No more buckets in the hallway when it rains. No more wondering if that dark spot on the ceiling is getting worse. No more lying awake during storms hoping your roof holds.
When your roof is actually fixed—not patched over or “good enough for now”—you stop worrying about it. You’re not refreshing weather apps or moving furniture away from problem areas. Your energy bills stop creeping up because heat isn’t escaping through gaps you didn’t know existed.
A proper roof repair means the problem is solved, not postponed. It means you can sell your home without disclosing issues or scrambling for last-minute fixes. It means your insurance claim gets handled correctly if storm damage is involved, and you’re not left covering costs that should’ve been paid.
Paradise Remodeling Inc has been handling roof repairs in Haverhill and throughout Essex County since 2006. We’re an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor, which means we’ve met their standards for quality and reliability—not just once, but consistently.
We’re licensed with the Massachusetts Home Improvement Contractor board, fully insured, and we’ve worked on enough Haverhill homes to know exactly what winter does to roofs around here. Ice dams, thermal shock from temperature swings, wind damage from nor’easters—we’ve seen it all and fixed it all.
You’re not getting a crew that learned roofing from YouTube videos. You’re getting people who’ve been doing this long enough to spot problems before they become emergencies.
First, we come out and actually look at your roof. Not from the ground with binoculars—we get up there and inspect the damage, the surrounding area, and anything else that might be contributing to the problem. We take photos so you can see what we’re seeing.
Then we give you a written estimate that breaks down what needs to be fixed, why it needs to be fixed, and what it’s going to cost. No vague line items or surprise charges later. If your insurance is involved, we can work with them directly and document everything properly.
Once you approve the work, we schedule it as quickly as weather allows. For emergency roof repair situations—active leaks, storm damage, anything that’s causing immediate problems—we prioritize getting you covered and protected first, then handle the permanent fix.
The repair itself depends on what’s wrong, but whether it’s replacing damaged shingles, fixing flashing around chimneys and vents, addressing ice dam damage, or handling rot in the decking, we use quality materials and do it right. When we leave, you get documentation of what was done, photos of the completed work, and a contact number that actually gets answered if you have questions later.

Roof leak repair is our most common call, and it usually involves more than just the obvious wet spot. We trace the leak to its source—which is often several feet away from where you see water inside—then fix the entry point and any damage the water caused on its way through.
Storm damage repair covers everything from missing shingles after high winds to structural issues from fallen branches. Haverhill gets hit with serious weather, and we’ve handled repairs after every major storm in the last sixteen years. We know how to document damage for insurance claims and what adjusters look for.
Ice dam damage is huge around here. When ice builds up at your roof’s edge and forces water under the shingles, it can cause serious problems fast. We remove the ice safely, repair the water damage, and—just as important—identify why the ice dam formed so you can prevent it next time.
We also handle flashing repairs around chimneys, skylights, and vents, shingle replacement for wind or hail damage, and emergency tarping when you need immediate protection. Every repair includes an inspection of the surrounding area because one problem often points to others developing nearby.
Most roof repairs in Massachusetts run between $400 and $3,500 depending on what’s damaged and how extensive the fix needs to be. A straightforward leak repair where we’re replacing a few shingles and resealing flashing usually falls on the lower end. More involved repairs—like fixing ice dam damage that’s affected the decking, or replacing an entire section of roof after storm damage—cost more.
Roof leak repairs in Massachusetts average around $700, but that number doesn’t tell the whole story. A small leak caught early might cost $400 to fix. That same leak ignored for six months could turn into $3,000 worth of damage once you factor in rotted decking, damaged insulation, and interior repairs.
We give written estimates before starting any work, and we break down exactly what you’re paying for. If insurance is covering the repair, we document everything properly so you’re not stuck paying out of pocket for covered damage. The key is getting it looked at quickly—roof problems don’t improve with time, and they definitely don’t get cheaper to fix.
If water is actively coming into your house, you need emergency roof repair right now. Same goes for large sections of missing shingles, visible holes in the roof, or major storm damage that’s left your home exposed to weather. These situations get worse by the hour, not by the day.
Signs that you need repair soon but maybe not this second include: dark spots or stains on your ceiling that are growing, shingles that are curling or cracked, granules from shingles collecting in your gutters, or light visible through your roof boards from the attic. These problems will become emergencies if you ignore them, but you have a small window to schedule proper repairs.
