Project Overview: Roof Replacement in Glastonbury, CT
The homeowners in Glastonbury were concerned about an aging roof that showed discoloration, granule loss, and general wear from years of New England weather. With heavy seasonal rains, winter snow, and occasional high winds, they wanted a roofing system that would protect their home long term and refresh the overall appearance of the property.
Millstream Construction recommended a complete tear-off of the existing shingles and accessories, followed by installation of a GAF Timberline HDZ architectural roofing system in the color Nantucket Morning. The project scope included new starter courses, synthetic underlayment, ice and water protection in critical leak areas, hip and ridge shingles, pipe boots, flashing, and new white aluminum drip edge. Care was taken to protect landscaping and existing gutters while working around multiple roof planes and architectural features for a clean, professional finish.
Project Results: Improved Curb Appeal and Long-Term Protection
The finished roof significantly improved the overall look of the Glastonbury home, replacing dull, weathered shingles with a dimensional Nantucket Morning finish that complements the existing siding and trim. The updated system delivers enhanced wind resistance, better water shedding, and improved leak protection around valleys, penetrations, and eaves.
The homeowners now have a roof designed to stand up to Connecticut freeze–thaw cycles, wind-driven rain, and summer heat, backed by manufacturer and contractor warranties for added peace of mind. Proper ventilation and modern underlayment help support a longer roof life and more consistent attic temperatures, which can contribute to better energy efficiency over time.
