Stonington housing, Borough to Pawcatuck

Stonington holds some of the oldest coastal housing in the state. Stonington Borough is a dense peninsula village of eighteenth- and nineteenth-century houses, with steep gables, gambrels, dormers and chimneys on small lots that leave little room for staging. Mystic and Old Mystic have a similar age of housing along the river, mixed with later capes and colonials on the hills behind. Pawcatuck, across the river from Westerly, was built for mill workers, with two-family and three-family frame houses and flat-roofed porches. Lords Point and the other shore points are summer cottage communities, many now year-round, with low pitches and roofs facing the water. Newer subdivisions fill the land between. Asphalt shingle is the norm, with wood shingle and slate surviving on some Borough and Mystic houses. The oldest roofs have had many lives.

Stonington's coastal exposure, roof by roof

Everything in Stonington is close to salt water. The Borough and the shore points take direct wind off Fishers Island Sound and the full force of nor'easters, which drive rain under shingle edges and into flashing. Salt corrodes galvanized flashing and fasteners and pulls granules from shingles sooner than inland. Mystic and Old Mystic are a little more sheltered along the river but damper, so algae streaks and moss show on shaded slopes. Pawcatuck is the same, with river humidity under tree cover. Snow is lighter than inland, but ice at the eaves still appears on the older houses with unheated attics.

Stonington leaks and their usual sources

Wind damage is the first thing homeowners here describe after a storm: lifted or missing shingles on the Sound-facing slopes at Lords Point and in the Borough, and rain driven in at the rakes and eaves. Flashing corroded by salt lets water in at chimneys and dormer walls. On the Pawcatuck multi-family houses, the flat porch roofs and the joints between porch and wall are the recurring problem. In Mystic and Old Mystic, moss and algae on shaded roofs lift shingles and hold water. For every call, we locate where the water enters, write the scope and price, do the repair and back the repaired area with one-year workmanship coverage.

Questions before a repair

Can you repair the slate roof on my Stonington Borough house, or does it have to be replaced?

Slate roofs are within our scope and are often repairable. Broken or slipped slates can be replaced individually with matching slate and hooks, and failed flashing at chimneys and valleys can be renewed without disturbing the field. If the slates are delaminating across the roof, replacement is the honest recommendation. The written scope tells you which applies.

After a storm at Lords Point, rain came in at the edge of the roof. What usually causes that?

Wind-driven rain at the shore enters at the rake and eave edges when the drip edge is missing or the starter course has lost its seal. Sometimes the first shingles have lifted and let water under the underlayment. The repair replaces the edge metal, reseals or replaces the starter and first courses, and adds ice barrier if none is there. That area carries one-year workmanship coverage.

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.

Read the repair guidance →

Can a leak be fixed from inside, or with sealant alone?

An interior patch may hide the symptom while water continues entering the roof assembly. Sealant is useful only where it is part of an appropriate repair detail.
