What's Included in Your Installation

Your roof installation includes complete removal of old materials, structural inspection and repairs, quality underlayment, proper ventilation systems, and professional installation of your chosen roofing materials.

We handle all permit requirements and ensure your installation meets Connecticut building codes. Flashing around chimneys, vents, and roof penetrations gets special attention since these areas cause most leak problems down the road.

Cleanup and debris removal are included, along with final inspection and warranty documentation. You’ll also receive maintenance guidelines specific to your new roofing system and our recommendations for keeping your investment protected. We don’t consider the job done until your property looks better than when we started.

How long does a typical roof installation take in Groton?

Most residential roof installations in Groton take 2-4 days depending on the size of your home, weather conditions, and complexity of the roof design. Simple ranch homes often complete in 2 days, while larger colonials or homes with multiple angles and features may take 3-4 days. We always provide a realistic timeline during your estimate and keep you updated if weather delays occur. Connecticut’s unpredictable weather means we sometimes need to pause work for safety, but we’ll communicate any schedule changes immediately and resume as soon as conditions allow.

What roofing materials work best for Connecticut's coastal climate?

Architectural shingles and metal roofing perform exceptionally well in Groton’s coastal environment. Architectural shingles offer excellent wind resistance and come with strong warranties, while metal roofing provides superior longevity and energy efficiency. We avoid basic 3-tab shingles in coastal areas because they don’t handle wind uplift as well. The key is proper installation with quality underlayment and adequate ventilation. Salt air doesn’t significantly impact modern roofing materials, but proper flashing and sealing details become more critical near the coast to prevent water infiltration during storms.

Do I need permits for roof installation in Groton?

Yes, roof replacement in Groton requires building permits, and we handle the permit application process for you. The town requires permits to ensure installations meet current building codes, especially for wind resistance and energy efficiency standards. The permit process typically takes 1-2 weeks, and we factor this timeline into your project schedule. We’re familiar with Groton’s requirements and maintain good relationships with local building officials, which helps streamline approvals. All work gets inspected during and after installation to ensure code compliance, giving you additional assurance that your roof meets all safety standards.

How much does roof installation cost in Groton, CT?

Roof installation costs in Groton typically range from $12,000 to $25,000 for most homes, depending on size, materials chosen, and complexity of the roof design. Factors affecting price include roof pitch, number of penetrations, accessibility, and whether structural repairs are needed. We provide detailed written estimates that break down material and labor costs so you understand exactly what you’re paying for. While we’re not the cheapest option, we focus on value – using quality materials and proper installation techniques that prevent costly problems later. Financing options are available to help manage the investment.

What warranty comes with my new roof installation?

You receive both manufacturer warranties on materials and our workmanship warranty on installation. Material warranties typically range from 25-50 years depending on the products chosen, while our workmanship warranty covers installation-related issues. We’ll explain all warranty terms during your estimate and provide complete documentation after installation. It’s important to understand what each warranty covers and any maintenance requirements to keep warranties valid. We also provide guidance on proper maintenance to maximize your roof’s lifespan and ensure warranty protection remains in effect throughout the coverage period.

Can you install a new roof over my existing shingles?

While building codes sometimes allow roof-overs, we typically recommend complete removal of old materials for several important reasons. Removing existing shingles lets us inspect the roof decking for damage, ensure proper ventilation, and install new underlayment for maximum protection. Roof-overs add weight and can hide structural problems that need attention. In Groton’s climate, the additional protection from new underlayment and proper flashing details is worth the extra cost. Complete removal also allows your new roof to lay flat and look its best, plus most manufacturer warranties require installation over clean decking.
