What Your Installation Includes

Your roof installation covers everything from tear-off to final cleanup. We handle permits, material delivery, proper disposal of old roofing materials, and coordination with any other trades if needed.

You get quality materials selected for Connecticut’s climate – not the cheapest options that fail in a few years. We install proper ventilation, ice and water shield where required, and flashing details that actually prevent leaks.

North Lyme’s coastal location means your roof faces salt air, high winds, and temperature swings that can destroy poorly installed roofing. We account for these local conditions in every installation, so your roof performs well for decades, not just the first few years.

How long does a roof installation take in North Lyme?

Most residential roof installations take 2-5 days depending on size, complexity, and weather conditions. Connecticut’s unpredictable weather can cause delays, but we monitor forecasts carefully and communicate any schedule changes immediately. We’ll never rush installation to meet a deadline if weather conditions aren’t safe for quality work. Complex roofs with multiple levels, chimneys, or architectural details may take longer, but we’ll give you a realistic timeline upfront based on your specific project.

What roofing materials work best for Connecticut weather?

Asphalt shingles are the most popular choice in North Lyme because they handle our climate well and offer good value. Architectural shingles perform better than basic three-tab shingles in high winds and temperature swings. Metal roofing is excellent for durability and snow shedding but costs more upfront. We don’t recommend materials that can’t handle ice dams, salt air, or the freeze-thaw cycles common in coastal Connecticut. The best choice depends on your budget, home style, and long-term plans.

Do I need permits for roof installation in North Lyme?

Yes, North Lyme requires permits for roof installations, and we handle the permit process for you. Connecticut building codes are specific about installation requirements, especially for ice dam prevention and wind resistance. We know the local requirements and make sure your installation meets all codes. Skipping permits can create problems when you sell your home or file insurance claims. The permit process typically adds a few days to project timeline but ensures everything is done legally and safely.

How much does roof installation cost in North Lyme?

Roof installation costs vary based on size, materials, complexity, and current roof condition. Most North Lyme homeowners invest between $15,000-$30,000 for quality installation, but every project is different. Factors affecting cost include roof pitch, number of chimneys or skylights, accessibility, and whether structural repairs are needed. We provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs so you know exactly what you’re paying for. Cheapest isn’t always best – poor installation often costs more in repairs and early replacement.

What warranty comes with roof installation?

You get two types of warranty coverage: manufacturer warranty on materials and our workmanship warranty on installation. Material warranties typically range from 25-50 years depending on shingle quality. Our workmanship warranty covers installation issues and ensures proper performance. We’ll explain all warranty terms clearly and provide documentation you’ll need for any future claims. Quality installation is crucial because poor workmanship can void manufacturer warranties. We stand behind our work because we want your roof performing well for decades.

Can you install a new roof over existing shingles?

While building codes sometimes allow it, we typically recommend complete tear-off for roof installations in North Lyme. Installing over existing shingles can hide deck problems, create ventilation issues, and reduce the new roof’s lifespan. Connecticut’s climate is hard on roofing, and layering materials often leads to problems with ice dams and moisture. Tear-off lets us inspect the roof deck, make necessary repairs, and install proper underlayment. Though it costs more upfront, complete tear-off usually provides better long-term value and performance.
