Stop Worrying About Your Roof

You know that sinking feeling when you spot water stains on your ceiling. Or when you’re lying awake during a storm, wondering if that loose shingle is going to cause bigger problems.

Here’s what changes after we fix your roof properly. You stop checking the ceiling every time it rains. You don’t cringe when the weather forecast shows storms coming. Your home stays dry, your belongings stay protected, and you get back to living without that constant worry in the back of your mind.

The difference is in how we approach roof repair. We don’t just patch the obvious problem and hope for the best. We find what’s actually causing the issue, fix it completely, and make sure it won’t happen again next season.

Here's Exactly What Happens Next

First, we come out and actually look at your roof problem. Not just the obvious damage you can see from the ground, but a thorough inspection to find what’s really going on up there. We check flashing, underlayment, gutters, and structural elements that might be contributing to the issue.

Then we explain what we found in plain English. No technical jargon or scare tactics. Just a clear explanation of what needs to be fixed and why, along with an upfront price that won’t change unless you ask us to do additional work.

The repair work itself happens efficiently and cleanly. We protect your landscaping and property, complete the repairs using quality materials that match your existing roof, and clean up completely when we’re done. You get photos of the completed work and a warranty that covers both materials and labor.

Complete Roof Repair Services

Everything Your Roof Needs Fixed

Our roof repair services cover everything from emergency leak fixes to complete section replacements. We handle shingle repair and replacement, flashing issues, gutter problems, chimney flashing, and structural repairs caused by storm damage or age.

Old Lyme’s coastal location creates specific challenges that we see regularly. Salt air accelerates metal corrosion, ice dams form in specific patterns based on your roof’s orientation, and the historic nature of many homes in the area requires careful attention to maintaining architectural integrity while upgrading protection.

We work with all major roofing materials and can match existing shingles, tiles, or metal roofing systems. Our repair work integrates seamlessly with your current roof, both functionally and aesthetically. Every repair includes a thorough inspection of surrounding areas to catch potential problems before they become expensive issues.

How quickly can you respond to emergency roof leaks in Old Lyme?

We prioritize emergency leak calls and typically respond within 24 hours, often sooner during business hours. For active leaks causing interior damage, we can usually provide temporary protection the same day to prevent further water damage while scheduling the permanent repair. Our emergency response includes tarping, temporary patches, and immediate assessment of the damage scope. We understand that roof leaks don’t wait for convenient timing, especially during Connecticut’s storm seasons when multiple weather events can hit back-to-back.

What's the difference between patching a leak and actually fixing it?

A patch covers the symptom – the spot where water is getting through right now. A proper repair identifies and fixes the root cause, which might be failed flashing, damaged underlayment, or structural issues that created the leak in the first place. When we repair a roof leak, we trace the water path to find the actual entry point, check surrounding materials for damage, and replace or repair everything that’s compromised. This approach costs more upfront but prevents the same problem from recurring in a different spot six months later.

How do you match existing shingles on older roofs in Old Lyme?

Matching existing roofing materials requires experience with different manufacturers and product lines, especially for older installations. We maintain relationships with suppliers who stock discontinued lines and can often find exact matches or very close alternatives. When exact matches aren’t available, we strategically place new materials to blend naturally with existing ones, sometimes replacing entire sections to maintain visual consistency. For historic homes in Old Lyme, we’re familiar with period-appropriate materials and can source specialty products that maintain the home’s architectural character.

Will my homeowner's insurance cover the roof repair costs?

Insurance coverage depends on what caused the damage and the specifics of your policy. Storm damage, hail damage, and sudden incidents are typically covered, while general wear and maintenance issues usually aren’t. We can help document the damage properly for your insurance claim and provide detailed estimates that insurance adjusters need. We’ve worked with most major insurance companies and understand how to present repair scope and costs in a way that supports your claim. We can also identify damage that you might not have noticed but that should be included in the claim.

How long do roof repairs typically take to complete?

Most roof repairs take one to three days, depending on the extent of damage and weather conditions. Simple leak fixes or shingle replacement might be completed in a few hours, while larger repairs involving structural work or multiple roof areas take longer. We provide realistic timeframes upfront and keep you updated if weather or unexpected conditions affect the schedule. Connecticut weather can impact roofing work, so we build flexibility into our scheduling and communicate clearly about any delays. Emergency temporary repairs are often completed the same day to protect your home while permanent repairs are scheduled.

What warranty do you provide on roof repair work?

We warranty our roof repair work for both materials and labor, with specific terms depending on the type of repair performed. Typical warranties range from one year for minor repairs to several years for major work involving structural components or large section replacements. Our warranty covers the specific area we repaired and includes return visits if issues develop with our work. We also help you understand and maintain any manufacturer warranties on materials we install. The warranty terms are clearly spelled out in your estimate, and we stand behind our work with prompt response if any warranty issues arise.
