Residential Roofing in Chester
Most of our Chester work is residential. The town has a mix of historic colonials and capes near Chester Center, mid-century ranches, and seasonal homes along the Connecticut River. Many of these roofs are on their second or third layer of shingles, and the original flashing has been patched more than once. Homeowners here care about three things: stopping leaks before they damage the interior, keeping the historic look of the house, and getting a roof that will handle the next decade of Connecticut winters. We handle all three, and we clean up like we were never there.
- Full roof replacement with tear-off — We strip every layer down to the deck, replace any soft roof decking, and rebuild with new underlayment, ice and water shield, drip edge, and ridge vents. On Chester's older homes, this is the only way to know what shape the deck is in. Most jobs take one to three days.
- Leak diagnosis and repair — We find the actual entry point, not just the stain on your ceiling. Hose testing and attic inspection trace the water back to the failed flashing, boot, or shingle. Then we fix it and test it before we leave. Chester's wind-driven rain makes this the most common call we get.
- Storm damage tarping and repair — After a nor'easter or a fallen limb, we tarp the exposed area the same day to stop water intrusion. Then we document the damage, make the permanent repair, and give you photos for your insurance claim. We work Chester storm calls around the clock.
- Roof inspection for buyers and sellers — If you are buying or selling a home in Chester, an inspection tells you what the roof needs now and what can wait. We check shingles, flashing, valleys, vents, gutters, and attic ventilation, and give you a written report. It is cheap insurance before a closing.
