What Goes Into an Epic Exteriors Roof

The shingle is the part you see from the street. The roof that keeps water out of the house is the six layers below, and we install all of them on every home.

GAF Timberline HDZ Shingles

The most installed architectural shingle in North America. The LayerLock strip locks each course to the one below it, which is what earns the wind rating, and the StrikeZone nailing area makes every nail land where it should.

Ice and Water Shield

A self-sealing membrane along the eaves, in every valley and around every pipe and chimney. When a Connecticut ice dam pushes water uphill under the shingles, this is the layer that stops it.

Synthetic Underlayment

Over the entire roof sheathing, under the shingles. It sheds water that gets past a shingle and keeps the plywood dry between the day the old roof comes off and the day the new one is finished.

Ridge Vent and Intake

Hot, wet attic air shortens a roof from below. A continuous ridge vent paired with clear soffit intake keeps the attic within a few degrees of outside and keeps the shingles from cooking.

Starter Strip and Ridge Cap

Purpose-made starter shingles seal the first course at the eaves and rakes, and a matching ridge cap finishes the peak. Cut-up field shingles in those spots are where a roof fails first.

FORTIFIED Roof Option

For homeowners who want the higher standard, we can build the roof to the FORTIFIED Roof designation, with sealed roof sheathing, ring-shank nails and enhanced edge details. Ask about it on the inspection.

What a Free Roof Inspection Tells You

Most homeowners call because of one thing they noticed. The inspection is how we find out whether that one thing is the whole story.

The Shingles Themselves

Curling, cracking, bald spots and lifted tabs, checked on every slope and not just the one facing the road. Everything gets photographed so you can see it for yourself.

Where Water Is Getting In

A ceiling stain rarely sits under the leak. We trace it from the attic side, check the flashing at every wall and chimney, and tell you whether the roof has a problem or a spot.

Whether to Replace

If the roof is sound, you hear that and we leave. If it is near the end, you get an estimate for a new roof. Our roof repair page explains how we make that call.

Why We Lead With GAF Timberline HDZ

We install other shingle lines when a homeowner asks for them. Timberline HDZ is the one we recommend, because it is the shingle we have put on more Connecticut homes than any other and the one that comes back with the fewest calls.

What Timberline HDZ Gives You

Wind resistance. With the LayerLock strip and the matching GAF starter and ridge products, HDZ carries a wind warranty with no maximum wind speed limit. New England nor’easters are the reason that matters here.

Algae protection. The StainGuard Plus treatment resists the black streaks that show up on north-facing slopes in Connecticut within a few summers.

Color and profile. A dimensional, wood-shake look in a range of blends. You choose from full-size samples on the estimate visit, not from a brochure. See every Timberline HDZ color in GAF’s visualizer first.

Warranty. Installed as a complete GAF system by a GAF Certified Plus contractor, your roof qualifies for the System Plus Limited Warranty, with the Silver Pledge Limited Warranty available as an upgrade. Our own workmanship warranty sits on top of both. The terms are spelled out on our GAF warranty page.

1. Free Inspection

We walk the roof, check the attic and flashing, and tell you plainly whether you need a new roof or not.

2. Estimate

Every layer of the system listed, the shingle color chosen from real samples, and one price with sheathing replacement priced per sheet in advance.

3. Tear-Off and Install

The old roof comes off, the roof sheathing gets checked and any bad plywood replaced, then membrane, underlayment, shingles and ventilation go on. One day on most homes.

4. Warranty Registered

We register the GAF warranty in your name, sweep the property for nails, and walk the finished roof with you.

A New Roof, Installed the Way the Warranty Expects

Epic Exteriors installs new roofs and replaces old ones across central Connecticut. We do not patch roofs and we do not layer new shingles over old. Book the free inspection and find out what your roof actually needs.

New Roofs on Additions, Garages and Dormers

Not every new roof is a replacement. A good share of our residential work is roofing new construction, and the hard part is where the new roof meets the old one.

  • Additions and Dormers – Shingle courses woven in, new step flashing, color and profile matched
  • Detached Garages, Barns and Sheds – Same system as the house, ice and water shield and ridge vent included
  • New Builds – Roofing from the underlayment up, coordinated with the framer and HVAC contractor

Residential Roofing FAQ

A properly installed architectural shingle roof typically lasts 25 to 30 years here. Ventilation is the variable most people miss. A hot, unvented attic can take five years off that number, which is why the ridge vent is part of every system we install.

Shingle condition on every slope, flashing at walls, chimneys and pipes, the state of the gutters and drip edge, and the attic side for moisture, daylight and ventilation. You get photos and a plain-language summary, whether or not you need a new roof.

GAF’s architectural asphalt shingle, and the one we install most. It has a dimensional wood-shake look, the LayerLock strip that gives it its wind rating, and StainGuard Plus algae protection. It comes in a wide range of color blends.

Yes. A new roof on an addition or dormer gets the same complete GAF system as a full replacement, and we match the shingle color and profile to the existing roof. Where the two roofs meet we weave the courses together and flash it as one roof, not two.

Roof size and pitch, how many layers come off, the condition of the roof sheathing, the number of valleys, chimneys and vents, and the shingle line. For a quick range before anyone visits, try the instant roof estimate from your address.

If wind or hail damaged the roof, often yes, minus your deductible. Age alone is not covered. The claim process is on our storm damage page.

No, and you would not want to. The underlayment, ice and water shield and flashing are what keep the house dry, and they are at the end of their life at the same time as the shingles. We install the full system on every roof.

A construction standard from the Insurance Institute for Business and Home Safety that adds sealed roof sheathing, ring-shank nails and stronger edge details to a normal roof. We offer it as an option. Some insurers give a discount for it.

One day for most single-family homes. Larger or steeper roofs take two. The roof is never left open overnight.
