We are Roofing Contractors Serving Fairfield & New Haven County, CT | Marut Home Improvement

Your roof is one of the most important structural components of your home. When it begins to fail, it can lead to leaks, insulation problems, and costly interior damage.

At Marut Home Improvement, we provide professional roofing services designed to protect homes throughout Fairfield County and New Haven County Connecticut.

Our team installs durable roofing systems designed to withstand harsh winters, heavy rain, and seasonal temperature fluctuations common in the Northeast.

Your Roof Is Your Home's First Line of Defense

Connecticut homeowners face some of the most demanding weather in the Northeast — heavy snow loads, ice dams, nor’easters, and summer heat cycles. A properly installed roof protects everything beneath it. Ignoring early warning signs can turn a small repair into a $30,000+ replacement.

🌨️  Built for CT Winters

Ice dams, freeze-thaw cycles, and heavy snow loads put enormous stress on your roof every winter. The right material and proper installation make the difference between a roof that lasts 30 years and one that fails in 10.

💧  Stop Leaks Before They Start

Water intrusion is the leading cause of interior structural damage in Connecticut homes. A compromised roof leads to mold, rot, and damaged insulation — all of which cost far more to fix than the roof itself.

📈  Protects Your Home’s Value

A new roof is one of the top ROI home improvements. It increases curb appeal, satisfies home inspectors, and gives buyers confidence. Homes with aging roofs sell for less and sit on the market longer.

⚡  Improves Energy Efficiency

A properly ventilated and insulated roof reduces heat loss in winter and heat gain in summer — directly lowering your heating and cooling bills year-round.

Our Roofing Services

From full roof replacements to targeted repairs and skylight installations, we handle every aspect of your roofing project — including all Connecticut building permits and inspections.

Roof Replacement

Full tear-off and replacement of your existing roof. We remove all old materials down to the decking, inspect and repair any underlying damage, then install your new roofing system with proper underlayment, flashing, and ventilation. The most common and comprehensive roofing service we provide.

Roof Repair

Not every roof issue requires a full replacement. If damage is limited — a few missing shingles, a small leak around flashing, or a storm-damaged section — a targeted repair can extend your roof's life for years at a fraction of the cost. We'll give you an honest assessment during your free inspection.

Skylights

Properly installed skylights add natural light and increase home value without compromising your roof's integrity. We install and replace skylights of all sizes, ensuring watertight seals and correct flashing to prevent leaks — the most common cause of skylight failure.

Roof Inspection & Assessment

Not sure if your roof needs a repair or a full replacement? We offer free on-site inspections and provide honest, written recommendations. No scare tactics — just a straightforward assessment of your roof's condition and your options.

Roofing Material Options for Connecticut Homes

The right material depends on your home's style, budget, and how long you plan to stay. Here's how each option performs in Connecticut's climate — from our harsh winters to humid summers.

Metal Roofing

Metal roofing is the premium long-term investment. Standing seam metal roofs offer exceptional durability, energy efficiency, and a modern aesthetic that's increasingly popular on Connecticut homes. The higher upfront cost is offset by a dramatically longer lifespan and near-zero maintenance. Key Benefits: • 40–70 year lifespan — often outlasts the home • Snow and ice shed naturally off the smooth surface • Reflects solar heat — reduces summer cooling costs • Withstands winds over 140 mph • Environmentally friendly — 100% recyclable

Cedar Shake Roofing

Cedar shake delivers a timeless, natural look that's popular on colonial and craftsman-style Connecticut homes. Each shake is hand-split from western red cedar, giving roofs a distinctive texture and warm tone that ages beautifully. Cedar provides natural insulation and is biodegradable. Key Benefits: • Rich, natural aesthetic — enhances curb appeal significantly • Natural insulating properties — reduces heating costs • Naturally resistant to insects and rot when maintained • 30–40 year lifespan with proper care • Sustainable and biodegradable material

flat roofs

Flat & Low-Slope Roofing

For sections of your home with a flat or low-slope roof — common on additions, garages, and some modern home designs — we install EPDM rubber membrane or TPO systems. These materials are specifically engineered for flat surfaces where traditional shingles cannot be used. Key Benefits: • Purpose-built for flat and low-slope applications • EPDM offers excellent flexibility in cold CT winters • Highly resistant to UV, ozone, and weathering • Low maintenance and easy to repair • 20–30 year lifespan with proper installation

