No more buckets in the attic. No more wondering if the next storm will finally do you in.
When your roof is actually protecting your home, you stop thinking about it. You’re not checking the forecast with dread. You’re not calling three different contractors hoping someone shows up. Your insurance company isn’t sending adjusters to document water damage that’s been spreading for weeks.
A solid roof means your heating bill stays reasonable because you’re not losing warmth through gaps and compromised insulation. It means your home value holds because buyers aren’t walking away after the inspection. It means you can actually enjoy living in one of the most beautiful coastal towns in Massachusetts without constantly worrying about what the next nor’easter will reveal.
That’s what we’re after. Not just patching the obvious problem, but making sure your roof does its job through every season Rockport throws at it.
We’ve been handling roof repairs across Cape Ann since 2006. We’re an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor, which means we meet their standards for quality and reliability, not just ours.
Our BuildZoom score puts us in the top 8% of licensed contractors in Massachusetts. That’s not marketing talk—it’s a third-party ranking based on licensing, insurance, and project history.
We’re local to the North Shore. We know what ice dams do to Rockport homes after a heavy snow. We’ve seen what salt air does to roofing materials over time. We’ve responded to emergency calls after nor’easters knocked shingles loose and sent water into attics. When you call us, you’re talking to people who’ve worked on hundreds of coastal homes and understand exactly what your roof is up against.
First, we come out and actually look at your roof. Not just the obvious damage, but what’s happening underneath—flashing, decking, insulation, ventilation. We’re checking for problems you can’t see from the ground.
Then we tell you what’s wrong and what it’ll take to fix it. If it’s an emergency—water coming in, structural risk, exposed interior—we’ll get a temporary fix in place fast to stop further damage. If it’s not urgent, we’ll schedule the full repair and walk you through timeline and cost.
During the repair, we’re using quality materials that hold up in coastal conditions. Mule Hide products for durability. Proper underlayment. Flashing that actually diverts water. We’re not just covering the problem; we’re addressing why it happened so it doesn’t come back next winter.
After we’re done, we clean up and make sure you understand what we did. No surprise charges. No half-finished work. You get a roof that works, and we make sure you’re satisfied before we consider the job complete.

Roof repair in Rockport isn’t the same as roof repair inland. You’re dealing with salt air that corrodes fasteners. You’re dealing with wind-driven rain that finds every weak point. You’re dealing with ice dams that form when snow melts and refreezes at the eaves, forcing water up under shingles and into your home.
We handle all of it. Shingle replacement after storm damage. Flashing repairs around chimneys and skylights where leaks love to start. Emergency tarping when you need to stop water immediately. Ice dam removal and prevention so you’re not dealing with ceiling damage every February.
Rockport gets hit hard. Essex County saw 29 inches of snow and hurricane-level winds during recent storms. Your roof takes that beating year after year. We use materials rated for coastal exposure—shingles that resist algae growth in humid conditions, underlayment that creates a waterproof barrier even if shingles fail, and proper ventilation to prevent moisture buildup that rots decking from the inside.
You’re not just getting a patch job. You’re getting a repair that accounts for what Rockport weather will do to your roof next month and next decade.
If water is actively coming into your home or your roof structure is compromised, that’s an emergency. We prioritize those calls.
Response time depends on how many other homeowners are dealing with storm damage at the same time. After a major nor’easter, it might take us a few days to get to you because half of Rockport is calling. But we’ll get a temporary fix in place—tarping, sealing, whatever stops the immediate damage—so you’re not waiting weeks with water pouring into your attic.
If it’s not an active emergency but still urgent (like a leak that only shows up during heavy rain), we’ll get you scheduled as quickly as our workload allows. We don’t make you wait months for repairs that need to happen now. Call us, explain what’s happening, and we’ll tell you honestly when we can be there and what you should do in the meantime to protect your home.
Ice dams form when heat escapes through your roof, melts the snow on top, and that water runs down to the cold eaves where it refreezes. The ice builds up, creates a dam, and forces water back up under your shingles. That’s when you get water stains on ceilings, damaged insulation, and sometimes structural problems you don’t see until we open things up.
Fixing ice dams means addressing the root cause, not just removing the ice. We check your attic insulation and ventilation first. If heat is escaping because insulation is inadequate or ventilation isn’t moving air properly, the ice will keep coming back. We also inspect your roof’s edge—proper ice and water shield underlayment at the eaves creates a waterproof barrier even when ice forms.
