Complete New Roof Installation

Everything Included in Your Installation

Your roof installation includes complete removal of old materials, structural inspection and repairs, new underlayment, shingles or chosen roofing material, proper ventilation systems, and all necessary flashing. We handle permits, inspections, and coordinate with your insurance company if this is a storm damage claim.

Connecticut homes need specific attention to ice dam prevention and wind resistance. We install ridge vents, soffit vents, and proper attic ventilation to prevent moisture problems and ice buildup. All penetrations are properly sealed and flashed.

You also get complete cleanup and debris removal. We use tarps to protect landscaping and magnetic tools to collect nails. Your property should look better than when we arrived, just with a new roof.

How long does a roof installation take in Old Mystic?

Most residential roof installations take 2-4 days depending on the size of your home, weather conditions, and complexity of the roof design. Simple ranch homes often get completed in 2 days, while larger colonials or homes with multiple levels and angles may take 3-4 days. We always protect your home with tarps if weather interrupts the work. Connecticut’s unpredictable weather means we sometimes need to pause for safety, but we communicate clearly about any delays and make sure your home stays protected during the process.

What roofing materials work best for Connecticut coastal weather?

Architectural asphalt shingles are the most popular choice because they handle our wind, temperature swings, and occasional salt air well while staying budget-friendly. For homes closer to the water or those wanting maximum durability, metal roofing performs excellently in coastal conditions and can last 40-50 years. We don’t typically recommend basic 3-tab shingles for this area because they don’t hold up as well to our weather extremes. The key is proper installation with quality underlayment and adequate ventilation, regardless of which material you choose.

Do you handle insurance claims for storm damage?

Yes, we work with insurance companies regularly and can help you navigate the claims process. We provide detailed documentation of storm damage, meet with adjusters, and make sure all covered damage is included in the claim. We know what insurance companies look for and how to present the information they need. However, we always recommend you contact your insurance company first to start the claim, then we can work together to make sure you get fair coverage for necessary repairs and replacement.

How much does a new roof installation cost in Old Mystic?

Roof installation costs vary significantly based on your home’s size, roof complexity, material choice, and any structural repairs needed. A typical ranch home might range from $12,000-18,000 for quality architectural shingles, while larger colonials can run $18,000-25,000 or more. Steep roofs, multiple levels, and premium materials increase costs. We provide detailed written estimates that break down materials, labor, permits, and cleanup so you understand exactly what you’re paying for. The cheapest bid often means shortcuts that cost you more later.

What warranty do you provide on roof installation?

We provide warranties on both our workmanship and the materials we install. Our labor warranty covers installation issues for several years, while material warranties vary by manufacturer – typically 25-50 years depending on the shingles you choose. We handle warranty claims directly so you’re not dealing with multiple companies if issues arise. All warranty information is provided in writing when your installation is complete. Proper maintenance like keeping gutters clean and occasional inspections help ensure your warranty stays valid.

Can you install a new roof over existing shingles?

While building codes sometimes allow installing over one layer of existing shingles, we typically recommend complete removal for several reasons. Removing old shingles lets us inspect the roof deck for damage, ensures proper ventilation, and gives you a longer-lasting installation. Multiple layers add weight and can trap moisture, leading to problems later. Connecticut’s weather is hard on roofs, so starting with a clean deck and proper preparation gives you the best long-term value. We’ll assess your specific situation and explain the pros and cons of each approach.
