Water stains on your ceiling after a heavy rain aren’t just ugly—they’re a warning. Ice dams backing up under your shingles during winter aren’t normal wear and tear. They’re signs your roof isn’t doing its job anymore.
You need a roof that actually protects your home when nor’easters roll through and temperatures swing 40 degrees in a day. That means proper installation, quality materials that hold up to freeze-thaw cycles, and a roofing contractor who won’t disappear after cashing your check.
When your roof works the way it should, you’re not calling for emergency repairs every season. You’re not dealing with mold in the attic or sky-high heating bills because warm air is escaping through gaps. You’re living in a home that’s actually protected—and that peace of mind is worth something.
Paradise Remodeling Inc has been handling roofing and siding work in the North Shore area for nearly two decades. We’re an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor, which means we meet their standards for quality work and customer service—not just once, but consistently.
We’re licensed with the Massachusetts Home Improvement Contractor board and fully insured. That’s not something to gloss over when you’re letting someone tear into your roof. Middleton homeowners deal with the same weather challenges as the rest of Essex County: heavy snow loads, ice dams forming at the eaves, and wind that can lift shingles right off if they weren’t installed correctly.
We’ve replaced over 7,000 roofs across Massachusetts. We know what holds up here and what doesn’t. And we stay in contact throughout the entire project because disappearing contractors are one of the biggest complaints we hear from people who’ve been burned before.
First, we come out and actually look at your roof. Not a quick glance from the driveway—a real inspection. We’re checking for missing or damaged shingles, signs of water infiltration, flashing issues around chimneys and vents, and whether your attic ventilation is set up right. Poor ventilation is one of the main reasons roofs fail early in Massachusetts.
Once we know what you’re dealing with, we give you a straightforward quote. No surprises, no upselling you on things you don’t need. If you need a full replacement, we’ll tell you. If a repair will buy you a few more years, we’ll tell you that too.
When it’s time to start work, we show up when we say we will. We protect your property, tear off the old roofing down to the deck, replace any damaged sheathing, install new underlayment and ice-and-water shield where it matters, then put down your new roof using manufacturer-spec installation methods. We clean up completely when we’re done—no nails left in your driveway for your tires to find. And if something comes up during the job, you’ll know about it right away.

We handle everything from emergency roof repairs to complete replacements and new installations. That includes asphalt shingle roofs, which are what most homes in Middleton have, as well as other roofing systems. We use Mule Hide and Owens Corning products because they hold up to New England conditions and come with solid warranties.
Middleton sees the same weather patterns as the rest of the North Shore—winter temperatures that spike during the day and plummet at night, causing your roof materials to expand and contract constantly. That’s hard on any roof, but especially one that wasn’t installed with proper attention to detail. We make sure flashing is sealed correctly, shingles are nailed in the right spots (not too high, not too low), and your roof has the ventilation it needs to prevent ice dams before they start.
If you’re dealing with an emergency—like a tree branch punching through during a storm or a section of roof that’s come loose—we offer 24/7 emergency services. Waiting until Monday morning to tarp a hole in your roof is how a $2,000 repair turns into a $15,000 problem. The average roof replacement in Massachusetts runs over $16,000, so protecting what you have makes sense. But when it’s time for a new roof, we’ll make sure you get your money’s worth.
If the damage is localized—a few missing shingles after a windstorm, a small leak around a chimney, or damaged flashing—a repair usually makes sense. But if your roof is over 20 years old, you’re seeing multiple leaks, shingles are curling or losing granules across large sections, or you’ve got widespread water damage in your attic, a replacement is probably the smarter move.
Patching an old roof can buy you time, but it’s like putting a bandaid on a bigger problem. You’ll end up spending money on repairs every year, and you’re still left with a roof that’s on borrowed time. During our inspection, we’ll be straight with you about what condition your roof is actually in.
Massachusetts weather is tough on roofs. The freeze-thaw cycles, ice dams, and temperature swings we get here accelerate wear. If your roof is near the end of its lifespan and you’re starting to see problems, replacing it now—before you have water damage inside your home—is usually the better financial decision.
