Residential Roofing in Cos Cob
Cos Cob homes range from 1800s farmhouses near the harbor to 1990s colonials up toward the Riverside line. Each type has its own roofing issues. Older homes need careful flashing and decking work because the framing has had decades to move. Newer homes often need ventilation corrected, especially if a previous roofer skipped the ridge vent. We handle both, and we treat your house like we are going to drive past it every week, because we are.
- Full roof replacement with tear-off — We tear off every layer down to the decking, replace any soft plywood, and install new underlayment and shingles. For Cos Cob homes near the water, we add ice and water shield at the eaves and in valleys as standard, not as an upgrade.
- Leak tracing and flashing repair — Most Cos Cob leaks start at flashing, not in the field of the roof. We trace the water with moisture meters, open the failed area, and replace the flashing rather than smearing sealant over it. That is why our repairs hold.
- Storm damage tarping and repair — After a nor'easter, we tarp the damaged section the same day to stop water intrusion, then come back for the permanent repair. We photograph everything for your insurance claim and work directly with adjusters when needed.
- Attic ventilation and ice dam prevention — If you had ice dams last winter, the fix is not just new shingles. We check insulation, ridge vents, and soffit intake while we are on the roof. Correcting the attic airflow stops the ice dams from coming back.
