Overview
Proven, good-looking, and easy on the budget.
Architectural asphalt shingle is the workhorse of the Connecticut roofline. The layered, dimensional tabs throw a deep shadow that reads like a far pricier roof, and the color range is the widest of any material we install.
It installs fast, performs through CT freeze-thaw winters and summer storms, and is simple to service down the road. For most homes, it is the smart starting point. We will tell you honestly when it is the right call and when metal earns its premium.
What makes ours different
Not the roof the hedge funds sell you.
Same shingle name on the box, three real differences on your roof.
Class 4 shingles, standard
We install only Class 4 impact-resistant shingles, the highest impact rating there is (UL 2218). Most roofers lay standard shingles and upcharge for Class 4. On our roofs it is the baseline, and it can earn you a homeowners insurance discount.
A warranty we actually honor
Our in-house 20-year leak-proof warranty is no questions asked. If it leaks, we fix it. No runaround, no fine print, no proving you are worthy of a claim. Just the local company that built it, standing behind it.
A genuinely local company
We are not a hedge-fund roll-up with a local-sounding name and a national call center. Ten is local, and he puts his name on every roof. You deal with the people who did the work, before and after.
Manufacturer “lifetime” warranty
Sounds huge. In practice it is prorated after a few years, covers materials and not the labor to fix them, requires a certified install, and comes with a page of exclusions. Almost nobody ever collects.
Our 20-year in-house warranty
No questions asked. It covers the actual leak, it is honored directly by us, it is in writing, and it transfers to the next owner if you sell. A shorter number you can actually use beats a bigger one you cannot.
The people on your roof
A local crew that stands behind the work.
Your roof is installed by our own crew, not handed off to whichever subcontractor is cheapest that week. Ten is on the job and puts his name on it. When you call after the work is done, you reach the same people who did it.
- Licensed CT HIC.0703927, fully insured
- Photos documented from start to finish
- The owner is reachable, before and after the job
The finished roof
Curb appeal that lasts a generation.
A clean, dimensional Class 4 shingle roof, installed to manufacturer spec, sharp lines at every valley and ridge, and a magnetic nail sweep of the whole property before we leave. You see the color on real samples at your free 3D inspection, then again on your own roof in the digital report.

Why homeowners choose it
Value, choice, and a fast, clean install.
25 to 30 year lifespan
A well-installed architectural shingle roof lasts a generation. Ventilation, flashing, and install quality decide whether it makes it, and we document all three.
Best value
Asphalt gives you the most roof for the money up front, which is why it covers the majority of CT homes. You still get the full warranty and the same crew standards.
Widest color range
From driftwood gray to charcoal and warm brown, asphalt has more colors than any other roof. Easy to match siding and trim, easy to refresh your curb appeal.

Weighing a longer-life roof?
Asphalt is the value pick. If you plan to keep the home for decades, a metal roof can be worth the premium. See the two side by side.
Asphalt shingle questions, answered
How much does an asphalt shingle roof cost in Connecticut?
Asphalt shingle is the best-value roof we install, so it sits at the friendly end of the range. Because price depends on the size, pitch, and shape of your roof, we measure and price it on-site at your free 3D inspection rather than guessing online. You get one written number, no surprises later.
How long does an asphalt shingle roof last in CT?
A properly installed architectural shingle roof lasts about 25 to 30 years in Connecticut. The big factors are ventilation, flashing, and install quality, which is where most early failures come from. We document all three at handoff.
What is the difference between architectural and 3-tab shingles?
Architectural (also called dimensional) shingles are thicker, layered, and carry a longer life and a deeper, shadowed look. 3-tab is the older flat style. We install architectural shingle as standard because it lasts longer and looks better on a CT home.
What colors can I choose from?
A wide range, from weathered wood and driftwood grays to charcoal, slate, and warm browns. Asphalt has the largest color selection of any roof type, so it is easy to match your siding and trim. You see real samples at your inspection.
What shingles do you install?
We install only Class 4 impact-resistant shingles, the highest impact rating there is (UL 2218). Most roofers use standard shingles and charge extra for Class 4. On our roofs it is standard, and Class 4 can qualify you for a homeowners insurance discount, so ask your insurer.
Is an asphalt shingle roof covered by your warranty?
Yes, and we honor it. Every shingle roof carries our in-house 20-year leak-proof workmanship warranty in writing, no questions asked. If it leaks, we fix it. Manufacturer "lifetime" warranties sound bigger, but they are prorated, cover materials and not labor, and almost nobody ever collects. Ours is shorter and real, and it transfers to the next owner if you sell.
Are you a local roofing company?
Yes, genuinely local. We are not a hedge-fund roll-up using a local-sounding name and a national call center. Ten is local and puts his name on every roof, so you deal with the same people before, during, and after the job.
