Every roof installation we do includes the full tear-off, new underlayment and flashing, and a manufacturer-backed warranty. Decking repairs, skylight replacement, and gutter work are quoted separately if we find they're needed. You'll see every line item before we start, so there's no guessing about what's covered.
We remove every layer of old roofing down to the plywood deck, not just the top shingles. That lets us inspect the decking for rot and delamination and fix it before the new roof goes on. Old material gets hauled away in our dumpster, never left on your property.
A self-adhering membrane goes along the eaves, in the valleys, and around every penetration. It's the layer that stops ice dams from backing water under your shingles in February. Connecticut code requires it at the eaves, and we run it higher than the minimum.
Chimneys, vent pipes, skylights, and sidewalls all get new flashing, because old flashing is where most leaks start. Drip edge goes along the rakes and eaves to push water clear of the fascia. We seal every joint with roof cement rated for freeze-thaw cycles.
Proper attic ventilation keeps your roof deck cool in summer and dry in winter. We install ridge vents at the peak and balance them with intake vents at the soffits. That combination prevents attic condensation and adds years to the shingle life.
Roofing nails are the number one complaint after a roof job, so we run a magnetic sweeper across the lawn, driveway, and flower beds twice a day. Tarps protect your shrubs, and we do a final walkthrough with you before we pull out of the driveway.
Roof installation in Connecticut is the full tear-off and rebuild of your roof system, not just shingles. We strip the old layers down to the roof decking, replace any rotten plywood, then build back up with ice and water shield at the eaves, synthetic underlayment, drip edge, flashing, and ridge vents before a single shingle goes down. On a typical 1,800-square-foot ranch, that's roughly 30 squares of material and two to three days of work with a four-person crew.
Connecticut homes take a beating: 100-plus inches of snow in the northwest hills, nor'easters along the shoreline, and freeze-thaw cycles that crack flashing and drive ice dams. If your shingles are curling, you're finding granules in the gutters, or you've patched the same leak twice, a new roof installation in Connecticut is cheaper than the water damage it prevents. We see it constantly in towns like Norwalk and Trumbull, where 1970s splits still wear their original three-tab.
You'll know exactly what happens on your property, who's on site, and when we'll be done. No surprises, no mystery crews, no waiting three weeks for a callback.

Fix
The job is completed to code and done right the first time — no shortcuts, no surprises.
Guarantee
Every job backed by a written workmanship warranty — and we stand behind it.
Tools & EquipmentRoofing Nail Gun
Drives shingle nails at the exact depth and angle the manufacturer specifies. We set the pressure on each gun before the first course, because over-driven nails tear the mat and void the warranty.
Ice and Water Shield
Self-adhering membrane that seals around nails and stops water from backing up under the shingles at the eaves and valleys. It's the single most important layer for Connecticut winters.
Magnetic Sweeper
Rolls the lawn, driveway, and flower beds to pick up stray roofing nails. We run it twice a day during the job and once more after the dumpster leaves.
Fall Protection Harness
OSHA-required personal fall arrest gear worn by every crew member on any roof above six feet. No exceptions, even on a quick repair.
Chalk Line and Tape Measure
Layout tools for snapping straight courses and measuring exposure so every shingle row lines up. Sloppy layout is why some roofs look wavy from the street.
Pry Bar and Roofing Shovel
Used during tear-off to lift shingles and underlayment without damaging the decking underneath. The right technique saves plywood that would otherwise need replacing.
GAF Master Elite Installation Standards
As a GAF Master Elite contractor we install to the manufacturer's top-tier specification, which qualifies you for the enhanced warranty. That covers the full system, not just the shingles, and includes the underlayment, ventilation, and flashing we install.
Owens Corning Preferred Contractor Protocol
Owens Corning Preferred status requires ongoing training and a verified workmanship record. We follow their installation protocol on Duration systems, including their nailing pattern and ventilation requirements, so the warranty stays intact.
Ice Dam Prevention System
We combine ice and water shield at the eaves, balanced ridge and soffit ventilation, and proper attic insulation to stop ice dams before they form. It's a system, not a single product, and it's what separates a roof that lasts from one that leaks every February.
