Roofing in Groton, Connecticut

Groton is a coastal town on the Thames River and home of the U.S. Navy Submarine Base, with a mix of historic waterfront and suburban housing in a working- and middle-class community. The climate is a mix of cold, snowy winters with ice dams, freeze-thaw cycles that stress the flashing, humid summers that feed algae and moss on the north slopes, and nor’easters that bring wind and rain. Roofing in Groton means roofs built for New England weather – and, in a coastal town like Groton, for the salt air that eats at the fasteners.

Local Roofing Considerations

The winters are the first story. The snow sits on the roof, the attic heat melts it from above, and the water refreezes at the cold eaves to form ice dams. The dams back the water up under the shingles and cause the leaks that show up in the spring. The freeze-thaw cycles then stress the flashing and the seals at the chimney, the valleys, and the skylights.

The summers are the second factor. The humidity supports the algae and the moss on the north slopes, and the growth holds the moisture against the shingles. The salt air from Long Island Sound is the third factor – it corrodes the flashing and the fasteners, so the coastal-grade materials matter here.

The housing stock reflects the history of the town. The asphalt shingle is the dominant roofing material, with the architectural shingle the standard on most of the homes.
