilation. We installed two attic fans to help remove the excess heat from the attic. This will reduce ice dams and cool the home in the Winter.
This 1970's ranch-style home located in Marlborough, CT was in need of a new roof replacement. This home was equipped with old single tabbed shingles, which don't last as long as new architectural style shingles. We stripped the existing roof and laid down new plywood decking to support the structure of the home. We then laid down Ice & Water Shield and ProArmor Synthetic Underlayment to protect the home from any moisture from the outside elements. This home needed a new bathroom exhaust vent hood with a built-in damper which includes a new flex duct from the fan to the hood. The small chimney on this home also needed some new lead flashing to prevent any future leaks from entering the home.
