Niantic Roofing Company

We Know Connecticut Coastal Roofing

We’ve been installing roofs in Niantic and surrounding Connecticut communities for years. We understand what salt air does to roofing materials and how coastal storms test every nail and shingle.

We’re not the cheapest option, and that’s intentional. You’re investing in materials that last, installation techniques that prevent problems, and local contractors who’ll be here when you need us.

Our work speaks for itself throughout Niantic neighborhoods. We use the same crew for every job, so you know exactly who’s working on your roof.

Roof Installation Process

Here's Exactly What Happens

First, we inspect your existing roof and measure everything precisely. No guessing, no surprises later. We explain what we found and give you a detailed estimate that covers materials, labor, and timeline.

Once you approve, we order materials and schedule installation around weather conditions. We protect your landscaping and belongings before removing the old roof. Most residential roofing projects in Niantic take 1-3 days depending on size and complexity.

We install new decking if needed, apply proper underlayment, then install your new roofing system according to manufacturer specifications. Every step gets inspected before we move to the next. We clean up completely and walk through the finished work with you.

What's Included in Every Installation

Your roof installation includes everything needed for long-term performance. We remove and dispose of old materials, inspect and replace damaged decking, install proper underlayment, and apply your new roofing system.

Ventilation gets special attention because Connecticut’s humidity and temperature swings demand proper airflow. We install ridge vents, soffit vents, and exhaust vents sized correctly for your roof area.

Flashing around chimneys, vents, and roof edges gets replaced with new materials designed for coastal environments. We use fasteners rated for high winds because Niantic gets hit with serious storms. Your installation includes cleanup, final inspection, and warranty documentation.

How long does roof installation take in Niantic?

Most residential roof installations in Niantic take 1-3 days depending on your roof size, complexity, and weather conditions. Simple ranch homes often get completed in one day, while larger homes with multiple levels, chimneys, or complex angles need 2-3 days. We don’t rush the work to meet arbitrary deadlines. Coastal weather can create delays, but we monitor forecasts closely and communicate any schedule changes immediately. We’d rather wait for good conditions than risk poor installation that causes problems later.

What roofing materials work best for coastal Connecticut homes?

Architectural shingles perform exceptionally well in Niantic’s coastal environment when properly installed. They resist wind uplift better than basic 3-tab shingles and handle salt air exposure without premature deterioration. We also install metal roofing for homeowners wanting maximum durability and storm resistance. The key isn’t just material choice – it’s proper installation techniques, quality underlayment, and fasteners rated for coastal wind conditions. We select materials based on your home’s exposure, budget, and long-term goals rather than pushing whatever we have in stock.

How much does new roof installation cost?

Roof installation costs in Niantic typically range from $12,000 to $25,000 for most homes, depending on size, materials, and complexity. Factors affecting price include roof area, pitch, number of penetrations, decking condition, and material selection. We provide detailed written estimates that break down material and labor costs so you understand exactly what you’re paying for. We don’t give ballpark numbers over the phone because every roof is different. Schedule a free estimate and we’ll give you accurate pricing based on your specific situation.

Do you handle insurance claims for storm damage?

Yes, we work with insurance companies regularly for storm damage claims in Niantic. We can meet with your adjuster, provide detailed damage assessments, and ensure all necessary repairs get included in the claim scope. Our documentation helps support your claim with photos, measurements, and professional assessments insurance companies respect. We handle the paperwork and communicate directly with adjusters to streamline the process. Many homeowners don’t realize their insurance covers more than just shingle replacement – we make sure you get everything you’re entitled to under your policy.

What warranty comes with roof installation?

Our roof installations include manufacturer warranties on materials (typically 25-50 years depending on product) plus our labor warranty covering installation workmanship. Material warranties cover defects, premature wear, and wind damage up to specified limits. Our labor warranty covers installation issues like leaks caused by improper flashing, inadequate fastening, or other installation problems. We provide all warranty documentation and handle warranty claims directly. Most installation problems show up within the first year, so we inspect our work annually and address any issues immediately.

Can you install a new roof over existing shingles?

We can install over one layer of existing shingles in some situations, but complete removal usually provides better results. Installing over existing shingles saves money upfront but prevents us from inspecting decking condition, limits ventilation options, and reduces the new roof’s lifespan. Connecticut building codes allow one overlay, but we recommend full removal for homes over 20 years old or those with any signs of decking damage. We’ll assess your situation and explain the pros and cons of each approach so you can make an informed decision based on your budget and long-term goals.