Magnetic Sweep Protocol
Every job ends with a documented magnetic sweep of the lawn, driveway, and walkways. We treat it as a required step, not a courtesy, because a single nail in a tire costs more than the sweep ever will.
01
What we do: We inspect the roof within 48 hours and give you a written report with photos and a fixed replacement price. That gives you real numbers to negotiate with before closing. We can also schedule the installation for the week after you take possession.
→ You close with a known cost instead of a surprise, and the new roof goes on before the first winter.
02
What we do: Our emergency crew tarps the affected area the same day, 24/7, to stop water intrusion. Once the weather clears we inspect the full roof, document the damage, and either repair the section or schedule a full replacement if the storm took out more than it looks like.
→ Your house stays dry through the storm, and you get a clear plan and price within a few days.
03
What we do: Granule loss means the shingles are at the end of their service life. We tear off the old roof, check the decking, and install a new architectural shingle system with upgraded underlayment and ridge vents. Most jobs finish in two to three days.
→ A new roof with a 25 to 50 year warranty, better attic ventilation, and no more granules in the gutters.
04
What we do: We handle the tie-in flashing and re-roof the affected slopes so the new construction and old roof meet watertight. That includes matching shingles as closely as the manufacturer's current line allows, and sealing every transition with new flashing and ice and water shield.
→ The addition looks original to the house, and the tie-in doesn't leak the first time it rains hard.
Connecticut roofs live in a tough climate. The northwest hills see snow loads that push 50 pounds per square foot, the shoreline gets salt-air corrosion on every piece of flashing, and the whole state swings through dozens of freeze-thaw cycles between November and April. That's why we install ice and water shield higher than the code minimum, use corrosion-resistant flashing near the coast, and spec shingles rated for the wind zones in Hartford and Tolland counties. Building stock matters too: 1950s capes in Ansonia and Bloomfield often have skip-sheathing that needs a full redeck, while newer construction in Wilton and Trumbull usually just needs the shingles replaced. We pull the local permit, schedule the inspection, and handle the paperwork so you don't have to. If you're wondering how much roof installation cost in Connecticut will run on your specific house, the inspection gives you a fixed number, not a range.
Norwalk shoreline
Salt spray corrodes chimney flashing and pipe boots faster here than inland. We spec corrosion-resistant flashing and check every penetration on the inspection.
Farmington Valley
Towns like Granby and Canton sit in a snow belt that gets 60-plus inches a year. Ice and water shield coverage runs higher on these roofs.
Mystic and Stonington boroughs
Historic districts may have appearance requirements for shingle color and profile. We check local rules before ordering materials.
Northwest hills
West Cornwall and Pequabuck see the heaviest snow loads in the state. We verify the decking and rafter spacing can carry the load before installation.
Snow loads of 50 pounds per square foot in the northwest hills
Roofs in these towns need proper decking and fastener spacing to carry the weight. We inspect the rafters and sheathing before the tear-off so the new roof isn't overloaded.
Salt-air corrosion along the Long Island Sound shoreline
Standard galvanized flashing pits and fails in five to seven years near the coast. We use corrosion-resistant flashing and fasteners in towns like Mystic, Stonington, and Riverside.
Freeze-thaw cycles from November through April
Water gets into small cracks, freezes, and widens them. That's why we seal every flashing joint with roof cement rated for freeze-thaw and run ice and water shield at the eaves.
Older housing stock with skip-sheathing
Many pre-1960 homes in Ansonia and Bloomfield have spaced plank decking instead of plywood. We add a solid deck layer before installing underlayment so the shingles have a stable surface.
Most roof failures start small and stay invisible until the damage is expensive. Here are the problems we see most often on Connecticut homes and what happens if you wait.
Problem
Water keeps finding the same path into your attic, rotting decking and insulation and staining ceilings. By the time the stain shows, you're often looking at $2,000 or more in interior repairs on top of the roof.
Our Fix
We trace the leak to its actual source, whether that's flashing failure, a valley, or a nail pop, and fix it as part of the installation. New ice and water shield and flashing eliminate the entry point permanently.
Problem
Curling shingles mean the asphalt has dried out and lost its seal. Wind gets under them, tears them off, and exposes the underlayment to UV. Once a roof reaches that stage, repairs are temporary and replacement is the only real fix.
