Roof leaks are one of the most common and frustrating issues homeowners face—especially in areas like Connecticut where we experience everything from heavy snow to summer downpours. One of the first questions we hear at Bartlett Contracting, LLC when a homeowner finds a leak is: “Will my insurance cover this?” The answer depends on a few key factors, which we’ll break down below.
If you've noticed green patches or fuzzy growth spreading across your shingles, you're likely dealing with moss. While it might seem harmless at first, moss can cause real damage to your roof over time—especially in Connecticut’s moist, shaded environments. At Bartlett Contracting, LLC, we know how important it is to maintain your roof's health, and moss removal is a key part of that upkeep.
When it comes to choosing a roofing material that offers long-term durability, energy efficiency, and timeless style, metal roofing stands out as one of the top options available to homeowners. At Bartlett Contracting, LLC, we often get asked, “How long does a metal roof last?”—and it’s a great question! If you’re considering a metal roof for your Connecticut home, here's what you need to know about its lifespan and benefits.
Choosing the right shingles for your roof is an important decision, and GAF is one of the most trusted brands in the roofing industry. GAF offers a variety of shingles designed to fit different budgets, styles, and durability needs. Understanding the different grades of GAF shingles can help you select the best option for your home.
When it comes time to replace your roof, you may wonder if you can save time and money by installing new shingles over the existing ones. While this method, known as roof overlay, is an option, it’s not always the best choice. Before making a decision, it’s important to weigh the pros and cons to determine if layering new shingles over old ones is the right move for your home.
Replacing your roof is a major investment, and homeowners often wonder if they can get any tax benefits from the expense. While a new roof typically isn’t directly tax-deductible, there are some situations where you may qualify for tax credits or deductions. Let’s break down what you need to know about tax savings when installing a new roof.
Your roof is one of the most important parts of your home, protecting you and your family from the elements. Over time, however, it will start to show signs of wear and may eventually need to be replaced. But how do you know when it’s time for a new roof? The lifespan of your roof depends on several factors, including the type of materials used, the weather conditions in your area, and how well it has been maintained.
When it comes to roofing, choosing the right shingles is crucial for durability, aesthetics, and weather resistance. With so many options available, understanding the differences between shingle types can help you make an informed decision that suits your home’s style, climate, and budget.
TPO roofing, or Thermoplastic Polyolefin, is a single-ply roofing membrane commonly used on flat and low-slope roofs due to its durability, affordability, and energy efficiency. Made from a blend of polypropylene and ethylene-propylene rubber, TPO is lightweight, resistant to UV rays and chemicals, and highly reflective, making it an excellent option for reducing cooling costs. Its heat-welded seams provide superior waterproofing, and with proper installation, a TPO roof can last 20 to 30 years, making it a popular choice for both commercial and residential buildings.
