Call (888) 685-2250Why roof repair in Wallingford, CT starts with the weather
The weather decides which parts of a roof fail first. With snowy winters, ice dams and nor'easters, these are the repairs that come up again and again in Connecticut.
Ice dams at the eaves
Heat escaping through the attic melts snow that refreezes at the cold overhang, and the meltwater backs up under the shingles. The repair fixes the damaged shingles and underlayment; the lasting cure is attic insulation and ventilation.
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.

How do I check a roofer's license in Connecticut?
Home improvement contractors, roofers included, must register with the Department of Consumer Protection. What to check: DCP registration lookup.
Why isn't the leak right above the ceiling stain?
Water runs along rafters and insulation before it drips, so the stain can be several feet from the hole. That is why a proper inspection covers the attic as well as the roof.
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.
Do roofers repair chimney leaks?
Roofers repair the flashing where the chimney meets the roof. If the water is coming through the cap, crown or the brickwork itself, that part is masonry work.