Our Fix
We tear off the failing shingles, inspect the decking beneath, and install a new GAF Timberline or Owens Corning Duration system with a 25 to 50 year manufacturer warranty. You stop chasing repairs every spring.
Problem
Ice dams trap meltwater on the roof and force it under the shingles and into your walls. That's how you get peeling paint, soggy insulation, and mold in the attic, and it happens every single freeze-thaw cycle from December through March.
Our Fix
We install ice and water shield at the eaves, correct the attic ventilation, and make sure the roof deck is properly insulated from below. That combination stops the melt-refreeze cycle that builds the dam in the first place.
Problem
Insurance claims have deadlines, and damage that isn't documented within the window often gets denied. Missing shingles and dented flashing also let water in immediately, so the damage compounds while you wait.
Our Fix
We inspect after every major storm, photograph the damage, and give you a written report you can hand to your adjuster. If it's repairable we repair it; if it's not, we schedule the replacement and handle the permit.
A new roof is the single biggest protective investment you'll make in your house. Here's what you actually get when you hire a licensed crew instead of a storm chaser.
Stop Leaks Before They Spread
A flashing failure at a chimney or a single missing shingle lets water into your attic for months before you notice the stain. We seal every penetration with new flashing and ice and water shield, so the leak never starts. Most customers tell us the first heavy rain after installation is the first quiet one in years.
Cut Heating and Cooling Bills
A properly vented roof with ridge vents and balanced intake moves attic air the way it's supposed to. That drops summer attic temps by 20 to 30 degrees and keeps heat from escaping through the deck in January. Homeowners in Bloomfield and Newington routinely report $30 to $60 a month in savings during peak season.
Manufacturer Warranties That Hold Up
We install GAF Timberline and Owens Corning Duration systems as a certified contractor, which means you get the manufacturer's full warranty, not a pro-rated one. That covers materials for 25 to 50 years depending on the shingle line, plus our own workmanship coverage on the installation itself.
Curb Appeal That Sells Houses
A new roof is one of the few upgrades that pays you back at resale. Buyers and inspectors flag curling shingles immediately, and a roof with 20 years left on the warranty removes an objection before it's raised. We've seen it swing negotiations in Fairfield County more than once.
Typical 2026 pricing for a full roof installation in Connecticut runs $9,500 to $22,000 for most single-family homes, with larger or steeper roofs going higher. The biggest drivers are square footage, roof pitch, material choice, and how much decking needs replacing. We give you a fixed written price after the inspection, so the number doesn't move once work starts. If you've been quoted a suspiciously low price by a storm chaser, it's usually missing the ice and water shield, the permit, or the disposal fee.
Typical Investment Range
$9,500 - $22,000 for most Connecticut homes; $30,000+ for large or metal roofs
A new roof protects everything under it: your ceilings, insulation, framing, and belongings. Spending $15,000 now avoids $30,000 in water damage later, and the manufacturer warranty transfers if you sell the house.
What changes the price
Roof Size and Pitch
Square footage drives material cost directly, and steep pitches slow the crew down and require more fall protection. A 12/12 pitch roof can take 30 to 40 percent longer to install than a 6/12, which shows up in labor.
Material Choice
Architectural asphalt shingles are the most affordable option, typically $4.50 to $7.50 per square foot installed. Standing seam metal roofing panels run two to three times that, but last 40 to 70 years instead of 25 to 30.
Decking Repairs
If we find rotted or delaminated plywood under the old shingles, it has to be replaced before the new roof goes on. Sheet replacement typically runs $75 to $150 per sheet installed, and older Connecticut homes often need several.
Layers of Old Roofing
Tearing off one layer is standard. Two or three layers add disposal weight and labor, which can add $1,000 to $2,500 to the job. We always tear off rather than re-cover, because re-covering traps heat and hides decking problems.
Flashing and Penetrations
Chimneys, skylights, vent pipes, and sidewalls all need new flashing. A simple roof with one chimney is straightforward; a roof with three skylights and two chimneys adds labor and material. Skylight replacement is quoted separately.
