What Our Customers Say
"A nor'easter ripped shingles off the front slope of our house and water was coming in through the attic. West Hartford Roofing had a crew here within two hours to tarp the damage and walked us through every step of the insurance claim. The new roof looks fantastic."
"Our 1950s Cape Cod needed a complete tear-off. They flew a drone over the roof first to show us exactly where the decking had deteriorated, then gave us an itemized quote the same day. The crew finished in two days and ran a magnetic sweep across the whole yard afterward."
"We had a slow drip behind the kitchen wall that three other contractors missed. Their thermal camera found it at a deteriorated valley flashing joint in under half an hour. Permanent fix was done the same afternoon."

Roofing Specialists in the Design District
West Hartford's Design District along New Park Avenue is a rapidly evolving corridor of light industrial buildings, home design showrooms, auto repair shops, breweries, and an increasing number of modern multi-family transit-oriented developments. The roofing here is overwhelmingly commercial: flat roof systems on single-story industrial and retail buildings that need regular maintenance, periodic coating, and eventually full membrane replacement.
Many of the older warehouse and industrial roofs in this district were built with minimal insulation and outdated drainage. As these spaces are converted to modern retail, office, or residential use through the town's redevelopment initiatives, the roof system needs to be upgraded to meet current energy standards and building code requirements. We install new TPO and EPDM membranes, apply elastomeric coatings to extend the life of serviceable existing roofs, and add insulation layers during reroof projects to bring older structures into compliance. Metal roofing is another common request for the auto and industrial properties along Shield Street and Flatbush Avenue.
The transit-oriented apartments going up near the CTfastrak station represent the district's newest construction, but even new buildings in Connecticut face the region's aggressive freeze-thaw cycles. We provide post-construction roof inspections for developers, verify warranty compliance on recently installed systems, and handle any punch-list items related to flashing and drainage. For building owners across the Design District, we offer the same transparent pricing and documented estimates that our residential clients in West Hartford receive.

Design District Roofing Questions
Can you upgrade an old warehouse roof to meet current energy codes? ▼
Yes. When an industrial building is being converted to retail or office space, we add insulation layers and install new membrane systems that meet the Connecticut State Building Code's current energy requirements. This work is standard for the adaptive reuse projects happening along New Park Avenue.
What is elastomeric roof coating and when does it make sense? ▼
Elastomeric coating is a liquid-applied membrane that seals and waterproofs an existing flat roof. It makes sense when the underlying roof structure is still sound but the surface has weathered. It extends roof life by 10 to 15 years at a fraction of full replacement cost.
Do you install metal roofing on commercial buildings? ▼
We do. Standing seam and exposed fastener metal roofing systems are popular for auto shops and industrial buildings in this corridor. Metal roofs handle the snow loads well and last significantly longer than standard membrane systems in Connecticut's climate.
Can you inspect a newly built roof for warranty compliance? ▼
Yes. We perform post-construction roof inspections for developers and building owners to verify that installation meets manufacturer specifications and local code. Any punch-list issues with flashing, drainage, or membrane seams are documented and addressed.
