When you’ve got water dripping into your living room or shingles scattered across the yard after a storm, you don’t need promises. You need someone who picks up the phone, shows up when they say they will, and actually fixes the problem.
That’s what matters. Not how long the repair takes to schedule, but whether it holds up through the next nor’easter. Not the sales pitch, but whether the person doing the work knows the difference between a quick patch and a real solution.
Lynn homes deal with salt air, coastal winds, and ice dams that most inland contractors never see. Your roof takes a beating here. Twenty years of sun, wind, rain, snow, and hail wear down even quality materials. Add in the humidity from being this close to the ocean, and small problems turn into expensive ones fast.
A roof repair done right means you’re not calling someone else in six months. It means the flashing actually keeps water out. It means your attic stays dry and your insulation does its job. That’s the outcome that matters.
We’ve been working in Lynn since 2006. We’re not a national franchise or a company that subcontracts your job to whoever’s available. When you call, you’re talking to the people who actually do the work.
Feliciano Gomez runs the company, and he’s on your job site. That matters when something unexpected comes up or when you have a question two months later. We’re licensed, insured, and we’ve handled everything from emergency storm repairs to full roof replacements on Lynn’s historic homes.
We know what Lynn Shore Drive wind does to shingles. We know how Red Rock Park’s elevation changes affect ice dam risk. We’ve worked on Victorians in the Diamond District and triple-deckers near the Lynnway. This isn’t theory—it’s what we do.
First, we actually look at your roof. Not a satellite image, not a guess from the driveway. We get up there, find the problem, and figure out what’s causing it. A leak in your ceiling could be bad flashing, damaged shingles, or poor ventilation creating condensation. We need to see it to know.
Then we tell you what needs to happen. If it’s a simple repair, we say that. If the damage is worse than it looks and you’re six months from needing a replacement anyway, we tell you that too. You get a clear explanation and a price that doesn’t change halfway through the job.
For emergency situations—active leaks, storm damage, missing shingles—we move fast. Most times we can get someone out within a day, sometimes the same day if you call early enough. We’ll do what’s needed to stop further damage, then come back to handle the permanent fix once we’ve got the right materials and weather window.
The actual repair depends on what’s wrong. Replacing damaged shingles takes a few hours. Fixing flashing around a chimney might take half a day. Addressing ventilation issues to prevent ice dams is more involved. We work efficiently, but we don’t rush and create new problems.
After we’re done, we clean up. Nails, old materials, debris—it all goes. And if you’ve got questions later or notice something that doesn’t look right, you call us. We’ll come back and make it right.

We handle the full scope of roof repair work. Shingle replacement for storm damage or wear. Flashing repairs around chimneys, skylights, and valleys where most leaks actually start. Flat roof repairs for the additions and garages common in Lynn’s older neighborhoods.
Emergency repairs when you need someone now, not next week. We’ll tarp and secure your roof to prevent water damage, then schedule the permanent fix. For insurance claims—wind damage, hail, fallen trees—we document everything and work with your adjuster. We’ve done this enough times to know what they need to see.
Ventilation work matters here. Lynn’s temperature swings create condensation problems in attics. Poor ventilation leads to ice dams in winter, which leads to leaks, which leads to rot. We install ridge vents, soffit vents, and attic fans when needed. It’s not the exciting part of roofing, but it’s what keeps your roof lasting its full lifespan.
We work on all materials. Asphalt shingles are most common and typically last 20-25 years in this climate. Metal roofing is gaining popularity for its durability in coastal conditions. Flat roofs need different approaches—EPDM, TPO, modified bitumen—and we’ve handled all of them on Lynn properties.
Most roof repairs in Massachusetts run between $400 and $3,500 depending on scope. Simple shingle replacement sits on the lower end. Structural repairs, extensive flashing work, or addressing multiple problem areas costs more. We give you the actual number before we start.
For active leaks, we typically respond within 24 hours, often same-day if you reach us in the morning. Emergency situations get priority because water damage gets exponentially worse the longer it sits.
When you call with an emergency, we’ll ask a few questions to understand severity—where’s the leak, how much water, is it actively raining. If it’s urgent, we’ll get someone out to tarp or temporarily seal the area to stop further damage. That might be the same day or next morning depending on weather and timing.
