CMW Roofing & Siding Services in New Haven, CT
Roofing Services for Coastal and City Living
Living in New Haven means facing every type of weather — coastal humidity, heavy rain, snow, and the occasional Nor’easter. Over time, those conditions wear down even the strongest roofs.
Our roofing team handles everything from full replacements to storm repairs, using architectural asphalt shingles, metal systems, and flat roofing for city properties. Each installation is built with proper underlayment, drainage, and ventilation — protecting your home from water intrusion, mold, and heat buildup.
Whether you own a century-old Colonial near Edgewood Park or a coastal property overlooking the Sound, we’ll make sure your roof is ready for every season.
Siding That Strengthens and Beautifies Your Home
New Haven’s older homes deserve siding that matches their charm while standing up to the local climate. Moisture and salt exposure can cause wood or aluminum siding to deteriorate, leading to cracks, drafts, or discoloration.
We install fiber cement, insulated vinyl, and composite siding engineered to handle New Haven’s coastal humidity and temperature swings. Our siding helps seal out moisture, reduce noise, and improve insulation — all while keeping your home’s exterior looking fresh and authentic.
With CMW Roofing & Siding, you don’t have to choose between curb appeal and durability — you get both.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my roof leak only during heavy storms?
New Haven’s coastal winds often drive rain sideways, forcing water into small gaps under shingles or flashing. Even newer roofs can experience this. We inspect for lifted shingles, clogged gutters, or damaged seals to fix leaks at the source.
Is salt air damaging my roof or siding?
Yes — homes near the Sound experience gradual corrosion on nails, flashing, and even paint. We use marine-grade materials and protective coatings to prevent premature rust or fading for coastal properties in areas like Morris Cove.
How long do roofs usually last in New Haven?
Most asphalt roofs last around 20–25 years, but coastal conditions and older construction can shorten that lifespan. Regular maintenance and inspections every 12–18 months can add several years to your roof’s life.
What’s the best siding for New Haven’s weather?
Fiber cement siding performs best here — it resists salt, wind, and moisture while maintaining a traditional look. It’s ideal for homes in historic neighborhoods or near the coast.
I noticed black streaks or moss on my roof — what causes that?
That’s usually algae or moss growth, common in shaded or humid areas like East Rock or Edgewood. It’s mostly cosmetic at first but can damage shingles over time. We offer safe cleaning and algae-resistant roofing options.
My house feels drafty — could that be from old siding?
Yes. Aging siding often loses its seal, allowing air and moisture to pass through. Replacing it with insulated siding improves comfort and energy efficiency, especially during New Haven’s cold winters.
How do I protect my home from ice dams in winter?
Proper attic insulation and ventilation are key. We install ice-and-water shields along roof edges to block melting snow from seeping into your home.
Do you work on older or historic homes in New Haven?
Yes — many of our projects involve restoring roofs and siding for Victorian, Colonial, and early 20th-century homes. We use modern materials that replicate classic textures while improving weather resistance.
Are permits required for roof or siding replacement in New Haven?
Yes. The City of New Haven Building Department requires permits for exterior renovations. We take care of all paperwork and inspection scheduling for a hassle-free process.
How often should I schedule a roof or siding inspection?
At least once a year — ideally in spring or early fall — and after major storms. Regular inspections are the easiest way to prevent small issues from becoming expensive repairs.
