Our experienced roofing contractor team in Connecticut helps homeowners and businesses protect their properties with durable roofing systems and expert craftsmanship.
A damaged roof doesn’t always require a full replacement. In many cases, targeted repairs can restore the integrity of your roofing system and extend its lifespan significantly at a fraction of the cost of a complete replacement. Shigla’s Construction specializes in accurate, durable roof repairs for Connecticut homeowners dealing with a wide range of roofing problems.
Our roof repair services address the most common causes of roofing failure in Connecticut. We repair missing, cracked, curled, and lifted shingles. We seal and replace damaged flashing around chimneys, skylights, vents, and roof penetrations, one of the leading causes of interior leaks. We fix damaged or deteriorated underlayment, repair ice dam damage, address ventilation problems that cause moisture buildup in attic spaces, and restore compromised ridge caps and valley systems.
Every roof repair begins with a thorough free inspection. We don’t just patch visible symptoms, we diagnose the root cause of the problem and repair it correctly the first time. Our written estimates explain exactly what needs to be done, what materials will be used, and what the total cost will be before a single nail is driven. No guessing, no hidden charges.
When your roof has reached the end of its useful life or when damage is too widespread to justify repairs, a full roof replacement is the most cost effective long term solution. Shigla’s Construction provides complete roof replacement services for residential and commercial properties throughout Connecticut, from the tear off of the existing system to the installation of a brand new, code compliant roofing assembly.
Our roof replacement process starts with a comprehensive inspection to assess the condition of your existing roofing system, decking, and structural components. We identify and replace any damaged or rotted decking before installation begins, a step many contractors skip, but one that is critical to the performance and longevity of your new roof. We then install the correct underlayment for Connecticut’s climate, including ice and water shield along eaves and in vulnerable areas where ice dams form. Proper flashing is installed at all penetrations, valleys, walls, and transitions. We then install your chosen roofing material, asphalt architectural shingles, dimensional shingles, or other systems, following manufacturer specifications to qualify for full warranty coverage.
When the installation is complete, we conduct a full site cleanup including a magnetic sweep for nails and walk through the finished roof with you to confirm the quality of the work. Your satisfaction is our standard, not an afterthought.
New construction roofing requires precise planning, coordination with other trades, and a deep understanding of building science. Shigla’s Construction works with homeowners, builders, and general contractors to provide new roof installations that are designed and built correctly from the very first layer. We ensure your new roof is engineered for Connecticut’s climate, installed to code, and built to perform for decades without premature failure.
Our new installation services cover every component of a complete roofing system: structural decking preparation, ice and water protection layers, breathable synthetic underlayment, drip edge and starter course installation, field shingle installation with correct fastening patterns and exposure, proper hip and ridge installation, and all flashing work at penetrations and transitions. We also address attic ventilation as part of every new install because a roof that lacks proper airflow will fail prematurely regardless of the quality of the shingles installed on top.
Storm damage, severe wind events, fallen trees, and sudden leaks don’t wait for business hours. That’s why Shigla’s Construction is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for emergency roofing situations across Connecticut. When you call us after a storm or discover an active leak, we respond fast because every hour of water infiltration is another hour of damage to your ceilings, insulation, walls, and structural components.
Our emergency roofing response includes rapid damage assessment, temporary weatherproofing and tarping to stop active water intrusion, and a detailed damage report with repair or replacement options and costs. For insurance claims resulting from storm damage, we work directly with your insurance adjuster to ensure the full scope of damage is properly documented and your claim reflects everything needed to restore your roof to pre loss condition.
Many roofing problems are invisible from the ground and go undetected until they cause significant interior damage. A professional roof inspection by Shigla’s Construction gives you an accurate, honest assessment of your roof’s current condition whether you’re experiencing a specific problem, preparing to buy or sell a home, filing an insurance claim, or simply maintaining your property proactively.
Our inspections cover every component of your roofing system: shingle condition and granule loss, flashing integrity at all penetrations and transitions, condition of valleys and ridge systems, fascia and soffit condition, gutter attachment, attic ventilation adequacy, and any signs of moisture damage or structural compromise. You receive a clear, written report with photographs documenting our findings and honest recommendations based on what we actually find, not on what generates the highest invoice.
All inspections are provided at no cost and with no obligation to proceed with any repair or replacement work. We believe homeowners deserve accurate information first and the freedom to make their own informed decisions.
Flat and low slope roofs are found on many residential additions, garages, commercial buildings, and modern architectural designs throughout Connecticut. These roofing systems require different materials, installation techniques, and maintenance approaches than steep slope residential roofing and they demand contractors with specific experience to install correctly.
Shigla’s Construction installs and repairs flat roofing systems including modified bitumen, TPO membranes, and EPDM rubber roofing. We design each flat roof system with proper slope and drainage to prevent ponding water, the primary cause of premature flat roof failure. We address all penetrations, perimeter edges, and transitions with the correct flashing and sealant systems to create a watertight assembly that performs reliably through Connecticut’s full range of weather conditions.
