Roof Replacement and New Roof Installation in Hartford, CT

A lot of Hartford roofing questions start with a quote from another company. A second layer over the old shingles, or a few new shingles on a worn slope. Epic Exteriors does neither. As a GAF Certified Plus roofing contractor in Hartford, we inspect the roof and attic for free, replace the roofs that are finished with a full tear-off, and install new roofs on additions and garages.

Hartford Roof Replacement Done as a Full Tear-Off

Someone may have offered to roof over your old shingles for less. We do not do it. Rotted plywood, popped nails and soft spots hide under the old roof, and a tear-off is the only way to find and replace them. A second layer holds heat against the new shingles, and the GAF warranty does not cover it. Every roof replacement in Hartford, CT comes off to the roof sheathing before the new system goes on.

Roof Repair in Hartford Starts With the Flashing

Most roof leaks start at the flashing, not the shingles. Chimneys, vent pipes, valleys and the walls where the roof meets siding are where water gets in, and an inspection that only looks at shingles misses them. For roof repair in Hartford, CT, start with our free inspection. We check every flashing point and the attic, photograph what we find, and tell you where the water is getting in and what the roof needs.

Residential Roofing in Hartford That Lets the Attic Breathe

A hot, damp attic wears a roof out from underneath. Shingles cook in summer and ice builds at the eaves in winter. Every roof we install gets a continuous ridge vent paired with clear intake vents at the overhang, so heat and moisture can escape. That is part of the complete GAF system on all our residential roofing in Hartford, CT, along with Timberline HDZ shingles, ice and water shield and new flashing at every wall and chimney.

Will Insurance Pay for Storm Damage in Hartford?

When wind or hail causes the damage, most homeowner policies pay for the roof minus your deductible. Age and ordinary wear are not covered. After storm damage roofing in Hartford, CT, we photograph every hit before anything is covered, put the findings in a report your insurer can scope from, and walk the roof with the adjuster so the approved work matches the real damage. If water is coming in, we tarp the roof first as a stopgap.

Siding, Gutters, Windows and Skylights for Hartford Homes

Water that gets past the roof finds the walls and the foundation next. Epic installs the rest of the exterior too, and can price it on the same visit.

Siding

A few cracked panels on one wall, and the profile has been discontinued. New panels never match faded ones. The answer is to re-side that elevation so it reads as one wall from the street. For siding in Hartford, CT, we match the profile when it is still made and say so when it is not. Epic Exteriors is VSI Certified.

Gutters

Gutters that sag or pull away from the house were usually hung with spikes through the face, and spikes work loose. We take the old run down, check the fascia behind it, and hang seamless aluminum gutter on hidden hangers screwed into the framing. For gutter installation in Hartford, CT, soft fascia gets replaced before anything new goes up.

Windows

One cold room all winter shows up on the heating bill before anything else. Single-pane, fogged or leaking windows let room heat straight out through the glass. Low-E double-pane glass with argon fill reflects that heat back into the room. For window replacement in Hartford, CT, we measure every opening and help you read the glass label.

Skylights

A bathroom that fogs the mirror or a kitchen that holds cooking heat wants air as much as light. A VELUX solar-powered venting skylight opens by remote, needs no wiring, and shuts itself when the rain sensor gets wet. As a VELUX Certified installer, we flash every skylight installation in Hartford, CT with the VELUX kit and ice and water membrane around the opening.

Because the problems are under the old roof. Rotted plywood, popped nails and soft spots only show once the shingles are off, and a tear-off is the only way to replace them. A second layer also adds weight to the framing and holds heat against the new shingles. The GAF System Plus and Silver Pledge warranties require the full system on sound roof sheathing, so an overlay does not qualify.

Because that is where most leaks start. Chimneys, skylights, valleys and vent pipes are the places shingles cannot cover, and cracked sealant or lifted flashing there lets water in while the shingles look fine. We check every flashing point from the roof and the attic, photograph anything we flag, and go through the photos with you before we leave.

If a covered storm caused the damage, most policies pay for the roof minus your deductible. Age and wear are not covered. Most carriers give you a window to file, and it varies, so the sooner the damage is documented the stronger the claim. We inspect and document it at no cost, send your insurer the report, and walk the roof with your adjuster.

Every roof we install qualifies for the GAF System Plus Limited Warranty, with the Silver Pledge Limited Warranty available as an upgrade. We register it in your name as a GAF Certified Plus contractor. Our own workmanship warranty covers the installation on top of both. The warranties require the complete GAF system, which is one more reason every replacement is a full tear-off.
