Roofing Contractor in Newington, CT
D-Core Construction is a roofing contractor in Newington, CT, and this is our home town. We handle roof repair and roof replacement for Newington homeowners, starting with an inspection of the shingles, flashing, vents and roof connections. Owner Felipe Perri walks the roof, explains what he found and gives you a plan built around the condition of your house.
A good roofing job starts with an honest diagnosis. On a Newington house that usually means checking the shingles across every slope, the step flashing where the roof meets a wall, the seals around plumbing vents and the chimney flashing. Inside, we look at the attic for daylight, damp sheathing and stained rafters. That combination tells us whether a targeted roofing repair will do the job or whether the roof has reached the end of its life.
When replacement makes sense, we strip the old roof down to the deck, replace any soft or rotted sheathing we find, and install new underlayment, flashing and shingles. Ventilation gets the same attention as the shingles. A roof that cannot exhaust warm, moist air from the attic tends to grow ice dams in winter and age faster in summer, so we balance intake at the eaves with exhaust near the ridge.

Roofing in Newington: Permits and Post-War Homes
The Town of Newington requires a roofing and siding permit before work begins, and the application states that a contractor who pulls the permit must hold a current Connecticut Home Improvement registration. D-Core is registered as HIC.0666861, and approved permits in town are subject to field inspection.
Newington's population grew several times over between 1940 and 1970, so a large share of homes in town date from those decades, along with older houses in and around the Newington Junction historic districts. Roofs on houses of that age have often been replaced once or twice already, and we check for multiple layers and tired decking before pricing new work.

Questions About Roofing in Newington, CT
Do I need a permit to replace my roof in Newington?
Yes. Newington's Building Department issues a roofing and siding permit, and work should not start until it is issued. Approved permits are subject to inspection, and a contractor pulling the permit needs a current state Home Improvement registration.
How do you find where a roof leak is coming from?
Water rarely enters right above the stain. We trace it from the attic side, follow the sheathing and rafters uphill, and then check the flashing, vents and shingles in that area from the roof. Once we know the entry point, we can fix the roof leak instead of guessing.
What happens after the first visit?
You get an explanation of the roof's condition and our recommendation, repair or replacement. If you decide to move ahead, we schedule the work and carry it through to cleanup.
