Roofing Contractor in Waterbury & Connecticut

A new roof, from the deck up

Elite Framing and Roofing installs architectural shingle roofs on homes across Connecticut. Because framing is our core trade, we look at more than the shingles. If the deck is soft or a rafter has sagged, we can fix the structure before the new roof goes on, instead of covering the problem up.

What a roof replacement includes

• Tear-off: the old shingles come off down to the roof deck, and the site is cleaned up as we go.
• Deck inspection and repair: soft or rotted sheathing is shown to you and replaced.
• Underlayment: synthetic underlayment across the deck, with ice and water protection at the edges and valleys where Connecticut winters need it.
• Drip edge and flashing: at eaves, rakes, walls and chimneys.
• Architectural shingles: dimensional shingles such as GAF Timberline HD, finished with hip and ridge cap.
• Ventilation: ridge and soffit vents so the attic can breathe.

New roofs on additions and new framing

On additions and new construction we frame the roof, sheath it and shingle it, so one company owns the roof from rafter to ridge. See roof framing. When the siding needs work too, we can re-roof and re-side at the same time, so the flashing at the walls is done once and done right.

Signs you may need a new roof

Curling or missing shingles, granules collecting in the gutters, dark streaks, a sagging roof line, or water stains on ceilings are all reasons to have the roof looked at. Asphalt roofs in Connecticut often last around 20 to 25 years; if yours is that old, a look now is cheaper than a leak later.
