What You Get With Professional Installation

You wake up during Connecticut’s worst storms without checking the ceiling for new stains. Your energy bills drop because your home finally has proper insulation and ventilation. The constant stress about emergency repairs disappears.

That’s what happens when your roof installation is done right the first time. You get decades of protection instead of years of problems. Your home value increases, your insurance premiums may decrease, and you stop being the homeowner constantly calling contractors for patches and temporary fixes.

The difference between a professional roof installation and a quick job becomes obvious during the first major storm. One keeps you dry and comfortable. The other keeps you awake at night wondering if this is the storm that finally causes real damage.

Preston Roofing Company

Local Roofers Who Actually Show Up

We’ve been installing roofs throughout Preston and southeastern Connecticut for years. We understand how Connecticut weather beats up roofs, and we know which materials and installation methods actually hold up here.

We’re not the cheapest option, and we’re not trying to be. You’re paying for contractors who show up when scheduled, complete projects on time, and stand behind our work with real warranties. We handle the permits, work with your insurance company when needed, and clean up completely when finished.

Most of our work comes from referrals because satisfied customers tell their neighbors. That’s how small-town contracting should work.

First, we inspect your current roof and discuss your needs, timeline, and budget. You get a detailed written estimate that breaks down materials, labor, and timeline. No surprises or pressure tactics.

Once you’re ready to move forward, we handle the permits and schedule delivery of materials. We protect your landscaping and property before starting work. The old roof comes off carefully, and we inspect the decking for any repairs needed.

Your new roof goes on using proper installation techniques for Connecticut weather. We install quality underlayment, proper flashing around chimneys and vents, and ensure adequate ventilation.

How long does roof installation take in Preston, CT?

Most residential roof installations in Preston take 2-4 days depending on size, complexity, and weather conditions. Simple ranch homes often finish in 2 days, while larger colonials or homes with multiple dormers and chimneys may take 3-4 days. We start early and work efficiently, but we never rush quality work. Connecticut weather can cause delays, especially during winter months, but we communicate schedule changes immediately and protect your home if work gets interrupted.

What roofing materials work best for Connecticut weather?

Architectural asphalt shingles perform well in Connecticut’s climate and offer the best value for most Preston homeowners. They handle temperature swings, ice dams, and wind better than basic 3-tab shingles. For premium options, metal roofing excels in snow shedding and longevity. We don’t recommend materials that fail in freeze-thaw cycles or can’t handle ice dam formation. The key is proper installation with quality underlayment and adequate ventilation, regardless of shingle choice.

How much does new roof installation cost in Preston?

Roof installation costs in Preston typically range from $12,000-$25,000 for most homes, depending on size, materials, and complexity. Ranch homes with simple rooflines cost less than colonials with dormers and multiple angles. Premium materials like architectural shingles or metal roofing cost more upfront but last longer. We provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs so you understand exactly what you’re paying for. Financing options are available for qualified homeowners.

Do you handle insurance claims for roof replacement?

Yes, we work with insurance companies regularly and can help document storm damage for your claim. We provide detailed estimates that insurance adjusters need and can meet with them during property inspections. However, we always recommend you contact your insurance company first to understand your coverage and deductible. We’ll work within approved claim amounts when possible, but we won’t cut corners on quality to meet unrealistic insurance estimates. Your safety and satisfaction matter more than maximizing insurance payouts.

What warranty comes with roof installation?

Material warranties come directly from manufacturers and typically range from 25-50 years depending on the shingles chosen. Our workmanship warranty covers installation defects for 5 years, including leaks caused by improper installation. This covers flashing problems, ventilation issues, and any installation errors that cause problems. Regular maintenance like cleaning gutters and removing debris isn’t covered, but actual installation defects are. We stand behind our work and respond quickly to any warranty issues.

Can you install roofs during Connecticut winters?

Winter roof installation is possible but challenging in Connecticut. We can work during mild winter days when temperatures stay above freezing and conditions are safe. However, shingles become brittle in cold weather and adhesive strips don’t activate properly below 45 degrees. Emergency repairs happen year-round, but we typically recommend scheduling full installations for spring through fall when weather cooperates. If you need winter installation, we take extra precautions and may recommend temporary protection until ideal conditions return.
