Hear from Our Customers
You’ve noticed the leak. Maybe it’s a small water stain on your ceiling, or you heard dripping during the last storm. You’re wondering if it’s urgent, how much it’ll cost, and whether you can wait until spring.
Here’s what you need to know: roof damage doesn’t get better on its own. Water finds its way into places you can’t see—insulation, framing, electrical systems. What starts as a $500 repair can turn into a $15,000 problem if you wait too long.
We handle roof repair the way it should be done. Fast assessment, honest recommendations, and work that actually holds up against New England weather. You get a roof that protects your home, not a temporary patch that fails next winter.
Most repairs are completed in a day or two. You’re not waiting weeks for someone to show up, and you’re not dealing with the same problem again next season.
We’ve been serving Andover and the surrounding Massachusetts communities since 2006. We’re an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor, which means we’ve met strict standards for quality work and customer service that most roofing companies don’t qualify for.
We know what Andover roofs deal with. Your home is likely worth over $700,000, and with a median construction year of 1938 in the town center, many properties here have roofs that are showing their age. Massachusetts has the highest percentage of roofs with less than four years of remaining life in the country, and that means you’re facing 50% more damage during severe weather compared to newer roofs.
When you call us, you’re working with a local team that understands ice dams, thermal shock from temperature swings, and the kind of storm damage that insurance companies see constantly in this area. We’re not learning on your roof—we’ve already seen what you’re dealing with hundreds of times.
First, we come out and actually look at your roof. Not just the obvious damage—we’re checking for issues you wouldn’t spot from the ground. Ice dam damage along the edges, loose or missing shingles, deteriorating flashing around chimneys and vents, and any signs that water’s already getting into your decking.
You get a clear explanation of what’s wrong and what needs to happen. If it’s an emergency, we can often start the same day. If it’s something that can wait, we’ll tell you that too and explain what to watch for.
The repair itself depends on what your roof needs. We’re replacing damaged shingles, sealing leaks, fixing flashing, addressing ventilation issues that cause ice dams, and making sure the repair blends with your existing roof. We use quality materials that match what’s already up there, and we don’t cut corners on the details that determine whether a repair lasts two years or twenty.
When we’re done, you get documentation for your records and insurance if needed. Most homeowners insurance policies in Massachusetts require notification within 24 hours of discovering damage, and we help you with that process if a storm caused the problem.

Roof repair in Andover isn’t one-size-fits-all. Your home faces specific challenges based on its age, roof type, and exposure to weather. Here’s what we actually do when we repair your roof.
Storm damage repair is common here. Massachusetts experienced 45 confirmed billion-dollar weather disasters between 1980 and 2024, including severe storms, tropical cyclones, and winter events. When wind rips off shingles or hail damages your roof surface, we’re replacing affected areas and checking for hidden damage that shows up later if it’s not addressed now.
Ice dam damage is a major issue in Andover winters. When warm air from your attic melts snow on your roof, water runs to the edges and refreezes, blocking drainage and forcing water back under your shingles. We repair the damage and address the ventilation or insulation issues causing the problem so you’re not dealing with it every winter.
Leak repair means finding where water’s getting in and fixing it properly. That usually involves more than slapping some tar on a shingle. We’re checking flashing, valleys, penetrations, and making sure the repair actually stops water instead of just slowing it down.
You also get an honest assessment of your roof’s remaining life. If you’re a few years away from needing replacement, we’ll tell you that so you can plan accordingly. If your roof has plenty of life left, we’ll make sure the repair extends that timeline instead of shortening it with sloppy work.
Most roof repairs in Andover run between $400 and $1,500, depending on what’s damaged and how much work is involved. A few missing shingles might cost $400-$600. Flashing repair around a chimney typically runs $600-$1,000. More extensive storm damage or leak repair that requires replacing sections of decking can reach $1,500-$3,000.
Emergency roof repair costs more because you need someone now, not next week. If you’re calling during or right after a storm, expect to pay a premium for immediate response. That said, emergency repairs often prevent much larger expenses—water damage to your interior, insulation, or electrical systems can easily cost $5,000-$15,000 if you wait.
