New Fairfield's winterized Candlewood Lake cottages tend to carry complex rooflines and roofing never sized for a full Connecticut winter. Roofing, chimney, and masonry.
New Fairfield sits on the western shore of Candlewood Lake, Connecticut's largest lake at 8.4 square miles, a man-made reservoir created between 1926 and 1928 by flooding roughly 5,420 acres, including a small community once called Jerusalem. Lakeside communities like Candlewood Isle and Candlewood Knolls mix older cottages winterized into year-round homes with newer construction, and complex rooflines are common on the waterfront lots.
Services in This Town
Every VT1 service, scoped to what homes in New Fairfield actually need.
New Fairfield's Candlewood Lake shoreline communities, including Candlewood Isle and Candlewood Knolls, often have complex rooflines built to maximize water views. We handle full replacement and repair on both those waterfront properties and the town's newer inland construction.
Older lakeside cottages around New Fairfield frequently carry masonry chimneys that predate their conversion to year-round use. We repoint, reline, and rebuild them throughout the town.
Waterfront lots along Candlewood Lake put extra demands on retaining walls and steps built into shoreline terrain. We build and repair masonry sized for grades like these.
Local Conditions
New Fairfield's Candlewood Lake shoreline concentrates humidity that accelerates wear on asphalt shingle roofs, and many of the original lakeside cottages here were never built to year-round winter standards. That gap tends to show up first in flashing and attic ventilation, same as it does on Putnam County's lake towns.
Permits & Licensing
New Fairfield's Building Department issues local permits separately from Connecticut's state Home Improvement Contractor registration. VT1 holds the state registration and pulls the required town permit before work begins.

We had the roof on our home in Chappaqua completely replaced, and I couldn't be happier with the experience and the final result. Ervin was amazing from beginning to end — extremely professional, reliable, knowledgeable, and easy to communicate with throughout the entire project. His crew did an incredible job. They worked efficiently, paid attention to every detail, and were extremely clean and respectful of our property. With such a large roofing project, I was expecting a big mess, but they kept everything organized and made sure the property was cleaned up beautifully. The difference in the before and after is incredible. The new roof looks beautiful, and the quality of the workmanship really shows. I would absolutely recommend Ervin and his team to anyone looking for a trustworthy and professional roofing company. Excellent work, excellent service, and a great experience from start to finish. 10/10!
