Litchfield County gets the most snowfall in Connecticut — up to 60+ inches in the hills. Ice dams are the dominant winter roofing issue. Metal standing seam is increasingly popular for CT's northwest hills because it sheds snow and eliminates ice dam risk. Cedar shake is common on historic Litchfield-area properties. Newtown and Brookfield's suburban communities use standard architectural asphalt. All towns require permits.

Yes — all CT municipalities require permits for full roof replacement. Your licensed HIC contractor should pull the permit as part of the project. Never allow a contractor to skip permits.
$10,000–$26,000 for asphalt shingles on a typical CT home. Cedar shake: $25,000–$55,000. Metal: $22,000–$50,000+. Always get at least 3 quotes from CT HIC-licensed contractors.
Look up any contractor's HIC license at the CT Department of Consumer Protection license lookup tool online. Never sign a contract with an unlicensed contractor in Connecticut.
