Hear from Our Customers
You stop worrying about ice dams every time the temperature drops. No more emergency calls when snow piles up or that freeze-thaw cycle starts cracking things apart.
Your heating bill goes down because your attic isn’t leaking warm air through gaps a previous contractor missed. You’re not repairing the same spots every spring.
When you sell, your home value reflects a roof that’s documented, warrantied, and installed by an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor. That certification means something to buyers and inspectors. It means the work was done right, with materials that match what your house needs, not whatever was cheapest that week.
We started in 2006 because too many homeowners were getting burned by contractors who didn’t understand Massachusetts weather. We’re locally owned, and we’ve watched Burlington homes deal with the same problems year after year—ice dams, thermal shock from temperature swings, and snow loads that older roofs weren’t built to handle.
We’re an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor, which isn’t just a badge. It means we meet strict standards for installation quality and customer service. We also work with Mule Hide products for commercial and flat roofing projects that need serious durability.
You’ll find us on job sites in Burlington, not just in an office. We’ve built long-term relationships here because we show up, do the work right, and don’t disappear when warranty questions come up years later.
First, we come out and actually get on your roof. We’re looking for the obvious stuff—missing shingles, visible damage—but also the things most homeowners can’t see from the ground. Loose fasteners from thermal expansion, deteriorating sealants, early signs of ice dam damage along the eaves.
You get a written estimate that breaks down materials and labor separately. We’re not hiding costs in vague line items. If you want to see receipts for materials, we’ll show you. If you want to talk about why we’re recommending one shingle type over another for Burlington’s climate, we’ll explain it.
Once you approve the plan, we schedule the work around weather windows that make sense. We’re not tearing off your roof the day before a storm. During installation, we protect your property, work efficiently, and clean up completely. You shouldn’t find nails in your driveway three months later.
After we’re done, you get documentation for your warranty and any photos you need for insurance or future sale records.

You’re getting materials rated for New England weather. That means shingles designed to handle freeze-thaw cycles, not just meet minimum code requirements. Asphalt shingles typically last 20-25 years here, but only if they’re installed correctly with proper ventilation and ice dam prevention.
For Burlington homes, that means adequate attic insulation to prevent heat loss, proper ridge venting, and ice and water shield in vulnerable areas. Most ice dam problems start with installation shortcuts, not bad shingles.
We handle full replacements when your roof is at the end of its life, but also repairs when you just need a section fixed after storm damage. Emergency leak repairs get priority because water damage gets expensive fast. If you’re dealing with an active leak, we can often get someone out same-day or next-day depending on weather.
Commercial and flat roofing projects use different materials—usually modified bitumen or single-ply systems. Those need different expertise than residential shingle work, and we handle both.
Most Burlington roof replacements run between $5,890 and $12,800. That range exists because your actual cost depends on roof size, pitch, material choice, and how much repair work the decking needs once the old shingles come off.
A simple ranch with easy attic access costs less than a two-story colonial with multiple valleys and skylights. Architectural shingles cost more than three-tab but last longer and look better. If we find rotted plywood underneath, that’s additional material and labor.
We give you a written estimate before any work starts. You’ll see exactly what you’re paying for materials versus labor. If you want to upgrade to impact-resistant shingles or better ventilation, we’ll show you what that adds. No surprises when the final bill comes.
Ice dams happen when heat escapes through your attic, melts snow on the roof, 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 leaks, ceiling stains, and insulation damage.
Prevention starts in the attic, not on the roof surface. You need proper insulation to keep heat inside your house, adequate ventilation to keep the attic cold, and sealed penetrations so warm air isn’t escaping around pipes and wires.
During installation, we add ice and water shield along the eaves and in valleys where ice dams typically form. This gives you a waterproof barrier even if ice does build up. We also make sure your soffit and ridge vents are working correctly so cold air can flow through the attic. Most ice dam problems we see in Burlington come from inadequate attic insulation or blocked ventilation, not from the shingles themselves.
Most residential roof replacements take 1-3 days depending on size, complexity, and weather. A straightforward ranch might be done in a day. A larger two-story home with multiple roof lines usually takes two days. If we’re replacing decking or dealing with extensive repairs underneath, add another day.
Weather delays are real in Massachusetts. We’re not working in heavy rain or high winds, and we’re not tearing off your roof if the forecast shows storms coming. That protects both the quality of the installation and your home from water damage.
We’ll give you a realistic timeline when we schedule the work. If weather pushes us back, we’ll communicate that immediately. Once we start, we work efficiently to get your home protected as quickly as possible without cutting corners. You won’t have an open roof overnight unless absolutely necessary, and if we do need to pause mid-project, we’ll tarp and secure everything properly.
Yes. If you’ve got an active leak or storm damage that’s letting water in, call us. We prioritize emergency repairs because water damage spreads fast and gets expensive.
Depending on weather and our schedule, we can often get someone out same-day or next-day to assess the damage and do temporary repairs. That might mean tarping a section, replacing blown-off shingles, or sealing a leak until we can schedule permanent repairs.
Emergency repairs aren’t always cheap because we’re dropping other work to help you, but they’re a lot cheaper than letting water run into your attic for three days while you wait for an appointment. We’ll stabilize the immediate problem, then give you options for permanent fixes. Sometimes that’s a repair, sometimes you’re better off replacing a whole section, and sometimes it’s clear the entire roof is near the end and you should just replace it now rather than throwing money at temporary patches.
Architectural asphalt shingles are the most common choice for Burlington homes because they balance cost, durability, and performance in freeze-thaw conditions. They’re rated for the temperature swings we see here and typically last 20-25 years with proper installation and maintenance.
Metal roofing is gaining popularity because it sheds snow easily, lasts 40-50 years, and handles thermal expansion better than shingles. It costs more upfront but requires less maintenance long-term. Good choice if you’re planning to stay in the house.
For flat or low-slope roofs on additions or commercial buildings, we typically use modified bitumen or single-ply membranes like TPO or EPDM. These handle ponding water better than shingles and are designed for the structural stress of snow loads.
What matters most isn’t just the material—it’s proper installation with adequate ventilation, ice and water shield in vulnerable spots, and attic insulation that prevents heat loss. The best shingles in the world won’t stop ice dams if your attic is poorly insulated.
Yes. We hold a Home Improvement Contractor license with the Massachusetts license board. We carry liability insurance and workers’ compensation coverage.
That protects you if someone gets hurt on your property or if something goes wrong during the project. You should never hire a roofing contractor who can’t provide proof of insurance—if a worker gets injured on an uninsured job, you could be liable.
We’re also an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor, which requires meeting strict standards for business practices, customer satisfaction, and installation quality. That certification gets audited regularly. It’s not something you can fake or buy—you have to earn it and maintain it. When you hire us, you’re getting those protections and quality standards built into the work.
