Frequently Asked Questions
Your Roofing Questions Answered by SkyShield Roofing – Lisbon, CT
1. How do I know if I need a new roof?
Look for signs like missing or curling shingles, roof sagging, water stains on ceilings, and recurring leaks. These are strong indicators that your roof may need to be replaced or professionally repaired.
​
2. How long does a roof last?
Lifespan varies based on material and climate:
-
Asphalt shingles: 15–30 years
-
Metal roofing: 40–70 years
-
Flat roofs (TPO, EPDM): 20–30 years
Routine maintenance can help extend your roof’s life.
3. What’s the best roofing material for New England weather?
Durable options like Titan XT asphalt shingles and metal roofing hold up well to Connecticut's snow, ice, and wind. These materials resist damage and provide long-term protection.
4. How much does roof replacement cost?
Costs vary depending on roof size, pitch, and material. On average, roof replacements in Connecticut range from $8,000 to $15,000. Contact us for a customized, no-obligation quote.
5. Does homeowners insurance cover roof damage?
Yes, if the damage is due to a covered event like wind, hail, or falling debris. SkyShield Roofing works directly with insurance providers to guide you through the claims process and provide detailed damage reports.
6. How long does it take to install a new roof?
Most residential roof replacements are completed in 1–2 days, weather permitting. Larger homes or commercial buildings may take longer depending on the scope of work.
7. Do I have to be home during roof installation?
No. As long as we have access to your property and clear communication, you don’t need to be home. We keep you updated throughout the project.
8. What kind of warranties do you offer?
We provide:
-
Manufacturer warranties (up to 50 years depending on material)
-
Workmanship warranties for installation quality
We also document maintenance to help you preserve warranty validity.
9. Can roof damage be repaired, or should I replace the whole roof?
Small issues like a few missing shingles or minor flashing damage can often be repaired. However, if your roof is 15+ years old or has widespread damage, full replacement may be more cost-effective and safer long term.
