Hear from Our Customers
You stop wondering if that ceiling stain is going to spread. You stop hearing drips during rainstorms or worrying about ice dams every February. Your energy bills drop because heat isn’t escaping through gaps in worn shingles.
A properly installed roof means you’re not calling for emergency repairs at the worst possible time. It means your home value holds steady, your insurance stays valid, and you can actually enjoy a nor’easter from inside without stress.
That’s what happens when the work is done right from the start. No shortcuts. No “we’ll patch it for now.” Just a roof system built to handle 60+ inches of snow, freeze-thaw cycles, and everything coastal New Hampshire throws at it.
Paradise Remodeling Inc started as a general contractor in Massachusetts and earned Owens Corning Preferred Contractor status by meeting their requirements for quality and reliability. That certification isn’t just a badge – it gives you access to better warranties and premium materials most roofers can’t offer.
We’ve worked on hundreds of homes across the Seacoast region. New Castle properties come with their own challenges: coastal wind exposure, older housing stock from the ’70s and ’80s, and homeowners who expect quality because their investment demands it. We get that.
You’re not hiring a crew that just showed up last year. You’re working with a licensed, insured contractor who knows what a New Hampshire roof needs to survive and how to install it correctly the first time.
First, we come out for a free inspection and estimate. No pressure, no gimmicks. We’ll get on your roof, check the decking, look at ventilation, and tell you what actually needs to happen – repair or replacement.
If you move forward, we handle everything: permits, material delivery, timeline coordination. Our crew removes old shingles down to the deck, replaces any damaged wood, installs proper underlayment and ice-and-water barrier where it matters, then puts down your new roof system. We’re talking about Owens Corning architectural shingles rated for New England weather, not builder-grade materials that fail in ten years.
Cleanup happens daily, and we do a final walkthrough with you before calling it done. You’ll have documentation for your warranty, photos of the work, and a roof that’s built to last 20+ years minimum. The whole process typically takes two to four days depending on size and complexity, weather permitting.

Every roofing project starts with a thorough inspection – not just a glance from the ground. We check flashing around chimneys and vents, examine shingle condition, assess attic ventilation, and look for signs of ice dam damage or poor previous repairs.
For New Castle homes specifically, we pay close attention to coastal wind exposure and salt air effects. Properties near the water face different challenges than inland homes. We also account for the fact that most houses here were built in the late ’70s, which means original roofs are long past their lifespan and may have outdated ventilation systems.
Our roof replacement includes complete tear-off, deck inspection and repair, proper ventilation upgrades if needed, premium underlayment, ice-and-water barrier in valleys and eaves, and Owens Corning Duration or Oakridge shingles with extended warranty coverage. You’re also getting a crew that understands how to prevent ice dams through proper installation – not just slapping shingles on and hoping for the best. For repairs, we fix the actual problem, not just the symptom you’re seeing inside.
For most New Castle homes, you’re looking at $15,000 to $35,000+ depending on size, pitch, and material choice. A typical 2,000 square foot home with architectural shingles runs around $18,000 to $25,000. That includes complete tear-off, any necessary deck repairs, proper underlayment and ice-and-water barrier, ventilation upgrades, and quality Owens Corning materials.
Higher-end homes or complex roof lines with multiple valleys, dormers, or steep pitches will cost more. Metal roofing runs significantly higher but lasts 40+ years and prevents ice dams better than asphalt. The median home value in New Castle is over $1.6 million, so most homeowners here choose premium materials that protect their investment rather than going with the cheapest option.
We provide free estimates that break down exactly what you’re paying for. No hidden fees, no surprise charges when we find something during tear-off. You’ll know the number before we start.
Ice dams form when heat escapes through your roof, melts snow, and that water refreezes at the eaves. The real fix isn’t heat cables – it’s proper attic insulation and ventilation. Your attic should stay cold in winter so snow doesn’t melt unevenly.
During a roof replacement, we install ice-and-water barrier along the eaves and in valleys. This creates a waterproof seal that protects your home even if ice dams do form. We also assess your attic ventilation and recommend upgrades if needed – ridge vents, soffit vents, proper airflow. Most older New Castle homes don’t have adequate ventilation by today’s standards.
If you’re not replacing your whole roof, you can still improve things. Add attic insulation to keep heat inside your living space. Make sure soffit vents aren’t blocked. Consider heat cables as a temporary measure, but understand they’re treating the symptom, not the cause. A properly installed roof with good ventilation shouldn’t need them.
Standard asphalt shingles last 15 to 20 years in New Hampshire – shorter than the 20 to 25 years you’d get in milder climates. Our weather is brutal. You’re dealing with 60+ inches of snow annually, 40+ freeze-thaw cycles each winter, ice dams, nor’easters, and occasional hurricane remnants.
Architectural-grade shingles like Owens Corning Duration hold up better than basic three-tab shingles. They’re thicker, more wind-resistant, and handle freeze-thaw cycles without cracking as quickly. Metal roofing lasts 40 to 50 years and sheds snow better, which is why you see more of it going in around here.
The actual lifespan depends on installation quality as much as material choice. A roof installed with proper ventilation, adequate underlayment, and correct flashing will outlast a cheaper job every time. Most New Castle homes were built in the late ’70s, so if you haven’t replaced your roof in the last 15 years, you’re on borrowed time.
Start with licensing and insurance – non-negotiable. Any contractor working on your $1.6 million home should carry proper liability coverage and workers’ comp. Ask to see certificates, not just their word.
Manufacturer certifications matter. Our Owens Corning Preferred Contractor status means we’ve met their standards for installation quality and customer service. It also gives you access to better warranties. A 50-year material warranty doesn’t mean much if the installation fails in ten years because the contractor didn’t know what they were doing.
Check how long they’ve been in business and ask for local references – actual New Castle or Seacoast-area homeowners, not a list from three states away. Look at their process: do they do a thorough inspection, provide a detailed estimate, explain what they’re doing and why? Be skeptical of the lowest bid. You usually get what you pay for, and roof replacement isn’t where you want to cut corners.
Depends on age, damage extent, and what you’re trying to accomplish. If your roof is under ten years old and you’ve got localized damage from a storm or a small leak around flashing, repair makes sense. We can replace damaged shingles, fix flashing, seal problem areas.
If your roof is 15+ years old, has multiple leaks, shows widespread shingle deterioration, or you’re seeing granule loss across large sections, replacement is the smarter move. Repairs become a band-aid that buys you a year or two at best. You’ll spend money now and still need a new roof soon.
We’ll tell you honestly which situation you’re in. During our free inspection, we’ll show you what we’re seeing – photos of the damage, explanation of why it’s happening, and realistic options. Sometimes a repair gets you through another winter while you budget for replacement. Sometimes it’s throwing money away. We’re not going to sell you a new roof if you don’t need one, but we won’t pretend a patch job will last when it won’t.
Yes. We’ve worked with every major insurance carrier and know how to document damage properly. After a storm, we’ll inspect your roof and provide detailed photos and notes that support your claim – shingle damage, flashing issues, anything the adjuster needs to see.
Insurance companies sometimes lowball estimates or deny legitimate claims. We can meet with your adjuster on-site and walk them through what needs to happen. Our estimates are thorough and based on actual replacement costs, not the cheapest possible materials and shortcuts.
New Hampshire gets hit hard – hail, wind, ice dams, heavy snow loads. Your insurance should cover storm damage to your roof. We make sure you’re not leaving money on the table or accepting an inadequate settlement. Once the claim is approved, we handle the work according to the scope, so there’s no confusion about what’s covered. You’ve been paying premiums for situations exactly like this – we help you actually use that coverage.
