Roofing Contractors in Connecticut

Roofing Specialists in Connecticut

Hiring a roofing contractor in Connecticut can be a tough process. But you don’t have to beat yourself up to get the most out of your hard earned cash when hiring a roofing specialist. By using these basic tips and doing a little research beforehand, you can find the best roofing specialist in your area and get the best deal possible.


Knowing your Job


Certain roofing systems require more work than others. For instance a very steep and tall roofing system will require bigger ladders, more safety equipment and more labor just to get the materials to the location. This increases the overall price of the project as each specialized task is added to the project. Hiring a roofing contractor that specializes in working with steep pitched roofs will keep roofing costs down because they specialize in that specific niche. Hire the right roofing contractor for the job and you’ll be sure to get the best deal as well as the best work.


Licenses


The first and most important part of screening roofing specialists is to ensure that they are qualified to do the work. A Connecticut state roofing license or other local licensing may be required in your area. Once you get the number of your potential roofing contractor’s license, you can do a background check against it to see if any complaints have been made against the contractor.


References


Knowing your potential roofing contractor is important. That’s where getting at least three contactable references comes in handy. Whether it’s by phone call, email or carrier pigeon, getting in contact with your potential roofing contractors past clients is the best way to get to know your potential roofing contractor. A follow up visit to the site is also an important part to ensuring that this roofer is the right person for your specialized roofing project in Connecticut.


Warrantees


Some roofing specialists offer warrantees on their products. In some cases, roofing contractors even offer warrantees on their materials and labor costs. No matter what warrantee or guarantee that your Connecticut roofing specialist offers, always make sure you get it in writing before you sign any agreements or contracts.

Following strong thunderstorms, or even large amounts of snow, and now hurricanes, we get many many requests for emergency roof repairs across Connecticut.  In many situations the home owner chooses to get their insurance company involved.  In that case we usually, depending on the extent of the damage, suggest not repairing the roof, but tarping it so that it may be viewed by the adjuster.  What ever you choose to do, be sure that Marcus Anthony Construction will be here to serve your emergency roof repair needs throughout Connecticut.

Roof Installation in Marlborough Connecticut

  Marcus Anthony Construction  is a Connecticut Roofing Contractor.  We serve many of the areas around Glastonbury, including Marlborough, the location of one of our more recent roofs.
  We removed two layers of asphalt shingles from this ranch style home.  There were several pieces of plywood along the gutter edge of the roof that were replaced due to roof rot.  Over the years, persistent ice dams had cause roof leaks along the eaves.
  Once we had repaired the roof deck we installed 2 courses of ice and water barrier in both the roof valleys and the gutter eave.   With proper ventilation from our new ridge vent this house should experience less ice dams, and no leaks!
With 3 roofers we were able to replace this roof in 7 hours.

Roofing Contractor South Windsor Connecticut


Many homes in South Windsor were built in the last 20 to 30 years.  The roofs on these homes were installed before the time of ice and water shield, and before any thought was given to the use of ventilation.  Often times when we roof these homes we find serious issues with the roof deck and often times replace many sheets of plywood.
This ranch style home in South Windsor is a good example.  During the winter the roof leaked with large amounts of snow.  When replacing the roof we added 2 courses of ice and water barrier, and then a vent at the fascia and on the ridge to promote air flow.  This roof should last 30 years, and be repair free with proper maintenance.  We completed this job in one day with 2 roofers.
We are a Connecticut Roofing Contractor, fully insured, properly licensed, free estimates always, 860 942 3555
