Unpermitted roofing in Norwalk surfaces at resale, because the permit record is public and inspectors check it. Permits in Norwalk are pulled by the contractor as part of the job rather than left to the owner.
What happens on the day of a Norwalk roofing job?
Nothing is left open overnight on a Norwalk job — the deck is dried in the same day it is exposed. Flashing at every penetration is replaced rather than reused on a Norwalk roof.
What roofing materials suit Norwalk homes?
Composition shingle is the most common covering in Norwalk and typically runs fifteen to twenty-five years here. Tile on a Norwalk property outlives its underlayment by decades, and the underlayment is the part doing the waterproofing.
