Residential Roofing in Darien
Most of our Darien work is residential. The town has a mix of historic colonials, mid-century capes and ranches, and newer custom homes. Each type has different roofing needs. Older homes often have complex roof lines and original decking that needs careful handling. Newer homes may have steep pitches and high-end materials. We work on all of them. Whether you need a small repair or a full replacement, we treat your home like it's our own.
- Asphalt shingle roof replacement — Most Darien homes have asphalt shingle roofs, and most replacements use GAF Timberline or Owens Corning Duration shingles. We tear off the old roof, inspect the decking, and install new underlayment, ice and water shield, and shingles. We finish with new ridge vents and drip edge. Most jobs take two to three days.
- Roof leak repair and flashing — Leaks are the most common residential roofing problem in Darien. We trace the leak to its source, which is often failed flashing around a chimney or sidewall. We replace the flashing with copper or stainless steel on coastal homes, reseal the area, and replace any damaged shingles. Most repairs are done in a day.
- Storm damage assessment and repair — After a nor'easter, many Darien homeowners need storm damage repairs. We inspect the roof for wind-lifted shingles, missing ridge caps, and impact damage. We document everything with photos for your insurance claim. If the roof is leaking, we tarp it immediately and schedule permanent repairs.
- Attic ventilation and insulation checks — Poor attic ventilation and insulation cause ice dams and shorten roof life. During inspections and replacements, we check attic ventilation and look for signs of condensation or insulation problems. If we find issues, we tell you. Fixing the attic often prevents the roof problem from returning.