The permanent repair gets scheduled once we’ve assessed the full damage and have the right materials. Sometimes that happens immediately if it’s straightforward. Other times we need to order specific shingles to match your roof or wait for a weather window. But we make sure your home is protected while we’re waiting.
It depends on what caused the damage. Insurance typically covers sudden events—storm damage, fallen trees, hail, wind that rips off shingles. They generally don’t cover wear and tear, gradual deterioration, or damage from lack of maintenance.
We’ve worked with insurance adjusters for years and know how to document damage properly. We take photos, note all affected areas, and can point out things you might miss—like hail dents that aren’t obvious but indicate compromised shingles. That documentation matters when you’re filing a claim.
If you’re dealing with insurance, call them first to start the claim, then call us. We can meet with the adjuster, provide an estimate, and explain what needs to happen. Sometimes adjusters lowball the damage or miss secondary issues. We’ll advocate for what actually needs repair, not just what’s easy to see from the ground. Many homeowners don’t realize their policy covers more than the obvious damage.
Age is the first factor. If your roof is under 15 years old and damage is localized to one area, repair usually makes sense. If you’re at 20+ years and having multiple issues, replacement is probably smarter financially.
Extent of damage matters too. A few missing shingles from wind? Repair. Half your roof showing granule loss, curling, or multiple leak points? That’s a roof telling you it’s done. We’ll be honest about where you stand because recommending a repair on a roof that needs replacement just means you’re calling us back in six months, and that’s not good for either of us.
Sometimes the decision isn’t clear-cut. Maybe you’re at 18 years with moderate damage in one section. We’ll talk through your options: repair now and plan for replacement in two years, or replace now and be done with it. Your budget, how long you’re staying in the house, and what the rest of the roof looks like all factor in. We give you the information to make the right call for your situation.
Ice dams form when heat escaping through your roof melts snow, which then refreezes at the colder eaves. That ice blocks proper drainage, forcing water under your shingles and into your home. It’s common in Lynn because of temperature fluctuations and the way many older homes are insulated.
The real fix is improving attic ventilation and insulation. Proper ventilation keeps your roof deck cold so snow doesn’t melt unevenly. Good insulation keeps heat in your living space instead of letting it escape through the roof. We install ridge vents, soffit vents, and baffles to create airflow. Sometimes we need to add insulation or seal air leaks in the attic floor.
Heat cables are a band-aid, not a solution. They might help in problem spots, but they don’t address why you’re getting ice dams in the first place. We focus on the actual cause because that’s what prevents the problem from coming back every winter. Lynn’s coastal humidity makes this even more important—moisture in your attic from poor ventilation causes problems year-round, not just during ice dam season.
Simple repairs—replacing a section of damaged shingles, fixing flashing around a pipe—usually take a few hours to half a day. We’re often done before lunch if weather cooperates and there aren’t hidden issues once we open things up.
More involved repairs take longer. If we’re addressing multiple leak points, replacing large sections of decking that got water-damaged, or fixing structural issues, you’re looking at one to three days. Ventilation improvements add time because we’re cutting in new vents and making sure airflow works properly.
Weather impacts everything. We can’t install shingles in heavy rain or when it’s too cold for sealant to activate properly. Lynn’s coastal weather means we sometimes have narrow windows to work. We’ll give you a realistic timeline upfront and keep you updated if conditions change. Most repairs happen faster than people expect because we’re not juggling fifteen jobs at once—we focus on getting yours done right.
Yes. Our workmanship is guaranteed—if something we installed fails because of how we did the work, we come back and fix it at no charge. That covers installation errors, improper flashing, fastening issues, anything that’s on us.
Materials come with manufacturer warranties that vary by product. Shingles typically carry 20-30 year warranties, though the fine print matters. We use quality materials from established manufacturers because we don’t want callbacks any more than you want problems.
The bigger warranty is really our reputation. We’ve been in Lynn since 2006. We’re not disappearing next year or hiding behind a 1-800 number. If you’ve got a concern about work we did, you call the same number and talk to the same people. That matters more than any piece of paper because it means we actually stand behind what we do. We’ve built our business on people calling us back for their next project and telling their neighbors about us—that only happens if the work holds up.
