Roof Replacement / New Roof in Hartford, CT
A full roof replacement with Landmark Ridge Roofing begins with complete tear-off of the existing shingle system, followed by a thorough inspection of the underlying decking for soft spots, rot, or fastener failure that patching would have hidden. We install code-compliant underlayment and ice-and-water shield per Connecticut building code requirements before any finish material goes down — because what's under the shingles matters as much as what's on top. Every replacement project is permitted through Hartford's Department of Development Services and closes with a final inspection, giving you a documented, code-compliant system backed by both manufacturer material warranties and our workmanship guarantee.

Connecticut Regulations for This Project Type
- A building permit is required in Hartford for all roof replacement and re-roofing projects — this is non-negotiable under the Connecticut State Building Code, which requires permits for any re-roofing, re-covering, or full roof replacement
- Hartford permits are processed through the Department of Development Services, Licenses & Inspections at 260 Constitution Plaza; applications can be submitted in person or through the city's permit workflow — confirm current online submission options with the department directly
- Any contractor performing roofing work in Connecticut must be registered as a Home Improvement Contractor (HIC) with the CT Department of Consumer Protection under CGS Section 20-419 — always verify your contractor's registration number before signing a contract
- Permit fees in Hartford are generally calculated as a percentage of project value; one source cited a range of roughly $150–$300 for residential roofing permits, but fees change — confirm the current schedule with the building department before your project starts
- Hartford's code is based on the 2021 International Residential Code with Connecticut amendments; if your home is in a historic district, additional review may apply — call the department at (860) 757-9200 to confirm any special requirements for your address
