Hear from Our Customers
No more buckets in the hallway when it rains. No more wondering if that dark spot on your ceiling is getting bigger.
You get a roof that does its job without you thinking about it. The kind of repair that holds up when the next nor’easter rolls through Hudson, dumping wet snow that would tear apart a quick patch job. Your insurance adjuster sees work that meets code, your family stays dry, and you’re not calling someone else in six months to fix what should’ve been done right the first time.
We’ve been doing this since 2006. Eighteen years of Massachusetts weather teaches you what actually works and what just looks good in the estimate. You’re not getting the cheapest bid, but you’re getting work that won’t need a do-over next season.
We’ve been handling roofs across the North Shore since 2006. We’re an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor, which means we’ve met their standards for quality and customer service. Not every roofing company can say that.
Hudson homeowners deal with the same weather challenges we see in Methuen and Lynn: ice dams in January, wind-driven rain in March, summer storms that come out of nowhere. We know what fails first on these roofs because we’ve repaired hundreds of them. Our license is current, our insurance is active, and we’re ranked in the top 8% of Massachusetts contractors on BuildZoom.
When you call, you’re talking to people who’ve seen your exact problem before and know how to fix it without selling you a whole new roof if you don’t need one.
First, we actually show up when we say we will. You’d be surprised how many contractors can’t clear that bar.
We inspect the damage, take photos, and explain what’s wrong in plain language. No jargon about flashing and underlayment unless you want the details. You get a written estimate that breaks down materials and labor so you know exactly what you’re paying for. If insurance is involved, we document everything they’ll need to see.
Once you approve the work, we schedule it and stick to that schedule. We use Owens Corning and Mule Hide materials because they hold up and come with real warranties. The crew shows up, protects your property, completes the repair, and cleans up like we were never there.
After we’re done, we walk you through what we did. You get documentation for your records. And if you have questions three months later, we pick up the phone.

You’re getting more than someone slapping tar on a hole. Every repair starts with finding the actual source of the problem, not just the visible symptom. Water travels, so that stain in your bedroom might be coming from damage fifteen feet away.
We replace damaged shingles with ones that match your existing roof. We repair or replace flashing around chimneys, vents, and valleys where most leaks start. If your decking is rotted underneath, we replace that too because new shingles over bad wood is just expensive theater. Ventilation gets checked because improper airflow causes half the premature roof failures we see in Hudson.
Hudson’s housing stock includes plenty of older homes with layered roofing history. We’ve worked on everything from 1950s ranches to newer colonials. The repair approach changes based on your roof’s age, pitch, and material. A steep slate roof needs different handling than a standard asphalt shingle ranch, and we’ve done both enough times to know the difference.
You also get a contractor who communicates. We return calls. We show up on time. We answer questions after the job’s done. That shouldn’t be special, but apparently it is.
For active leaks, we prioritize getting someone out within 24 to 48 hours, depending on current weather and our schedule. If it’s an emergency where water is actively pouring into your home, we’ll talk you through temporary measures you can take immediately while we arrange to get there.
Once on site, we can often do temporary weatherproofing the same day to stop the immediate damage. A tarp properly secured beats a garbage bag taped to your roof. The permanent repair gets scheduled as soon as materials arrive and weather permits, usually within a week.
Massachusetts weather doesn’t always cooperate with roofing schedules. We can’t safely work on steep roofs in ice or high winds, and some repairs need dry conditions to properly seal. We’re honest about timing rather than making promises we can’t keep. But we’ll get you protected and on the schedule fast.
That depends on your deductible and the repair cost. If the damage is from a storm or sudden event and the repair will cost more than your deductible, filing usually makes sense. Wind damage, hail, falling trees, and ice dams are typically covered if your policy includes those perils.
Wear and tear isn’t covered. If your roof is just old and deteriorating, insurance won’t pay. But if a storm damaged a roof that was otherwise in decent shape, you’ve got a claim. We document everything with photos and measurements so your adjuster has what they need.
