A leak in your ceiling means water’s already traveled through your roof deck, insulation, and framing. What starts as a $500 repair becomes $3,000 in structural work if you wait two months.
Coastal homes deal with conditions that accelerate wear. The salt air corrodes flashing and fasteners faster than you’d see ten miles inland. Ice dams form in valleys and dormers, forcing water under shingles that were designed to shed it, not hold it.
You need someone who shows up when they say they will, assesses the real problem without upselling, and fixes it right the first time. That’s what keeps your home dry and your repair bills reasonable.
We’ve been handling roof repairs and replacements across Ipswich since 2012. We’re an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor, which means we meet their standards for quality and reliability, not just ours.
Our crews know what coastal weather does to roofs. We’ve repaired storm damage on historic homes near the Ipswich River and replaced entire systems on properties along Argilla Road. We understand how different roof types respond to the conditions here.
You’ll work with the same team from estimate to cleanup. No subcontractors. No surprises. Just clear communication and work that holds up.
First, we schedule an inspection within 24-48 hours for emergencies, or at your convenience for planned work. We get on the roof, check the attic if needed, and identify every issue, not just the obvious one.
You get a written estimate that breaks down materials, labor, and timeline. We explain what needs immediate attention versus what can wait. If your insurance is involved, we document everything with photos and measurements.
Once you approve, we order materials and schedule the work. Most repairs take one to three days depending on scope. We protect your landscaping, clean up daily, and do a final walkthrough with you before we consider the job done. If you have questions two months later, you can still call us.

We handle leak repairs from damaged shingles, worn flashing, or failed sealant. Storm damage is common here—missing shingles, punctures from branches, and wind-lifted sections that compromise the underlayment.
Ice dam damage shows up as water stains on ceilings, especially near dormers and skylights. We repair the interior damage, address the roof penetration, and recommend ventilation improvements if that’s what caused it. Flat roof sections on additions or porches need different materials and techniques than pitched roofs—we work with both.
Ipswich homes built before 1980 often have multiple roof layers. Sometimes we’re repairing over old cedar shakes or slate. We assess whether a repair will hold or if the underlying structure needs attention first. You need to know that before you spend money on a patch that fails in six months.
For active leaks, we typically inspect within 24 hours and complete emergency repairs the same day or next, depending on weather and materials needed. A tarp and temporary seal can stop water damage immediately while we order proper materials.
Standard repairs usually happen within a week of your call. The timeline depends on the extent of damage and whether we need specialty materials. A few missing shingles take a couple hours. Flashing replacement around a chimney takes half a day.
If we’re waiting on insurance approval or custom materials for a historic home, we’ll secure the area and keep you updated on timing. You won’t be left wondering when we’re coming back.
Small repairs like replacing damaged shingles or resealing flashing typically run $300-$800. Larger repairs involving multiple areas, structural work, or water damage remediation range from $1,500-$4,000.
Full roof replacements average $8,000-$15,000 for most Ipswich homes, depending on size, pitch, and materials. Coastal properties sometimes need upgraded fasteners and underlayment rated for high wind zones, which adds to material costs but prevent future problems.
We give you an itemized estimate before starting any work. If we find additional damage during the repair, we stop and discuss it with you before proceeding. You’ll know what you’re paying for and why.
Most policies cover sudden damage from storms, falling trees, or other events beyond normal wear. They typically don’t cover gradual deterioration or maintenance issues like old shingles that wore out naturally.
We document everything with photos and detailed notes that help with your claim. If an adjuster needs to inspect, we coordinate timing and walk them through what we found. We’ve worked with most major insurance companies and know what they require.
Your deductible applies to the total claim, not just the roof portion. If storm damage affected your roof, siding, and gutters, you pay one deductible for all of it. We can explain how that works and what makes sense to include in your claim.
If damage is localized to one area and your roof is less than 15 years old, repair usually makes sense. If you’re seeing problems in multiple spots, your shingles are curling or losing granules across the whole roof, or the roof is over 20 years old, replacement is often more cost-effective.
Coastal roofs in Ipswich typically need replacement around year 20-22, even if inland roofs of the same age have five years left. The salt air and weather are harder on materials. Multiple repairs on an aging roof add up fast.
We’ll tell you honestly what we’d do if it were our house. Sometimes a $2,000 repair buys you five more years. Sometimes it’s throwing money at a roof that needs replacing anyway. You’ll get our recommendation with the reasoning behind it.
Yes, we respond to emergency calls during and after storms, though we can’t safely work on roofs during active high winds or lightning. We’ll talk you through temporary measures you can take from inside, like containing water with buckets and moving valuables.
Once conditions allow, we tarp damaged areas and do temporary weatherproofing to prevent further damage. Permanent repairs happen as soon as we can safely complete them and get materials delivered. After major storms, supply chains get backed up—we keep common materials stocked for this reason.
We prioritize emergencies based on severity. An active leak into living space gets handled before cosmetic damage. If you’re in a dangerous situation with major water intrusion or structural concerns, we’ll get someone there as fast as safely possible.
Our labor warranty covers workmanship for five years on repairs and ten years on full replacements. Materials carry manufacturer warranties ranging from 10 years on basic shingles to 50 years on premium products—we’ll explain what comes with whatever we install.
If something fails because of how we installed it, we fix it at no cost. If it fails because a tree fell on it or a different part of the roof develops issues, that’s a separate repair. We’re clear about what’s covered.
As an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor, we can offer extended warranties on their products that cover both materials and labor. These transfer to new owners if you sell, which helps with resale value. We’ll go over warranty options during your estimate so you understand what protection you’re getting.
