About Asphalt Shingles
Asphalt shingles offer the best balance of affordability, appearance, and performance for most Connecticut homes. We install premium architectural shingles with proper underlayment and ice-and-water protection.
Our shingle installations include careful attention to valleys, chimneys, skylights, and roof penetrations — the details that separate a good roof from a great one.
Whether you're building new or replacing an aging roof, RC Carpentry & Roofing delivers shingle roofing that stands up to New England weather year after year.

Yes, when installed with proper ice-and-water shield, ventilation, and quality materials rated for our climate zone.