One thing to consider: filing a claim goes on your record and might affect future premiums. For an $800 repair with a $1,000 deductible, paying out of pocket makes more sense. For a $4,000 repair with a $1,000 deductible, the claim is probably worth it. We’ll give you the honest numbers so you can decide. We work with insurance companies regularly and know what they look for in documentation.
Age is the first indicator. Asphalt shingle roofs last 20 to 25 years in Massachusetts if they’re installed correctly. If yours is pushing 20 and you’re seeing multiple problem areas, replacement makes more financial sense than patching.
Localized damage from a recent storm usually means repair. One section of missing shingles, a damaged valley, or flashing that failed can be fixed without touching the rest of the roof. But if we get up there and find widespread granule loss, curling shingles, multiple leaks, or soft spots in the decking across large areas, that roof is telling you it’s done.
We’ll be straight with you about what we find. If you can get another five years with a repair, we’ll tell you that. If we’re going to be back every year patching new problems because the whole roof is failing, we’ll tell you that too. You’ll get photos of what we’re seeing and an honest assessment of whether you’re fixing a problem or just delaying the inevitable. The goal is helping you make the right call for your situation, not selling you the bigger job.
Flashing failures top the list. Flashing is the metal that seals the joints where your roof meets chimneys, walls, skylights, and vents. It takes the most abuse from temperature swings and ice, and when it fails, water pours in. We see this constantly on Hudson homes, especially around brick chimneys on older houses.
Ice dams are the other major culprit. When your attic is too warm, it melts snow on the roof. That water runs down and refreezes at the cold eaves, creating a dam. Water backs up under the shingles and into your house. Poor attic insulation and ventilation cause this, and it destroys roofs fast. A lot of Hudson’s older homes weren’t built with proper ventilation, so ice dams are almost guaranteed without upgrades.
Storm damage from wind and falling branches creates obvious leaks. But we also see plenty of leaks from improper installation on previous repairs. Someone who doesn’t understand how water flows on a roof will put shingles back wrong, and you’ll have problems within months. Valley areas where two roof planes meet are especially vulnerable if they’re not done right. We fix a lot of other contractors’ mistakes.
Yes. Our workmanship is guaranteed, and the specific terms depend on the scope of the repair. For standard repairs using quality materials, you’re covered if something fails due to our installation. That doesn’t cover new damage from future storms or normal wear over time, but if our work fails, we make it right.
The materials themselves come with manufacturer warranties. Owens Corning and Mule Hide both back their products, and as an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor, we can offer enhanced warranty options on qualifying jobs. Those warranties cover defects in the shingles, underlayment, and other materials.
We put everything in writing before work starts. You’ll know exactly what’s covered, for how long, and what’s not covered. The warranty isn’t worth much if the company disappears in two years, which is why our 18 years in business matters. We’ve been here, we’re staying here, and we honor our commitments. If you call us three years later with a question about the work we did, you’ll get a person on the phone who can help.
Minor repairs like replacing a few shingles or fixing small flashing issues run $300 to $800. Moderate repairs involving larger sections, valley work, or multiple problem areas typically cost $1,000 to $3,000. Extensive repairs that include decking replacement, large flashing projects, or multiple areas of damage can run $3,000 to $6,000 or more.
The variables are size of the damaged area, accessibility, pitch of your roof, materials needed, and what we find when we open things up. A single-story ranch with easy roof access costs less to repair than a steep two-story colonial. If damaged decking is hiding under those shingles, the price goes up because we’re not putting new materials over rotted wood.
We provide written estimates before starting work. No surprise charges for things we should have anticipated. If we uncover additional damage during the repair that wasn’t visible during inspection, we stop and discuss it with you before proceeding. You’ll know what you’re paying and why. We’re not the cheapest option in Hudson, but we’re also not the most expensive. You’re paying for quality materials, proper installation, and a contractor who’ll be around if you need us later.
