You’re dealing with a roof that’s seen too many Massachusetts winters. Ice dams in January, wind-driven rain in March, summer heat that bakes your shingles until they crack. Every season brings something new to worry about.
A solid roof means you’re not scrambling for buckets when it rains. You’re not watching the forecast with dread. You’re not wondering if that stain on the ceiling is getting bigger.
You get a roof built to handle what Saugus weather throws at it. Materials rated for Class IV hail and winds up to 165 MPH. Installation done by people who’ve been doing this since 2006, who know exactly how snow sits on a roof near Breakheart Reservation and where ice dams form on homes around the Iron Works.
Your home value stays protected. Your energy bills drop because your attic isn’t leaking heat. You stop thinking about your roof entirely, which is exactly how it should be.
We’re locally owned and operated, serving Saugus and the surrounding Lynn area for nearly two decades. We hold the proper Home Improvement Contractor license, carry full liability insurance and workers’ comp, and we’re an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor.
That last part matters because it means we’ve met strict requirements for quality and service. We’re not the crew that shows up, tears off your roof, then disappears when problems arise.
We know Saugus. We know how winter temperatures around 20°F and 40 inches of annual snowfall affect roofing systems. We know the building permit requirements before work starts. We know which materials hold up and which ones fail after five years. You’re working with people who understand what your home needs because we’ve seen hundreds of roofs in this area.
First, we come out and actually look at your roof. Not a five-minute glance from the driveway. We’re checking shingles, flashing, ventilation, and looking for the kind of damage that leads to bigger problems if ignored.
You get a clear quote. Labor costs are separated from materials. We provide receipts for everything we buy. No hidden fees for “standard supplies” or surprise charges when the job’s done.
We pull the required building permit before starting work. Everything’s supervised by licensed professionals because that’s the law in Saugus, and it protects you if something goes wrong.
During installation, we’re tearing off old materials, inspecting the decking underneath, replacing anything that’s rotted or compromised, then installing your new roof with proper underlayment and ventilation. We leave extra materials on-site in case you need them later.
After we’re done, we walk the property to make sure every nail is picked up. And if you have questions three months later, we’re still picking up the phone.
Ready to get started?
You’re getting roofing materials designed for New England weather. Mule Hide products that handle temperature swings. Owens Corning shingles with algae resistance built in because moss and lichen love Saugus roofs. Metal roofing options if you want something that sheds snow and lasts 50 years.
We handle emergency repairs when storms roll through. Leaking roofs from damaged shingles or cracked flashing get fixed fast because water damage and mold don’t wait. Ice dam removal when winter hits hard and snow piles up.
You’re also getting energy-efficient installation. Proper insulation and ventilation mean your HVAC system isn’t working overtime. That cuts your utility bills, especially during summer months when temperatures hit 85°F and your attic turns into an oven.
Every job includes storm damage assessment if you’re filing an insurance claim. We know what adjusters look for. We document everything. And we’re here in Saugus after the work’s complete, not operating out of a truck from three states away.
Most roof replacements in Saugus run between $8,000 and $20,000 depending on size, pitch, and materials. A standard 2,000 square foot home with asphalt shingles typically falls in the $10,000 to $15,000 range.
That number moves up if you’re dealing with multiple layers of old shingles that need removal, rotted decking that needs replacement, or a steep pitch that makes the work slower and more dangerous. Material costs jumped 6-10% in 2025, and labor costs in Massachusetts are higher than most states because our roofers are among the highest paid in the country.
Metal roofing costs more upfront but lasts decades longer. You’re looking at $15,000 to $25,000 for most homes, but you’re also getting a roof that’s recyclable, sheds snow, and rarely needs maintenance. We give you honest pricing with labor separated from materials, so you know exactly where your money goes.
Yes. All roofing work in Saugus requires a building permit before you start, and the work must be supervised by a licensed professional.
Permit fees are calculated based on your project cost and scope. The town needs to verify that work meets Massachusetts building codes, especially for structural integrity and fire safety. Skipping the permit might save you a couple hundred dollars now, but it creates major problems when you sell your home or file an insurance claim.
We handle permit applications as part of our service. It’s not complicated, but it does require knowing local requirements and having the proper licensing. Unlicensed contractors often skip permits entirely, which leaves you holding the liability if something goes wrong. You want this done right from the start.
If your roof is under 15 years old and you’re seeing isolated damage—a few missing shingles after a storm, a small leak from damaged flashing—repair usually makes sense. If your roof is over 20 years old, showing widespread curling or cracking, or leaking in multiple spots, replacement is the smarter move.
Asphalt shingles typically last 20-25 years in Massachusetts. Our weather accelerates wear. Ice dams, heavy snow, summer heat, and UV exposure all break down materials faster than in milder climates. If you’re patching the same roof every couple years, you’re spending money that should go toward replacement.
We’ll tell you honestly what you need. Sometimes that’s a $500 repair. Sometimes it’s a full tear-off. We’re not pushing you toward the bigger job if it’s not necessary, because we want you calling us again in five years when you actually do need that replacement.
Asphalt shingles with algae resistance are the most common choice because they balance cost and performance. You’re looking at 20-25 year lifespan, decent wind resistance, and they handle our temperature swings reasonably well.
Metal roofing is growing in popularity for good reason. It sheds snow instead of letting it pile up and create ice dams. It’s rated for extreme wind and hail. It lasts 40-50 years with minimal maintenance. The upfront cost is higher, but you’re likely never replacing that roof again.
Both options need proper installation to perform. That means adequate ventilation so your attic doesn’t trap heat and moisture. It means ice and water shield in valleys and along eaves where ice dams form. It means flashing that’s sealed correctly around chimneys and vents. The material matters, but installation matters more. We use Mule Hide and Owens Corning products because they’re proven in New England conditions.
Most residential roof replacements take two to four days depending on size, complexity, and weather. A straightforward ranch with easy access might be done in two days. A larger colonial with steep pitches and multiple valleys might take four.
Weather delays are common in Massachusetts. We’re not working in heavy rain or high winds because that’s unsafe and produces poor results. If a storm rolls through mid-project, we’ll secure everything with tarps and wait it out.
The timeline also depends on what we find when we tear off the old roof. If the decking underneath is solid, we keep moving. If we find rot or structural issues, we’re stopping to fix those properly before continuing. You don’t want a new roof installed over compromised decking. We’ll communicate immediately if we find problems and give you a clear timeline for addressing them.
Hire licensed. Every time. Unlicensed roofers might quote you less, but you’re losing legal protections, insurance coverage, and access to the Massachusetts Home Improvement Contractor Guaranty Fund if something goes wrong.
Unlicensed contractors frequently take payment upfront and disappear. They cut corners on materials and installation because they’re not accountable to anyone. When your roof fails in three years, they’re long gone and you’re paying someone else to fix their mistakes.
Licensed contractors carry liability insurance and workers’ comp. If someone gets hurt on your property, you’re protected. If work doesn’t meet code, you have recourse. Our Home Improvement Contractor license is verifiable through Mass.gov, and we’re an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor, which requires meeting strict quality standards. You’re not just buying a roof—you’re buying accountability and protection.
