New roofs & replacement

How do I know if I need a roof repair or a full replacement?

If the damage is limited to one area (a few missing shingles, a single leak, a flashing problem), a repair usually makes sense. If the roof is near the end of its life, has leaks in several places, curling or bald shingles, or soft spots in the deck, replacement is often the better investment. We'll inspect it and tell you honestly which option fits.

How much does a new roof cost in Lowell, MA?

It depends on the size and pitch of the roof, how many old layers have to come off, the condition of the deck and the materials you choose. That's why we give every customer a free on-site estimate with a clear written price before any work begins.

How long does a roof replacement take?

Most single-family homes take one to a few days, depending on the size of the roof, its complexity and the weather. We'll give you a time frame with your estimate.

Can you put a new roof over the old one?

In some cases a second layer is allowed, but we usually recommend a full tear-off. Removing the old shingles lets us inspect and repair the deck, install ice and water shield properly, and gives you a roof that lasts longer.

Do you work on commercial and flat roofs?

Yes. Along with shingle roofs for homes, we install and repair flat and low-slope roofs on commercial and multi-family buildings.

Roof repair

My roof is leaking right now. What should I do?

Move valuables away from the leak and put a bucket under the drip. Then call or WhatsApp us at (978) 419-3142. If you can, send a photo of the ceiling and the roof. Please don't climb on a wet or icy roof yourself.

How often should my roof be inspected?

Once a year is a good rule, plus after any major storm. In New England, a check in the fall before snow season helps catch loose shingles and flashing problems before they turn into leaks.

Snow & ice dams

What is an ice dam and why is it a problem?

An ice dam is a ridge of ice that forms at the edge of the roof when snow melts higher up and refreezes at the colder eaves. Water then backs up under the shingles and can leak into ceilings and walls. Removing the snow and ice, and improving ventilation, helps prevent it.

When should snow be removed from my roof?

After heavy storms, when snow builds up deep or wet and heavy, or as soon as you see icicles and ice dams forming along the gutters. Don't wait for a leak, and don't get on the roof yourself. Call us and we'll clear it safely.

Do you also clear driveways and walkways?

Yes. Along with roof snow removal, we clear driveways, walkways and entrances for homes and businesses.

Gutters

How often should gutters be cleaned?

At least twice a year: in late spring and again in the fall after the leaves drop. Homes with lots of trees nearby may need it more often.

Can clogged gutters damage my roof?

Yes. Water that can't drain backs up under the roof edge, rots fascia boards and makes ice dams worse in winter. Overflowing gutters also dump water next to your foundation.
