You shouldn’t have to check the weather forecast with dread. A solid roof means you sleep through thunderstorms instead of listening for drips. It means your attic stays dry when snow melts, and your energy bills don’t spike because heat’s escaping through damaged shingles.
When your roof works the way it should, you stop thinking about it. No more buckets in the hallway. No more calling around for quotes during an emergency. No more wondering if that dark spot on the ceiling is getting bigger.
That’s what proper roof repair gets you. Not just patched shingles, but actual peace of mind. We fix the problem at the source so you’re not dealing with the same leak next spring. Chester homes face ice dams, wind damage, and the kind of temperature swings that crack older roofing materials. We account for all of it.
Paradise Remodeling Inc isn’t new to New Hampshire winters. We’ve spent over a decade repairing and replacing roofs across Chester and the surrounding area. Our crews understand what ice dams do to your roof edge, how wind lifts shingles on older homes, and why proper ventilation matters when you’re dealing with attic condensation.
We’re an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor, which means we meet strict installation standards and back our work with real warranties. We also use Mule Hide roofing products for their durability in harsh climates. You’re not getting experimental materials or shortcuts.
Chester’s a small town. Word gets around when a contractor does sloppy work or disappears after taking a deposit. We’re still here because we show up, do the job right, and answer the phone when you call back six months later with a question.
First, we come out and actually look at your roof. Not a quick glance from the driveway—we get up there and inspect the damage, check the surrounding area, and figure out what’s causing the problem. You get photos and a clear explanation of what needs fixing.
Then we give you a straightforward estimate. No hidden fees or vague line items. If it’s an emergency situation like a storm tearing off shingles or a leak that’s actively dripping, we can often start repairs the same day or next day. For scheduled work, we coordinate a time that works for you.
During the repair, we protect your property. Tarps go down, debris gets cleaned up daily, and we don’t leave nails in your driveway. The crew works efficiently because they’ve done this hundreds of times. Once the work’s done, we walk you through what we fixed and what you should keep an eye on going forward. Then we clean up completely and haul everything away. You shouldn’t have to deal with leftover materials or mystery charges after we leave.

We handle everything from minor leak repairs to major storm damage restoration. That includes replacing damaged shingles, fixing flashing around chimneys and vents, repairing roof valleys where water collects, and addressing ice dam damage along your roof edge. If your decking is rotted underneath, we replace that too—not just slap new shingles over a bad foundation.
Chester gets hit with heavy snow loads every winter. We reinforce weak spots and make sure your roof structure can handle the weight. We also address ventilation issues that lead to ice dams in the first place. Proper airflow in your attic keeps temperatures consistent and prevents that freeze-thaw cycle that destroys roofs.
Emergency roof repair is available when you need it. A tarp isn’t a permanent solution, but we’ll get one up fast to stop active leaks while we schedule the full repair. We work with your insurance company if the damage is from a covered event like wind or hail. You’ll get documentation and photos that help your claim go through without hassle. All repairs come with our workmanship warranty on top of manufacturer warranties for materials.
Most roof repairs in Chester run between $380 and $1,800 depending on the extent of damage and materials needed. A simple shingle replacement after wind damage might cost $400 to $600. Ice dam repairs that involve replacing damaged decking and shingles can run $1,200 to $1,500. Major storm damage requiring structural work can push higher.
The big variable is what’s happening underneath the surface. Sometimes what looks like a small leak is actually widespread rot that needs addressing. We don’t know the full scope until we inspect, which is why we always look before quoting. You’ll get a detailed estimate that breaks down materials and labor so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
Keep in mind that roof replacement costs significantly more—typically $5,890 to $12,800 for a full tear-off and reinstall. If your roof is older and you’re facing repeated repairs, replacement might actually save you money long-term. We’ll be honest about which route makes more sense for your situation.
Ice dams form when heat escaping from your attic melts snow on your roof. That water runs down to the cold roof edge and refreezes, creating a dam. More water backs up behind it, gets under your shingles, and leaks into your house. It’s a common problem in Chester because of our temperature swings and heavy snowfall.
