You’re not calling a roofer because everything’s going great. You’re calling because something’s leaking, missing, or about to fail—and you need it handled before it gets worse.
When we finish a roofing job in Salisbury, you’re not wondering if it’ll hold. You know it will. That’s because we don’t patch over problems or use materials that won’t last through a New England winter. We assess what’s actually wrong, explain what needs fixing, and use roofing systems built for the freeze-thaw cycles, coastal wind, and ice dams that hit this area every year.
You get a roof that keeps water out when storms roll in off the Atlantic. You get straight answers about what your roof needs now and what can wait. And you get to stop worrying every time the forecast calls for heavy snow or high winds.
We’ve been handling roofing and exterior work across Essex County for nearly two decades. We’re an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor, which means we’ve met their standards for quality and service—and we maintain those standards on every job.
We’re based locally, so we know what roofs in Salisbury deal with. The salt air, the nor’easters, the ice that builds up in your valleys and eaves. We’ve seen what fails and what holds up, and we use that knowledge to recommend the right materials and methods for your specific situation.
You’re not getting a crew that’s here today and gone tomorrow. You’re working with a company that’s been serving this area long enough to stand behind the work we do.
First, we come out and inspect your roof. Not from the ground—we get up there and look at the shingles, flashing, valleys, and any areas where water could be getting in. We check for storm damage, worn materials, and structural issues that might not be obvious from below.
Then we explain what we found. If you need a full roof replacement, we’ll tell you. If it’s a repair that’ll buy you a few more years, we’ll tell you that too. We walk through your options, the materials that make sense for your home and budget, and what the timeline looks like.
Once you’re ready to move forward, we handle the work from start to finish. That includes protecting your property during the job, removing old materials, installing your new roof or completing repairs, and cleaning up when we’re done. You’ll know what’s happening at each stage, and you won’t be left guessing when we’ll be back to finish.

We handle roof repairs when you’ve got leaks, missing shingles, or damage from storms. We also do complete roof replacements when your roof has reached the end of its lifespan—which in Massachusetts is often shorter than the national average because of our climate.
In Salisbury and the surrounding coastal areas, roofs take a beating. You’re dealing with high winds off the ocean, heavy snow loads in winter, and rapid temperature swings that cause thermal shock to roofing materials. A 25-year shingle rated for milder climates rarely makes it that long here. We use materials designed to handle these conditions, including options from Mule Hide Roofing and Owens Corning that offer better durability and longer warranties.
We also address the issues that come with New England winters—ice dam prevention, proper attic ventilation, and flashing repairs that keep water from getting under your shingles when snow melts and refreezes. If you’re not sure whether you need a repair or a replacement, we’ll give you an honest assessment based on what we see, not what makes us the most money.
Roof replacement costs in Salisbury typically range from $8,000 to $25,000 depending on the size of your home, the materials you choose, and the complexity of the job. A standard asphalt shingle roof on a 1,500-square-foot home usually falls in the $10,000 to $15,000 range.
That price includes tearing off your old roof, installing new underlayment and shingles, replacing any damaged decking, updating flashing around chimneys and vents, and cleanup. If you’re upgrading to architectural shingles or adding better ventilation to prevent ice dams, that’ll increase the cost but also extend the life of your roof.
We give you a detailed estimate after inspecting your roof so you know exactly what you’re paying for. No surprises, no padding the numbers.
In Massachusetts, asphalt shingle roofs typically last 15 to 20 years—shorter than the 20 to 25 years you’d get in milder climates. The constant freeze-thaw cycles, heavy snow, ice dams, and coastal winds all accelerate wear on roofing materials.
Metal roofs last longer, usually 30 to 50 years, which is why more homeowners in this area are considering them despite the higher upfront cost. Architectural shingles also tend to outlast standard three-tab shingles because they’re thicker and more resistant to wind and impact damage.
The lifespan also depends on how well your roof was installed and whether it has proper ventilation. Poor attic ventilation traps heat and moisture, which breaks down shingles faster. If your roof is approaching 15 years old and you’re starting to see curling, cracking, or granule loss, it’s time to have it inspected.
Ice dams form when heat escapes from your attic and melts snow on your roof. That melted snow runs down to the colder eaves and refreezes, creating a dam that traps water behind it. That trapped water works its way under your shingles and into your home, causing leaks and water damage.
The best prevention is proper attic insulation and ventilation. Your attic should be cold in winter—close to the outside temperature—so snow doesn’t melt unevenly on your roof. That means sealing air leaks from your living space into the attic, adding enough insulation, and ensuring your roof has adequate intake and exhaust vents.
We also install ice and water shield underlayment in vulnerable areas like eaves and valleys during roof replacements. This creates a waterproof barrier that protects your home even if ice dams do form. If you’re dealing with recurring ice dams, we can assess your attic ventilation and recommend solutions that actually fix the problem instead of just treating the symptoms.
It depends on the extent of the damage and the age of your roof. If you’ve got a few missing or damaged shingles and your roof is relatively new, a repair makes sense. But if your roof is over 15 years old and sustained significant damage, replacement is usually the better long-term investment.
Storm damage isn’t always obvious from the ground. High winds can lift shingles and break the seal without tearing them off completely, which leads to leaks down the road. Hail can bruise shingles and knock off protective granules, shortening their lifespan. We do a full inspection to assess both visible and hidden damage.
Your homeowner’s insurance may cover storm damage, including full replacement if the damage is extensive enough. We can work with your insurance adjuster to document the damage and make sure you’re getting what you’re entitled to. Don’t wait too long to file a claim—most policies have time limits, and delaying repairs can lead to more damage that won’t be covered.
Yes. If you’ve got an active leak or sudden storm damage, we respond as quickly as possible to prevent further damage to your home. Emergency roof repairs usually involve tarping the damaged area, sealing leaks temporarily, or replacing missing shingles to stop water from getting in.
We understand that roof emergencies don’t wait for business hours. Water damage gets worse fast, especially if it’s raining or snowing. Our goal is to stabilize the situation quickly so you can avoid interior damage to ceilings, walls, and insulation while we schedule a permanent repair.
Once we’ve handled the immediate problem, we’ll assess whether you need a more extensive repair or if it’s time to consider replacement. We’ll walk you through your options and help you make the decision that makes sense for your situation and budget.
Yes. We’re fully licensed and insured to perform roofing work throughout Massachusetts, including Salisbury and all of Essex County. We carry both general liability insurance and workers’ compensation coverage, which protects you if something goes wrong during the job.
We’re also an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor, which requires us to meet strict standards for licensing, insurance, and quality workmanship. That certification isn’t automatic—we had to prove our track record and maintain certain performance standards to earn it.
Before any work starts, we’re happy to provide proof of insurance and licensing. You should never hire a roofing contractor who can’t or won’t show you those documents. If someone gets hurt on your property and the contractor isn’t properly insured, you could be held liable.
