Everything Your Roof Needs, Done Right

Your roof installation includes complete removal of old materials, inspection and replacement of damaged decking, proper ventilation installation, and high-quality underlayment that actually protects against ice dams.

We install gutters, flashing, and ridge vents as part of a complete roofing system. In Exeter’s climate, these details matter—they’re what prevent the expensive problems that show up years later.

You also get manufacturer warranties on materials plus our workmanship guarantee. We use materials rated for Connecticut weather conditions, not the cheapest options that’ll need replacing in a few years.

How long does a typical roof installation take in Exeter?

Most residential roof installations in Exeter take 1-3 days, depending on the size of your home and weather conditions. A typical ranch or cape-style home usually takes 1-2 days, while larger colonials or homes with complex rooflines may take 2-3 days. We always give you a realistic timeline upfront and keep you updated if weather delays the project. We work efficiently but never rush the job—proper installation is more important than speed.

What roofing materials work best for Connecticut weather?

Architectural asphalt shingles are the most popular choice in Connecticut because they handle our freeze-thaw cycles well and offer good value. For homes in Exeter, we typically recommend shingles rated for high winds and impact resistance. Metal roofing is also excellent for Connecticut weather—it sheds snow and ice effectively and lasts longer, though the upfront cost is higher. We’ll explain the pros and cons of each material based on your specific home and budget during our consultation.

Do you handle permits for roof installation in Exeter?

Yes, we handle all permit applications and inspections required by Exeter and the state of Connecticut. Most roof installations require a building permit, and we make sure everything meets local building codes and manufacturer specifications. We’re familiar with Exeter’s requirements and have good relationships with local building officials, which helps keep your project moving smoothly. The permit cost is included in our estimate so there are no surprises.

How much does roof installation typically cost in Exeter?

Roof installation costs in Exeter typically range from $8,000-$15,000 for most homes, depending on size, materials, and complexity. A simple ranch might be on the lower end, while a large colonial with multiple angles and dormers costs more. We provide detailed written estimates that break down materials and labor costs. The final price depends on your specific roof size, the materials you choose, and any additional work needed like decking replacement or ventilation improvements.

What warranty do you provide on roof installation?

We provide comprehensive warranty coverage that includes manufacturer warranties on materials (typically 20-30 years depending on the product) plus our workmanship warranty on installation. Our workmanship warranty covers installation defects and ensures proper performance of the roofing system. We also warranty any additional work like flashing, ventilation, or gutter installation. All warranty terms are clearly explained in writing before we start work, so you know exactly what’s covered.

Can you install a new roof over my existing shingles?

While it’s sometimes possible to install new shingles over one existing layer, we typically recommend complete removal in Connecticut. Our freeze-thaw cycles and ice dam conditions require proper ventilation and underlayment that you can’t achieve with overlay installation. Removing old materials also lets us inspect and repair any decking damage before it becomes a bigger problem. Complete removal costs more upfront but gives you a roof system that’ll perform properly for decades rather than having problems in a few years.
