Roofing & Shingles

We have access to all roofing shingles and products, but over the years we have identified certain manufacturers that prove to be superior. Some of our favorite roofing manufacturers include Certainteed and GAF. We use primarily architectural shingles (also known as laminated shingles) because of the benefit one receives versus standard three-tab or strip shingles. Architectural shingles have become very popular in the past 15 years, and there is a small difference in price between three tab shingles and architectural shingles—about $300 on the average home. In addition, architectural shingles have a more attractive profile that looks more like real wood shakes or slate. There’s more to a roof than just the roofing shingles. Using proper underlayments and accessories is crucial to a quality roof system–without them, your roof may not last very long.

Connecticut Roofing

Here at Phoenician Home Improvement we are committed to going the extra mile when it comes to completing the installation of a new roof on your home. Many roofing contractors cut corners on accessories because it saves them lots of money on the job, and for the most part, most homeowners would not know that anything is missing. Common things that are left out are rake edging, ice and water barriers, a starter shingle drip course, new aluminum vent pipe flashing, new step flashing, proper soffit vents, ridgevents, and sometimes even felt paper. As one notices, there are many extras that can easily be left out. Any one of these accessories, if left out, can result in major leaks and seriously jeopardize the integrity of your new roof. Also, many roofing manufactures will not warranty roofs that are missing some of these key elements.

Free In-Home Consultation

Our goal at Phoenician Home Improvement is to install a roofing system that is complete with all of the necessary accessories that will make it last. We recommend products that possess the greatest value for your dollars. Many roofing contractors are concerned with being the cheapest—we’re most concerned with doing the job properly according to manufacturer’s specification.

Tony’s crew was terrific! They replaced several windows for me at an incredibly reasonable price. They were thorough, efficient, and cleaned- up as though they hadn’t even been there. I would highly recommend!

I’m a first-time homeowner and needed to replace the shingles on the roof along with updating the gutters to the no-clog type, along with replacing one of the skylights. I got several bids and amongst them was Phoenician Home Improvement. I decided to choose Phoenician based upon the cost estimate and most notably, the results my neighbor received after having similar updates to their house at the start of the summer. The estimate was very detailed as it specified what would occur, such as filing for the construction permit, putting a debris waste bin in the driveway and which products would be used ie the Velux skylight, etc. As a first-time homeowner I had a lot of questions about the process that Tony from PHI answered quickly, which my confidence that I had chosen the right company to do the job. When it came time for the work to begin, the shrubs were covered with a “netting” as not to disturb any of my so-called gardening efforts from falling debris. The original shingles were removed by roughly mid-day and the roof was completely shingled by the end of that same day! Tony’s team worked tirelessly picking up all of the debris and the final product looks sensational! A few days later, due to rain issues the gutters were installed and they too, look great AND have handled these monstrous rains we’ve had lately, with ease. The solar skylight that was installed…big wow!!!... a huge improvement from what was originally installed circa 1985!! I’m very happy with the work that Phoenician Home Improvement has done on my house and I have already recommended Tony and his team to two of my neighbors. I have a few other home improvements planned and I will invest my time in asking PHI to do the work because based upon my experience, they will help keep my home a solid investment. Thanks PHI! -Karl (Bristol 09/2023)

Tony and his crew were very professional and made sure everything was completed on time and all trash/debris was cleaned up. The construction work was quality and the price reasonable. The only issue I had was with my patio table not being put back on the deck before the railings were built I can't do that by myself. I would definitely recommend Phoenician to other to have work done and will use them again.

They replaced my old rotting wooden deck with Trex, and the final product is beautiful. They always showed up on time, worked hard throughout the day, and were very responsive to any communications I had with them via email in scheduling and coordinating the project. I would recommend them to anyone, they did a great job and were very easy to work with.
