There are 100s of Roofing Contractors in CT and many are just a couple of guys and a truck trying to make some money.  Roofing is an important improvement, there is allot that go wrong if you hire the wrong company.

Face it, roofs leak. There is a proper way to prep the roof and to make sure it is properly flashed and nailed. There are ventilation details that need to be installed such as a ridge vent.
 
Don't think that just because a roofing contractor says he can install a new roof for you that they are going to do the job correctly. There are so many factors you have to consider.

Roofing Installation is an industry that does not require allot of skill to do as far as removal of the roofing and the actual installation of the shingles.

This is a repetitive mindless task that requires more browne than brain.  That being said, there are parts of the process that requires allot of skill and careful preparation. This is where the problem lies. Someone who has worked on a roofing crew for a while thinks they can now go out and become a Roofing Contractor.

  Sure they can buy some tools and get a license, you can bet they will not buy the proper workman's comp insurance sine this will cost them up to 50% of there payroll. So they hire some worker for the day and pay them under the table and hope no one falls of the roof.
