Canaan Roofing Services
We've been providing roofing services to Canaan homeowners and businesses for 16 years. From repairs to full replacements. It's all we do, and we do it right.
Roof Replacement
We replace roofs. It's what we do more than anything else. Our Canaan crews average 15-20 complete tear-off and replacements per month. That kind of volume means we've seen every situation: steep pitches, multiple layers, rotted decking, improper ventilation from the last guy. We fix all of it and install a roof system that's warranted for decades.

Improper step flashing is the leading cause of roof leaks at wall-to-roof transitions. Step flashing needs to be woven between shingle courses with each piece extending 4" above the shingle exposure. We see Canaan homes where the last roofer used continuous L-flashing or just caulked the gap. That always fails. We tear it out and install proper step flashing with a kick-out diverter at the bottom per IRC R905.2.8.3.

Not all storm damage qualifies for a full replacement. Hail might only damage one slope. Wind might only lift shingles on the windward side. We document exactly what's damaged and let the insurance company make the call. Honest documentation gets claims approved. Inflated claims get denied.

New construction underlayment per IRC R905 and ASTM D226 (felt) or ASTM D6757 (synthetic). Ice barrier per ASTM D1970 required at eaves in climate zones with average January temperature below 25°F. We install ice and water shield regardless. It's cheap insurance against ice dams and wind-driven rain. Drip edge per IRC R905.2.8.5 on eave and rake edges. Proper starter strip with factory sealant for wind resistance from day one.

Standing seam metal is the longest-lasting residential roofing material you can install. 40-60 year lifespan, virtually zero maintenance, and it sheds hail and debris better than any shingle. Our Canaan metal crews install residential and commercial standing seam, corrugated, and metal shingle profiles.

Architectural shingles are what we install on 90% of Canaan homes. They're thicker, heavier, and more wind-resistant than the old 3-tab flat shingles. They also look dramatically better. Dimensional profiles that mimic wood shake or slate. Standard architectural shingles carry a 30-year warranty. Premium versions go to 50.

PVC membrane for Canaan restaurants, commercial kitchens, and facilities with rooftop grease exhaust or chemical exposure. PVC resists oils and animal fats that destroy TPO and EPDM membranes. We install IB Roof Systems and Duro-Last PVC with factory-fabricated accessories for watertight penetration details. Built-up roofing (BUR) uses 3 or 4 plies of fiberglass felt in hot asphalt with a gravel or cap sheet surface. Oldest proven flat roof system, with 30+ year service life in New Hampshire. We still install BUR when the application calls for it.

TPO is our most-installed commercial membrane in Canaan. 60-mil thickness, hot-air welded seams, mechanically attached or fully adhered over polyiso insulation. The weld is stronger than the membrane. 15-20 year manufacturer warranties depending on system build-up.

Clogged gutters cause fascia rot, soffit damage, and foundation erosion from concentrated water runoff. That's not a marketing scare tactic. We see the damage on every other gutter replacement in Canaan. Properly sized gutters with adequate downspout capacity move water away from the house. We calculate capacity using rainfall intensity data for Canaan: roof area x pitch factor x rainfall rate in inches per hour. Standard 5" K-style handles 5,520 square feet of effective roof area.

Roof inspections are free for Canaan homeowners. No strings, no obligation to hire us for repairs. If your roof is fine, we say so. If it needs attention, you get an honest assessment of what's going on and what it'll cost to fix.

Emergency protocol for active water intrusion: (1) interior containment. Buckets, plastic sheeting, water extraction if accessible, (2) exterior tarping with 20x30 heavy-duty poly sheeting over damaged area extending minimum 4 feet past damage on all sides, (3) secure with 2x4 nailer boards lag-screwed to the roof deck (not through shingles), (4) secondary tarp overlap for multi-section damage, (5) document with timestamped photos for insurance.
