D-Core Construction

Roofing Contractor in Westport, CT

D-Core Construction is a roofing contractor serving Westport, CT, from Saugatuck and Compo to Greens Farms and Old Hill. We provide roof repair and roof replacement backed by an inspection of shingles, flashing, ventilation and roof connections. Our company is based in Newington, licensed and insured, and led by owner Felipe Perri.

Westport grew quickly from the 1950s through the 1970s, and houses from that period sit beside Revolutionary and Victorian era homes in Old Hill and newer construction across town. Each generation brought its own roof shapes and building methods, so we inspect each house on its own terms instead of assuming a standard fix will work. A house from the 1960s may hide an older layer of roofing under its current shingles, while a much older house may have rafters that have shifted over the generations.

A roof that keeps leaking after repairs usually has a problem nobody has found yet. Flashing tucked under siding the wrong way, a missing kick-out at the bottom of a roof-to-wall joint, or ventilation that pushes moist air into the wrong place can all mimic a shingle failure. We trace the water path before deciding whether a repair or a full roofing replacement is the right move.

Roofing and Westport's Historic District Commission

In Westport's local historic districts and on local historic properties, the Historic District Commission reviews exterior work visible from a public way, and the Building Department will not issue a permit for that work without an approved Certificate of Appropriateness. Recent roof approvals on Kings Highway North came with conditions on the shingle, such as architectural asphalt shingles in a weathered wood tone. We check your property's status and plan materials with that review in mind.

Westport faces Long Island Sound on its south side, and the Saugatuck River runs through the town center. Homes near the water see more wind-driven rain, which makes edge detailing and flashing laps worth extra attention.

Questions About Roofing in Westport, CT

Will I need a Certificate of Appropriateness to replace my Westport roof?

If the house is in a local historic district or is a local historic property and the roof is visible from a public way, the Historic District Commission reviews the work, and the permit waits for its approval. We check your property's status early so the schedule reflects any review.

Why does my roof still leak after it was patched?

Patches often treat the spot where water shows up, not where it gets in. A misdirected flashing, a missing kick-out or a cracked vent boot uphill from the stain can keep the leak going. We follow the water back to its source before recommending the fix.

Do you handle roofing on a house that is also being remodeled?

Yes. When roofing ties into an addition or other remodeling, we plan the roof, framing and interior work together so the trades follow each other in the right order.
