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:
- Skylights — We install skylights and we also spend a fair amount of time persuading people not to add one, particularly on an exposed slope near the water. A skylight is a deliberate opening in the water plane with glazing set into it, and every argument about them starts right there.
- Fascia & Soffit — Soffit is where wind gets into a house, and it is worth understanding why. Pressure builds under an overhang during a storm, a panel lets go, and now the wind is inside the attic pushing upward on a deck designed only to resist being pulled from above.
- Chimney Flashing — The chimney is the leak. If you have one unexplained stain on a ceiling and a masonry chimney passing through the roof anywhere above it, that is the first place we look, and we turn out to be right most of the time.
- Commercial Roofing — 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.
- Insurance Claim Help — Read the endorsement, not the label. That one habit is worth more than everything else on this page, because the word your policy uses to trigger a deductible decides how much of your own money the identical damage ends up costing you.
- 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.
