What's Included in Your Installation

Your roof installation includes removal of old materials, inspection and replacement of damaged decking, proper underlayment installation, and complete new roofing system. We handle permits, cleanup, and disposal of old materials.

We use quality materials designed for Connecticut’s climate. Asphalt shingles, metal roofing, or other systems depending on your needs and preferences. All work comes with manufacturer warranties on materials and our warranty on workmanship.

You also get guidance on maintenance, ventilation improvements if needed, and help with insurance claims if your installation is storm-related. We document everything properly because we know insurance companies require specific information and photos.

How long does a typical roof installation take in East Lyme?

Most residential roof installations take 1-3 days depending on the size of your home, weather conditions, and complexity of the roof design. A simple ranch home might be completed in one day, while a larger two-story home with multiple angles typically takes 2-3 days. We always protect your home with tarps if weather threatens during the installation process. We’ll give you a realistic timeline during your initial consultation based on your specific roof.

What roofing materials work best for Connecticut coastal weather?

Architectural asphalt shingles are the most popular choice in East Lyme because they handle wind, rain, and temperature changes well while offering good value. Metal roofing is excellent for longevity and storm resistance but costs more upfront. We don’t recommend basic 3-tab shingles for coastal areas because they don’t hold up as well to wind. The key is proper installation with quality underlayment – that matters more than the specific shingle brand in most cases.

Do I need permits for roof installation in East Lyme?

Yes, East Lyme requires permits for roof replacement projects. We handle the permit application process for you, including submitting plans and ensuring the work meets local building codes. The permit cost is typically included in our project estimate. Having proper permits protects you if you sell your home later and ensures the work is inspected for quality and safety. Some contractors skip permits to save money, but that creates problems for homeowners down the road.

How much does roof installation cost in East Lyme?

Roof installation costs vary based on size, materials, and complexity, but most East Lyme homeowners invest between $12,000-$25,000 for a complete roof replacement. Factors affecting price include roof size, pitch, number of penetrations like chimneys and skylights, and material choice. We provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs so you know exactly what you’re paying for. Beware of estimates that seem too low – they often lead to change orders and surprise costs later.

What warranty do you provide on roof installation work?

We provide a comprehensive warranty on our workmanship, and all materials come with manufacturer warranties. Asphalt shingles typically carry 25-50 year material warranties depending on the product you choose. Our installation warranty covers any issues related to our work, including leaks caused by improper installation. We put all warranty terms in writing so you know exactly what’s covered. Keep in mind that warranties are only as good as the company behind them, which is why choosing an established local contractor matters.

Can you help with insurance claims for roof replacement?

Yes, we regularly work with homeowners on insurance claims for storm-damaged roofs. We can document damage properly, provide detailed estimates that insurance companies accept, and communicate directly with adjusters when needed. We know what insurance companies look for and how to present information to support your claim. However, we don’t handle public adjusting – we focus on the roofing work itself. If your claim is complex, we can recommend qualified public adjusters who specialize in insurance negotiations.
