Planning a repair in Greenwich

Greenwich’s exemption list addresses roof-covering repairs limited to a stated share within one calendar year. Keep track of the area already repaired that year before treating another patch as exempt. The rule does not establish that structural work, altered details or every associated trade is exempt; confirm the actual scope.

Greenwich roofs: slate, cedar and copper from the shore to the backcountry

Greenwich's roofs are the most varied in the state. The backcountry holds estates from the early twentieth century and newer custom homes with slate, cedar, copper and designer-profile roofs on complex rooflines with turrets, dormers and multiple chimneys. Old Greenwich, Riverside and Cos Cob are shoreline villages of shingle-style and colonial revival houses, newer shore homes and mid-century capes. Byram and Glenville are denser and older, with two-families and small colonials on close lots. Teardowns and new construction keep rooflines changing. Buyers inspect everything, and roof condition is part of every sale.

Sound wind and estate shade on Greenwich roofs

Shoreline roofs take salt air and wind-driven rain from nor'easters and tropical storms, which push water under slate, cedar and flashing from angles ordinary rain never reaches and corrode exposed metal. The backcountry is heavily wooded, so roofs are shaded, moss and algae grow on north slopes and valleys fill with leaves. Steep pitches on the estates shed snow but build ice behind dormers and in valleys after a cold snap, and complex rooflines have many inside corners for it. Freeze and thaw works at copper and lead flashing on the older houses.

Where Greenwich's premium roofs leak

Flashing leads everywhere: turret bases, dormer cheeks, valleys between intersecting gables, skylight curbs, chimney counterflashing and the joints on houses added onto several times. On the shore it is wind-driven rain working under slate and cedar and corroded fasteners. In the backcountry it is moss, debris and ice in inside corners. In Byram and Glenville it is chimneys, porch roofs and eaves on older houses. We repair slate and cedar piece by piece where sound, find the actual entry point, write the scope and price before any work, and cover the authorized repaired area with a 1-year leak-proof warranty.

Written for Greenwich homes in general. Your roof is assessed on site; the written scope describes what we actually find.

Questions before a repair

My backcountry Greenwich house has a slate roof with copper flashing that leaks at one valley. Can it be repaired?

Yes, where the slate is sound. Valley copper on an older estate roof wears through or pulls loose with freeze and thaw, and the repair replaces the valley metal and resets the slate around it with matching pieces. We inspect, tell you in writing what the roof has left and scope only that valley.

Our Old Greenwich house leaks only in storms off the Sound. What is going on?

Wind-driven rain. A nor'easter pushes water up under shingles, cedar and counterflashing that shed ordinary rain fine. We check the windward rake, the chimney flashing and the step flashing at walls, repair the actual gap and write the scope first.

Read the repair guidance →

How can the source of a roof leak be located?

The ceiling stain is a starting point, not a reliable map of the outside defect. Water can travel before it becomes visible.

Read the repair guidance →

Why does my roof leak only during heavy or wind-driven rain?

A leak limited to certain storms can indicate a detail that sheds ordinary rain but fails when water is driven toward a joint or backs up. The timing is evidence, not a diagnosis.

Read the repair guidance →

How do ice dams and melting snow cause roof leaks?

Meltwater can back up behind ice at a colder roof edge and reach places the roof normally sheds water away from. Stopping the immediate entry and reducing recurrence are separate tasks.
