Residential Roofing in Middlebury
Most of our Middlebury work is residential. The town has a mix of 1950s ranches, 1970s split-levels, and newer colonials, and each one has its own roofing quirks. Ranches often have low-slope porch roofs that need flat roofing membrane. Colonials have steep pitches and multiple valleys that collect debris. Homeowners here care about three things: stopping the leak, getting a roof that lasts through Connecticut winters, and not getting ripped off on the price. We handle all three. Our crews are licensed, insured, and we give you a written estimate before we start. If your roof has five good years left, we will tell you that instead of pushing a replacement.
- Asphalt shingle roof replacement — Most Middlebury homes get architectural asphalt shingles from GAF, Owens Corning, or CertainTeed. We tear off the old roof, replace any rotted decking, install ice and water shield at the eaves, and set the new shingles with ridge vents for proper ventilation. Most homes are done in a day.
- Roof leak repair and flashing — Leaks in Middlebury usually come from flashing failure at the chimney, skylights, or valleys, not from the shingles themselves. We trace the leak with a hose test, rebuild the flashing, and seal it with roof cement rated for freeze-thaw. We show you photos of the repair before we close it up.
- Storm damage and insurance claims — After a Middlebury hailstorm or nor'easter, we inspect the roof, document the damage with photos, and meet your insurance adjuster on site. We handle the claim paperwork and do the repair or replacement the adjuster approves. You pay the deductible and we handle the rest.
- Attic ventilation and ice dam prevention — Ice dams are the number one winter problem on Middlebury roofs. We check your attic insulation and ventilation, add ridge vents and intake vents where needed, and route bathroom fans outside. That keeps the roof deck cold so snow does not melt and refreeze at the eaves.