Our Clients Testimonials

Chris and his team were great - Chris was very responsive throughout the project and they had the most reasonable quote out of about 6-7 companies I contacted. They performed a whole house siding job, and installed new gutters. Before (white) and after (blue) pictures included.
Chris was great to work with and did a fantastic job on our home’s gutters and replacement of rotting siding. He tackled some complications and challenges that our reproduction Cape presented him with ease and creative solutions, including having to cut and router several siding pieces to match existing which was no longer available in that size. He even returned on a Sunday to finish the job! Couldn’t be happier with the results. Without hesitation, I recommend Marut Home Improvement for any project you may be considering. Chris is that good!
We live in an antique reproduction home situated on a very treed piece of property. Over the years some of the wooden siding had gotten a little punky and needed to be replaced. The antique look of this house is very important to us, and Chris of Marut Home Improvement completely understood the look we were going for with the repairs. This project was not without its challenges, but Chris completed the work with precision, on time and on budget. When problems arose as they do with older homes, he explained different options so we could find a solution everyone was happy with. We also had gutters installed by Chris in a way that they will ultimately "disappear" and blend in with the rest of the house. He graciously fit us in to his schedule so our home will be Holiday ready. I recommend Chris Marut for your next Home Improvement project!
Chris did a great job fixing our gutters, adding leaf guards, and fixed some damaged siding. Pricing is reasonable and was great at getting back to us/communicating by text which makes everything easier. Will definitely work with him again on future home improvement projects.
Chris and his team completed the siding on my house last Summer and completely transformed our home. 5 Stars. He and his team were very respectful, neat, and efficient as the job was completed in just a few weeks. They even removed a small deck and closed off a wall unit AC all for a very reasonable price. I have recommended Marut Home Improvement to lots of my family and friends!

Roofing FAQ

How do I know if my roof needs to be replaced?

Common signs that your roof may need replacement include missing or curling shingles, frequent leaks, granules in gutters, sagging areas, or visible damage after storms. If your roof is over 20–25 years old, it’s a good idea to have a professional inspection to determine whether repairs or a full replacement is the best option.

How long does a roof replacement take?

Most residential roof replacements take 1–2 days, depending on the size of the home, roof complexity, and weather conditions. Larger homes or roofs with multiple layers may take longer, but experienced crews work efficiently to minimize disruption.

What roofing materials do you install?

We install high-quality asphalt shingle roofing systems, which are the most popular and cost-effective option for homeowners. We work with trusted manufacturers to ensure durability, weather resistance, and long-lasting performance. We also install metal roofs and cedar roofs for modern and traditional appearance.

How much does a new roof cost in Connecticut?

Roof replacement costs vary depending on the size of the roof, material choice, ventilation requirements, and structural condition. Most homeowners in Fairfield and New Haven Counties invest in a new roof to protect their home and improve long-term property value. We provide detailed estimates so you understand the full scope of the project.

Do you offer roof inspections?

Yes. Professional roof inspections help identify leaks, storm damage, worn shingles, and ventilation issues. Regular inspections can extend the life of your roof and prevent small problems from turning into costly repairs.

Can you repair my roof instead of replacing it?

In many cases, roof repairs are possible if the damage is localized or the roof still has useful life remaining. However, if the roof is older or has widespread damage, replacement may be the more cost-effective long-term solution.

Do you provide roofing services in my area?

Marut Home Improvement proudly provides roofing services to homeowners throughout Fairfield County and New Haven County, Connecticut, including towns like Milford, Orange, Stratford, Fairfield, West Haven, and surrounding communities.

Will a new roof improve my home’s energy efficiency?

Yes. A properly installed roofing system with adequate ventilation and insulation can help regulate attic temperatures, reduce energy loss, and improve overall energy efficiency.

What happens if you find damage under the shingles?

During roof replacement, we inspect the roof decking. If we find rotted or damaged plywood, it will be replaced to ensure the roof structure is solid before installing the new roofing system.

Is a roofing permit required in Connecticut?

Yes, most municipalities require a building permit for roof replacement. A professional roofing contractor will handle the permitting process and ensure the work meets local building codes.
