Before & After Photos

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. 

The Brown Roofing team installed new vinyl siding onto this home in Hamden, Connecticut. New siding can help a homeowner feel confidant in the appearance of their home, and tailor it to their preferences. In addition, new siding can further ensure the safety of a home, and provide an upgraded level of protection from the elements.

The existing shingle on tis roof in Hamden were aged and worn. The Brown Roofing team took care of this issue by installing all new IKO Dynasty shingles. These shingles have excellent strength and impact resistance. Our crew also installed a new ridge vent onto the roof. This vent will release hot air from the attic, preventing condensation and mold. 

This homeowner worked with Inspector Coleton and Project Manager Austin to choose IKO Dynasty AR Class 3 Shingles in Biscayne.

Brown Won't Let You Down!

This customer called us out to their home because a small section of their roof was leaking. This part of the roof happened to be a flat roof and instead of shingles so we installed an EPDM system. 

This system works differently than a shingle roof and they are mainly installed because of a low sloped roof. If the slope of a roof is too low typically a four-pitch and under an EPDM or SBS roof should be installed. 

The first step to a rubber roof is to strip the existing roof down to the decking layer and inspect it to see if it needs to be replaced. If it is an older roof then the wood needs to be replaced more often than not because the original installers used to glue the ISO boards directly to the plywood decking layer instead of using fasteners. Once this was done we laid down our own ISO board which is screwed down with the help of a 2-inch diameter plate. We also follow a specific pattern to ensure that the entire board is secure. 

Next, we lay down the rubber, this rubber is secured using a specially-made rubber adhesive. This adhesive is designed to mate the ISO board and rubber together and is extremely sticky creating an amazing bond. In the past, this adhesive needed to be rolled onto the rubber and then had to sit for about 30 minutes so it could tack up but now we can spray the adhesive and apply rubber immediately making the process more streamlined and exact. We also removed the siding on the wall to wrap the rubber up the wall then secured it with adhesive and a termination bar. 

To finish off the roof we add C-6 rake metals all around the edges of the roof and tape all the seams with a special seam tape. This was a small and simple job that took just under half a day, but by the end, the homeowner was ecstatic with the final product and glad they went with Brown Roofing.
