FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What's the difference between a free estimate and a no-charge evaluation?

Almost every roofing company offers a free estimate. But an estimate and an evaluation are not the same thing.


A free estimate tells you what someone plans to install — materials, labor, and a total cost. What it often doesn't tell you is why your current roof failed, whether underlying problems exist, or whether ventilation and flashing are correct.


A no-charge evaluation is a systematic inspection of your entire roofing system — condition, flashing, ventilation, drainage, penetrations, and attic conditions — compared against current building codes and manufacturer requirements. The goal isn't just a price. It's identifying problems before they become expensive repairs.


At Welch Roofing, we provide evaluations — not just estimates. There's no cost and no pressure.

What sets Welch Roofing apart from other contractors?

Welch Roofing has been serving Connecticut since 1948 — that's over 75 years of trusted, local service passed down through generations.

As a US Army Veteran-owned company, we approach every project with the discipline, accountability, and attention to detail that military service demands.

We're also among the top 2% of CertainTeed-certified contractors nationwide.

We don't use a sales script. We listen first, inspect thoroughly, and give you honest guidance based on your home — not our quotas.

What roofing services do you offer?

We provide comprehensive exterior care for Connecticut homeowners, including:


Residential shingle roofing · Duro-Last® flat roofing · Gutter repair & maintenance · Ice dam assessment & remediation · Roof inspections · Ventilation corrections


Every service starts with a thorough evaluation so we can recommend what your home actually needs — not the most expensive option.

Is there any cost for a consultation or evaluation?

No — our evaluations are completely no-charge. There's no obligation, no pressure, and no sales pitch waiting at the end.

We believe every homeowner deserves honest information before making a decision. You'll walk away knowing exactly what's going on with your roof, regardless of whether you hire us.
