Roofing Contractor in Wethersfield, CT

Wethersfield has houses from the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries in its historic core and newer homes across the rest of town. On the older houses we often find roofs that have been redone several times, with chimney flashing and valley metal from different decades. Sorting out what is sound and what is not comes before any recommendation, so the plan reflects the whole roof rather than its newest layer.

Ice dams are a familiar problem along the eaves of Wethersfield homes, as they are across the state. Heat escaping from the living space melts snow on the upper roof, the water refreezes at the cold overhang, and the ice pushes water back under the shingles. Repairs that only replace stained drywall miss the cause, so we look at the eave protection and the attic ventilation together.