Ice dams happen when heat escapes from your attic and warms the roof deck. That melts the snow sitting on your roof, and the water runs down toward the eaves. But the eaves are cold because they extend past your heated house, so that water refreezes into a dam of ice. More water backs up behind it, and eventually it works its way up under your shingles and into your house.
The fix isn’t just better shingles—it’s proper attic insulation and ventilation. If your attic is too warm, you’re going to get ice dams no matter what’s on your roof. We make sure your roof has adequate ventilation (ridge vents, soffit vents, proper airflow) so cold air can circulate and keep the roof deck cold in winter. We also install ice-and-water shield at the eaves, which is a waterproof membrane that protects the most vulnerable areas.
This is one of those things a lot of roofers skip or do halfway because it takes more time. But in Middleton, where winter temperatures bounce around constantly, it’s the difference between a roof that lasts 25 years and one that starts leaking after 10. If you’ve had ice dam problems before, it’s worth asking your roofer what they’re doing to prevent them—not just patch the damage they caused.
Most residential roof replacements take two to four days, depending on the size of your home, the complexity of the roof, and the weather. A straightforward ranch with a simple roofline might be done in two days. A larger colonial with multiple valleys, dormers, and chimneys will take longer.
We don’t rush the job to hit some arbitrary timeline. Roofing work done too fast is roofing work done wrong—nails in the wrong spots, flashing not sealed properly, underlayment wrinkled or torn. Those shortcuts come back to bite you in a few years when you start seeing leaks.
Weather can slow things down, especially in Massachusetts. We’re not tearing your roof off if there’s rain in the forecast, and we’re not working in unsafe conditions. If we have to pause for weather, we’ll make sure everything is tarped and protected. You’ll know the schedule before we start, and if anything changes, we’ll keep you updated. The goal is to get your roof done right, not just done fast.
Yes. We hold a Massachusetts Home Improvement Contractor license, which you can verify with the state licensing board. We’re also fully insured, which protects both you and our crew if something goes wrong on the job.
This matters more than people realize. If an unlicensed contractor damages your property or someone gets hurt on your roof, you could be on the hook financially. And if they do subpar work, you have very little recourse. A licensed contractor is accountable to the state and has to follow specific standards.
We’re also an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor, which means we’ve met their requirements for business practices, customer satisfaction, and proper installation techniques. It’s not just a marketing badge—it’s a certification they pull if you stop meeting their standards. When you’re making a five-figure investment in your roof, working with a contractor who’s properly licensed, insured, and certified isn’t optional. It’s the baseline.
For most homes in Middleton, asphalt shingles are the best balance of cost, durability, and performance. They handle New England weather well when installed correctly, they come in a range of styles and colors, and they typically last 20 to 25 years. We use Owens Corning and Mule Hide products because they’re built for climates like ours and they back their products with real warranties.
Metal roofing is another option if you want something more durable. It costs more upfront, but it can last 40+ years, sheds snow better than asphalt, and holds up well to high winds. The tradeoff is cost—metal roofs run significantly more than asphalt. For some homeowners, that investment makes sense. For others, a quality asphalt roof is the smarter choice.
Wood shakes look great and offer better insulation, but they require more maintenance and don’t last as long in wet climates. We’ll walk you through the pros and cons of each material based on your home, your budget, and how long you plan to stay there. There’s no one-size-fits-all answer, but we’ll make sure you understand what you’re getting before you make a decision.
Yes. We offer 24/7 emergency roofing services because roof damage doesn’t wait for business hours. If a storm tears off part of your roof, a tree comes down on your house, or you suddenly have water pouring into your living room, waiting until tomorrow can turn a manageable problem into a disaster.
When you call for emergency service, we’ll get someone out to assess the damage and tarp or temporarily seal the area to prevent further water intrusion. Then we’ll give you a plan for permanent repairs. Sometimes that’s a quick fix. Sometimes it means a larger repair or even a replacement, depending on what the storm did.
Massachusetts gets hit with nor’easters, high winds, and heavy snow that can cause sudden roof failures, especially on older roofs. If you’re in that situation, don’t wait. The longer water sits in your attic or walls, the more damage it does—and the more expensive the fix becomes. Call us, and we’ll get someone out there as fast as we can.
