Residential Roofing in Plainfield
Most of our Plainfield work is on homes, and most of those homes are older than the people living in them. The village center has capes and colonials from the 1800s, Moosup and Wauregan have mill-era housing and ranches, and the rural edges have farmhouses with outbuildings. Each type has its own failure patterns, and we have seen them all. Whether you need a repair on a single leak or a full replacement before winter, we treat your home like we are working on our own street.
- Roof replacement for older homes — Plainfield homes built before 1970 often have two layers of shingles and soft decking. We tear off to the wood, replace rotten sheathing and rebuild the system with new underlayment, ice and water shield and architectural shingles from GAF or Owens Corning.
- Leak repair and flashing work — Chimney flashing, pipe boots and step flashing on additions are the most common leak sources we find in Plainfield. We rebuild the flashing detail with new metal rather than smearing roof cement over the problem, and we test the repair before we leave.
- Storm damage and emergency tarping — When a storm takes shingles off your roof, we tarp it the same night and return with matching materials for the permanent repair. We document everything with photos so your insurance claim is straightforward.
- Attic ventilation and ice dam prevention — Ice dams are a ventilation problem, not just a roofing problem. We inspect your attic, add intake vents and a properly sized ridge vent, and install extra ice and water shield at the eave so water stops backing up under the shingles.
