Disaster Restoration Case Studies: Ansonia, CT Storm Damage and Roof Replacement

This resident of Ansonia had a very old roof that was taking a beating by harsh New England weather. Strong winds damaged several shingles and even removed some from where they’re supposed to be!  And on top of that, the plywood under the old roof was rotted. So the roof wasn’t doing it’s job and it would soon lead to leaks inside the home.

Fortunately for the home owner, a Built Right representative saw the damage and told them about an option they never even considered. Built Right offered to contact their insurance carrier and get them to pay for a new roof; which Built Right would then install themselves. Once the home owner agreed, the team filed the claim for the damage to the roof and got the insurance company to pay for the whole roof! Next the Built Right team got to work on building the new roof. We stripped all the shingles from the old roof and inspected the plywood. It was clear that the plywood also had to be replaced and that's exactly what we did. Then we added felt paper underlayment to prevent further leakage and installed a new roof with Rustic Cedar Tamko shingles.  In addition, we installed ice/water guards, a drip edge, a ridge vent, and used galvanized chimney flashing to make sure the roof is fully protected! The home owner was very thankful to Built Right for the beautiful new roof and helping them save thousands of dollars!
