Residential Roofing in Orange, Connecticut
Orange is mostly a town of single-family homes, and the housing stock tells the story of when each neighborhood was built. The older streets near the center have 1950s and 1960s ranches and capes with original roof decks, while the western side has larger colonials from the 1980s and 1990s. Both types need roofing work, but they need different things. Ranches tend to have smaller, simpler roofs where repairs go quickly. Colonials have more valleys, dormers and penetrations, which means more flashing and more places for leaks to start. We work on both every week, and we know what to check first on each.
- Full roof replacement — Most Orange homeowners replace their roof once every 20 to 25 years. We tear off to the deck, replace any rotted roof decking, and install new underlayment, ice and water shield and architectural shingles. On a typical Orange ranch this takes two to three days, and we haul the old shingles away the same week.
- Leak repair and flashing work — Leaks in Orange usually trace back to flashing failure at a chimney, valley or vent, or to ice dam damage at the eave. We find the actual entry point with hose testing and attic inspection, then repair the flashing or shingle that failed. Most leak repairs are done in a single visit.
- Roof inspection before you buy — If you are buying a home in Orange, a roof inspection tells you what you are getting into. We walk the roof, check the attic for condensation and daylight, and photograph everything. You get a written report with photos and a straight recommendation on whether the roof needs work now or later.
- Storm damage and emergency tarping — After a nor'easter or a summer hail storm, we tarp active leaks and secure loose material, then return for the permanent repair. We document the damage for your insurance claim and work with your adjuster. Emergency calls in Orange get a crew moving the same day, including weekends.
