    Why Kellner

    Thirty-Seven Years in One Town Is Its Own Reference.

    As a roofing contractor in Southwestern Connecticut, most of our work comes from neighbors of people we have already looked after. That only happens if the job is right the first time.

    1

    You Deal with the Owner

    The owner is on the jobs. Reviews mention him by name because he is actually there.

    2

    A Price That Holds

    The estimate is the number. Anything unexpected is shown to you before it is done.

    3

    We Clean Up Properly

    Magnet sweep and a tidy site every evening, not just on the last day.

    Local Means Local

    Stratford since 1988. We are twenty minutes from your house, not two hours.

    Gutter service

    Gutters Sized for Connecticut Rain.

    Undersized or badly pitched gutters put water exactly where it does the most damage — fascia, foundations and basements. We install seamless aluminum gutters sized and pitched for real Connecticut rainfall, from the older homes around Stratford and Fairfield to newer builds in Shelton and Trumbull.

    • Seamless aluminum, formed to length on site
    • Correct pitch and downspout placement
    • Guards to keep leaves and pine needles out
    • Cleaned, repaired or fully replaced

    Siding contractor

    Siding That Still Looks Right in Ten Years.

    Siding is the first thing people see and the last line against the weather. We install and replace vinyl, fiber-cement and composite siding — sealed and flashed properly so it stands up to coastal wind and Connecticut winters, from Milford and West Haven across to Westport and Darien.

    • Vinyl, fiber-cement and composite
    • Proper flashing at windows, doors and rooflines
    • Trim, soffit and fascia repair
    • Colour-matched to the rest of the house

    Skylight contractor

    Skylights, Set In and Sealed Right.

    A skylight is only as good as its flashing. We supply and install fixed and vented skylights — and replace the older ones that have started to leak — flashed into the roof so the light comes in and the water stays out. A common job on the Cape and Colonial homes around Fairfield, Easton and Newtown.

    • New installs and leak-prone replacements
    • Fixed, vented and electric units
    • Curb- and deck-mounted flashing done properly
    • Done on its own or with a roof replacement

    Waterproofing service

    Stopping Water at the Source.

    Wet basements and failing flat sections are almost always a water-management problem, not a mystery. We waterproof foundations, basements and low-slope roof sections — tracing where the water actually gets in and stopping it there — for homes and businesses across Southwestern Connecticut, from Norwalk and Ridgefield to Monroe and Weston.

    • Foundation and basement waterproofing
    • Flat and low-slope roof membranes
    • Drainage and grading corrections
    • A free assessment before any work

    What we install

    Six Roof Systems, Not One.

    The right system depends on the pitch, the building and what is underneath. We will tell you which one you actually need.

    Asphalt Shingle

    The standard for most Connecticut homes. Architectural shingles over a full underlayment.

    Cedar

    Shake and shingle, for the homes on the shoreline where it belongs. Repaired as well as replaced.

    EPDM Rubber

    Single-ply membrane for flat and low-slope sections — porches, dormers, extensions.

    Flat Roofing

    Built up properly with the drainage worked out first, so it is not ponding by next spring.

    Commercial Systems

    Low-slope work for local businesses and property managers, scheduled around your opening hours.

    Roof Coatings

    Where a sound roof needs its life extended rather than a full tear-off.

    Service area

    Stratford and Southwestern Connecticut.

    We are a roofing contractor in Southwestern Connecticut, covering fifteen towns across Fairfield County (Stratford, Trumbull, Fairfield, Easton, Weston, Westport, Monroe, Darien, Newtown, Shelton, Norwalk and Ridgefield) and New Haven County (Milford, West Haven and New Haven). If yours is on this list, we are there most weeks.

    Questions

    The Things People Ask Before They Call.

    How Much Does a New Roof Cost?

    Honestly, nobody can tell you over the phone. It depends on the size, the pitch, how many layers are coming off and what the deck underneath looks like. We come out, get on the roof, and give you a written number that holds. The visit is free and there is no pressure at the end of it.

    Do I Actually Need a Full Replacement, or Will a Repair Do?

    Often a repair will do, and we will say so. A roof with ten good years left does not need tearing off because one valley is leaking. You will get photos of what we found and a straight answer either way.

    How Long Does a Roof Replacement Take?

    Most houses around here are one to two days. We tarp and protect the landscaping first, and the site gets tidied and magnet-swept every evening — not just on the last day.

    Do You Help with Insurance Claims?

    Yes. After storm damage we document what we find properly, with dated photos, so your adjuster has something real to work from. We will meet the adjuster at the house if that helps.

    Are You Licensed and Insured?

    Licensed, insured and registered as a Connecticut Home Improvement Contractor. Ask to see any of it at the estimate and we will show you.

    What Areas Do You Cover?

    Stratford and Southwestern Connecticut — fifteen towns across Fairfield and New Haven counties, from Milford and West Haven across to Norwalk, Darien and Ridgefield.

    Do You Do Commercial Work?

    Yes. Flat and low-slope systems for local businesses and property managers, scheduled around your opening hours rather than ours.
