Roofing

Most residential roof replacements range widely depending on size, pitch, layers being removed and the material you choose. We provide a free inspection and a line-item estimate so you see exactly what you are paying for.

Most homes are completed in one to three days. Larger or more complex roofs with steep pitches, multiple layers or extensive flashing work may take longer, and we will give you a realistic schedule up front.

Yes. We document the damage, provide Xactimate estimates and communicate with your adjuster to help the claim move smoothly from inspection through final restoration.

Siding

Most single-family homes are completed in five to ten working days depending on square footage, the condition of the sheathing and the complexity of the trim work.

Yes. We replace damaged sheathing, trim and framing as needed so the new siding sits on a sound, dry substrate instead of covering up rot.

It depends on your budget, style and maintenance goals. We install vinyl and composite systems and will walk you through durability, insulation value and long-term cost before you decide.

Gutters

Seamless gutters are fabricated in a single run on site, so there are far fewer joints where leaks and separation can occur. The result is a cleaner look and a longer-lasting system.

Most Connecticut homes need cleaning at least twice a year, usually in late spring and late fall. Homes surrounded by trees may need it more often, or benefit from a gutter guard system.

Yes. We assess gutter sizing, pitch and downspout placement, and often extend or redirect drainage so runoff exits well away from the foundation and landscaping.

Interior Renovations

Most bathrooms take two to four weeks and kitchens three to six weeks, depending on scope, material lead times and whether walls or utilities are being moved. We give you a realistic schedule before we start.

Most families stay home. We set up dust barriers, protect floors and belongings, and keep a working area available whenever possible.

Yes. We manage the complete scope, including plumbing rough-in, electrical work and any required inspections, so you are not coordinating multiple contractors.

Water Damage Restoration

Immediately. Mold can begin to develop within 24 to 48 hours, so the faster drying starts, the more of the structure can be saved and the lower the total repair cost.

Yes. Our emergency line is available 24/7 because water damage does not wait for business hours.

We document the damage, provide an itemized Xactimate estimate and communicate with your adjuster to support a clear, well-organized claim.

Insurance Claims & Xactimate

Xactimate is the estimating platform most insurers use to price restoration work. Preparing our scope in the same system helps line items match up and reduces confusion during review.

If required work is missing, we prepare supplemental documentation to support it and communicate with your adjuster. You should not have to cover legitimate covered repairs out of pocket.

Yes. We document the damage, build the estimate and then perform the mitigation and reconstruction ourselves, so the approved scope is exactly what gets built.
