Category 01 · For homeowners

Price it, verify it, diagnose it — before anyone knocks

Category 02 · For contractors & builders

Category 03 · For commercial & facility managers

  • Square footage driven tear-off vs. restoration comparison
  • Capital savings and added service life side by side
  • Output suitable for an ownership capital request

System & budget selector

Homeowners · Storm verification

Connecticut storm & severe weather checker

Match your town to recorded hail, high-wind and ice-dam activity across the five counties we serve, then see which damage patterns those events typically leave behind.

Connecticut storm & wind checker

Check recent severe weather at your address

Connecticut policies typically give you 12 months from the date of loss to file a storm claim. Document the damage now — once a season passes, carriers routinely deny late wind and hail claims.

Homeowners · Structural diagnostics

Repair vs. replace diagnostic quiz

Answer a handful of questions about age, granule loss, leaks, decking and prior layers. The score is objective — plenty of roofs come back as a repair, and we will tell you so.

Repair vs. replace diagnostic

Four taps for a straight answer

1. How old is the roof?

2. What's the main symptom?

3. Is water reaching the attic or drywall?

4. Has it been repaired before?

0 of 4 answered — your risk score appears as soon as all four are tapped.

Coating & restoration ROI calculator

Restoring a sound but weathered membrane instead of tearing it off routinely preserves up to half the capital budget. Model your building's numbers and take the output to ownership.

Restoration vs. tear-off, on your square footage

Connecticut planning ranges for budgeting only — a real number comes after the core samples and moisture survey.

Renewable warranty term

Restoration is generally expensed in the year of work under Section 179 rather than depreciated over 39 years like a replacement — confirm treatment with your tax advisor. It only applies where the insulation is dry, and we will say so if it is not.

Commercial · System & budget

Membrane system & budget selector

Compare TPO 60-mil, EPDM, PVC and fluid-applied coating across 10,000 to 150,000+ square feet by facility type, with the Connecticut energy code R-30 continuous insulation allowance included or excluded, and see the warranty term and maintenance schedule each system carries.

Commercial · Structural diagnostics

Flat roof ponding & drainage risk diagnostic

Standing water weighs roughly 5.2 pounds per square foot for every inch of depth, and a deck that deflects under it ponds deeper next time. Enter your depths and low spots to see the load, the risk score and whether tapered polyiso or added drains is the fix.

Structural diagnostics

Flat roof ponding & drainage risk diagnostic

Measure the water your deck is actually carrying and score the structural risk before the next heavy rain.

Water weight

7.8 lb / sqft

Total load on the deck

4,680 lb

Risk score

6 / 15 · Moderate risk

Ponding at this depth shortens membrane life and stresses seams long before it threatens the structure. Correct the drainage on the next capital cycle.

  • Tapered polyiso crickets between drains at the low spots
  • Drain sump and strainer rebuild, clear all internal lines
  • Seam and flashing inspection inside every ponded area
  • Twice-yearly maintenance with post-storm drain clearing
Book a drainage & deflection audit

Guidance only. Deflection and load capacity are confirmed on site, and a structural engineer is engaged whenever the deck itself is in question.
