Our Roof Repair Process

Straightforward Repairs, No Surprises

First, we inspect your roof thoroughly, not just the obvious problem area. Water travels, and the leak inside rarely shows you where water is actually entering. We trace the source and check for related damage you might not see yet.

Next, we provide a detailed written estimate that breaks down materials, labor, and timeline. No surprise charges or pressure to replace your entire roof if repairs will solve the problem. We explain what we found, what needs fixing, and why.

Then we complete the repair using quality materials rated for Connecticut weather. We clean up completely and walk you through what we did. If insurance is involved, we provide all documentation you need for your claim.

Everything Needed for Long-Lasting Repairs

Your roof repair includes proper flashing, underlayment, and shingle work designed to handle Connecticut’s weather extremes. We don’t just slap patches over problems. Every repair addresses water infiltration at its source.

We handle emergency leak repairs, storm damage restoration, missing shingle replacement, flashing repairs, and gutter damage that affects your roof system. Each repair comes with warranty coverage on both materials and our workmanship.

You also get insurance claim assistance when storm damage is involved. We document everything properly, work with adjusters, and help you understand what’s covered. Most homeowners don’t realize how much their insurance will cover for proper storm damage repairs.

How quickly can you respond to emergency roof leaks?

We respond to emergency roof leaks the same day when possible, usually within a few hours during business hours. For after-hours emergencies, we provide emergency contact information and can often arrange temporary repairs to prevent further water damage until permanent repairs can be completed. We understand that roof leaks don’t wait for convenient timing, and water damage gets exponentially worse the longer it continues. Our emergency response includes temporary weatherproofing to stop active leaks, then we return to complete permanent repairs as soon as weather and materials allow.

Will my homeowner's insurance cover roof repairs?

Insurance coverage depends on what caused the damage and your specific policy terms. Storm damage, wind damage, and sudden incidents like fallen trees are typically covered. Gradual wear, poor maintenance, and age-related deterioration usually aren’t covered. We help you document damage properly for insurance claims and work directly with adjusters when needed. We’ve handled hundreds of insurance claims and know how to present damage in ways that maximize your coverage. We provide detailed photos, written assessments, and all documentation your insurance company requires to process claims efficiently.

How do you determine if I need repair or full replacement?

We assess the overall roof condition, age, extent of damage, and cost-effectiveness of repairs versus replacement. If your roof is under 15 years old with localized damage, repairs usually make sense. For roofs over 20 years with multiple problem areas, replacement might be more cost-effective long-term. We’re honest about this assessment because our reputation depends on giving you advice that serves your best interests. We’ll never pressure you into unnecessary replacement, but we won’t recommend repairs that are throwing good money after bad either. You get our honest professional opinion based on what we’d do on our own homes.

What types of roof materials do you work with?

We repair all common roofing materials found in Connecticut homes: asphalt shingles, architectural shingles, slate, wood shakes, metal roofing, and flat roof systems. Each material requires different techniques, tools, and replacement materials to ensure proper repairs. We stock quality materials from trusted manufacturers and can usually match existing roofing materials for seamless repairs. For older or discontinued materials, we find the closest matches available or recommend compatible alternatives that won’t compromise your roof’s integrity or appearance. Our experience with different materials means we know which repair approaches work best for each type.

How long do roof repairs typically take to complete?

Most roof repairs take one to three days depending on the extent of damage, weather conditions, and material availability. Simple repairs like replacing a few shingles or fixing minor flashing issues often complete in a few hours. More extensive repairs involving structural damage, multiple leak sources, or complex flashing work may take several days. We provide realistic timelines upfront and keep you updated if weather or unexpected conditions affect our schedule. Emergency temporary repairs to stop active leaks usually happen the same day, with permanent repairs scheduled as soon as conditions allow.

Do you provide warranties on your roof repair work?

Yes, we warranty both our workmanship and the materials we install. Our labor warranty covers the quality of our installation work, and manufacturer warranties cover the materials themselves. Warranty terms vary depending on the type of repair and materials used, but we stand behind our work and will return to address any issues related to our repairs. We provide warranty information in writing with every completed job. Our goal is repairs that last for years, not months, so we use quality materials and proven techniques that we’re confident warranting.
