Attention Roofers
As of May 1, 1999 (which is when the latest version of the CT State Building Code was adopted) the following was included:
- #15lb. felt is required under all new and stripped roofs. This has been in the code since shingles were invented.
- A 36" strip of ice and water type membrane is required on all eaves edges.
- If the wind speed rating in your town is 100 miles per hour or greater, 6 nails are required in each 3-tab or architectural shingle. Most towns are 100 mph or greater.
During the roofing job, please call for an inspection to verify the Building Code requirements.
