STAMFORD, Conn. - Feb 6, 2026 - Northeast Roofing & Home Improvement, a newly launched roofing and exterior contractor serving Fairfield County, said it is expanding roof snow-removal, ice dam mitigation and winter response services after Connecticut experienced heavy snowfall, elevated insurance exposures and growing homeowner claims tied to winter roof damage.
Late-January storms dropped as much as 21 inches of snow on some Connecticut communities, with National Weather Service summaries citing stations reporting multiple feet of accumulation. Severe freeze-thaw cycles following the snowfall have increased the formation of ice dams, conditions that can trap meltwater on roof edges and drive interior leaks and structural strain.
According to the Connecticut Insurance Department, winter storms cause more than $100 million in insured losses annually on average in the state, reflecting property and weather exposures that can include roof collapses, interior water damage, burst pipes and ice-related claims.
Ice dam damage is generally covered by Connecticut homeowners insurance when it results in sudden and accidental interior or exterior loss, although insurance may not pay for ice dam removal alone as a maintenance cost.
The national picture is also marked by rising winter losses. According to the Insurance Information Institute, winter storms caused nearly $6 billion in insured losses in 2022, one of the costliest years of recent decades for winter perils.
Northeast Roofing said snow buildup on roofs and especially on solar panels can exacerbate winter maintenance challenges, reducing panel output and increasing weight stress along roof edges. The company’s expanded winter services include roof snow removal, ice dam risk inspection, gutter and drainage assessment and winter-ready ventilations checks.
The company also noted a planned expansion in field staff to support elevated winter-season demand, hiring roofing technicians, roof inspectors and support personnel to respond to emergencies and preventive service calls.
Industry background
Connecticut’s severe winter weather and accumulated snow loads pose recurring risks to residential roofs and exterior systems. Heavy snow followed by freeze-thaw cycles increases ice dam formation, which can trap water and force it under roofing materials, leading to leaks, insulation damage and potential mold. Connecticut homeowners insurance policies often cover sudden and accidental damage caused by ice dam-related leaks and roof collapses, but may exclude coverage for ongoing maintenance tasks like ice removal itself. At the state level, winter storms generate more than $100 million annually in insured losses, underscoring the financial stakes for property owners and insurers. Nationwide, winter storms have historically driven billions in insured losses, with 2022 among the costliest years on record.