Fixing ice dam damage means replacing any shingles and decking that got damaged by the water intrusion. But the real fix is preventing them from forming again. That involves improving attic insulation so less heat escapes, adding proper ventilation to keep your roof deck cold, and sometimes installing ice and water shield along the roof edge for extra protection.
We also look at your gutters. Clogged gutters make ice dams worse by trapping water at the roof edge. If your attic ventilation is inadequate or your insulation is thin, we’ll tell you. Some homeowners just want the immediate damage fixed. Others want to solve the root cause. Either way, you’ll know what your options are and what each approach costs.
For true emergencies—active leaks, storm damage, or missing shingles exposing your roof deck—we typically respond within 24 hours. If you call in the morning and we have a crew available, we can often get someone out the same day to tarp the area and stop further damage.
The temporary fix happens fast. The permanent repair gets scheduled based on weather, material availability, and our current workload. But you won’t be left with water pouring into your house while you wait. We secure the area first, then coordinate the full repair when conditions allow.
Chester weather doesn’t always cooperate. We can’t install shingles in heavy rain or when temperatures drop below freezing—the adhesive won’t seal properly. If conditions aren’t right for a permanent fix, we make sure your temporary protection is solid and check back regularly until we can complete the work. You’ll always know the timeline and what to expect next.
Yes, we work with insurance companies regularly. If your roof damage is from wind, hail, or falling trees, your homeowners policy likely covers the repair. We document everything with photos and detailed notes that support your claim. Many insurance adjusters actually prefer working with established contractors who know what information they need.
Here’s how it typically works: you file the claim with your insurance company. They send an adjuster to assess the damage. We can meet the adjuster on-site to walk through the damage together, or we can provide our own assessment if the adjuster comes separately. Once your claim is approved, we complete the work and bill according to the approved estimate.
You’re responsible for your deductible, and sometimes there’s negotiation if the insurance estimate seems low. We advocate for proper repairs, not shortcuts. If the adjuster missed damage or underestimated the scope, we document it and work with you to get the claim adjusted. We’ve done this enough times to know what insurance companies require and how to make the process as smooth as possible for you.
Roof repair addresses specific damage—replacing torn shingles, fixing a leak around a chimney, repairing storm damage in one section. Roof replacement means tearing off all the old shingles and installing a completely new roof. Repair makes sense when damage is localized and your roof still has useful life left. Replacement makes sense when your roof is old, failing in multiple areas, or when repair costs are approaching replacement costs.
Most asphalt shingle roofs last 20 to 25 years in New Hampshire. If your roof is 15 years old and you’re fixing a small leak, repair is the obvious choice. If your roof is 22 years old and you’re on your third repair in two years, replacement probably makes more financial sense. You’re not throwing good money after bad.
We’ll tell you honestly which situation you’re in. Sometimes homeowners want to squeeze a few more years out of an aging roof, and that’s fine—we’ll repair it. Other times they’re surprised to learn their roof has plenty of life left and doesn’t need replacing yet. We’re not here to sell you a new roof if repairs will do the job. But we’re also not going to patch a failing roof repeatedly when you’d be better off replacing it once.
We primarily use Owens Corning and Mule Hide roofing products because they hold up well in New Hampshire’s climate. For shingle repairs, we match your existing shingles as closely as possible in color and style. If your shingles are discontinued, we find the closest match and blend the repair area so it’s not obvious from the ground.
For underlayment and ice and water shield, we use high-quality synthetic materials that resist tearing and provide better protection than old-style felt paper. Flashing repairs get done with aluminum or copper depending on what’s already there and what your budget allows. We don’t mix incompatible materials that will corrode or fail prematurely.
If your roof has unique materials—slate, tile, metal—we handle those too, though they require different techniques and specialized knowledge. Chester has some older homes with slate roofs that need careful attention. We’re not going to walk all over your slate and crack tiles. We know how to work on those roofs properly. Whatever your roof is made of, we use materials rated for New England weather and install them according to manufacturer specifications so your warranties stay valid.
