New Roof Installation Norwich

What's Included in Your Installation

Every roof installation includes proper decking inspection and repair if needed. We don’t just slap new shingles over problems – we fix the foundation first.

You get quality underlayment, proper flashing around chimneys and vents, and ridge ventilation that actually works. We use materials rated for Connecticut weather conditions, not whatever’s cheapest that week.

Norwich homes face unique challenges with ice dams and wind exposure. We install ice and water shield in critical areas and ensure proper attic ventilation to prevent the moisture problems that destroy roofs from the inside out. Your installation includes cleanup, permit handling, and manufacturer warranty registration.

How long does roof installation take in Norwich?

Most residential roof installations take 1-3 days depending on your home’s size, complexity, and weather conditions. Simple ranch homes often get done in a day, while larger homes with multiple levels or complex rooflines need more time. We always give you a realistic timeline upfront and keep you updated if weather delays the work. Connecticut weather can be unpredictable, so we build some flexibility into our scheduling to make sure your roof gets installed properly, not just quickly.

What roofing materials work best for Connecticut weather?

Architectural shingles perform best in Connecticut’s climate because they handle temperature swings, ice, and wind better than basic 3-tab shingles. We typically recommend GAF, Owens Corning, or CertainTeed shingles with proper underlayment and ice shield protection. The key isn’t just the shingle brand – it’s the complete system including ventilation, flashing, and installation quality. Cheap materials might save money upfront, but they’ll cost you more in repairs and early replacement when Connecticut weather beats them up.

How much does roof installation cost in Norwich?

Roof installation costs vary based on your home’s size, pitch, material choice, and any structural repairs needed. Most Norwich homeowners invest between $12,000-$25,000 for a complete roof replacement, but we’ve done smaller jobs for less and larger, complex homes for more. We provide detailed written estimates that break down materials, labor, and any additional work needed. No surprises, no pressure tactics – just honest pricing so you can make an informed decision about protecting your home.

Do I need permits for roof installation in Norwich?

Yes, Norwich requires building permits for roof replacement and most major roof repairs. The good news is we handle the permit process for you – it’s included in our service. We know the local building codes, inspection requirements, and submittal process. The permit protects you by ensuring the work meets safety standards and helps with insurance claims if needed. We schedule inspections and make sure everything passes before considering the job complete. It’s one less thing you need to worry about during your roof installation.

What warranty comes with new roof installation?

You get two warranties with professional roof installation – manufacturer warranty on materials (typically 25-50 years depending on shingle choice) and our workmanship warranty on installation. Material warranties cover defects in the shingles themselves, while workmanship warranties cover installation issues like leaks from improper flashing or ventilation problems. We register your manufacturer warranty and provide you with all documentation. If something goes wrong, you know exactly who to call and what’s covered. Good contractors stand behind their work, period.

Can you install a new roof over existing shingles?

Sometimes, but we usually recommend full tear-off for Norwich homes. Installing over existing shingles might seem cheaper initially, but it often creates problems down the road – especially with Connecticut’s ice and snow loads. We can’t inspect the decking for damage, proper ventilation becomes difficult, and the extra weight stresses your roof structure. Most importantly, many manufacturer warranties require tear-off installation. We’ll assess your specific situation and give you honest advice about whether overlay makes sense for your home, but full replacement usually provides better long-term value.
