The Roofing Store

I wanted to send you a note to let you know how much we appreciate the effort and good communication you've shown us while working on our roof. As you know, we have an old house (over 130 years), and like many cranky, old people, our home doesn't always make things easy when we try to update it. But you and your crew have been diligent and creative in finding ways to keep us warm and dry. From the initial proposal, to the tear down and new roof, and subsequent followups, you have demonstrated professionalism and integrity.

We started business in the state of Connecticut as Driscoll Building & Remodeling LLC back in 1982. Prior to that, Mike worked with his father and grandfather in New London and Windham counties. They were successful building contractors and worked for over 40 years in the more prominent sites in the area. With Driscoll Building & Remodeling LLC, we did approximately 10-15 roofs each year. Word got out about our work, and we started getting phone calls from other contractors' clients - unsatisfied customers - ones who weren't happy with how their roofs had come out, the workmanship, and the quality - or lack thereof.

There are few things more comforting than sitting in front of a fire on a cold winter's night. If you don't take care to keep your chimney properly maintained, it can also be dangerous. Your chimney should be inspected annually. How often you use your fireplace will determine how often it needs to be cleaned. A properly functioning chimney cap will help protect the inside of your home. The exterior inspection is done both on the roof and anywhere in the home that the chimney can be viewed. The inspection includes checking flashing on the roof and the mortar which can crack especially after a winter with many freeze-thaw cycles.

For some homeowners there is no option other than a traditional wooden replacement windows. If you need new windows for your home and want wood, consider Trimline wood windows.

Skylights are more than just windows on your roof. Of course, they do provide more light, but a quality skylight will minimize your heating, cooling, and lighting costs which can lower your overall electric usage. One consideration a company like The Roofing Store can help with is advising you on the best location for your skylight installation. For example, when your skylight installation is on a roof facing east or west, you'll have morning or afternoon light and solar heating. When you choose a skylight that opens, you can increase a room's air circulation and allow the warm air to escape.

Few roofing options endure like asphalt shingles. When a roof can account for as much as 40% of the average building's exterior, many factors weigh into your choice of materials. Some surfaces are more beautiful than others. Some offer greater resilience or endurance. Some are more affordable. But the one roofing surface which offers all those attributes in balance is the asphalt shingle. Although many commercial buildings have steep slope roofing, many that do have asphalt shingles. Commercial property owners of steep slope buildings know that when you're looking for a great looking roof that is fire and wind resistance, asphalt is an excellent option.
