Roofing contractors who work under a general home improvement contractor must be registered with the Connecticut Department of Consumer Protection. Roofing contractors who do not work under a general contractor are not required to have a specific state license. You can also verify a general business license through the Department of Consumer Protection.
You can use a number of criteria to find the best roofer near you, including:
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.
