Roof Installation & Replacement in Stratford, CT
New construction, full replacements, and tear-offs — installed with precision and premium materials built for Connecticut's climate.
A New Roof Is One of the Most Important Investments You'll Make.
A properly installed roof protects everything beneath it — your family, your belongings, and the structural integrity of your home. In Connecticut, where winters are harsh and coastal storms are a fact of life, the quality of your installation matters enormously.
Mario Lahuatte has installed hundreds of roofs across Southwestern Connecticut over 30+ years. Every installation is managed personally — from the initial measurement to the final inspection — with the same standard of craftsmanship he's built his reputation on.

Material Selection
We help you choose the right material for your budget, home style, and CT climate requirements.
Tear-Off & Deck Inspection
Old roofing is removed and the deck is inspected for rot, damage, or soft spots. Any issues are addressed before installation begins.
Underlayment & Ice & Water Shield
Proper underlayment and ice & water shield installation — critical in CT's climate — protects against leaks before the first shingle goes down.
Precision Installation
Shingles, metal panels, or membrane systems are installed to manufacturer specs, ensuring full warranty coverage.
Cleanup & Final Inspection
The job site is cleaned thoroughly and Mario walks the completed roof with you before signing off.
CT Climate Considerations
Built for Connecticut Weather
Connecticut's climate is demanding — cold winters with heavy snow and ice, humid summers, coastal wind exposure, and nor'easters that can arrive any time of year. The right material choice and proper installation technique make the difference between a roof that lasts 20 years and one that lasts 50.
Mario selects materials rated for high-wind and cold-weather performance, installs ice & water shield in all vulnerable areas, and follows CT building code requirements on every job.
FAQ
Roof Installation Questions Answered
How long does a full roof replacement take?
Most residential replacements are completed in 1–2 days. Larger homes or complex roof lines may take 2–3 days. Mario will give you a realistic timeline before work begins.
Should I repair or replace my roof?
If your roof is over 20 years old, has widespread damage, or has been repaired multiple times, replacement is usually the better long-term investment. Mario will give you an honest recommendation.
Can I install a new roof over the existing one?
In some cases, yes — but CT building code limits most homes to two layers. Mario will inspect and advise whether an overlay is appropriate or a full tear-off is needed.
What warranties come with a new roof?
You receive both a manufacturer's material warranty (typically 30–50 years depending on product) and Lahuattini Roofing's workmanship warranty on the installation.
Do you handle permits?
Yes. We pull all required permits for your municipality and ensure the installation meets local building codes.