Permits and Disposal
Most Connecticut towns require a building permit for a full tear-off, and the dumpster and disposal fees are real costs. We include both in the written price so there's no surprise line item at the end.

RoofPros replaced our roof in Newington after hail damage. They documented everything for the insurance claim, which made the whole process easier. Crew was on time, polite, and cleaned up so well you couldn't tell anyone had been there. Fixed price, no surprises.
Yelp ★★★★★4.8
We got four quotes for our roof in Wilton and RoofPros was the only one that explained the ventilation issue in the attic. They installed ridge vents with the new roof and the upstairs is noticeably cooler in summer. Worth every penny.
BBB ★★★★★4.9
Emergency tarp after a storm took out part of our roof in Trumbull. They came out the same night, secured everything, and came back three days later to do the full replacement. Straightforward pricing and they handled the permit.
Google ★★★★★5.0
Our Mystic cottage needed new flashing because of salt corrosion. RoofPros matched the shingle color perfectly and came out on a Saturday to look at it. Six months later, no leaks. Honest, licensed, and easy to deal with.
Our installers are OSHA safety certified, carry the state HIC license, and train on GAF and Owens Corning systems every year. We've worked on 1700s Colonials in Stonington, 1950s capes in Ansonia, and brand-new construction in Wilton. That range matters, because a roof that works on a shoreline cottage won't survive the snow load in the northwest hills. We're also an NRCA member, which keeps us current on the code changes that affect your permit.
Our crews run roof installation services Connecticut homeowners rely on from the shoreline to the northwest hills. Whether you're in a historic borough or a newer subdivision, the same licensed team shows up with the same materials and the same manufacturer-backed warranty. Here are some of the communities we serve most often.
Ansonia's older housing stock often has skip-sheathing under the shingles, so we inspect the decking carefully and add a solid layer before installing the new roof.
Bloomfield's 1950s capes and ranches frequently need decking repairs along with the tear-off. We handle both in the same visit and pull the local permit.
Canton sits in a snow belt that gets 60-plus inches a year. We run ice and water shield higher at the eaves and verify the roof can carry the snow load.
Danielson's mix of older mill housing and newer construction means we see everything from full redecks to simple shingle replacements. Fixed pricing either way.
Ellington's rural properties often have long roof runs and multiple gables. Our crews stage materials carefully and finish most jobs in two to three days.
Granby gets heavy snow, and we install ice and water shield and balanced ventilation to prevent ice dams before they start. We know the local permit process.
Higganum's wooded lots mean tree debris and moss growth on north-facing slopes. We install algae-resistant shingles and clear the roof of debris during the job.
Marlborough homes tend to have steep pitches and complex rooflines. Our OSHA-certified crews handle the fall protection and finish the installation on schedule.
Salt air corrodes flashing fast in Mystic. We use corrosion-resistant materials and check every penetration, especially around chimneys and skylights.
Newington's post-war neighborhoods have roofs reaching end of life. We handle the tear-off, decking inspection, and full installation with manufacturer warranties.
Norwalk's shoreline homes face wind-driven rain and salt spray. We spec wind-rated shingles and corrosion-resistant flashing for every coastal installation.
Pequabuck sits in the northwest hills where snow loads are heaviest. We verify rafter spacing and decking before installing the new roof system.
Riverside's coastal location means salt-air exposure on every roof. We install corrosion-resistant flashing and check attic ventilation on every job.
South Britain's rural homes often have steep roofs and multiple layers of old shingles. We tear off completely and rebuild with new underlayment and flashing.
Stonington's historic district may have appearance rules for shingle color and profile. We check local requirements before ordering materials.
Real answers to the questions we hear most often from local homeowners and property managers.
When your existing roof is past its service life, replacement is the full tear-off and rebuild we do every day. We strip to the deck, replace rotten plywood, and install a complete new system with ice and water shield, underlayment, and ridge vents. Most Connecticut homes get 25 to 50 years out of a quality replacement.
View Roof ReplacementNot every problem needs a new roof. If you've got a handful of missing shingles, a cracked pipe boot, or a small flashing leak, our repair crews fix it for a fraction of replacement cost. We diagnose first, quote the repair, and only recommend replacement when the damage actually warrants it.
