Stop Worrying About Your Roof

You know that feeling when you hear wind or see storm clouds and immediately think about your roof? That stops here.

A properly installed roof means no more buckets during rainstorms. No more wondering if this winter will be the one that finally does it in. No more crossing your fingers every time the weather gets rough.

You get real protection. The kind that lets you sleep through storms instead of lying awake listening for drips. Your energy bills drop because heat stays where it belongs. Your home value goes up because buyers see a roof that’s actually in good shape.

Most importantly, you stop thinking about your roof at all. It just works, the way it should.

Colchester Roofing Company

We Actually Live Here Too

Sullivan Contracting has been installing roofs in Colchester and surrounding areas for years. We’re not the crew that shows up from three towns over with a truck full of leftover materials.

We know what Connecticut weather does to roofs because we deal with the same storms you do. We know which materials hold up and which ones are a waste of your money. We know the local building codes and inspection requirements.

When we finish your roof, we don’t disappear. We’re still here if you have questions or need service down the road. That matters when you’re making an investment this big.

Roof Installation Process

Here's How We Handle It

First, we come out and actually look at your roof. Not just from the ground – we get up there and see what’s really going on. We measure everything, check the decking, and figure out exactly what you need.

You get a written estimate that breaks down materials and labor. No surprises, no “we found additional work” halfway through the job. We pull the permits and schedule inspections so everything’s done right.

Installation day, we protect your landscaping and property first. We strip the old roof, replace any damaged decking, and install your new roof using proper techniques – not shortcuts. We clean up completely when we’re done.

You get all your warranty information, permits, and inspection certificates. Your roof is ready to handle whatever Connecticut throws at it.

What You Actually Get

Complete tear-off and replacement, not just slapping new shingles over old problems. We replace damaged decking, install proper underlayment, and use materials rated for New England weather.

You get manufacturer warranties on materials plus our warranty on workmanship. We handle all permits and inspections. We coordinate with your insurance company if this is a claim.

Every job includes complete cleanup – we don’t leave nails in your driveway or debris in your yard. We protect your gutters, siding, and landscaping during the work.

Most Colchester roof installations take 1-2 days depending on size and complexity. Weather delays happen, but we keep you informed and get back on schedule as soon as possible.

How long does a new roof installation take in Colchester?

Most residential roof installations in Colchester take 1-2 days to complete. The timeline depends on your roof size, complexity, and weather conditions. Simple ranch homes often finish in one day, while larger colonials or homes with multiple angles and features typically need two days. We always protect any unfinished areas if we need to stop work due to weather. We’ll give you a realistic timeline upfront and keep you updated if anything changes during the project.

What roofing materials work best for Connecticut weather?

Architectural shingles are the most popular choice for Connecticut homes because they handle our freeze-thaw cycles and high winds well. They’re rated for winds up to 130 mph and come with 25-30 year warranties. Metal roofing is another excellent option – it sheds snow and ice better and lasts 40+ years, though it costs more upfront. We don’t recommend basic 3-tab shingles for Connecticut because they don’t hold up to our weather extremes. We’ll recommend the best material based on your home, budget, and priorities.

Do I need permits for roof installation in Colchester?

Yes, Colchester requires building permits for complete roof replacements. We handle all permit applications and scheduling required inspections as part of our service. The permit ensures your roof meets current building codes and helps protect your home’s value. Some insurance companies also require permits for coverage. Simple repairs usually don’t need permits, but full installations always do. We make sure everything is properly documented and approved before we start work.

Will my homeowner's insurance cover roof installation costs?

Insurance coverage depends on why you need a new roof. Storm damage, hail, or fallen trees are typically covered after you meet your deductible. Normal wear and tear usually isn’t covered. We can inspect your roof and help document any storm damage for your claim. We work directly with insurance adjusters and provide detailed estimates that match their requirements. If you’re not sure about coverage, we recommend calling your insurance company before getting estimates. We can also provide documentation to support your claim.

How much does roof installation cost in Colchester CT?

Roof installation costs in Colchester typically range from $8,000-$15,000 for most homes, depending on size, materials, and complexity. Ranch homes are usually on the lower end, while larger colonials or homes with steep pitches cost more. Material choice makes a big difference – architectural shingles cost less than premium materials like metal or slate. We provide written estimates that break down all costs so you know exactly what you’re paying for. Financing options are available for qualified homeowners.

What warranty do you provide on roof installation work?

We provide a comprehensive warranty covering both materials and workmanship. Material warranties come directly from manufacturers – typically 25-30 years for shingles, longer for metal roofing. Our workmanship warranty covers installation issues for several years after completion. This includes problems with flashing, underlayment, or any installation defects. We also guarantee all permits and inspections are properly handled. All warranty terms are clearly outlined in your contract before work begins. We stand behind our work because we plan to be here for years to come.
