We look for specific 'red flags' like curling or missing shingles, heavy grit in your gutters, or water stains on your interior ceilings. According to Roofer's Guild, a typical roof lasts between 25 and 50 years. However, in our experience, many homes in Hamden with roofs over 20 years old have brittle shingles. This is due to Connecticut's harsh freeze-thaw cycles. Our roofers provide an honest assessment: if a targeted repair can safely extend your roof's life, we'll tell you.

Yes. Altieri and Sons Roofing is fully licensed (CT License #HIC #0704777) and carries comprehensive General Liability and Workers Compensation insurance. This protects you from any liability during the project, which is a crucial safeguard that many 'low-bid' roofing contractors often skip.

In our experience, a residential roof replacement in the New Haven County area can be completed in 1 to 2 days. We utilize a 'strip-to-finish' process; this means we don't leave your home exposed overnight. Our crew arrives early and aims to have your property cleaned and your new roof installed by sunset.

We treat your property like our own. As one of the premier roofing companies in Connecticut, we use specialized netting to protect your shrubs and flowers from falling debris. Additionally, we use driveway-safe containers and perform a triple-sweep with industrial magnets to ensure every single nail is collected before we leave.

Your roof must handle heavy snow loads, ice dams, and high winds. We primarily recommend Architectural Asphalt Shingles (such as GAF or Owens Corning) for their superior wind ratings, which mitigate the need for roof repair. We also install professional-grade ice and water shields, which are critical for preventing leaks during Hamden winters.

Absolutely. Beyond the manufacturer's material warranty, we provide our own Workmanship Warranty. If there is ever an issue with your roof related to your roof installation, we will return to fix it at zero cost to you. We are a family-owned business that stands behind every shingle we nail down.

No. As long as we have access to an outdoor power outlet and your driveway is clear, you can go about your day during your scheduled roof replacement. We can provide updates via text or phone so you stay informed on our progress without having to disrupt your busy schedule.

Altieri and Sons Roofing is not just a team of roofing contractors; we're a family-operated business. Unlike large corporations that send random subcontractors, you will have a dedicated project manager or a member of the Altieri family involved in your project to ensure our high standards of craftsmanship are met from start to finish.
