Your roof isn’t just shingles and nails. It’s what keeps ice dams from flooding your bedroom at 2 AM. It’s what stops wind from peeling back layers during a nor’easter. It’s the difference between a $500 repair and a $15,000 nightmare.
Northwood gets hit hard. Heavy snow loads, freeze-thaw cycles that crack asphalt, ice that backs up under shingles and finds every weak point. You need roofing that accounts for all of it.
That’s what we do. We install, repair, and maintain roofs that handle what New Hampshire throws at them. Not the cheapest option, but the one that actually lasts. Because when your roof fails, it doesn’t just fail a little.
Paradise Remodeling Inc is an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor. That’s not marketing fluff—it means we meet strict standards for quality and reliability that most roofers don’t qualify for.
We’ve worked in this region long enough to know what fails and why. Northwood homes deal with specific challenges: older construction, steep pitches, limited attic ventilation that accelerates ice dam formation. We account for those details because we’ve seen what happens when contractors don’t.
You’re not getting a crew that learned roofing on YouTube. You’re getting licensed, insured professionals who’ve handled hundreds of projects across New Hampshire and know how to do the work correctly the first time.
First, we come out and actually look at your roof. Not a five-minute glance from the driveway—we get up there, check the shingles, flashing, ventilation, and underlying structure. We document everything and explain what you’re dealing with in plain terms.
Then we give you options. Maybe it’s a repair. Maybe it’s time for a full replacement. We’ll tell you what makes sense based on the roof’s age, condition, and how long you plan to stay in the house. No upselling, just honest assessment.
Once you decide to move forward, we handle permits, materials, and scheduling. Our crew shows up on time, protects your property, completes the work, and cleans up like we were never there. You get a walkthrough at the end so you know exactly what was done.
If insurance is involved, we document everything they need. Storm damage claims require specific photos, measurements, and paperwork. We’ve done this enough times to know what adjusters look for.

We handle full roof replacements, storm damage repairs, leak detection, ice dam prevention, and ongoing roof maintenance. That includes asphalt shingles, metal roofing, flat roof systems, and specialty materials.
In Northwood, ice dams are a recurring issue. They form when heat escapes through your roof, melts snow, and refreezes at the eaves. That ice backs water under your shingles and into your walls. Prevention means proper attic insulation, ventilation, and sometimes heat cables. We assess your specific situation and recommend what actually works.
Emergency repairs happen. A tree branch punches through during a storm, or wind lifts a section of shingles and rain gets in. We respond quickly because water damage spreads fast. Temporary tarping, then permanent fixes once conditions allow.
Roof maintenance extends lifespan. Most Northwood roofs last 15-20 years with proper care—less if neglected. Regular inspections catch small problems before they become expensive ones. Replacing a few shingles costs $300. Replacing rotted decking costs $3,000.
Age is the first indicator. If your roof is over 20 years old and showing wear, replacement usually makes more sense than patching. Asphalt shingles in New Hampshire typically last 15-20 years because of weather stress.
Look for curling, cracked, or missing shingles. Check your attic for light coming through or water stains on the decking. If you’re seeing granules in your gutters, your shingles are breaking down.
Multiple leaks or widespread damage usually mean the entire system is compromised. One isolated leak from storm damage? That’s often repairable. But if we get up there and find issues across the whole roof, replacement prevents you from spending thousands on repairs that only buy you a few more years.
Most residential roof replacements in Northwood run between $8,000 and $18,000, depending on size, pitch, material, and complexity. A simple ranch with asphalt shingles costs less than a two-story colonial with multiple valleys and skylights.
Labor makes up about 60% of the cost. Materials vary—basic asphalt shingles run around $2 per square foot installed, while architectural shingles or metal roofing cost more but last longer.
Steep roofs cost more because they’re harder to work on safely. If we need to remove multiple layers of old shingles, that adds to disposal costs. Rotten decking that needs replacement adds $3-5 per square foot. We give you a detailed estimate upfront so there’s no confusion about what you’re paying for.
Most residential roof replacements take 2-4 days depending on size and weather. A straightforward 2,000 square foot home with good access usually gets done in two days. Larger homes, complex layouts, or bad weather stretch that timeline.
Day one is tear-off and prep. We remove old shingles, inspect and repair decking, install underlayment and ice barriers. Day two is shingle installation, flashing, ridge vents, and cleanup. If weather interrupts, we tarp everything and resume when conditions allow.
We don’t leave your home exposed overnight. Even if we can’t finish, we make sure you’re protected. And we don’t drag projects out—our crews stay on your job until it’s complete, then move to the next one.
Yes. We document damage with photos, measurements, and detailed reports that insurance adjusters need. Storm damage claims require specific evidence—we know what they’re looking for because we’ve worked with every major insurance company.
We’ll meet the adjuster on-site if needed and walk them through the damage. Sometimes they’ll approve a full replacement. Sometimes they’ll only cover repairs. We explain what your policy covers and what your options are either way.
One warning: after major storms, you’ll see contractors going door-to-door offering free inspections. Some are legitimate. Others create damage during their “inspection” or pressure you into signing contracts before you’ve talked to your insurance. We don’t operate that way. We assess honestly and let you make informed decisions.
Asphalt shingles are the most common because they balance cost and performance. Architectural shingles hold up better than basic three-tab in freeze-thaw cycles and typically come with 30-50 year warranties.
Metal roofing lasts longer—often 50+ years—and sheds snow better, which reduces ice dam risk. It costs more upfront but requires less maintenance. Good choice if you’re staying in the house long-term.
Avoid the cheapest materials. They fail faster in New Hampshire’s climate, and you’ll end up replacing them sooner. We use Mule Hide and Owens Corning products because they’re proven in harsh conditions. The warranty actually means something, and the materials hold up.
We handle maintenance, though most homeowners don’t think about it until there’s a problem. Regular inspections catch issues early—loose flashing, worn sealant around vents, damaged shingles that haven’t started leaking yet.
Maintenance includes cleaning debris from valleys and gutters, checking attic ventilation, inspecting for animal damage, and addressing minor repairs before they escalate. A yearly inspection costs a few hundred dollars and can prevent thousands in damage.
After we install or repair your roof, we’ll remind you when it’s time for a checkup. Most roofs benefit from inspection every 2-3 years, or after major storms. It’s not a moneymaker for us—it’s just smart homeownership that extends your roof’s lifespan and protects your investment.
