Everything Your Roof Needs, Nothing Extra

Every roof installation includes proper underlayment, ventilation systems, and flashing that actually prevent leaks. We use materials rated for Connecticut weather and install them according to manufacturer specifications, not shortcuts.

You get detailed material warranties plus our workmanship guarantee. We handle permit applications, inspection scheduling, and coordinate with your insurance company if this is a claim-related replacement.

Salem homeowners appreciate that we explain what we’re doing and why. No surprise charges for “unforeseen issues” that any experienced roofer should have caught during the initial inspection. Just honest work at the price we quoted.

How long does roof installation take in Salem, CT?

Most residential roof installations in Salem take 2-4 days, depending on your home’s size, roof complexity, and weather conditions. Single-story homes with straightforward rooflines often finish in 2 days, while larger homes or those with multiple dormers, chimneys, or steep pitches may need 3-4 days. We always give you a realistic timeline upfront and keep you updated if Connecticut weather causes delays. The key is doing the work right rather than rushing through it, because a properly installed roof protects your home for decades.

What roofing materials work best for Connecticut weather?

Architectural shingles perform exceptionally well in Connecticut’s climate because they handle temperature swings, resist wind uplift, and shed snow effectively. We typically recommend shingles rated for high winds and impact resistance, given our occasional severe storms. The underlayment and ventilation systems matter just as much as the shingles themselves – proper installation prevents ice dams and moisture problems that plague many Connecticut homes. We’ll explain your material options and help you choose based on your home’s specific needs, your budget, and how long you plan to stay in the house.

How much does roof installation cost in Salem?

Roof installation costs in Salem typically range from $12,000 to $25,000 for most homes, depending on size, materials, and complexity. Factors affecting price include your roof’s square footage, pitch, number of penetrations like chimneys and vents, and material quality. We provide detailed written estimates that break down material and labor costs, so you understand exactly what you’re paying for. No hidden fees or surprise charges for standard installation requirements. Keep in mind that the cheapest bid often means corner-cutting that costs you more in repairs down the road.

Do you handle insurance claims for roof replacement?

Yes, we work with insurance companies regularly and understand the claims process. We can meet with your adjuster, provide detailed damage assessments, and ensure the scope of work covers everything needed for proper installation. Many homeowners don’t realize that insurance settlements sometimes miss important components like ventilation upgrades or code compliance requirements. We make sure your new roof meets current Connecticut building standards, even if your old roof was installed under different codes. We’ll also help you understand what your insurance covers versus any upgrades you might want to add.

What warranty do you provide on roof installation?

Our roof installations come with comprehensive manufacturer warranties on materials plus our workmanship guarantee on the installation itself. Material warranties typically range from 25 to 50 years depending on the shingles you choose, while our installation warranty covers labor and ensures the roof performs as expected. We stand behind our work because we live in this community and our reputation depends on every job. If you have any issues related to our installation, we’ll make it right. We also provide all warranty documentation and explain exactly what’s covered so there’s no confusion later.

Are you licensed and insured for roofing work in Connecticut?

Absolutely. We maintain all required Connecticut licensing and carry full liability insurance plus workers’ compensation coverage. We can provide proof of insurance before starting any work, which protects both you and us during the project. Many homeowners don’t realize that hiring uninsured contractors can leave them liable for accidents or property damage. We also pull proper permits for roof installations in Salem and ensure all work meets current Connecticut building codes. Working with properly licensed and insured contractors isn’t just smart – it’s essential for protecting your investment and ensuring your homeowner’s insurance remains valid.
