Before & After Photos

This home traded its worn, damaged roof for a new finished with IKO Dynasty Granite Black shingles. The upgraded roof improves curb appeal, as well as adding extra protection against Connecticut weather.

 A missing shingle near the ridge left the roof vulnerable to wind-driven rain and moisture. Even a small opening can let water work its way under the surrounding shingles and into the roof system.

The missing shingle area was repaired to restore the roof’s protective surface and help keep water out. This repair helps extend the life of the roof and prevents a small problem from turning into a larger leak.

We removed old shingles and installed a new GAF Hickory Lift Time roofing system on this Southington, CT condo complex. 

The roof on this home was in an extremely bad condition all the shingles were waterlogged, and there was moss, lichen, and algae growing all over. On top of that the shingles had color fade due to old age.

The first thing we did was remove the shingles so we could see why there was so much growth and water. To no surprise, the plywood underneath was soaked, rotting, and moldy. We replaced the rotted sheets and added extra support to the joists just to be sure.

Next, we laid down decking tape, Sealeron Ice and Water, and a synthetic underlayment. These three layers help protect and insulate the roof.

Finally, we can install the shingles and this customer decided on our IKO Dynasty Sentinel Slate Shingles. When installing the shingles we always start from the bottom and work our way up to ensure that every shingle overlaps properly. This overlap is what directs the water off the roof and away from the home. As we install the shingles we also install flashings around all the openings in the roof, and anywhere the shingles touch the siding. 

In one short day, this homeowner had a brand new roof installed that is guaranteed to last for 50 years.

This home in Southington underwent a major transformation when the Brown Roofing team installed a brand new roof. IKO Dynasty shingles were installed, in the color Biscayne. Copper roof flashing was installed, and it gives this home unique character.
