New Canaan CT - Roofing – Above all else, take care of your roof
The roof is one of the most critical feature of your New Canaan, CT home, and also one of the single most expensive parts. Yes, it should look appealing and improve your home’s overall curb appeal. But more important, it needs to protect your home and weather the elements. As a long-experienced roofing contractor, Gerety Building & Restoration is remarkably familiar with the wide fluctuations in temperature, high winds, heavy snows, and pouring rains that are part of living in New Canaan and the rest of Fairfield County, CT
Gerety Building & Restoration is a GAF-certified master roofer. Our roofing contractor services include:
- New roofs – Gerety can help you select the right tiles and pattern for an addition’s seamless match with a pre-existing structure. We can install cedar, asphalt, slate, and terra cotta, as well as new forms of energy-efficient roofing materials. We can replicate what you have or guide you in selecting tiles and shingles to give your house an updated look.
- Roof repairs – Replacing broken or cracked tiles and shingles can extend the life of your roof significantly. You can be assured that Gerety is meticulous in making repairs that blend in with the existing surface.
- Gutter installation – Winds, snow, and leaves can cause damage to your gutters and prevent them from working properly. Gerety can replace your copper or aluminum seamless gutters.
- Chimney, window, and roof flashing – Done by our professional coppersmith to protect against moisture and seepage.
Our work as a New Canaan, CT roofing company goes beyond what you see on the outside.
- Air ventilation and insulation – We take every precaution to make sure your roof has sufficient air ventilation and insulation to prevent ice dams from forming, and to assist with cooling during the warm-weather months.
- Ice shields – This extra step under the exterior roofing helps to further prevent ice dams. Not all roofing companies do this, and not all homeowners ask. For us, it’s a requisite part of a new roof.
- Heat wires – If your home is plagued with ice or snow build-up, heat wires may help you avoid damage to your roof due to excessive weight.
Selecting the appropriate roofing company can be one of your most imporant decisions and one of your largest home investments. Gerety Building & Restoration has the experience and the knowledge you can trust.
History of New Canaan CT
"In 1731, Connecticut's colonial legislature established Canaan Parish as a religious entity in northwestern Norwalk and northeastern Stamford. The right to form a Congregational church was granted to the few families scattered through the area. As inhabitants of Norwalk or Stamford, Canaan Parish settlers still had to vote, pay taxes, serve on juries, and file deeds in their home towns. Because Canaan Parish was not planned as a town, New Canaan, when incorporated in 1801, found itself without a central common, a main street or a town hall."
“I want to reiterate what a superior job the roofers did on our house. Not only is it extremely well done, but I have never seen a crew work so efficiently in my life.” Clarke M., South Salem, NY
