North Stonington homes, from farmhouse to custom build

The oldest roofs in town belong to the colonial-era farmhouses and their barns, scattered along the roads out of North Stonington Center and set on big open lots. Many of those houses have been reroofed with asphalt shingle, but a few still carry wood shingle or standing seam over the original rafters, and nearly all have at least one large center chimney. Mid-century capes and ranches fill in along the main roads and around Clarks Falls, with low to moderate pitches and simple gable roofs. The newest stock is custom homes on several acres, often with complicated rooflines, multiple valleys and attached garages. A typical North Stonington house has been through two or three shingle cycles, and the farmhouses considerably more, so what is under the current roof can vary a great deal.

How North Stonington weather wears a roof

North Stonington is inland, hilly and heavily wooded, with open fields around the old farms. Snow sits longer here than on the Stonington shoreline a few miles south, and the freeze-thaw cycling through late winter builds ice at the eaves of houses with cold attics. Tree canopy over many lots keeps north slopes shaded and damp, which brings moss and holds debris in valleys and behind chimneys. Branches come down in ice storms and wind. On the open farm lots the wind has a clear run at the roof, and tabs lift on the exposed slopes.

Where North Stonington roofs usually fail

The farmhouses in North Stonington leak most often at the big center chimney, where old flashing and crumbling mortar let water into the attic. Valleys clogged with leaves wear through sooner than open ones. On the capes and ranches, the typical calls are ice dam damage at the eaves, split pipe boots and wind-lifted shingles on the exposed side. On the newer custom houses, the trouble is usually a valley or a wall-to-roof transition that was flashed poorly when the house was built. Our approach is the same for all of them: find where the water enters, write up the scope and price, repair that area and cover it with a 1-year leak-proof warranty.

Questions before a repair

The flashing on my old North Stonington farmhouse chimney keeps leaking. Can it be fixed without rebuilding the chimney?

Usually. On a center chimney from the farmhouse era, the leak is often at the step and counter flashing or in deteriorated mortar joints rather than in the masonry itself. We inspect the flashing, the cricket if there is one, and the mortar, then write a scope that covers reflashing and repointing the affected area. If the chimney needs a mason, we say so.

A branch came down on my roof in North Stonington. What does a repair for that involve?

We start by checking whether the damage is only shingles or whether the decking or rafters took the hit. A limb through the sheathing is a different repair from scuffed shingles. The written scope describes exactly what gets replaced, from shingles alone to decking and framing, and the repaired area carries one-year workmanship coverage. Photos of the damage help us prepare for the visit.

What should I do immediately when my roof starts leaking?

Protect people first, then arrange an assessment of the water entry and any temporary protection. An active leak does not make a wet roof safe to access.

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.
