Our Roofing Process

How We Handle Your Project

First, we inspect your roof thoroughly – not just the problem area. Connecticut weather affects the whole system, so we check everything: shingles, flashing, gutters, ventilation, and structural integrity.

You get a detailed written estimate that explains what we found and what needs attention. No surprises, no pressure tactics. If it’s an emergency repair, we handle the immediate problem first, then discuss long-term solutions.

During the work, we protect your property and clean up daily. Most residential projects in Glasgo take 1-3 days depending on size and weather. We coordinate material delivery, handle permits if needed, and work with your insurance company when storm damage is involved.

What's Included In Our Service

Every roofing project includes proper ventilation assessment – crucial in Connecticut where ice dams destroy more roofs than wind damage. We install ridge vents, soffit vents, and attic ventilation that actually works.

You get quality materials rated for Connecticut’s climate zone. We use shingles designed for freeze-thaw cycles and install ice and water shield where building codes require it – plus areas where experience tells us it should go.

Emergency repairs include temporary protection until permanent fixes can be completed safely. We carry tarps, emergency patching materials, and work with your insurance adjuster to document damage properly.

How much does roof replacement cost in Connecticut?

Roof replacement in Connecticut typically runs $8,000-$15,000 for an average home, depending on size, materials, and complexity. Factors that affect cost include roof pitch, number of layers to remove, chimney work, and ventilation upgrades. Connecticut building codes require ice and water shield in certain areas, which adds to material costs but prevents expensive damage later. We provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs – materials, labor, permits, and disposal fees. Most homeowners find that investing in quality materials upfront saves money over time because Connecticut weather is hard on cheaper roofing systems.

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

Age is the biggest factor – most asphalt shingle roofs in Connecticut last 20-25 years depending on weather exposure and maintenance. Look for multiple missing or damaged shingles, granules washing into gutters, and daylight visible through roof boards in the attic. Interior signs include water stains on ceilings, peeling paint near the roofline, and higher energy bills from poor insulation. If you’re dealing with frequent leaks or ice dam problems every winter, replacement often makes more sense than repeated repairs. We’ll inspect your roof honestly and explain whether repair or replacement gives you better value for your specific situation.

Can you help with insurance claims for storm damage?

Yes, we work with insurance companies regularly and understand Connecticut storm damage claims. We document damage thoroughly with photos and detailed reports that adjusters need for claim approval. Many homeowners don’t realize that wind damage, hail damage, and ice dam damage are often covered under standard homeowner policies. We can meet with your adjuster, provide repair estimates in the format insurance companies require, and explain what damage qualifies for coverage. The key is reporting damage promptly and having proper documentation. We’ve helped many Glasgo homeowners navigate the claims process and get fair settlements for storm damage repairs.

How do you prevent ice dams on Connecticut roofs?

Ice dams form when heat escapes through your roof, melting snow that refreezes at the gutters. Prevention requires proper attic insulation, ventilation, and air sealing – not just heating cables that treat symptoms. We install adequate soffit and ridge vents to maintain consistent roof temperature, upgrade insulation where needed, and seal air leaks around chimneys, vents, and attic access points. Ice and water shield installation at eaves provides backup protection when ice dams do form. Many Connecticut homes built before 1990 have inadequate ventilation by today’s standards. Fixing the root cause prevents ice dams and reduces energy costs year-round, making it a smart investment beyond just roof protection.

How long does a roofing project take in Connecticut?

Most residential roof replacements in Glasgo take 2-4 days depending on size, weather, and complexity. Simple repairs often take just a few hours. Connecticut weather can delay outdoor work – we don’t install roofing in rain, snow, or high winds because safety and quality suffer. We schedule projects with weather buffers and communicate any delays immediately. Tear-off and installation happen as quickly as possible to minimize your home’s exposure to weather. Complex projects with multiple chimneys, skylights, or structural repairs take longer. Emergency repairs get priority scheduling – we’ll make temporary repairs to stop leaks and schedule permanent fixes as soon as conditions allow.

What roofing materials work best in Connecticut weather?

Architectural asphalt shingles rated for high winds and freeze-thaw cycles perform well in Connecticut’s climate. We recommend shingles with algae resistance since Connecticut’s humidity promotes growth that stains roofs. Metal roofing works excellently for snow shedding and longevity but costs more upfront. Slate and tile last decades but require structural evaluation since they’re heavier than asphalt. The key is proper installation regardless of material – quality underlayment, ice and water shield at vulnerable areas, and adequate ventilation matter more than brand names. We’ll recommend materials based on your budget, home style, and long-term goals. Connecticut building codes specify minimum requirements, but we often exceed them based on local weather patterns.
