Roof Installation in Norwalk, CT — Done Right the First Time, Every Time
Request an Estimate
Not all roof installations are created equal. The difference between a roof that lasts 15 years and one that lasts 30 comes down to the quality of the materials, the precision of the installation, and the integrity of the contractor. At Melchor Roofing we have been getting it right for over 25 years across Norwalk and Fairfield County. Family owned, fully licensed, contractor-grade materials on every job, and a 10-Year Labor Guarantee that proves we stand behind our work long after we leave your driveway.
Our Roof Installation Process in Norwalk, CT & Fairfield County
We believe that a smooth, stress-free roof installation starts with clear communication and a process you can count on. Here is exactly what happens from your first call to your final walkthrough.
1)
Initial Contact & Free Inspection
The moment you reach out to Melchor Roofing, Alejandro will call you back personally to discuss your situation and schedule your free roof inspection. During the inspection we get on your roof, assess the condition thoroughly, check all layers, flashing, gutters, and decking, and use satellite measurements for precise square footage calculations. The inspection takes between 30 minutes and one hour depending on the size and complexity of your roof.
2)
Estimate Sent & Presented
Within 1 to 3 days of your inspection you will receive a detailed written estimate outlining exactly what we recommend, what materials will be used, and the total cost broken down clearly by line item. We walk you through every detail of the estimate and answer any questions you have. There is never any pressure — we want you to feel completely confident before making any decision.
3)
Shingle Colors & Options
Once you are ready to move forward we work with you to select your shingle color and style. We offer a range of architectural dimensional shingles in popular colors including Charcoal, Weathered Wood, Pewter Gray, Driftwood, and more. We bring samples directly to you so you can see exactly how each color looks against your home's exterior before making your final selection.
4)
Scheduling & Material Preparation
After your color selection is confirmed and your 50% deposit is received we secure your project date and order all materials. We communicate your scheduled start date clearly and keep you updated on any changes due to weather or material lead times. We respect your time and your schedule — and we always give you as much advance notice as possible.
5)
Roof Installation
On installation day our experienced crew arrives on time and gets to work immediately. We begin with a full tear-off of your existing roofing materials down to the deck, inspect all decking for damage or rot, install new synthetic underlayment, drip edge, pipe boots, flashing, and then your new architectural shingles. We work efficiently and professionally — most residential roof installations are completed in one day to one week depending on the size and complexity of your roof.
6)
Full Cleanup
When the installation is complete our team performs a thorough cleanup of your entire property. All debris is collected and disposed of in our on-site dumpster. We perform a full magnetic nail sweep of all work areas and surrounding property to collect any nails or fasteners. Your property is left completely clean and broom-swept — we do not consider a job done until your home looks exactly as it did before we arrived, just with a brand new roof.
7)
Warranty & Follow Up
After your final walkthrough and balance payment we provide you with all warranty documentation including your 25-Year Labor Guarantee from Melchor Roofing and your 30-Year Limited Manufacturer Warranty card transferred directly to you as the homeowner. We follow up after every installation to make sure you are completely satisfied with the result. Your relationship with Melchor Roofing does not end when the job is done — we are always here if you need us.
From the moment you call us to the moment we hand you your warranty — every step of our process is designed to give you complete confidence that your roof was installed right and that we will be here if you ever need us." — Alejandro Melchor, Melchor Roofing
Total Ice & Water Shield Installation
Most roofing contractors install ice and water shield only at the eaves as required by code. At Melchor Roofing we install total ice and water shield coverage across the entire roof deck — not just the edges. This creates a completely waterproof barrier beneath your shingles that protects your entire roof from water intrusion, ice dams, and wind-driven rain. It is the single most important upgrade you can make to a roof installation — and it is standard on every job we do.
Our In-House Team — No Subcontractors
When you hire Melchor Roofing the team that shows up to install your roof is our team — not a subcontractor, not a crew we hired for the day. Every member of our installation team is trained, experienced, and held to the same standard of quality that Ezequiel Melchor built this company on. We never outsource your job to unknown crews because your roof is too important to leave in the hands of someone we cannot vouch for personally.
Contractor-Grade Materials or Better
Every material we install meets or exceeds manufacturer specifications and Connecticut building code requirements. We never substitute inferior materials to cut costs — because the quality of your roof depends entirely on the quality of what goes into it.
No Additional Work Without Your Approval
If we discover damaged decking or any unexpected issues during tear-off we stop, document it with photos, and present it to you for approval before proceeding. You are never surprised by additional charges — every add-on requires your explicit approval first.
