Connecticut housing age and ownership

The middle of that range sits in the 1960s: table B25035 gives a median year built of 1967 (ACS 2020-2024). On the ownership side, table B25003 reports 952,989 owner-occupied units out of 1,434,007 occupied units for the same years.
How Connecticut law treats roofing contractors
This section is general information, not legal advice. It summarizes official sources as of October 7, 2026; check the current text of each rule before relying on it.
Roofing work on Connecticut homes falls under the Home Improvement Act. The definition in Conn. Gen. Stat. 20-419 (revised to January 1, 2026) lists roofs, siding and "water, fire or storm restoration" among home improvements to a private residence. Storm restoration was added by Public Act 16-35, effective January 1, 2017. The same section leaves out a person whose home improvement contracts total $1,000 or less in any twelve months.
To register, a contractor applies online to the Commissioner of Consumer Protection and, under Conn. Gen. Stat. 20-421 (revised to January 1, 2026), must show proof of general liability insurance of at least $20,000. Section 20-429a also bars soliciting work by telling an owner that work will start unless the owner says no by a date the contractor sets.
The registration requirement and the three-day cancellation rule for home improvement contracts are covered on leads in Connecticut.
Hail and storm declarations in Connecticut
Hail is uncommon in Connecticut. The NOAA Storm Events Database 2025 file has 4 Connecticut records with the event type Hail. FEMA's Disaster Declarations Summaries show one major disaster for severe storms since January 1, 2023: DR-4820, declared September 20, 2024, for a severe storm, flooding, landslides and mudslides.
Method: hail is the number of Connecticut rows in the 2025 Storm Events file with event type Hail, one row per county or forecast zone per storm. Declarations are separate state major disaster (DR) declarations from the start of 2023 to the October 7, 2026 download whose incident type or title is a severe storm, tornado or hurricane; severe winter storms do not count.
What Connecticut roofing buyers filter on
Most Connecticut buyers start from housing age and ownership, then add claim status for storm work.
- Project type: full replacement of an aging roof, a repair, or storm restoration.
- Homeowner status: the owner signs the home improvement contract, so renters are screened out.
- Insurance claim status: whether a storm claim is open, which matters for restoration jobs.
- ZIP code: buyers pick the towns their registered contractors serve.
