Colchester sits where four counties meet, about twenty-five minutes northwest of our Norwich shop. We work on everything here from centuries-old farmhouses near the green to subdivision colonials built in the 1990s.
Far enough from the Sound to get meaningfully more snow and harder freeze-thaw cycling than the shoreline towns, with two distinct housing eras that fail in different ways.
Ice damming is the dominant winter problem, and snow load matters on longer roof spans. Ice and water shield at eaves and valleys isn't a nice-to-have here.
The single most common thing we find on Colchester tear-offs is inadequate ventilation — soffit intake blocked by insulation, no ridge exhaust, and a deck that's been running hot in summer and warm in winter. It shortens roof life and causes the ice damming.
Colchester built a lot of houses in that window, and builder-grade three-tab shingles from that era typically run about 20 to 25 years in this climate. If your home was built then, your original roof is probably due.
In and around the town center: steep pitches, additions built across generations, and chimney flashing long past due.
Everything we do, we do here.
Permits: roof replacement in Colchester requires a building permit. We handle it.
We couldn't be happier with Christopher Home Improvement. Raul and his team replaced our roof, installed new gutters, and the results are amazing. Everything was completed on schedule with no time wasted.
— Tristan Fowler, via GoogleRaul and his team were a delight. Their work ethic is exceptional. Everything we discussed prior to installation was executed. The team finished the job in one day, including cleaning. We would highly recommend Christopher's Home Improvement.
— Connie S., via GoogleNew home that ended up having a series of leaks and gutter issues over winter. The Christopher Home Improvement team gave us an outstanding quote that included a full roof replacement and gutter installation.
— Jack Lamb, via GoogleAbout twenty-five minutes. We're in Norwich at 16 A Winchester St.
Worth an inspection. Builder-grade shingles from that period generally last 20 to 25 years here, so you're in the window. A free estimate tells you whether you have years left or should be planning.
A new roof with ice and water shield stops the water from getting inside, but the ice forms because warm air is escaping into the attic. Ventilation and insulation are the actual fix, and we assess both.
Yes. We inspect the full deck after tear-off and show you photos of anything we replace before it gets covered.
