What's Included in Your Installation

Complete removal of old roofing materials and proper disposal. We don’t cut corners by installing over existing problems.

Quality underlayment, flashing, and ventilation systems designed for Connecticut weather. These components are critical but often overlooked by contractors trying to save money.

Professional installation of your chosen roofing material, whether asphalt shingles, architectural shingles, or other options. We follow manufacturer specifications exactly to ensure your warranty stays valid.

Thorough cleanup and final inspection. Your property should look better than when we started, not like a construction zone.

How long does a typical roof installation take in Lyme?

Most residential roof installations take 2-4 days, depending on the size of your home and weather conditions. We work efficiently but never rush quality. If we encounter unexpected issues like rotted decking or structural problems, we’ll discuss the situation with you before proceeding. Weather delays are sometimes unavoidable in Connecticut, but we’ll keep you informed throughout the process and protect your home if we need to pause work.

What roofing materials work best for Connecticut coastal weather?

Architectural shingles perform well in our climate because they resist wind uplift and provide good water shedding. They’re also cost-effective and come with solid warranties. For homes near the coast, we often recommend impact-resistant shingles that handle storm debris better. Metal roofing is another excellent option for longevity and weather resistance. We’ll recommend materials based on your specific location, home style, and budget rather than pushing the most expensive option.

Do you handle permits and inspections for roof installation?

Yes, we handle all permit applications and coordinate inspections with local building departments. Lyme has specific requirements for roofing work, and we’re familiar with the process. This includes ensuring proper ventilation, meeting energy code requirements, and following local building standards. You don’t need to worry about the paperwork or scheduling inspections – we manage that entire process as part of our service.

What happens if there's damage to the roof decking underneath?

We inspect the decking as we remove old materials and immediately notify you if we find any issues. Rotted or damaged decking must be replaced before installing new roofing – there’s no safe way around this. We provide a clear estimate for any additional work needed and get your approval before proceeding. While this adds to the project cost, it’s essential for a roof that will last. Most homeowners appreciate knowing about these issues rather than having them hidden under new materials.

How do you protect my landscaping and property during installation?

We use tarps and plywood to protect plants, walkways, and outdoor furniture. Our crew is trained to work carefully around your property, not just focus on the roof. We also use magnetic tools to pick up nails and metal debris from your yard and driveway. Most homeowners are surprised by how clean we leave their property. We understand that your landscaping and outdoor spaces are valuable, and we treat them accordingly throughout the project.

What warranty do you provide on roof installation work?

We provide a comprehensive warranty on our installation work, separate from the manufacturer’s material warranty. This covers any issues related to our workmanship, including leaks caused by improper installation. The manufacturer’s warranty covers the materials themselves. We’ll explain both warranties clearly and provide all documentation. If you ever have an issue, we respond quickly because our reputation in the local community depends on standing behind our work long-term.
