Replacing a roof in Stratford

Deciding between patching and replacing usually comes down to four signs: the age of the roof, how widespread the wear is, the state of the deck, and how many layers are already up there. If two or more of those point the wrong way, a full replacement is generally the more sensible project.

Stratford's housing makes the deck question especially relevant. About 55 percent of the housing predates 1960, so many roofs sit on older sheathing that may need sections replaced once the covering is off. Ask how that extra work would be documented and approved before it happens. With about 82 percent of homes owner-occupied, most of these choices fall to you directly.

Cold-season weather adds a detail. The zone had 22 winter storm or heavy snow events on record, so include an ice and water barrier at the eaves in the written scope. Then compare roofing materials, the proposed calendar, and the manufacturer's coverage for the products, and confirm how the old roofing will be torn off and carted away. A full roof replacement generally needs a building permit from the Stratford Building Official; ask the contractor to confirm they will apply for it.