Connecticut homeowners deal with storm damage to their roofs every year, from nor’easters and ice storms in winter to severe thunderstorms and tropical systems in summer. When storm damage occurs, navigating the insurance claims process can feel overwhelming on top of the stress of dealing with a compromised roof. Shigla’s Construction is experienced in working with homeowners throughout this process.
We inspect storm damaged roofs at no charge and provide detailed damage documentation written reports, photographs, and material specifications that insurance adjusters need to properly evaluate your claim. We communicate directly with your insurance company, advocate for a fair and complete assessment of the damage, and ensure the approved scope of work reflects everything needed to restore your roof correctly. Our goal is to make the claims process as straightforward as possible while ensuring your home receives a quality restoration.
Shigla’s Construction is a licensed and insured contractor. We never ask homeowners to waive their deductible or engage in any practice that violates their insurance policy. We work transparently within the system to get your roof restored properly.
Choosing the right roofing material for your Connecticut home is one of the most important decisions in any roofing project. The material affects your roof’s durability, energy performance, maintenance requirements, aesthetic appeal, and total cost over its lifetime. At Shigla’s Construction, we work with homeowners to select the roofing system that best fits their property, budget, and long-term goals and we install every material to the manufacturer’s specifications to ensure full warranty coverage and optimal performance.
Below are the primary roofing materials we install for Connecticut homeowners. Each has distinct advantages depending on your home’s architecture, your budget, and how long you plan to own the property.
The most common roofing option in Connecticut, offering durability, affordability, and a wide range of styles. Ideal for homeowners looking for a balance of cost and performance.
A premium asphalt option with enhanced thickness, better wind resistance, and a more attractive appearance. A popular choice for long-lasting performance and added home value.
A long-lasting and low-maintenance solution that can last 40–70 years. Resistant to harsh weather and ideal for homeowners seeking durability and energy efficiency.
Regardless of the material you choose, Shigla’s Construction brings the same level of care and expertise to every installation. We never take shortcuts on the components that make a roofing system perform underlayment selection, ice protection, flashing detail, ventilation, and fastening patterns are never compromised regardless of which roofing product goes on top.
Have questions about your roof before you call? Here are honest, detailed answers to what Connecticut homeowners ask us most often about roofing.
Roofing costs in Connecticut vary depending on the scope of work, the size of the roof, the materials selected, and the complexity of the installation. A targeted repair for a localized leak may cost a few hundred to a few thousand dollars. A partial shingle replacement of a damaged section might run $1,500 to $5,000. A full residential roof replacement using architectural asphalt shingles typically ranges from $8,000 to $20,000 or more depending on roof size and complexity — larger homes, steep-pitched roofs, and roofs with many penetrations cost more. Metal roofing and premium material systems carry higher upfront costs but lower long-term maintenance. At Shigla’s Construction, every roofing estimate is free, written, and fully itemized so you know exactly what you’re paying for before any work begins.
In most Connecticut municipalities, a permit is required for a full roof replacement but is typically not required for minor repairs such as replacing a few damaged shingles or patching a localized area. The specific requirements vary by city and town some Connecticut municipalities require permits for any work that involves stripping the existing roofing material down to the deck, while others have different thresholds. Shigla’s Construction handles all permit applications as part of our roofing process in Connecticut. You don’t need to research local requirements, fill out forms, or coordinate with your local building department we manage all of that on your behalf, and our projects are fully code-compliant.
The timeline for a roof replacement in Connecticut depends primarily on the size and complexity of the roof, the materials being installed, and the weather. For most standard residential roofs a single-family home with a straightforward gable or hip roof design our crew can typically complete the full tear-off and replacement in one to two days. Larger homes, complex roof designs with multiple valleys and penetrations, or projects that require significant deck repair may take three to four days. We provide a clear, realistic timeline in your written estimate before work begins, and we communicate proactively if weather or other conditions create any changes to the schedule.
This is one of the most important questions in roofing, and the honest answer depends on several factors: the age of your current roof, the extent of the damage, and the overall condition of the roofing system. As a general guideline, if your roof is under 15 years old and the damage is isolated a few missing shingles, a single area of flashing failure, or a localized leak a targeted repair is almost always the most cost-effective solution. If your roof is 20 or more years old, has widespread granule loss on the shingles, has experienced repeated leaks in multiple areas, or has structural issues with the decking, a full replacement is typically the better long-term investment. At Shigla’s Construction, we inspect your roof at no charge and provide an honest recommendation based on what we actually find not on what generates the highest invoice for us.
Yes. Shigla’s Construction is experienced in working with insurance companies on behalf of Connecticut homeowners for storm-damaged and weather-affected roofs. When your roof sustains damage from wind, hail, ice, or storm-related events, your homeowner’s insurance policy may cover the cost of repairs or replacement minus your deductible. We help by conducting a thorough damage inspection and producing detailed documentation including written reports and photographs that your insurance adjuster needs to properly evaluate your claim. We communicate directly with the adjuster to ensure the approved scope of work reflects the complete restoration your roof requires. We never ask homeowners to waive their deductible or engage in any fraudulent insurance practice we work transparently within your policy’s terms to get your roof properly restored.