If you’ve already got an ice dam causing damage, we’ll remove it safely (not with a hammer or heat that damages shingles) and repair any leaks or structural damage it caused. Then we’ll make recommendations so it doesn’t happen again next winter. Rockport gets the perfect conditions for ice dams—cold temps, heavy snow, and older homes that weren’t built with modern insulation standards. We’ve handled hundreds of these situations and know exactly what works.
It depends entirely on what’s wrong. A simple shingle replacement might run a few hundred dollars. A full section of damaged decking, new underlayment, flashing work, and shingle replacement could be several thousand.
We don’t give ballpark estimates over the phone because we’d be guessing. Coastal damage is unpredictable—what looks like a small leak from inside might be widespread rot once we’re up there. What looks like missing shingles might include damaged flashing, compromised decking, and insulation that’s been soaked for months.
We’ll come out, inspect the actual damage, and give you a real number based on what your roof needs. No surprise charges later. No upselling you on work that doesn’t need to happen. If your insurance is covering storm damage, we’ll work with them directly and help you navigate that process. The average roof replacement in Massachusetts runs around $20,000 for a standard home, but most repairs are a fraction of that. We’ll tell you exactly where you stand after we’ve seen your roof.
If the damage is localized—a section of shingles blown off, flashing that failed around a chimney, a leak at a skylight—repair makes sense. You fix the problem, the rest of your roof keeps doing its job, and you’re not spending money you don’t need to spend.
If your roof is near the end of its lifespan (asphalt shingles typically last 20-25 years in coastal conditions), if you’re seeing multiple leaks in different areas, or if the decking underneath is compromised in several spots, replacement starts making more financial sense. At that point you’re not just fixing one problem—you’re buying time before the next problem shows up.
We’ll be straight with you about where your roof stands. If repair gets you another 10 years of solid protection, we’ll tell you that. If you’re going to be calling us back every year for a new leak because the whole system is failing, we’ll tell you that too. Some contractors push replacement because it’s a bigger job. We’d rather you spend money once on the right solution than spend it three times on repairs that don’t solve the underlying issue. We’ve been doing this in Rockport since 2006, and our reputation matters more than one big invoice.
Yes. We hold an active Home Improvement Contractor license through the Massachusetts license board. We’re fully insured, which protects both you and our crew if something goes wrong during the job.
We’re also an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor, which means we’ve met their requirements for experience, customer satisfaction, and proper licensing and insurance. That’s not automatic—it’s a designation you have to qualify for and maintain.
Our BuildZoom score ranks us in the top 8% of licensed contractors across Massachusetts. That score is based on verified licensing, insurance status, and project history. It’s third-party validation that we’re running a legitimate business and doing quality work.
When you hire us, you’re not taking a risk on some guy with a truck who showed up after a storm. You’re hiring a licensed, insured contractor with 18 years of experience and a track record you can verify. We’ll provide proof of insurance before we start work, and everything we do is backed by our commitment to getting it right. If something isn’t right, we fix it. That’s how we’ve stayed in business this long.
First, contain the water damage inside. Put a bucket under the leak, move anything valuable out of the way, and if water is spreading across your ceiling or running down walls, try to channel it into a container. If you can safely get into your attic, put a tarp or plastic sheeting down to protect insulation and catch water before it spreads.
Don’t go on your roof during a storm. It’s dangerous, and you’re likely to make things worse or hurt yourself. If you can see obvious damage from the ground—missing shingles, a tarp that blew off, a tree branch that punched through—document it with photos for insurance purposes.
Call us as soon as it’s safe to do so. If it’s an active emergency and water is pouring in, we’ll prioritize getting someone out to tarp or temporarily seal the damage. If it’s a smaller leak that’s manageable with a bucket until the storm passes, we’ll get you on the schedule for a proper repair as soon as conditions allow.
After the storm, don’t wait weeks to address it. Even a small leak causes damage you can’t see—insulation gets soaked, decking starts to rot, mold begins growing in hidden spaces. The faster you get it properly repaired, the less secondary damage you’re dealing with. We’ve seen too many situations where a homeowner waited because the leak seemed minor, and by the time we got up there, what should’ve been a simple fix had turned into a major restoration project.
