Compare 13 West Haven roof replacement contractors, what a full tear-off and install involves, and how our scoring ranks the best options.
A full roof replacement means stripping the existing shingles or roofing material down to the deck, checking that plywood or OSB sheathing for rot or soft spots, replacing what's damaged, installing new underlayment and flashing around chimneys, vents and valleys, then laying the new roof covering. For most West Haven homes that's asphalt shingles, though some contractors also handle metal, slate repair-matching, or flat roofing on additions and porches. It's a bigger job than a patch repair: expect a crew on site for one to three days depending on roof size and complexity, plus dumpster delivery for the tear-off debris.
We list 13 roof replacement and installation contractors serving West Haven. Before hiring, look for a written estimate that breaks out materials, labor, disposal and any deck repair as a separate line item, proof of Connecticut licensing and liability insurance, and a clear warranty on both materials and workmanship. Ask whether they pull the required town permit themselves, since a permitted job means an inspector signs off on the work.
Our scoring weighs verified reviews, how consistently a contractor shows up and follows through, and signals like licensing and business longevity, so you're not just going on star ratings alone. For the full ranked breakdown with our reasoning on each contractor, see the best roofing contractors in West Haven guide. Details on how we build these rankings are on the methodology page.

Most reviewers praise Michael's decades of hands-on experience and his crew's precision on complex cedar and metal roofing jobs. Two early accounts flag poor communication during the quoting phase and a warranty dispute that dragged on unresolved.
Colonial Exteriors earns high marks for single-home roof and gutter work, with owner Chris known to follow up personally. However, a major multi-unit project revealed serious delays and incomplete work over months, with workers appearing sporadically and the site looking neglected. This split suggests the company performs well on straightforward jobs but struggles with scope and coordination on larger builds.
Two five-star reviews highlight Franklin Custom's attention to detail, clear communication, and high-quality materials on roof projects. A third review clashes with this pattern, suggesting inconsistency or unresolved issues that prevent a stronger overall rating.
Nations Roof holds a perfect 5.0 rating across three Google reviews. Review detail is limited, but available feedback indicates customers value their emergency response and professional service. The business operates across the West Haven and greater New Haven area.
