10 Best Roofers in Connecticut

You can use a number of criteria to find the best roofer near you, including:

• Time frame: You want to hire a company that can render services within the time frame you need.
• Cost: You want to choose a company that works with your budget, but be wary of any contractor who offers too-good-to-be-true rates.
• Licensing: Make sure the contractor or company is properly licensed in Connecticut.
• Membership in trade organizations: Membership in organizations like the National Roofing Contractors Association (NRCA) isn't required but can signify a strong commitment to the trade. These memberships help roofers connect with other professionals and engage in continuing education.
• Reviews and recommendations: Do you know anyone who has hired one of the roofers in your area? What do online reviews have to say about various companies?

The best way to estimate how much your roof repairs will cost is to ask a contractor directly, as many things can influence the price tag. On average, Connecticut homeowners pay about $1,036 for roof repairs.

When you hire a roofer from another state, be sure you're aware of the contractor licensing requirements in Connecticut (see above). Any contractors who work on your home must be licensed in the state that it's in.

Your roof needs a good cleaning about once annually. If you notice a buildup of mold, moss, mildew, or leaves (or if you live in an area with more trees), you or a professional may need to clean your roof more often.

Roof repair or replacement can significantly improve the value of your home. Some of this value will be offset by the cost of the work, so it's important to check with a financial advisor before beginning any large project. Even if the increase in your home value isn't as large as you'd hoped, having a new or repaired roof can greatly improve your quality of life.
