Frequently Asked Questions
Is the inspection really free and no-obligation?
Yes. We come out, assess your roof thoroughly, and give you a written estimate at no cost and with zero pressure to hire us. You take the estimate home and decide on your own timeline.
Will you try to sell me a full replacement when I only need a repair?
Never. We tell you honestly what your roof needs — whether that's a targeted repair, a few new slates, or a full replacement. If a repair gets the job done, that's what we'll recommend.
Does Ellsworth Slate & Copper work on historic or older Greenwich homes?
Absolutely. Many homes in Greenwich feature original slate or cedar shake roofing that requires specialized knowledge. We work with these materials every day and understand how to preserve and restore them properly.
Is Ellsworth Slate & Copper licensed and insured?
Yes. We are fully licensed and insured to operate in Connecticut, so you're protected throughout the project.
What does your workmanship warranty cover?
Our workmanship warranty covers defects in our installation work — meaning if something we installed fails due to how it was put on, we come back and make it right at no charge to you.
How do I know the written estimate is accurate?
Our estimates are based on a real in-person inspection of your roof, not a drive-by guess or a formula. We itemize the work so you know exactly what you're paying for before anyone lifts a shingle.
They spent an afternoon on the roof and came back with photographs of every valley before quoting anything. The slate we have is Vermont, it is ninety years old, and they told us it had decades left if we replaced the flashing instead.
Cedar shake on a 1920s house is not a job many people will take on now. The finish is beautiful and the copper valleys they put in are the nicest detail on the house.
We waited almost five months for a slot, which was hard to hear at the time, but having watched them work I understand why the calendar looks like that. I would wait again.
