Stamford Roof Pros provides professional asphalt shingle roofs in Stamford, CT for residential and commercial properties across lower Fairfield County. Asphalt covers most of the housing that surrounds this city's office core. Capes and Colonials in Belltown, Turn of River and Newfield, split-levels from the sixties, and the small multifamily buildings that fill the blocks between the harbour and the Merritt Parkway.
Connecticut's eave detail is the part that separates a good shingle roof here from a mediocre one. The state code calls for an ice barrier of two cemented layers of underlayment or a self-adhering polymer-modified bitumen sheet, running from the lowest roof edge to at least two feet inside the exterior wall line. On a low-pitch roof with deep overhangs that means two courses, not one.
Fastening is the other half. Nails go in the double-thickness nailing zone, driven flush and not overdriven through the mat, six per shingle on exposed elevations, with the exposure held to the manufacturer's line rather than stretched to save a bundle. An overdriven nail is invisible from the ground and is the reason a five-year-old roof loses tabs. We set gun pressure at the start of each slope and check it against a hand-driven sample.
Shingles want intake and exhaust working together or the warranty gets thin. We pair a cut ridge vent with clear soffit intake and, on the many houses here whose insulation was blown in tight against the eave, add baffles so the intake path actually exists. A ridge vent with no intake pulls its air from the house. That is how a warm attic becomes frost on the sheathing every February.
There is a real case for a plain three-tab, and it is usually a small rental building. On a four-unit that stays inside Connecticut's home improvement definition, a three-tab over a sound deck at a fraction of the laminated price is a defensible decision for an owner running a number, and we will quote it without a lecture. On a building being held twenty years, the laminated shingle wins on cost per year.
What we will not do is put asphalt on a roof that cannot carry it. Under three in twelve the laps are not reliable, so a shallow porch or an addition deck gets membrane instead, whatever the rest of the house wears. Mixing the two properly at the transition is more work than shingling straight across and it is the difference between a roof and a leak.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — hot-air welded 80 mil TPO and PVC single ply, tapered polyisocyanurate board over a steel deck, ANSI/SPRI ES-1 rated perimeter edge metal, self-adhering polymer-modified bitumen ice barrier, laminated architectural shingles rated to ASTM D3462, high-density cover board between insulation and membrane — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Stamford and nearby communities including Greenwich, Cos Cob, Riverside, Old Greenwich.

Materials, equipment and how we do asphalt shingle roofs
The difference between asphalt shingle roofs that lasts and asphalt shingle roofs that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with hot-air welded 80 mil TPO and PVC single ply, tapered polyisocyanurate board over a steel deck, ANSI/SPRI ES-1 rated perimeter edge metal, self-adhering polymer-modified bitumen ice barrier, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Stamford job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. Years of roofing work in lower Fairfield County means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Stamford Chooses Stamford Roof Pros
- ✓We tell you which side of Connecticut's six-unit line your building falls on before we quote it, because it decides your contract terms, your cancellation rights and what recourse you actually have.
- ✓Ask any roofer here for a registration number. The statute requires it in advertising and on the contract, and a home improvement contract missing it is not enforceable against you.
- ✓Commercial membrane is our weekday work, not a sideline. That is why the flashing and drainage detailing on our shingle jobs looks the way it does.
- ✓We take core cuts before recommending a coating or a recover, and we hand you the wet insulation rather than describing it in a proposal.
