Replacing a roof in Greenwich

Most homes in Greenwich are lived in by their owners, about 69 percent, and roughly 63 percent are detached single-family houses. That means the timing and scope of a roof replacement are usually your decision. The harder part is deciding when the time has come. A roof that has reached its expected age, shows wear on nearly every slope, has damaged or soft decking, or already carries more than one layer is generally a candidate for full replacement rather than patching.

About 25 percent of local housing was built before 1940. If yours is among them, ask the contractor what they will inspect once the old covering is off, from sheathing to flashing to ventilation, and how changes to the scope will be handled.

Under Connecticut's building code, replacing the whole roof generally requires a permit, which in town is issued by the Greenwich Building Inspection Division (Department of Public Works). Clarify who will apply. The other topics to cover are the choice of material, the order and timing of the work, what the materials warranty from the manufacturer covers, and how the old roof will be torn off, collected and disposed of.
