You stop worrying about leaks every time it rains. You’re not climbing up there after every windstorm checking for missing shingles. Your attic stays dry through March thaws when ice dams form on half the roofs in town.
A solid roof means your heating bill doesn’t spike because warm air isn’t escaping through gaps you didn’t know existed. It means your home’s value holds steady instead of dropping because an inspector flags roof damage during a sale. You’re not dealing with water stains spreading across your ceiling or calling your insurance company about interior damage that started on the outside.
When your roof works the way it should, it disappears from your list of things to stress about. That’s what you’re actually paying for—one less problem taking up space in your head. The shingles and flashing are just how we get you there.
We’ve been handling roofing projects around Groveland and the Merrimack Valley since 2006. We’re an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor, which means we’ve met their requirements for licensing, insurance, and customer satisfaction—not just once, but consistently.
Most of our work comes from referrals. That happens when you show up on time, explain what needs fixing without overselling, and clean up when you’re done. We’re not the cheapest option in town, and that’s intentional. You’re paying for materials that last and crews that know how Massachusetts weather beats up a roof.
Groveland homes deal with ice dams, wind-driven rain, and temperature swings that crack sealants and lift shingles. We’ve seen it all, fixed it all, and we’ll tell you straight if your roof needs a full replacement or just a repair. No upselling, no disappearing after the deposit clears.
First, we come out and actually look at your roof. Not a five-minute glance from the driveway—we get up there, check the shingles, inspect the flashing around chimneys and vents, and look for signs of water damage or wear. We take photos so you can see what we’re seeing.
Then we give you a written estimate that breaks down materials and labor. No “we’ll figure it out as we go” pricing. If we find something unexpected once we start—rotted decking, damaged underlayment—we stop and talk to you before adding costs. You’ll know what you’re paying and why.
Once you approve the estimate, we schedule the work around your timeline and the weather. Roofing in January isn’t ideal, but if you’ve got an active leak, we make it happen. Most residential roof replacements take two to three days depending on size and complexity. Repairs are usually same-day or next-day.
We pull permits when required, handle inspections, and clean up completely when we’re done. That means tarps for your landscaping, magnetic rollers for stray nails, and hauling away all the old materials. You shouldn’t have to do anything except approve the final walkthrough.
Ready to get started?
Every roofing project starts with a full inspection—not just the obvious problem area, but the entire roof system. We check ventilation, look for previous repair attempts that might be causing new issues, and assess whether your attic insulation is contributing to ice dam problems. That’s standard, not an upsell.
For replacements, we remove old shingles down to the decking, replace any damaged wood, install new underlayment and ice-and-water shield in vulnerable areas, then put down your new roof. We use Mule Hide and Owens Corning products because they hold up to New England weather and come with solid warranties. You’re not getting builder-grade materials that need replacing in 12 years.
Groveland sits right in the ice dam zone. When temperatures hover around freezing and your attic’s too warm, you get melt-and-refreeze cycles that force water under shingles. We address that during installation with proper ventilation and strategic ice barrier placement. It’s not optional—it’s how you avoid callbacks every February.
For repairs, we match existing materials when possible and fix the underlying issue, not just the symptom. A missing shingle is easy. A missing shingle because your roof ventilation is creating uplift—that takes more attention. We handle both, and we explain which one you’re dealing with before we start.
Most residential roof replacements in Groveland run between $12,000 and $28,000 depending on size, pitch, and material choice. A standard 2,000-square-foot ranch with architectural shingles typically lands around $15,000 to $18,000. Steeper roofs cost more because they’re harder to work on safely. Multiple valleys, skylights, or complex flashing details add labor time.
If your decking needs replacement—common in older homes or after long-term leak damage—that’s additional. Same goes for upgrading ventilation or adding extra ice-and-water barrier beyond code minimum. We include those line items separately so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
The cheapest bid isn’t always the best value. A roof installed correctly with quality materials lasts 25-plus years. One done fast with thin shingles and shortcuts might need repairs in seven. You’re better off paying a bit more upfront than paying twice.
