Everything Your Roof Needs

We handle the full range of roofing work. Emergency repairs when storms hit. Complete tear-offs and replacements when your roof has reached the end of its life. Preventative maintenance to catch small problems before they become expensive ones.

We work with all the major roofing materials and can help you choose what makes the most sense for your house and budget. Whether you need basic three-tab shingles or want to upgrade to architectural shingles that’ll last longer, we’ll install them correctly.

We also handle the related work that goes with roofing – gutters, downspouts, ventilation systems, and flashing. Because a roof is more than just shingles, and we make sure all the pieces work together properly.

How quickly can you respond to emergency roof repairs in East Lyme?

We prioritize emergency calls and typically respond within 24 hours, often sooner if it’s a severe leak or storm damage situation. Emergency repairs focus on stopping immediate damage – getting tarps up, sealing leaks, and making your home safe and dry. We carry emergency materials in our trucks so we can handle most urgent repairs on the spot. Once the emergency is handled, we’ll schedule a time to come back and make permanent repairs when weather permits.

What roofing materials work best for Connecticut's climate?

Architectural shingles are the most popular choice in Connecticut because they handle our freeze-thaw cycles well and resist wind uplift better than basic three-tab shingles. We typically recommend shingles rated for high winds since coastal areas like East Lyme can see significant storm activity. For homes with steeper pitches or specific architectural styles, we also install metal roofing and slate. The key is proper installation with adequate ventilation and ice dam protection, which matters more than the specific material in most cases.

How do I know if I need roof repair or complete replacement?

Age is the biggest factor – most asphalt shingle roofs in Connecticut last 20-25 years depending on weather exposure and maintenance. If your roof is approaching that age and you’re seeing multiple leaks, missing or curling shingles, or granules washing into your gutters, replacement usually makes more sense than ongoing repairs. We’ll inspect your roof and give you an honest assessment. Sometimes a roof that looks bad from the ground just needs targeted repairs, while other times a roof that looks okay actually has structural issues underneath.

Do you help with insurance claims for storm damage?

Yes, we work with insurance companies regularly and can help document storm damage properly. We’ll provide detailed estimates and photos that insurance adjusters need, and we can be present during the adjuster’s inspection to make sure nothing gets missed. We know what insurance companies look for and how to present damage claims in a way that gets approved. We don’t handle the paperwork filing for you, but we’ll give you everything you need to submit a complete claim and answer any questions your adjuster has about the repair process.

What's included in your roofing warranties?

You get two warranties – one from the manufacturer on the materials and one from us on the installation work. Material warranties vary by product but typically run 25-50 years for shingles. Our workmanship warranty covers installation issues for several years after completion. This includes things like leaks due to improper flashing, fastener problems, or other installation-related issues. We also provide ongoing support if you have questions or minor issues that come up. All warranty terms are clearly spelled out in your contract before work begins.

How long does a typical roof replacement take in East Lyme?

Most residential roof replacements take 2-4 days depending on the size of your house, weather conditions, and complexity of the roof design. Simple ranch homes might be done in two days, while larger colonials or houses with multiple levels and angles take longer. We always protect your home with tarps if weather threatens during the project. We’ll give you a realistic timeline upfront and keep you updated if anything changes. The key is doing the work right rather than rushing, so we don’t cut corners to meet arbitrary deadlines.
