A properly installed roof means your home stays dry, comfortable, and energy-efficient year after year. You’ll see lower utility bills because your insulation actually works. Your home value increases because buyers know they won’t inherit roofing problems.

Most importantly, you get back your peace of mind. No more emergency buckets when it rains. No more wondering if this storm will be the one that causes real damage. Just a solid roof that does its job so you can focus on everything else that matters.

We Know Connecticut Roofs Inside Out

We’ve been installing roofs in Gilman and throughout Connecticut for years. We understand how nor’easters, ice dams, and summer storms affect different roofing materials and installation methods.

Every roof we install meets Connecticut building codes and is designed to handle the weather patterns specific to our region. We’re not a traveling crew that moves from state to state. We live here, work here, and stand behind every job because our reputation depends on it.

When you call us, you’re working with contractors who know your neighborhood, understand local permit requirements, and will be here if you need service down the road.

Roof Installation Process

Here's Exactly How We Handle Your Project

First, we inspect your current roof and measure everything carefully. You get a detailed estimate that breaks down materials, labor, and timeline so there are no surprises later.

Once you approve the project, we order your materials and schedule the work around your needs. We protect your landscaping and belongings before we start, then remove your old roof systematically to check for any underlying issues.

The new roof goes on with proper underlayment, flashing, and ventilation. We install everything according to manufacturer specifications because that’s what keeps your warranty valid. When we’re finished, we clean up completely and walk through the completed work with you to make sure everything meets your expectations.

Complete Roofing Services Gilman

Everything Included in Your Installation

Your roof installation includes complete removal of old materials, proper disposal, and thorough deck inspection. We replace any damaged decking, install high-quality underlayment, and ensure proper ventilation throughout the system.

All flashing around chimneys, vents, and valleys gets replaced with new materials designed to last. We install drip edge, ridge vents, and gutters if needed. Every penetration is sealed correctly to prevent future leaks.

You also get complete cleanup and debris removal. We use magnetic sweepers to pick up nails and metal debris from your property. Your landscaping is protected throughout the project, and we leave your property cleaner than we found it.

How long does a typical roof installation take in Gilman?

Most residential roof installations take 2-4 days depending on the size of your home and weather conditions. We start early each day to maximize productive hours and minimize disruption to your routine. If we encounter unexpected issues like damaged decking, we’ll discuss the timeline adjustment with you immediately. Weather delays are sometimes unavoidable in Connecticut, but we’ll keep you updated and resume work as soon as conditions are safe. We never rush a job just to meet a deadline because proper installation is more important than speed.

What roofing materials work best for Connecticut weather?

Architectural shingles perform exceptionally well in Connecticut because they handle freeze-thaw cycles and high winds better than basic three-tab shingles. Metal roofing is also excellent for our climate, especially if you’re concerned about ice dams or want maximum longevity. We don’t recommend certain materials like wood shakes in areas prone to ice dam formation. The best choice depends on your home’s style, your budget, and your priorities for longevity versus upfront cost. We’ll explain the pros and cons of each option based on your specific situation and local weather patterns.

Do you handle insurance claims for roof replacement?

Yes, we work with insurance companies regularly and can help document damage for your claim. We’ll meet with your adjuster, provide detailed estimates, and explain any damage that might not be immediately visible. Our estimates include all necessary work to restore your roof properly, not just the minimum required by insurance. If there’s a coverage dispute, we can provide additional documentation to support your claim. We get paid directly by many insurance companies, so you only pay your deductible. This process eliminates the hassle of paying upfront and waiting for reimbursement.

What warranty comes with a new roof installation?

You get two separate warranties: a manufacturer’s warranty on materials and our workmanship warranty on installation. Material warranties typically range from 25-50 years depending on the products you choose. Our workmanship warranty covers installation issues for several years after completion. This means if a leak develops due to improper installation, we fix it at no charge. We also provide warranty documentation and keep detailed records of your installation. Make sure any contractor you consider offers both types of coverage and puts warranty terms in writing before starting work.

How much does roof installation cost in Gilman CT?

Roof installation costs vary significantly based on your home’s size, the materials you choose, and the complexity of your roofline. A basic architectural shingle roof typically costs less than premium materials like metal or slate. Steep roofs, multiple dormers, and complex flashing details increase labor costs. We provide detailed written estimates that break down material and labor costs separately. This transparency helps you understand exactly what you’re paying for and makes it easier to compare contractors. We never give ballpark figures over the phone because accurate pricing requires measuring your roof and assessing the specific challenges.

Can you install a new roof over existing shingles?

While building codes sometimes allow roof-overs, we typically recommend complete removal for several important reasons. Removing old shingles lets us inspect the roof deck for damage, ensure proper ventilation, and install new underlayment. Multiple shingle layers add significant weight and can void manufacturer warranties on new materials. Roof-overs also make it harder to achieve proper flashing details around chimneys and valleys. The small upfront savings usually aren’t worth the potential problems. However, we’ll assess your specific situation and explain whether a roof-over might work for your home and budget.
