# Sherman Roofing > Roofing for Sherman and the towns around Candlewood Lake. Winter snow, ice dams at the eaves, freeze-thaw wear and limbs that fall from wooded lots are the usual reasons to call, along with leaks, flashing, gutters, skylights and full replacements. Roughly 45 inches of snow falls in a typical winter here. Many houses are older farmhouses or lake homes built from the mid-century on, and cottages converted to year-round use often have thin attic insulation. Licensed local roofers do the work and give a written quote. ## Key facts - Business: Sherman Roofing - What: Roof repair and replacement - Phone: (833) 751-2102 (+18337512102) - Email: info@shermanroofing.shop -

[FAQ](https://shermanroofing.shop/faq/) - [What Moves the Price of a Roof Replacement in Sherman, CT](https://shermanroofing.shop/guides/roof-replacement-cost-sherman/): A replacement quote in Sherman depends on roof area, pitch and storeys, access for crews and a dumpster, how many layers come off, what the decking turns out to need, the material you choose, and how many valleys, chimneys and skylights need flashing. Nobody can price those from the street, so the roofer confirms the figure on site. - [Ice Dams on Candlewood Lake Homes: Why They Form and What Stops Them](https://shermanroofing.shop/guides/ice-dams-candlewood-lake-homes/): An ice dam forms when heat escaping into the attic melts snow on the warm part of the roof, and the water refreezes at the cold eave. Converted lake cottages with thin insulation and many air leaks are the likeliest houses. Removing the ice helps this week; sealing and insulating the attic stops it returning. - [Trees on the Roof: What to Do After a Wind Storm in the Candlewood Lake Towns](https://shermanroofing.shop/guides/after-the-2018-storms-fallen-tree-roof-damage/): When a tree lands on a roof, get everyone out of the damaged area, stay clear of wires and call 911 if anyone is hurt. Photograph from the ground, call a roofer to cover the opening, and arrange tree removal. The lasting repair is planned separately, once the weather allows an inspection. - [Checking a Roofer's Registration in Connecticut and Across the New York Line](https://shermanroofing.shop/guides/check-roofer-registration-connecticut-new-york/): Connecticut issues no roofing licence; roofers working on homes register as Home Improvement Contractors with the Department of Consumer Protection, and you can check the registration at elicense.ct.gov. New York has no statewide roofing licence. Putnam County requires county registration, and in Dutchess you should ask the county and the town. - [Do You Need a Permit to Re-Roof in Sherman, CT?](https://shermanroofing.shop/guides/do-i-need-a-permit-reroof-sherman/): A re-roof in Sherman normally needs a building permit from the town building office. Fees, timing and exact rules are set locally and change, so confirm them with the town before work starts. Your contract should state who pulls the permit, and New York towns near the line run their own processes. - [Caring for Slate and Cedar Roofs on Historic Homes in Litchfield County](https://shermanroofing.shop/guides/slate-cedar-roofs-historic-litchfield-county/): On a historic house the stone or wood is often not what fails first. Fasteners, flashing and underlayment give out, and a roofer can usually replace them while keeping sound slate or cedar. Repair is usually the better first question than replacement, and the work needs a roofer who has done it before. - [Roofing Under Trees: Moss, Debris and Gutters on Wooded Sherman-Area Lots](https://shermanroofing.shop/guides/roofing-wooded-lots-moss-gutters/): Shade keeps a roof damp, and damp roofs grow moss, collect leaves in valleys and clog gutters. Dark streaks are mostly cosmetic, but moss lifts shingles and clogged gutters push water under the eave. Keep valleys and gutters clear, trim limbs that touch the roof, and have a roofer look before winter. - [When to Replace the Roof on a Lake or Country Home Near Sherman](https://shermanroofing.shop/guides/when-to-replace-roof-lake-home/): Replace when the covering is failing across the roof, not at one spot: brittle or cracked shingles on several slopes, widespread granule loss, repeated leaks in different places, soft decking or a sagging deck. Repair when one detail has failed on an otherwise sound roof. An inspection from the roof and the attic usually settles it. ## Company - [About](https://shermanroofing.shop/about/) - [Reviews](https://shermanroofing.shop/reviews/) - [Contact](https://shermanroofing.shop/contact/) ## Optional - [Full text of every page](https://shermanroofing.shop/llms-full.txt)
