Hear from Our Customers
You’re not dealing with leaks anymore. No more buckets in the hallway when it rains. No more wondering if that dark spot on the ceiling is getting worse.
Your roof handles New Hampshire winters without ice dams backing water into your attic. It stays put during wind storms instead of losing shingles across the yard. You’re not calling for emergency repairs every season because the work was done to last.
When you sell, the roof adds value instead of killing deals during inspection. You sleep through storms instead of lying awake wondering what’s happening up there. That’s what proper roofing work gets you—one less thing to worry about.
We’ve been handling roofing projects across the Merrimack area for over a decade. We’re an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor, which means we’ve met their standards for quality work and customer service—not just once, but consistently.
We’re fully licensed and insured. We use Mule Hide and Owens Corning materials because they hold up in New Hampshire weather. Our crews show up when scheduled, communicate clearly about what’s happening, and clean up when they’re done.
East Merrimack homes face heavy snow loads, ice dam risks, and wind damage from nor’easters. We’ve seen what fails and what lasts in this climate. That experience matters when your roof is what’s protecting everything inside.
First, we schedule an inspection at a time that works for you. We check your roof from the ground and up close—looking for storm damage, worn shingles, flashing issues, ventilation problems, and anything else that could cause trouble.
You get a clear explanation of what we found. If you need repairs, we tell you what and why. If you need a replacement, we walk through your material options, timeline, and cost. No pressure, no upselling—just information so you can decide.
Once you’re ready to move forward, we handle permits, order materials, and lock in your project dates. Our crew protects your property, completes the work according to manufacturer specs, and inspects everything before we leave. You get documentation for warranties and a roof that does its job.
Ready to get started?
You’re getting a complete roof system, not just shingles slapped over problems. That means proper underlayment, new flashing around chimneys and vents, ridge venting for airflow, and ice and water shield in vulnerable areas.
In East Merrimack, ice dams are a real issue. Proper attic ventilation and insulation matter as much as the shingles themselves. We address that during installation so you’re not dealing with water damage down the line.
Material choice matters here too. Asphalt shingles are common and cost-effective—expect around $14,000 for an average replacement in this area. Metal roofing costs more upfront but handles snow load and wind better, plus it lasts longer. We’ll explain the tradeoffs so you can choose what makes sense for your budget and how long you plan to stay in the home.
Storm damage is another reality in New Hampshire. If you’ve had hail, wind, or fallen branches, we document everything for insurance claims and handle repairs that actually fix the problem instead of just covering it up.
If your roof is under 15 years old and the damage is localized—a few missing shingles from wind, a small leak around a vent, flashing that’s come loose—repair usually makes sense. You’re fixing the problem without replacing what’s still working.
If your roof is over 20 years old, has multiple leak points, shows widespread shingle damage, or you’re seeing granules washing into gutters, replacement is probably the smarter move. Patching an aging roof turns into endless repairs that cost more over time than doing it once correctly.
We’ll inspect and tell you honestly what we’re seeing. Sometimes it’s a gray area where either option works, and we’ll explain the cost difference and how long each solution should last so you can make the call.
Late spring through early fall is ideal. You want moderate temperatures and lower chance of storms interrupting the work. Shingles seal properly in warmer weather, and crews can work safely without ice or snow.
That said, schedules fill up fast during peak season. If you know you need a roof, don’t wait until summer to call. We can often work in shoulder seasons if weather cooperates, and emergency repairs happen year-round when necessary.
Winter installations are possible but not ideal. Cold temperatures affect how shingles seal, and working conditions are harder. If you’re dealing with active leaks or storm damage in winter, we’ll make temporary repairs and schedule the full job when conditions improve.
Most residential roof replacements in East Merrimack take two to four days depending on size, complexity, and weather. A straightforward ranch with good access might be done in two days. A larger colonial with multiple valleys, chimneys, and steep pitch takes longer.
Day one usually involves tearing off old materials, inspecting the deck for damage, making any necessary repairs, and starting new installation. Subsequent days finish installation, flashing, ridge vents, and cleanup. We protect your property throughout and make sure everything’s weathertight each night.
Delays happen if we find rotted decking that needs replacement or if weather doesn’t cooperate. We’ll keep you updated if the timeline shifts. The goal is doing it right, not just doing it fast.
It depends on your policy, your deductible, and the type of damage. Most policies cover sudden damage from wind, hail, or fallen trees. They typically don’t cover wear and tear or damage from lack of maintenance.
If you’ve had a storm and suspect damage, get it inspected quickly. Insurance claims work better with documentation showing the damage happened during a specific event. We can inspect, photograph everything, and provide detailed estimates for your claim.
Your insurance company may send their own adjuster. Sometimes they agree with our assessment, sometimes they don’t. We’ve worked with enough claims to know what’s reasonable and can advocate for proper repairs if the initial estimate doesn’t cover what’s actually needed.
Asphalt shingles are the most common choice in East Merrimack because they’re cost-effective and handle our climate reasonably well when installed correctly. Architectural shingles perform better than three-tab in wind and last longer—usually 25-30 years with proper maintenance.
Metal roofing is gaining popularity here for good reason. It sheds snow instead of holding weight, stands up to high winds, and lasts 50+ years. The upfront cost is higher, but you’re likely never re-roofing again. It’s loud during heavy rain unless you add extra underlayment.
Slate and tile look great and last forever but they’re heavy, expensive, and not common in this area. Most homes aren’t framed for that weight. For New Hampshire weather and typical budgets, quality architectural shingles or metal are your best options.
Ice dams form when heat escapes through your roof, melts snow, and that water refreezes at the eaves. The ice backs up under shingles and leaks into your home. It’s a common problem in East Merrimack winters.
Prevention starts in the attic. You need proper insulation to keep heat inside your home and ventilation to keep the attic cold. Ridge vents and soffit vents create airflow that maintains consistent roof temperature. During installation, we add ice and water shield at eaves and valleys for extra protection.
If you’re already getting ice dams every winter, adding attic insulation and improving ventilation usually solves it. Roof raking after heavy snow helps too. Heat cables are a band-aid that treats the symptom but not the cause. Fix the ventilation and insulation, and you fix the problem.
