Full-Service Roofing | West Cornwall, CT
Roof repairs, full replacements, storm damage, gutters, metal roofing, flat roofs. West Cornwall Roofing & Maintenance covers it all in West Cornwall. Licensed, insured, manufacturer-certified.
Roof Replacement
Full roof replacement starts with a complete tear-off down to the deck. We inspect every board for rot or soft spots. In West Cornwall, we find decking damage on about 30% of tear-offs. Damaged sections get replaced with CDX plywood before anything else goes on. Then we build up: ice and water shield in valleys and at eaves, synthetic underlayment across the full deck, new drip edge on every edge, starter strip, field shingles, hip and ridge caps, and ridge vent. Dumpster, permits, and cleanup included.

Quick repairs prevent expensive problems. A $400 flashing fix today prevents $4,000 of interior water damage next year. If a repair makes sense, we recommend it. If your roof is too far gone, we'll be straight about that too. Either way, you get an honest answer and a written quote.

Wind speeds above 60 mph cause shingle tab lift and adhesive seal failure per ASTM D7158 testing protocols. Our West Cornwall inspectors check the entire windward exposure. Not just the obvious damage. Poor ventilation causes ice dams which cause water intrusion under the shingle field during freeze-thaw cycles. We document all contributing factors so your insurance claim covers root-cause repairs, not just surface patches.

New construction roofing in West Cornwall starts with getting the design details right before materials arrive. Roof pitch, attic ventilation needs, snow load requirements, and local code amendments all affect material selection and installation methods. We coordinate with your general contractor or architect to ensure the roof system matches the building specifications.

Standing seam metal with Kynar 500 PVDF fluoropolymer finish. The gold standard for color retention and chalk resistance. We install Sheffield Metals and McElroy Metal panels in 24-gauge Galvalume steel. UL 2218 Class 4 impact resistance (qualifies for insurance discounts in most Connecticut markets). UL 790 Class A fire rating. Wind uplift rated to 140+ mph per ASTM E1592 testing. Concealed Z-clips allow thermal expansion without stress on fasteners. That's what makes standing seam leak-proof.

Shingle color matters more than you think. Dark shingles absorb heat. Great for cold Connecticut winters, harder on cooling bills in summer. Lighter colors reflect heat. Algae-resistant granules prevent black streaking. We bring shingle samples to your West Cornwall home so you can see them against your siding and trim.

The number one cause of flat roof failure is ponding water. Standing water that doesn't drain within 48 hours after rain. We solve ponding by installing tapered insulation systems that create positive slope to drains, scuppers, or roof edges. Minimum 1/4" per foot of slope eliminates standing water.

Half-round copper gutters with round downspouts are the premium install for historic and high-end homes in West Cornwall. We solder every joint on-site with 50/50 tin-lead solder. Copper weathers to a green patina in Connecticut's climate over 5-7 years.
