You stop worrying every time the forecast calls for snow. You’re not climbing up there with a flashlight after every wind event, wondering if that’s a new leak or the same one getting worse.
Your gutters drain the way they should. Water goes where it’s supposed to go. And when you look up at your roofline, you see straight edges and clean flashing—not patches that look like someone gave up halfway through.
That’s what happens when a roofing contractor actually finishes the job instead of just collecting the check. You get a roof that holds up through Massachusetts winters without turning your attic into a drip zone. No callbacks. No excuses. Just a roof you can forget about until it’s actually time to replace it.
We’ve been handling roofs in Hamilton and the surrounding North Shore since 2006. We’re an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor, which means we meet their standards for installation quality and customer service—not just once, but consistently.
We’re not the cheapest option, and we won’t pretend to be. What you’re paying for is a crew that knows how Massachusetts weather beats up a roof, from ice dams in January to summer heat that cracks old shingles. We use Mule Hide and Owens Corning materials because they last, and we back our work with real warranties that actually mean something.
Hamilton homeowners deal with enough—aging roof systems, storm damage, contractors who disappear after the deposit clears. We show up, we do the work right, and we’re still here when you need us years later.
First, we come out and look at your roof. Not from the driveway—we get up there. We check for wind damage, missing shingles, flashing issues, anything that’s letting water in or will let water in soon. You get a clear answer about what needs fixing and what doesn’t.
If it’s a repair, we handle it fast. Leaks don’t wait for convenient scheduling. If it’s a full replacement, we walk you through material options, timeline, and cost before anything starts. No surprises halfway through the job.
During the work, we protect your property. Tarps go down, debris gets cleaned up daily, and we don’t leave nails in your driveway for your tires to find. When we’re done, we do a final walkthrough with you to make sure everything’s sealed, straight, and built to last. Then we clean up like we were never there—except for the new roof.

We handle roof replacements, repairs, and maintenance for Hamilton homes. That means full tear-offs and installations when your roof’s past its lifespan, or targeted repairs when a storm takes out a section of shingles or damages your flashing.
Massachusetts roofs take a beating. Ice dams form when snow melts and refreezes at the edges, creating barriers that back water up under your shingles. We see it every winter in Hamilton. Our crews know how to address the damage and prevent it from happening again with proper ventilation and ice-and-water barrier installation.
We also handle the less dramatic stuff—shingle replacements, flashing repairs, gutter work that keeps water flowing away from your foundation instead of pooling near it. Roof maintenance isn’t glamorous, but it’s a lot cheaper than replacing rotted decking because a small leak went unnoticed for two years. We check the spots most homeowners can’t see and fix problems while they’re still small.
Most roof replacements in Hamilton run between $5,900 and $12,800, depending on the size of your home, the materials you choose, and how much of the underlying structure needs repair. A straightforward asphalt shingle replacement on a 1,500-square-foot ranch costs less than a two-story colonial with multiple valleys and skylights.
The price includes tearing off the old roof, replacing any damaged decking, installing new underlayment and shingles, and cleaning up afterward. If we find rot or structural issues once the old shingles come off, that’s extra—but we’ll tell you before we do the work, not after.
Cheaper quotes usually mean corners get cut somewhere. That might be lower-grade materials, no ice-and-water barrier in vulnerable spots, or a crew that rushes through the install. You’ll pay for it later in leaks and early failure. We price our jobs based on doing them right the first time.
If the damage is localized—a few missing shingles after a windstorm, flashing that’s come loose, a small leak in one area—a repair usually makes sense. If your roof is over 20 years old, you’re seeing granules in the gutters, shingles are curling or cracking across multiple sections, or you’ve got leaks in more than one spot, replacement is the smarter move.
Age matters. Asphalt shingles last 20 to 25 years in Massachusetts if they’re installed correctly. After that, the material starts breaking down from freeze-thaw cycles and UV exposure. Patching an old roof buys you time, but it doesn’t stop the aging process.
We’ll give you an honest assessment. If a repair gets you another five years and you’re planning to sell, we’ll tell you that. If your roof’s failing and repairs are just delaying the inevitable, we’ll tell you that too. You decide what makes sense for your timeline and budget.
Ice dams happen when heat escapes through your roof, melts the snow on top, and that meltwater runs down to the cold eaves where it refreezes. The ice builds up, creates a dam, and forces water back under your shingles. That’s when you get leaks, water stains on your ceilings, and damaged insulation.
Prevention starts with proper attic ventilation and insulation. If your attic stays cold, snow doesn’t melt unevenly. We also install ice-and-water barrier along the eaves during roof replacements—it’s a self-sealing membrane that stops water from getting through even if it backs up under the shingles.
Hamilton gets cold winters. Ice dams aren’t a question of if, they’re a question of when—unless your roof is set up to handle them. We’ve seen the damage they cause, and we build every roof to minimize the risk. That means adequate ventilation, proper insulation, and barrier protection in the spots where ice forms first.
Most residential roof replacements in Hamilton take two to four days, depending on the size of your home, the complexity of the roof, and the weather. A simple ranch with a straightforward roofline might be done in two days. A larger colonial with multiple levels, chimneys, and skylights takes longer.
We don’t stretch jobs out, but we also don’t rush through critical steps. Tearing off the old roof usually happens in a day. Installing new underlayment, shingles, flashing, and ridge vents takes another day or two. Final cleanup and inspection happen on the last day.
Weather delays happen. We’re not installing a roof in a rainstorm or when ice is forecasted. If we have to pause for a day, we tarp everything off so your home stays protected. You’ll know the timeline upfront, and we’ll keep you updated if anything changes.
Yes. If your roof was damaged in a storm and you’re filing an insurance claim, we can work with your adjuster. We’ll document the damage, provide a detailed estimate, and explain what needs to be repaired or replaced. Insurance companies want proof, and we know how to provide it.
Most homeowners insurance policies cover sudden damage from wind, hail, or falling trees—but not wear and tear or maintenance issues. If your shingles blew off because they were 25 years old and brittle, that’s harder to get covered than storm damage to a newer roof. We’ll be straight with you about what’s likely to be approved.
We’ve worked with most of the major insurance carriers. We’re not public adjusters, so we can’t negotiate your claim for you, but we can give you the documentation and estimates you need to move the process forward. The goal is getting your roof fixed without you paying out of pocket for damage that should be covered.
For most Hamilton homeowners, architectural asphalt shingles are the best balance of cost, durability, and weather resistance. We install Owens Corning and Mule Hide products because they hold up in Massachusetts winters and come with solid warranties. They’re rated for high winds, they handle freeze-thaw cycles without cracking, and they last 25 to 30 years when installed correctly.
If you want something more durable, metal roofing is an option. It costs more upfront but lasts 50-plus years, sheds snow easily, and handles ice dams better than shingles. It’s not for everyone—some HOAs have restrictions, and the look isn’t traditional—but it’s worth considering if you’re planning to stay in your home long-term.
We don’t push premium materials unless they make sense for your situation. A quality asphalt shingle roof installed right will protect your home just fine. If you want to explore other options, we’ll walk you through the pros, cons, and real-world costs so you can make a decision that fits your budget and goals.
