Complete Roofing Contractor Services

Full-Service Roofing for Connecticut Homes

We handle everything from emergency leak repairs to complete roof replacements. Storm damage, worn shingles, flashing problems, gutter issues – if it’s on your roof, we fix it right.

Emergency services are available because we know roof leaks don’t wait for convenient timing. We also work with insurance companies to document damage and help with claims when storms hit Old Lyme.

Every project includes proper ventilation, quality underlayment, and materials rated for Connecticut’s weather conditions. We’re not just replacing what was there – we’re upgrading your home’s protection using current best practices and building codes.

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

Most residential roof replacements in Old Lyme take 2-4 days depending on size, complexity, and weather conditions. We start early each day and work efficiently to minimize disruption to your routine. Weather delays can extend the timeline, but we always protect your home with tarps if we need to stop work overnight. We’ll give you a realistic timeline upfront and keep you updated if anything changes during the project.

What roofing materials work best for Connecticut coastal weather?

Architectural shingles rated for high winds perform well in Old Lyme’s coastal environment. We typically recommend shingles with at least 110 mph wind ratings and algae resistance for the humid climate. Metal roofing is another excellent option that handles salt air, snow loads, and temperature changes very well. The key is proper installation with quality underlayment and ice dam protection, regardless of which material you choose.

Do you help with insurance claims for storm damage?

Yes, we work with homeowners and insurance companies regularly after storms hit the Old Lyme area. We can document damage, provide detailed estimates, and explain what needs repair versus replacement. Our experience with insurance processes helps ensure you get fair coverage for necessary work. We’ll meet with adjusters, provide photos and measurements, and answer their technical questions about the damage and repair requirements.

How do I know if my roof needs repair or complete replacement?

Age is the biggest factor – most asphalt shingle roofs need replacement after 20-25 years in Connecticut’s climate. But we also look at missing or curling shingles, granule loss, multiple leak areas, and structural issues. If repairs would cost more than 30% of replacement cost, replacement usually makes more sense. We’ll give you honest recommendations based on your roof’s condition and your budget, not what generates the biggest sale for us.

What's included in your roofing warranty?

Our workmanship warranty covers installation issues for several years after completion. Material warranties come directly from manufacturers and vary by product – typically 25-50 years for shingles. We provide all warranty documentation and help you register products when required. If something goes wrong that’s covered under warranty, we handle it promptly without arguing about coverage. Good contractors stand behind their work, and we’ve been doing business in this area long enough that our reputation depends on it.

Can you work on historic homes in Old Lyme?

Yes, we have experience working on older and historic properties throughout Old Lyme. These homes often require special attention to maintain their character while upgrading protection and efficiency. We understand local historic district requirements and can work with preservation guidelines when needed. Sometimes this means using specific materials or installation methods, but we’ll explain any requirements upfront so there are no surprises during the project.
