Brown Roofing Company, Inc. has been serving homeowners across western Connecticut since 1972, making it one of the more tenured roofing contractors operating in the Danbury, Seymour, and greater New Haven area. The company is currently led by Edward Griffin, who began working in the roofing industry at age 13 and worked his way from entry-level labor through foreman before eventually purchasing the company he’d worked for — a background that reflects deep hands-on familiarity with the technical work his crews perform on every job.
Services include roof repair, full roof replacement, metal roofing, gutter installation, gutter guard systems, chimney cleaning and repair, vinyl siding installation, replacement windows and doors, skylights, and attic insulation. That breadth positions Brown Roofing as a single-contractor resource for exterior protection and weatherproofing needs rather than a specialty-only roofing firm.
On the roofing side, the company holds a GAF Master Elite certification and an Owens Corning Platinum Preferred designation — two of the most recognized manufacturer certification tiers in the residential roofing market. GAF Master Elite status is held by fewer than 2% of roofing contractors nationwide and allows the company to offer GAF’s enhanced Golden Pledge warranty. Owens Corning Platinum Preferred similarly enables extended warranty coverage beyond what standard contractors can provide.
Brown Roofing is a local dealer for the Gutter Shutter gutter system, a proprietary covered gutter product designed to prevent clogging and sagging without requiring periodic cleaning, allowing them to offer extended warranty coverage on qualifying gutter installations.
The company has received multiple Angie’s List Super Service Awards and a local Readers’ Choice Award, and holds an A+ Better Business Bureau rating with customer reviews that are largely positive — reviewers frequently describe owner Ed Griffin personally inspecting roofs and responding quickly to leaks. As with any contractor, individual experiences vary; at least one BBB-listed complaint describes property damage during a job and a difficult resolution process, so homeowners are encouraged to review recent feedback and confirm terms in writing. Their service territory spans much of western Connecticut including Danbury, Seymour, Woodbury, Southbury, Waterbury, New Haven, Norwalk, and surrounding towns.
