Roofing in New Canaan, CT
New Canaan publishes something almost no Connecticut town does, which is a roofing permit application of its own. It asks for roof pitch, covering type, whether the existing covering comes off, how many layers are up there now, whether the deck gets replaced, and whether the roof is ventilated to IRC section R806.
The same form requires ice and water shield inspections before anything covers them, asks how many courses you are installing, and states that for wood roofs the nails shall be stainless steel type 316 only. It also notes that drip edge became a requirement here effective October 1, 2016. A form that specific tells you what the inspector will actually look at.
There is a second half for flat and low pitch work at three inches of pitch or less, which asks for rafter size, span and spacing, whether a parapet exists, the number and size of roof drains, whether there is a secondary emergency drain, and the R value of the insulation going in.
Scott Becker is the building official, working out of 77 Main Street. The town's own permit application also asks whether the property sits in the Historic District, and if it does, a certificate of appropriateness from the Historic Commission has to arrive with the application rather than after it. The same page asks the contractor for a Connecticut license or registration number.
One practical note on finding the department at all. The registered domain newcanaanct.gov resolves but does not answer on the web, and the town's live site is newcanaan.info. That trips people up when they are trying to download a form the night before a tear off.
On October 2, 2018 an EF1 tornado began near Weed Street and Marshall Ridge Road here and lifted near Scribner Avenue and Orlando Road in Norwalk, with fifty thousand dollars of property damage recorded. Inch diameter hail fell the same day. That storm is the reason we are careful about the difference between wind damage and impact damage on this side of town.
Median year built is 1967, median home value is 1,611,900 dollars, and 62 percent of households burn oil rather than gas. Large houses carrying high dwelling limits are exactly where a percentage wind deductible turns a modest repair into a bill you end up paying yourself, and we would rather you learn that from us than from an adjuster.

Roofing work we do in New Canaan, CT
Norwalk Roof Pros covers the same range of work in New Canaan that we do in Norwalk — nothing is carved out because the address is a few miles up the road:
- Storm Damage Restoration — Storm work here runs on a clock, and that clock is written in hours rather than weeks. Connecticut ties the hurricane deductible to a window that opens with a National Hurricane Center warning and closes twenty-four hours after the last warning ends or the storm is downgraded.
- Tile Roofing — We will start by talking you out of it, which is unusual on a page like this one. New tile roofs make very little sense in southwestern Connecticut, and the handful of houses in town that carry them mostly inherited them from an architect with a Mediterranean idea.
- Wind Damage Roofing — This is the page where we will probably tell you not to file, and we would rather say it here than after you have already called your carrier and started a file that follows the address around for years. Run the arithmetic first.
- Residential Roof Installation — This is new work. A house in frame, an addition, a dormer, a garage or an accessory dwelling, or a deck going back to bare sheathing because the wood is being replaced.
- Commercial Roof Installation — Commercial work here means the office parks along the Route 7 corridor, the retail and mixed-use blocks near the harbor, and a very large stock of condominium and apartment buildings whose roofs belong to an association rather than to any one owner. All three need different roofs.
- Roof Replacement — A full replacement here is a wind job first and a water job second. The Sound shore takes long-duration tropical wind two or three times a decade, and the assembly that survives it is the one fastened properly, not merely covered over.

About New Canaan, CT — and why local matters here
New Canaan sits in Fairfield County with a population of roughly 20,622, close enough to Norwalk that crews move between the two constantly. Local landmarks and corridors residents know well include the New Canaan Nature Center, Route 124 through the village.
Local knowledge is not a marketing line here. New Canaan properties share soil, weather, permit rules and construction eras with the rest of Fairfield County, and a roofing contractor who works the area weekly already knows what fails locally and what holds up. That is the difference between a bid and an accurate bid.
