Roofing Contractor in Old Lyme, CT

Every replacement starts with a full tear-off to bare sheathing so we can check for rot and soft spots, which show up more often here because of the humidity off the rivers and the Sound. We install synthetic underlayment across the full deck, upgraded ice and water shield in all valleys and at the eaves, and corrosion-resistant flashing and fasteners — because standard galvanized hardware doesn’t hold up long when salt air is in the mix.

Roof RepairsNot every roof problem means you need a full replacement. If your shingles still have good life in them but you’ve got a flashing failure at the chimney, a cracked pipe boot, or wind damage from the last storm, a repair is the right call and we’ll say so. We handle targeted shingle replacement, ridge vent repairs, valley re-flashing, and leak diagnosis. Old Lyme homes near the Lieutenant River and along the shore tend to develop issues sooner than homes further inland — the moisture exposure is relentless during summer, and winter storms hit the shoreline properties hard. If you’ve noticed a water stain on your ceiling or damp spots in the attic, don’t let it sit. In this climate, a small leak turns into a mold problem and structural damage faster than you’d think.

Storm and Coastal DamageOld Lyme catches serious weather. Nor’easters drive up Long Island Sound and slam into the shoreline along Sound View and Shore Road. Summer thunderstorms roll across the Connecticut River and dump heavy rain on the whole town in a hurry. High winds peel back shingles and lift flashing, and the driving rain that follows finds every weak point. When storm damage hits, we respond quickly — emergency tarping to stop active leaks, full damage inspections, and direct coordination with your insurance adjuster. We’ll walk the roof with the adjuster to make sure the claim reflects what actually happened. The Town of Old Lyme requires permits for full roof replacements, and we handle every permit and inspection so you don’t have to chase paperwork while you’re dealing with damage.

Gutters and Drainage

Old Lyme has some of the most mature tree cover in the shoreline region. The oaks and maples along Lyme Street, the heavy canopy around the Bee and Thistle area, and the woods surrounding Rogers Lake all dump leaves and debris into gutters every fall — and keep dropping twigs and pollen through the spring. Add in the rain volume that comes with coastal storms and the runoff from properties near the Lieutenant River, and your gutters need to move serious water without clogging or overflowing. We install seamless gutters custom-fabricated on-site to fit your roofline exactly, with no joints to leak or trap debris. We use corrosion-resistant hangers that hold up in the salt air and properly pitch every run so water flows to the downspouts instead of pooling. We also install gutter guards for homeowners who are tired of cleaning out leaves three times a year. On every full roof replacement, we inspect the existing gutters and recommend re-pitching or replacement if they’re not keeping up.