What Makes Our Roof Installation Different
Total ice and water shield, wrapped fascia protection, our own in-house team, and constant oversight on every job — these are not upgrades at Melchor Roofing. They are our standard." — Alejandro Melchor, Melchor Roofing
There are a lot of roofing contractors in Fairfield County. What sets Melchor Roofing apart is not just what we install — it is how we install it, what we install it with, and how we treat you throughout the entire process. Here is what makes every Melchor Roofing installation different from the rest.
Fascia Protection — Full Ice & Water Shield Wrap
We go one step further than total deck coverage — we wrap the ice and water shield around and over your fascia boards on every installation. This critical detail seals the most vulnerable edge of your roof completely, preventing water from ever reaching your fascia, soffit, or the structure behind it. Most contractors never do this. At Melchor Roofing it is standard on every single roof we install — because we know that water finds every gap, and we make sure there are none.
Constant Oversight on Every Job
When you hire Melchor Roofing the team that shows up to install your roof is our team — not a subcontractor, not a crew we hired for the day. Every member of our installation team is trained, experienced, and held to the same standard of quality that Ezequiel Melchor built this company on. We never outsource your job to unknown crews because your roof is too important to leave in the hands of someone we cannot vouch for personally.
Satellite Measurements for Precision
We use satellite measurement technology to calculate the precise square footage of your roof before every installation. This means your estimate is accurate, your materials are ordered correctly, and there are no surprises on installation day.
A Family That Stands Behind Every Job
When Melchor Roofing puts its name on your roof it means something. We are a local family that lives and works in Fairfield County — our reputation is everything to us. Every installation we complete is one we are proud to put our name on.

Total Ice & Water Shield — Full Deck Coverage
Instead of standard synthetic underlayment, Melchor Roofing installs total ice and water shield coverage across the entire roof deck on every installation. Ice and water shield is a self-adhering waterproof membrane that provides significantly superior protection compared to standard synthetic underlayment. While most contractors install ice and water shield only at the eaves as required by code, we cover the entire deck — creating a completely waterproof barrier beneath your shingles that protects your home from water intrusion, ice dams, and wind-driven rain from edge to edge.
Aluminum & Copper Drip Edge — Color Options Available
Drip edge is installed along all eaves and rakes on every roof installation — protecting the perimeter of your roof deck from water intrusion and directing water cleanly into your gutters. At Melchor Roofing we offer drip edge in multiple options so you can choose what best fits your home's style and budget.
Standard Aluminum Drip Edge
Our standard drip edge is white aluminum — durable, rust-resistant, and the most popular choice for residential roof installations across Fairfield County. Clean, professional, and built to last for the life of your roof.
Colored Aluminum Drip Edge
Want your drip edge to match your home's trim or gutter color? We offer aluminum drip edge in a range of colors including white, brown, clay, almond, musket brown, and black. A simple detail that makes a big difference in your home's finished appearance and curb appeal.
Copper Drip Edge — Premium Option
For homeowners who want the absolute best — we install copper drip edge as a premium upgrade. Copper drip edge is virtually indestructible, develops a beautiful natural patina over time, and pairs perfectly with copper gutters and copper flashing for a distinguished high-end look. Popular on premium properties throughout Westport, Greenwich, Darien, and New Canaan. Contact us to discuss copper drip edge options for your installation.
Ridge Ventilation — Proper Airflow on Every Installation
Every roof installation by Melchor Roofing includes a continuous ridge vent installed along the full length of your ridge. Proper ridge ventilation is one of the most critical and most overlooked components of a quality roof installation. Without it heat and moisture build up in your attic causing shingles to deteriorate prematurely, increasing your energy bills, and creating conditions for mold and rot to develop in your roof structure.
Why Ridge Ventilation Matters?
A properly ventilated roof works as a system — cool air enters through your soffit vents at the eaves and warm moist air exits through the ridge vent at the peak. This continuous airflow keeps your attic at the right temperature and humidity level year round — extending the life of your shingles, reducing heat buildup in summer, and preventing ice dams from forming in winter.

Hot-Dipped Galvanized Ring-Shank Nails
We fasten every shingle with hot-dipped galvanized ring-shank roofing nails — a minimum of 4 nails per shingle per manufacturer specification and Connecticut building code. Ring-shank nails provide significantly greater holding power than smooth shank nails and resist backing out over time.
OSB & CDX Plywood Decking
Where existing decking is damaged or compromised we install 7/16 inch or 1/2 inch OSB or CDX plywood fastened per Connecticut building code. Any additional decking required is documented with photos and presented to you for approval before installation at $65.00 per sheet.
Our Unmatched Guarantee
- 10-Year Workmanship Warranty
- Lifetime Material Warranty
- Full Transferability Protection
We stand behind our precision craftsmanship so you can rest easy under a roof built to last for decades.
