My Roof Needs Help!

Home & Garden

By Dennis D. Crowley


The roof is the most important part of your home's weatherproofing and a damaged or leaking roof can cause many serious problems and potentially expensive home repairs.


Why do I need to have my roof inspected?
 
Harsh New England winters, salt air, high humidity, and major storms can all affect the strength and effectiveness of your roof over time. Roofing shingles that are loose, broken, or missing, roof leaks caused by poorly sealed flashing around chimneys, attic vents, and piping, and moisture buildup beneath shingles that cause them to buckle or curl are all reasons to prioritize the need for periodic roof inspections and to get your roof repaired when necessary.


Is it expensive to replace a roof?

We offer affordable new roof installation. There are many types of roofing shingles, but in New England, as well as 3/4 of homes in the United States, asphalt architectural roofing shingles are by far the #1 roofing shingle of choice. Asphalt architectural roofing shingles are the most popular residential roofing shingles because they are low cost, are a great value over time, and require low maintenance and little upkeep. They are also easy and affordable to install and can be applied to many roof designs. Strong asphalt shingles perform well in extreme temperatures and have excellent resistance to fire and wind.


The look, durability, and life span of asphalt architectural roofing shingles have greatly improved in recent years. These popular roofing shingles are more natural looking, stronger, and are available in many colors, styles, and texture choices. 


Do you offer free roofing inspections and estimates?

Yes, we can give you a free inspection and estimate on your roof. We also install gutters and rain collection systems and take care of the necessary building permits, any demolition and disposal work, and the ordering of the best-priced, quality roofing materials available.
