Re-Roofing Services in Stratford, Bridgeport & New Haven
Re-roofing means installing a new layer of shingles over your existing roof, without tearing the old one off first. It's not right for every roof — Connecticut building code allows it in limited cases, generally one existing layer, no significant decking damage underneath — but when it applies, it's faster and less expensive than a full tear-off.
What's Involved
We inspect the existing layer first, since re-roofing only works if what's underneath is sound. If it checks out, we install new underlayment and shingles directly over the old layer, following the same flashing and ventilation standards as a full replacement. Most residential jobs finish in a day or two.
How This Differs
If your roof already has two layers, or the decking is soft or rotted anywhere, code won't allow an overlay and you're looking at Roof Replacement instead — a full tear-off to bare decking. If you're not sure which applies to your roof, that's exactly what a Roof Inspection is for.
Local Conditions
A lot of older homes in New Haven and Bridgeport already carry one layer of shingles from a previous owner's re-roof, which means a second overlay usually isn't on the table under state code — worth knowing before you assume this is the cheaper option.
Every re-roof we do carries our 10-year labor warranty, same as a full replacement.
