What is different about roof repair in Connecticut

Older housing stock means knob-and-tube, asbestos and undersized services surface constantly; budget for discovery work that newer-stock states rarely hit.

Owner-builder: Homeowners may permit work on a single-family home they occupy. Roof Repair generally requires a licensed contractor to pull the permit, even where owner-builder status is available.
