Call (888) 685-2250What roof repair in New London, CT usually involves
Roofs in New London have to cope with snowy winters, ice dams and nor'easters. These are the problems worth looking for from the ground before you call.
Slate and older roofs
Where a house still has slate, it is usually very repairable while the slate itself is sound. Slate that is crumbling or flaking apart is the point where replacement becomes the honest answer.
Freeze–thaw at the joints
Repeated freezing and thawing opens joints in step flashing and around vent pipes. Sealant over a moving joint fails within a season; the flashing needs resetting.
Leaks nobody can find
Water runs along rafters and insulation before it drips, so the ceiling stain is rarely under the hole. Tracing it from the attic is part of the repair, not an extra.

How do I check a roofer's license in Connecticut?

How long can a roof go with missing shingles?
Not long. The underlayment beneath is not designed to be the outer layer, and wind can peel more shingles from the gap. Get it covered quickly and have the nailing on the rest checked.
Is it a roof leak or condensation?
Attic moisture with no hole in the roof is often condensation from poor ventilation. Damp spread evenly over the underside of the deck points to condensation; a single wet track points to a leak.
Can a metal roof be repaired?
Yes. Most metal roof leaks are at the fasteners: rusted holes or screws that have backed out. The fix is a larger screw and a proper seal, not coating the whole roof.
