Roof Replacement
After tear-off, we always check decking and replace what's needed. Soft spots mean moisture intrusion. The old roof was leaking longer than you realized. We use 7/16" or 15/32" CDX plywood depending on rafter spacing. New decking costs $75-$120 per sheet installed. We only replace what's actually damaged.

Quick repairs prevent expensive problems. A $400 flashing fix today prevents $4,000 of interior water damage next year. If a repair makes sense, we recommend it. If your roof is too far gone, we'll be straight about that too. Either way, you get an honest answer and a written quote.

Wind damage and hail damage look different and require different documentation. Our HAAG-trained inspectors know what adjusters look for: granule displacement patterns, fractures in the shingle mat, seal failures, cracked ridge caps. Proper documentation is why our claims get approved.

Proper ventilation is the most overlooked element in new roof installation. We calculate intake and exhaust per IRC R806 based on attic square footage. Balanced ventilation. Soffit intake matched to ridge exhaust. Keeps your attic cooler in summer and drier in winter. That extends roof life and cuts your energy bill.

Metal roofing reflects solar heat instead of absorbing it. In Connecticut, that means 15-25% lower cooling costs compared to dark asphalt shingles. The higher upfront cost pays for itself over the life of the roof. And the life of a metal roof is twice or three times longer than shingles.

Architectural shingles are what we install on 90% of South Lyme homes. They're thicker, heavier, and more wind-resistant than the old 3-tab flat shingles. They also look dramatically better. Dimensional profiles that mimic wood shake or slate. Standard architectural shingles carry a 30-year warranty. Premium versions go to 50.

TPO single-ply membrane in 60-mil or 80-mil thickness, fully adhered or mechanically attached over minimum R-25 polyiso insulation. Hot-air welded seams tested with a probe at every joint. We install per NRCA and manufacturer specifications with tapered ISO insulation creating minimum 1/4" per foot positive drainage. Ponding water is the number one cause of flat roof failure in South Lyme. Tapered insulation eliminates it. FM 4473 rated systems available for hail-prone areas. Fully warranted by Carlisle, Firestone, or GAF.

Commercial roofing in South Lyme means flat and low-slope systems: TPO, EPDM, PVC, modified bitumen, and built-up roofing. We install and repair all of them. Retail, warehouse, office, restaurant, multi-family. Our commercial crew handles buildings from 2,000 to 100,000 square feet.

We hang gutters with hidden hangers screwed into the rafter tails or fascia board every 24 inches max. No spike-and-ferrule, no exposed hardware. Proper pitch is 1/4" per 10 feet toward each downspout. Too flat and water sits. Too steep and it looks wrong.

Commercial and flat roof inspections include infrared moisture scanning with Flir E8 thermal cameras. Trapped moisture in the insulation layer shows as temperature differentials on the thermal image. No need to cut core samples everywhere. We identify wet zones, then core sample the suspect areas to confirm. This approach gives you a precise repair scope at a fraction of the cost of exploratory tear-offs.

Fallen tree damage requires immediate structural assessment before tarping. If a tree has displaced rafters, cracked a ridge beam, or pushed through ceiling joists, the structure is compromised. We assess from both exterior and attic, coordinate with structural engineers or framing contractors when needed, and tarp only areas that are structurally stable enough to support the tarp hardware. Insurance claims for tree strikes require separate line items for tree removal, structural repair, and roofing repair. We document each scope independently.
Get a Free Quote →Skylight Installation
Skylight installation includes cutting the roof opening, framing a curb with doubled 2x lumber, installing the unit with factory sealant, and weaving the step flashing into the surrounding shingle courses. Interior work includes drywall framing and trim. We handle the full job in South Lyme. Outside and inside.
