Roofing Built for New Canaan’s Homes and Weather
New Canaan’s mix of older and newer properties means every roof has different needs. Some homes need preservation work to match original materials, while others require modern upgrades for better insulation and energy efficiency.
Our team installs architectural asphalt, cedar shake, metal, and slate roofing — each selected to complement your home’s style and protect it through Connecticut’s changing seasons. From heavy snow in winter to humid summers, our roofing systems are designed for strength, efficiency, and refined curb appeal.
We understand that in a town like New Canaan, your roof isn’t just a layer of protection — it’s part of your home’s story.
Siding That Blends Durability with Design
In neighborhoods filled with historic charm and architectural detail, siding needs to do more than protect — it has to look right. Our siding specialists help New Canaan homeowners choose materials that balance performance with timeless design.
Fiber cement, engineered wood, and high-grade vinyl siding are popular options for the area’s traditional homes. We color-match every project to complement architectural features like trim, shutters, and stonework, so your home retains its classic New England appearance while gaining the benefits of modern weather resistance.
From Silvermine to Talmadge Hill, we help homeowners keep their exteriors pristine, energy-efficient, and built to last.

Frequently Asked Questions
My home is older — how do I know if the original roof needs replacing?
If your roof is over 20 years old or showing signs like curling shingles, soft spots, or interior stains, it’s time for an inspection. Many older New Canaan homes still have original materials that look fine from the ground but hide water damage beneath. We can evaluate whether restoration or full replacement makes more sense.
How do trees around my property affect my roof?
New Canaan’s wooded lots are beautiful but can cause issues — falling branches, moss buildup, and clogged gutters are common. Overhanging trees also trap moisture on shingles, which shortens their lifespan. We recommend seasonal cleaning and trimming to prevent this.
I’ve noticed dark streaks or stains on my roof — what is that?
Those black or green streaks are usually algae or moss, which thrive in shaded areas and older shingles. They’re mostly cosmetic at first but can eventually degrade the material. We use safe, non-damaging cleaning methods to remove stains and prevent regrowth.
Can I replace my siding without changing the look of my home?
Yes. Many New Canaan homeowners worry about losing their home’s original character. We specialize in matching colors, profiles, and trim details to preserve your exterior’s architectural style while improving insulation and weather protection.
What kind of roofing material adds the most value to a New Canaan home?
Slate and cedar shake are popular for higher-end or historic properties, offering timeless beauty and long lifespans. For newer builds, architectural shingles or standing-seam metal roofs provide excellent value with lower maintenance requirements.
How do I prevent ice dams during winter?
Proper attic insulation and ventilation are key. Uneven heat loss causes snow to melt and refreeze along roof edges. We install ice-and-water barriers and check ventilation to keep your roof clear and protected through harsh winters.
My siding looks dull — does that mean it’s time to replace it?
Not always. Sometimes a professional cleaning can restore its color. However, if you see cracks, swelling, or gaps where water can enter, replacement may be needed. We’ll inspect and recommend the most cost-effective option.
Do you handle roofs and siding for custom or designer homes?
Yes. We regularly collaborate with homeowners and designers on custom projects. Our installations are precise, clean, and tailored to maintain your home’s design integrity while improving performance.
Do you take care of permits for New Canaan roofing projects?
Yes, we manage all Town of New Canaan Building Department permits and inspections. You don’t have to worry about paperwork — we make sure everything meets Connecticut state codes and local requirements.
What’s the best time of year to schedule a roofing or siding project in New Canaan?
Spring and early fall are ideal — weather conditions are mild and materials seal perfectly. However, we work year-round and can schedule around your needs, even for emergency repairs after storms.
