A. Not always. Leaks can occur at sections of a roof that are damaged or due to deteriorated/loose flashings.

A. There are several things you need to know to ensure that the potential Contractor is qualified to perform work to your satisfaction. For example: Does the company carry Liability and Worker's Compensation Insurance? Are they licensed by the State of Connecticut Department of Consumer Protection? This can be verified by calling Consumer Protection @ 1-800-842-2649 and checking their Licensed Contractor's Registration Number. Weathertite Systems LLC can answer these questions in the affirmative and routinely provides such documentation during Customer inquiries. Does the Contractor have a regular business office? Weathertite Systems LLC's office is located in Prospect, CT. Another very important question is the extent of the written warranty and your satisfaction guarantee with the Contractor's installation. You can view Weathertite Systems' warranty policy in the About Us section. Weathertite Systems LLC offers a selection of the most comprehensive warranties in the industry.

Q. Do I need to protect items inside my house from possible damage? top of page A. Yes. There is some vibration that transfers through the frame of the home. Fragile items, not securely fastened or nested, should be secured and protected. Picture frames not securely mounted to the wall and delicate free standing objects such as crystal should be protected from vibration. Q. Will there be debris in my attic after the work is completed? top of page A. Yes. Fine grit can fall between cracks of the decking. There will also be some saw dust in the attic from the required Ridgevent installation. Why do I need a Ridgevent? Ridgevents expel heat and humidity build-up in the attic space created from day to day living activities. Leaking problems often occur from poor ventilation. A Ridgevent is a standard installation on all Weathertite Systems, LLC roofing projects because it is essential to maintain adequate ventilation and comply with the shingle manufacturer's warranty requirements. A common reason for shingle manufacturers denying claims for shingle defects is lack of adequate ventilation. It is recommended that you cover anything where accumulation of this material will be a concern.
Q. What about possible damage to my home's exterior and landscaping? top of page A. Weathertite Systems LLC has a dedicated ground crew whose main concern is to insure that your home and property is protected at all times from falling debris and to ensure that residual materials are removed from your property at the end of the project. Brooms and magnetic sweepers are utilized to remove any nails that may have popped out. With Weathertite Systems LLC, your property will look exactly like it did before the work began, except you will have a quality roof installation that will accent your most valuable asset. Your home. Guaranteed!
A. The price of a new roof varies widely, depending on the materials selected. We recommend you obtain other quotes from reputable Contractors in your area. Value is not just about price. It includes product, services, warranty and workmanship. In the roofing profession there are different levels of expertise and craftsmanship. Also, roofing materials have different grades, styles, shapes and corresponding prices. You need to look at the full range of product and make your decision based on your budget and needs. Compare those quotes and ask questions. Quite often the cheapest solution is potentially more damaging than one which appears slightly more expensive.
