Before Hiring a Roofing Pro in Westport
Use this checklist to vet contractors before signing a contract.
Ask about manufacturer certifications (GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning)
Certified installers offer extended manufacturer warranties — often 25-50 years — that non-certified roofers cannot provide.
Request a written scope that specifies underlayment, ice-and-water shield, and flashing details
Northeast freeze-thaw cycles demand proper ice-and-water shield at eaves, valleys, and penetrations. Cheap jobs skip this.
Confirm they carry roofing-specific liability insurance (not just general liability)
Roof work is classified as high-risk. Some general policies exclude it. Ask for a certificate naming you as additionally insured.
Verify they will pull the building permit and schedule the inspection
Roof replacements require permits in virtually every municipality. An unpermitted roof can cause problems when you sell.
Check the contractor's license or registration with the office that issued it
Connecticut's eLicense lookup shows home improvement registrations and trade licenses with their current status. Search the business name, the owner's name, or a registration number.
Confirm general liability insurance and workers' compensation coverage
Ask for a certificate of insurance (COI) naming you as additionally insured. Workers' comp protects you if a worker is injured on your property.
Get 2-3 written estimates that itemize labor, materials, and timeline
Lump-sum quotes hide details. Itemized estimates let you compare apples to apples and catch hidden costs.

Best Time to Hire a Roofing Pro in Connecticut
Seasonal timing guide for the Northeast (CT/NY metro area).
Schedule a post-winter inspection to catch ice dam damage and lifted shingles. Book replacements now — roofers fill their summer calendars by mid-April.
Peak season with the longest wait times (3-6 weeks). Best conditions for shingle adhesion above 70°F. Expect premium pricing and limited availability.
Last window before winter. Prioritize any repairs before the first freeze. Shingles need 40°F+ to seal properly. October is the cutoff for most full replacements.
Emergency repairs only at premium rates. Shingles cannot properly seal below 40°F. Use this time to get quotes and schedule your spring project.
