Family-owned roofing contractor serving New Canaan, CT. Free inspections, honest estimates, and workmanship backed by a warranty.
New Canaan’s housing stock sit in one of the most weather-exposed corners of Connecticut. Fairfield County catches nor’easters rolling up the coast plus the northern edge of most tropical systems that track inland. The bigger issue here is the housing stock: a huge percentage of homes have slate, cedar shake, or architectural shingle roofs over complex multi-gable rooflines with multiple valleys, dormers, and chimney penetrations. Every one of those penetrations is a potential leak point when 70-mph gusts start working on the flashing. We’ve seen every kind of damage these storms cause, and we build every New Canaan roof to handle what’s coming next — not just what happened last year.
New Canaan’s housing stock includes some of the most architecturally demanding roofs in Connecticut:
We’ve replaced, repaired, and inspected roofs in New Canaan Village, Silvermine, and Talmadge Hill — and every neighborhood in between.
“I’m picky. I read every contract, ask a million questions, and second-guess everything. The team at AMP was patient through all of it. The final roof is beautiful and they honored every single thing they quoted me.”
“Family-owned is how they market themselves, and that’s exactly how it felt. I wasn’t just another job. They came back twice to make sure I was happy with everything before we called it done.”
“Every question I had got answered within an hour, sometimes faster. No high-pressure sales pitch, no games. They showed me photos of the damage, walked me through my options, and let me decide. That’s how it should be done.”

Every roof replacement in New Canaan requires a permit, and we pull it for you. Here’s what you should know about how the process works locally:
New Canaan’s Building Department is located at 77 Main Street, New Canaan, CT 06840 ((203) 594-3045).
Connecticut permits are filed directly with the New Canaan building department. We submit applications as a fully licensed CT roofing contractor, and a typical residential roof replacement permit is pulled within 2-5 business days.
Historic district note: If your home is in one of New Canaan’s designated historic districts — New Canaan Historic District and God’s Acre Historic District — additional Historic District Commission review may be required before work can start. We handle this, but lead times are longer. If you live in one of these districts, tell us early so we can plan around it.
A final inspection is required before the job closes out. We coordinate directly with the New Canaan building inspector — you don’t need to be home. Working without a permit in Connecticut carries fines and can void your homeowner’s insurance if there’s ever a claim on that roof. It’s not worth the risk, and we never skip it.
We’ve replaced, repaired, and inspected roofs across every corner of New Canaan. Our New Canaan work stretches from New Canaan Village, Silvermine, and Talmadge Hill, out to neighborhoods near Waveny Park, Philip Johnson Glass House, and New Canaan Nature Center, and along the Main Street, Elm Street, and Smith Ridge Road corridor. During storm events we dispatch New Canaan emergency response within 2-4 hours, and we handle temporary protection so water stops getting in while permanent repairs are scheduled.
Roof replacement costs in New Canaan typically range from $8,000 to $25,000+ depending on size, pitch, material choice, tear-off requirements, and any decking or flashing repairs needed. Most New Canaan homeowners end up in the $12,000-$18,000 range for a standard asphalt shingle replacement. Complex rooflines, premium materials, and larger homes push it higher. We offer free, no-obligation inspections and written estimates for every New Canaan project — no pressure, no sales gimmicks.
Yes. New Canaan requires a building permit for any roof replacement that removes the existing shingles, and Connecticut code requires a final inspection before the job can close out. AMP Roofing handles the full permit process for every New Canaan project — we file it, track it, and schedule the final inspection directly with the New Canaan building department.
Most residential roof replacements in New Canaan are completed in 1-2 days from tear-off to final cleanup. Larger homes with complex rooflines, steep pitches, or multiple layers of old shingles can take 3-4 days. We schedule every New Canaan job around the weather and we never leave a roof exposed overnight. Every project ends with a full magnetic sweep of the yard and driveway for nails, and a final walkthrough with the homeowner.
Most homeowner’s insurance policies cover wind, hail, and storm damage to roofs, but the claim process can be complicated. New Canaan homes take their share of weather, and we handle insurance claims as a core part of our business — from documenting damage with drone inspections and detailed reports, to working directly with your adjuster, to performing the repair or replacement to code. If you suspect storm damage, call us for a free inspection before you file — it matters how the claim is documented.
Every New Canaan roof we install is backed by both a manufacturer warranty on the materials (GAF Timberline HDZ shingles carry a lifetime limited warranty) and a workmanship warranty from AMP Roofing. Because we’re a GAF-certified contractor, we can also offer extended GAF system warranties on qualifying projects — coverage that goes well beyond a standard shingle warranty. We’ll walk you through the warranty options during your New Canaan estimate.
No pressure, no sales gimmicks. Just an honest assessment of your roof’s condition and straightforward next steps.
