Roof Replacement
After tear-off, we always check decking and replace what's needed. Soft spots mean moisture intrusion. The old roof was leaking longer than you realized. We use 7/16" or 15/32" CDX plywood depending on rafter spacing. New decking costs $75-$120 per sheet installed. We only replace what's actually damaged.

Improper step flashing is the leading cause of roof leaks at wall-to-roof transitions. Step flashing needs to be woven between shingle courses with each piece extending 4" above the shingle exposure. We see West Simsbury homes where the last roofer used continuous L-flashing or just caulked the gap. That always fails. We tear it out and install proper step flashing with a kick-out diverter at the bottom per IRC R905.2.8.3.

Wind speeds above 60 mph cause shingle tab lift and adhesive seal failure per ASTM D7158 testing protocols. Our West Simsbury 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.

Corrugated metal and R-panel (exposed fastener) at $5-$8/sq ft installed for agricultural buildings, shops, carports, and covered patios in West Simsbury. 29-gauge is budget, 26-gauge is standard. For residential, we recommend 24-gauge standing seam at $12-$22/sq ft. The aesthetics and longevity justify the premium. DaVinci composite shake and slate profiles offer the look of natural materials with metal's performance. Perfect for West Simsbury HOA neighborhoods that restrict metal roofing appearance.

Asphalt shingles cover more homes in America than every other roofing material combined. There's a reason. They're affordable, they look good, they last 25-50 years depending on the grade, and they come in dozens of colors and profiles. Our West Simsbury crews have installed thousands of shingle roofs and we know the product better than most roofers in the state.

Modified bitumen is the best choice for residential flat roofs and low-traffic commercial applications in West Simsbury. We torch-apply SBS-modified base and cap sheets in a two-ply system. Granulated cap sheet handles foot traffic and UV exposure. 15-20 year warranty.

Need a commercial roof coating? Silicone coatings over existing TPO, EPDM, or metal extend life 10-15 years for a third of replacement cost. Not every roof qualifies. The existing membrane needs to be in decent shape. We core sample and moisture scan to verify before we recommend it.

Clogged gutters cause fascia rot, soffit damage, and foundation erosion from concentrated water runoff. That's not a marketing scare tactic. We see the damage on every other gutter replacement in West Simsbury. Properly sized gutters with adequate downspout capacity move water away from the house. We calculate capacity using rainfall intensity data for West Simsbury: roof area x pitch factor x rainfall rate in inches per hour. Standard 5" K-style handles 5,520 square feet of effective roof area.

Our inspection covers the roof and the attic. From the attic, we check for daylight through the roof deck, moisture stains on rafters, mold on sheathing, and ventilation function. Problems in the attic often indicate roof issues that aren't visible from the surface.

Emergency protocol for active water intrusion: (1) interior containment. Buckets, plastic sheeting, water extraction if accessible, (2) exterior tarping with 20x30 heavy-duty poly sheeting over damaged area extending minimum 4 feet past damage on all sides, (3) secure with 2x4 nailer boards lag-screwed to the roof deck (not through shingles), (4) secondary tarp overlap for multi-section damage, (5) document with timestamped photos for insurance. Permanent repair scheduled within 48-72 hours once materials are sourced.
