Wind and storm damage on a Norwalk roof is covered where it is documented; wear is not covered anywhere.

Inspect that the Norwalk crew doing the work is employed by the company quoting it. Worth knowing before you sign anything. As a rule, a good Norwalk roofer will talk you out of the job you do not need, which is the clearest signal there is. It is the same story on most Norwalk streets.

Reclaimed tile can be matched on Norwalk heritage roofs, but the underlayment beneath it should always be new. Mixing materials across a Norwalk roof is fine provided each section gets the system it requires and the transitions are flashed properly. Coatings suit Norwalk buildings with a in good order deck and a tired surface — they buy seasons, but they do not fix water already trapped in the insulation.
