Local Roofing Considerations

The heavy snows are the main roofing story in Cheshire. The snow piles up on the roofs all winter, and the shaded-eave ice dams form along the eaves when the warm attic melts the snow from above. The backed-up melt pushes the water up under the shingles, which is why the ice-dam protection and the attic ventilation matter so much here.

The freeze-thaw cycles in late winter and early spring are the second factor. The temperature swings stress the flashing, the seals, and the shingle edges, and the nor’easters bring the wind and the rain that find the weak spots. Most of the storm claims in the county follow a nor’easter event.

The humid summers round out the year. The humidity supports the algae and the moss on the shaded north slopes, and the warmth accelerates the aging of the asphalt. The housing in Cheshire — historic town with well-established neighborhoods, a mix of historic homes and newer subdivisions, and one of the state’s most sought-after school systems — sits under that full range of weather, and the roofs have to be built to match. The Cheshire Historic District, Bartlem Park, and the Cheshire Community Pool are all part of the local scene.