Here’s the thing about waiting—every day you delay gives water more time to work its way into places it shouldn’t be. A $600 shingle replacement becomes a $2,500 decking repair becomes a $5,000 interior restoration project. We’ve seen it happen dozens of times. When you notice a problem, get someone out to look at it. Even if it’s not urgent, you’ll know exactly what you’re dealing with and can plan accordingly instead of guessing.
Ice dams form when heat escapes from your attic, melts the snow on your roof, and that melted water runs down to the cold eaves where it refreezes. This creates a dam of ice that blocks proper drainage. When more snow melts, the water backs up under your shingles and leaks into your house.
The damage shows up as water stains on ceilings and walls, peeling paint, damaged insulation, and sometimes rotted roof decking if the problem’s been going on for a while. Ice dams can cost anywhere from $2,000 to $5,000 or more to repair once you factor in the water damage they cause—and that’s on top of removing the ice itself.
Fixing ice dam damage means removing the ice safely without damaging your roof further, repairing any shingles that were lifted or torn, replacing damaged decking if necessary, and addressing the water damage inside. But the real fix is preventing the next one. That usually involves improving attic insulation and ventilation so heat stops escaping in the first place. We inspect for the root cause during every ice dam repair because just fixing the damage without addressing why it happened means you’ll be calling us again next winter.
Simple repairs—replacing a few damaged shingles, resealing flashing, fixing a small leak—usually take a few hours to half a day once we’re on site. More extensive repairs like replacing damaged decking, fixing multiple problem areas, or addressing significant storm damage might take one to three days depending on the scope.
Emergency repairs where we’re tarping or temporarily sealing your roof to stop active water intrusion happen as fast as possible, often the same day you call. The permanent fix gets scheduled once we’ve assessed everything and you’ve approved the estimate. Weather plays a role too—we can’t install shingles in heavy rain or when temperatures drop too low for the adhesive to seal properly.
The timeline also depends on whether insurance is involved. If you’re filing a claim, there’s usually a delay while the adjuster inspects the damage and approves the work. We can often do temporary protection immediately and then complete the full repair once everything’s approved. What matters most is that you’re not left with an exposed or leaking roof while paperwork gets sorted out. We prioritize getting your home protected, then we handle the details.
If the damage was caused by a storm, fallen tree, or other sudden event covered by your homeowner’s policy, you should file a claim. Storm damage, wind damage, and hail damage are typically covered. Wear and tear from age or lack of maintenance usually isn’t.
Here’s what to consider: if the repair costs less than your deductible, paying out of pocket makes sense because you won’t get anything from insurance anyway. If it’s significantly more than your deductible, file the claim. The gray area is when the repair cost is close to your deductible—then you’re weighing the claim against potential rate increases.
We can help you document damage properly whether you’re filing a claim or not. Insurance adjusters look for specific things, and having detailed photos and documentation makes the process smoother. We’ve worked with every major insurance company and know what they require. One thing to avoid: don’t let a contractor pressure you to file a claim if you’re not sure damage is covered, and definitely don’t sign anything that assigns your insurance benefits to the contractor before you’ve talked to your insurance company. Get the damage assessed, understand what’s covered, then decide. We’ll work with whatever you choose.
Check three things immediately: active Massachusetts Home Improvement Contractor license, current insurance, and references you can actually contact. If a contractor can’t provide all three without hesitation, you’re done talking to them. No exceptions.
Red flags include pressure to sign immediately, suspiciously low bids that are way below everyone else’s estimates, vague answers about what’s included in the price, requests for large upfront payments before work starts, and reluctance to provide a written contract with specific details. Trust your gut—if something feels off, it probably is.
Good signs include written estimates that break down materials and labor separately, willingness to answer questions without getting defensive, proper documentation for insurance claims if needed, and references from recent jobs you can verify. Certification as an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor or similar manufacturer credentials shows the contractor meets industry standards consistently. Check their Better Business Bureau profile and online reviews, but remember that even great contractors occasionally get complaints—what matters is how they responded and resolved issues. You’re trusting someone with a major component of your home. Take the time to verify they’re legitimate and capable before they start tearing into your roof.