If the damage is localized—a few missing shingles after a windstorm, flashing that’s come loose around a chimney, or a small leak near a vent—repair usually makes sense. You’re looking at a few hundred to a couple thousand dollars depending on what’s involved.
Full replacement makes sense when your roof is near the end of its lifespan (most asphalt shingles last 20-25 years), when you’ve got widespread curling or granule loss, or when you’re patching the same areas repeatedly. If more than 30% of your roof needs work, replacement is often more cost-effective than piecemeal repairs.
We’ll tell you honestly which situation you’re in. There’s no point selling you a full roof if a repair buys you another five years and you’re planning to move. But there’s also no point patching a roof that’s going to fail in two years and cost you more in the long run. We look at the whole picture and give you options with real numbers attached.
Ice dams form when heat escapes from your attic, melts snow on the upper part of your roof, and that water runs down and refreezes at the eaves where it’s colder. The ice builds up, creates a dam, and forces water back under your shingles. That’s when you get leaks, ceiling stains, and damaged insulation.
Prevention comes down to three things: proper attic insulation to keep heat inside your house, adequate ventilation to keep your attic cold, and ice-and-water barrier installed at the eaves during roofing. Most Groveland homes need all three. A lot of older houses have insufficient insulation or blocked soffit vents, which makes the problem worse.
During a roof replacement, we install ice barrier at least six feet up from the eaves—sometimes more depending on your roof pitch. We also check your ventilation system and let you know if you need additional soffit or ridge vents. Insulation upgrades happen from inside the attic, which is separate from roofing work, but we’ll point out if that’s contributing to your ice dam issues. Fixing the roof without addressing attic conditions means you’ll likely see the same problems next winter.
Most single-family homes take two to three days for a complete roof replacement. Day one is tear-off and decking inspection—we remove old shingles, check for damaged wood, and make any necessary repairs. Day two is installation of underlayment, ice barrier, and new shingles. Day three is finishing details, flashing, cleanup, and final inspection.
Larger homes, complex roof designs with multiple levels, or steep pitches can push that to four or five days. Weather delays happen—we’re not installing shingles in heavy rain or high winds. If we start your project and conditions turn bad, we’ll tarp everything securely and resume when it’s safe.
Repairs are faster. Simple fixes like replacing a few shingles or resealing flashing usually take a few hours. More involved repairs—replacing a section of decking, fixing multiple leak points—might take a full day. We give you a realistic timeline upfront and keep you updated if anything changes.
Yes. If you’ve got an active leak, storm damage, or shingles that blew off and left your roof exposed, we prioritize getting someone out quickly. Emergency repairs focus on stopping water intrusion and protecting your home until we can schedule permanent fixes.
That might mean tarping a damaged section, replacing missing shingles, or sealing a leak temporarily. We’re not doing full replacements in the middle of a nor’easter, but we can stop the immediate problem and prevent further damage to your interior.
Once things are stabilized, we’ll schedule a thorough inspection and give you a proper estimate for permanent repairs. Sometimes emergency damage reveals underlying issues that need addressing. We’ll walk you through what needs to happen now versus what can wait, and we’ll work with your insurance company if the damage is covered. Most homeowners policies cover sudden storm damage but not long-term wear and tear, so documentation matters.
Yes. We hold a Massachusetts Home Improvement Contractor license and carry both liability insurance and workers’ compensation coverage. That protects you if someone gets hurt on your property or if something gets damaged during the project.
We’re also an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor, which requires maintaining specific standards for licensing, insurance, and customer satisfaction. That certification gets audited regularly—it’s not a one-time thing.
Before we start any project, we pull the necessary permits and handle inspections. Groveland requires permits for roof replacements and major repairs. Some contractors skip that step to save time or avoid scrutiny. That’s a problem when you go to sell your house and unpermitted work shows up during a title search or inspection. We do it right from the start so you don’t have issues down the road.