Your actual cost depends on your roof type, pitch, height, and accessibility. A steep roof that’s three stories up costs more to repair than a simple ranch. We give you a clear price before we start so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
If your roof is less than 15 years old and the damage is localized, repair almost always makes sense. You’re fixing the problem for a fraction of replacement cost, and you’re getting years of additional life from your roof.
If your roof is over 20 years old, has multiple problem areas, or you’re calling for the third repair in two years, replacement is probably the smarter move. At that point you’re throwing money at a roof that’s near the end of its lifespan anyway. Massachusetts has the highest percentage of roofs with less than four years of remaining life, and once you’re in that window, severe weather causes 50% more damage than it would to a newer roof.
We’ll tell you honestly which option makes sense for your situation. If repair buys you five more solid years and you’re planning to sell soon, that’s useful information. If you’re looking at another $2,000 in repairs next year on a 25-year-old roof, replacement is the better investment. We’re not pushing you toward the bigger job—we’re giving you the information you need to make the right call for your home and budget.
Most roof repairs in Andover take four to eight hours, and we’re usually done in a single day. Simple shingle replacement might take half a day. More involved repairs like fixing flashing, addressing ice dam damage, or replacing sections of damaged decking can take a full day or occasionally two.
Weather affects the timeline. We can’t install shingles in heavy rain or when temperatures drop below freezing, because the adhesive won’t seal properly. If we start a repair and weather moves in, we’ll make sure your roof is protected with temporary covering until we can finish the work properly.
Emergency repairs happen faster. If you’ve got active leaking or storm damage that’s exposing your home to the elements, we prioritize getting you weathertight within hours, then return to complete the full repair when conditions allow. You’re not sitting there with a tarp on your roof for three weeks waiting for us to come back.
Insurance typically covers roof damage from storms, hail, wind, falling trees, and other sudden events. They don’t cover damage from wear and tear, lack of maintenance, or roofs that are simply old and failing. The key factor is whether the damage was caused by a covered peril or by age and neglect.
Massachusetts homeowners insurance policies require you to report damage quickly—usually within 24 hours of discovery. If a storm damages your roof on Tuesday and you don’t call your insurance company until the following week, you might have problems with your claim. We help you document the damage properly so your claim has the best chance of approval.
Your deductible matters. If the repair costs $800 and your deductible is $1,000, insurance won’t pay anything. If storm damage requires $3,500 in repairs and your deductible is $1,000, you’ll pay the first thousand and insurance covers the rest. We work with insurance companies regularly and can help you understand what to expect before you file a claim. Sometimes it makes more sense to pay out of pocket for smaller repairs rather than filing a claim that might affect your rates.
Ice dams form when heat from your attic warms your roof and melts snow, even when it’s freezing outside. That melted water runs down to your roof’s edge, where there’s no warm attic underneath, and refreezes. Ice builds up along the edge, creating a dam that blocks drainage. When more snow melts, the water has nowhere to go, so it backs up under your shingles and leaks into your home.
The immediate fix is removing the ice dam and repairing any damage it caused to your shingles, underlayment, or interior. But that doesn’t solve the underlying problem. Ice dams happen because your attic is too warm, which usually means you need better insulation, better ventilation, or both.
We address both issues. First, we repair the damage—replacing shingles, fixing any water damage to your decking, and making sure your roof edge is properly protected. Then we look at why it happened. If your attic insulation is inadequate or your roof ventilation isn’t working properly, we’ll explain what needs to change so you’re not dealing with ice dams every winter. Massachusetts winters are harsh enough without paying for the same repair every February.
Yes. Roofing emergencies don’t wait for business hours, and neither do we. If you’ve got active leaking, storm damage that’s exposed your home to weather, or structural damage that needs immediate attention, we respond quickly to get your home protected.
Emergency roof repair usually means temporary measures first—tarping damaged areas, stopping active leaks, securing loose materials—followed by permanent repairs as soon as weather and conditions allow. You’re not left with water pouring into your house while we schedule a convenient time to come out next week.
Call us when you discover the problem. The faster we can assess and protect your home, the less secondary damage you’ll deal with. Water doesn’t just damage your roof—it damages insulation, drywall, flooring, and belongings. Every hour matters when you’ve got an active leak or exposure to the elements. We’ve been handling emergency roofing situations in Andover since 2006, and we know how to prioritize what needs to happen right now versus what can wait until we return for the complete repair.
