Roof installation, replacement, repair, and inspections on Connecticut homes. Decking, ice barrier, flashing, and ventilation handled as one system.
Decking, drip edge, ice barrier, underlayment, flashing, shingles, and ventilation all work together. Most roof failures start at a detail rather than in the open field of shingles. Valleys, chimneys, vents, and eaves are where water actually gets in. Every one gets inspected before a price is written.
Roof replacement starts with a full tear-off in most cases. Old shingles and underlayment come off so the decking can be inspected sheet by sheet. Soft, delaminated, or rotted plywood is replaced before anything new goes down. Layering new over old hides the deck and adds weight the structure was never designed for.
Ice dams are routine in Connecticut, so eave protection is not optional. Ice and water barrier goes down along the eaves, in the valleys, and around every penetration. Drip edge goes at the eaves and rakes first. That membrane is the last line of defense when water backs up behind an ice ridge.
Step flashing goes up sidewalls piece by piece with each shingle course, never as one long strip of caulked metal. Chimneys get counter flashing cut into the mortar joint, not surface caulked. Ridge vent and soffit intake are sized together as one system. Exhaust without intake pulls conditioned air out of the house.
Roof inspections start in the attic, not on the roof. We check for stains, daylight, and damp sheathing from underneath. Then the surface gets walked where it's safe. Both views are needed because water travels along framing before it drops. A ceiling stain rarely sits directly below the actual entry point.
Some roofs need a repair and some need replacing, and the difference comes down to age and pattern. A single lifted section on a twelve-year-old roof is a straightforward repair. Widespread granule loss, curling on multiple slopes, or three leaks in two years points somewhere else. Both numbers are presented side by side.
A correctly built roof stays boring for twenty years. A rushed one shows up as ice dams, attic mold, and a stained bedroom ceiling by February. Seven things separate the two.
We check the attic from underneath before walking the roof surface. Water travels along framing before it drops, so a ceiling stain rarely sits below the actual entry point. Guessing produces a patch that fails at the next heavy rain.
Full tear off with the decking inspected sheet by sheet before any new material goes down.
Ice and water barrier at eaves and valleys, which Connecticut winters absolutely require.
Step flashing installed course by course, never a single strip of caulked metal along the sidewall.
Ridge vent and soffit intake sized together as one system so the attic actually moves air.
Repair and replacement costs presented side by side, so you choose the number.
Decking, underlayment, flashing, and ventilation all named in the final written scope.
Bring the drawings, the photos, or just the problem. A written estimate costs nothing and gives you real numbers to plan the whole project around.

Real feedback from homeowners across Connecticut who trusted A & C General Construction with their projects. Every review is verified through Google.
Roofing service covers installation on new structures, full replacement down to the decking, targeted repair of leaks and damaged sections, seasonal maintenance, and written inspections. Drip edge, ice barrier, underlayment, flashing, and ventilation are part of the scope. The written estimate names every layer included.
Cost depends on square footage, roof pitch, the number of layers being removed, how much decking needs replacing, and the shingle selected. A small repair and a full replacement are very different numbers. A & C does not quote roofing over the phone. The walkthrough and written estimate are free.
Most Connecticut towns require a building permit for a full roof replacement, and many require an inspection of the decking before new material covers it. Small repairs usually do not. Permits are issued by your town, not by the state, so requirements are confirmed during the estimate.
An average residential replacement runs one to three days depending on size, pitch, and decking condition. Repairs are usually a single visit. Work is scheduled around the forecast so the deck is never left open, which matters during a Connecticut rain or snow season.
