Hear from Our Customers
You stop worrying every time it rains. You’re not calling someone back to fix what should’ve been done right the first time.
Your heating bills drop because your attic isn’t bleeding warm air through gaps and poor ventilation. Ice dams stop forming along your eaves every February, which means no more water stains creeping down your walls or ruined insulation.
When the next storm rolls through, your roof handles it. You’re not scrambling for emergency repairs or dealing with insurance headaches because someone cut corners three years ago. You’ve got a roof that does its job quietly, which is exactly what it should do.
We’ve been handling roofs in Maynard and the surrounding area for nearly two decades. We’re licensed in Massachusetts, insured, and we’re an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor, which means we meet their standards for quality work and customer service.
We’re not the biggest operation, and we’re not trying to be. We focus on doing the work right, showing up when we say we will, and making sure you understand what’s happening with your roof before we touch it.
Maynard homes deal with ice dams, wind-driven rain, and the kind of temperature swings that test every seal and shingle. We know what fails first and how to prevent it.
We start with an inspection. You show us what’s wrong, we get on the roof, and we look at what’s actually happening, not just the symptoms you’re seeing inside.
Then we explain what needs to happen. If it’s a repair, we tell you what’s damaged and why. If it’s a replacement, we walk through your options for materials, ventilation, and how long the work will take. You get a written estimate with no surprises.
Once you approve the work, we schedule it based on weather and material availability. We protect your property, tear off what needs to go, inspect the decking for damage, and install your new roof using manufacturer specs. We clean up completely when we’re done. You get documentation for your records and warranty information for the materials and labor.

Every roofing project includes a full inspection of your decking and structure. If we find rot or damage underneath, you know about it before we cover it up.
We handle ventilation correctly because Maynard’s winter condensation issues destroy roofs from the inside out. Proper intake and exhaust ventilation isn’t optional here. We also address ice dam prevention during installation, which means looking at your insulation, airflow, and how heat escapes your attic.
You’re getting quality materials. We work with Owens Corning and Mule Hide products because they hold up in New England weather and come with real warranties. We install drip edge, proper flashing around chimneys and vents, and we make sure your gutters can handle the water volume your roof sheds. If you’re filing an insurance claim for storm damage, we’ll document everything and work with your adjuster.
If your roof is under 15 years old and you’ve got localized damage from a storm or a few problem areas, repair usually makes sense. You’re looking at things like missing shingles, a small leak around a vent, or damage in one section.
Replacement becomes the smarter move when your roof is over 20 years old, you’re seeing multiple leaks, shingles are curling or losing granules across large areas, or you’re patching the same spots repeatedly. At that point, you’re throwing money at a roof that’s at the end of its life.
We’ll tell you honestly which one makes sense. If a repair buys you five more years and you’re planning to sell, that might be the right call. If your roof is failing in multiple places and you’re staying in the house, replacement saves you from constant maintenance and gives you warranty protection.
Ice dams form when heat escapes through your roof, melts snow, and that water refreezes at your cold eaves. The ice builds up, blocks drainage, and forces water back under your shingles. That’s when you get leaks into your walls and ceilings.
Prevention happens in three places. First, your attic needs proper insulation to keep heat from escaping through the roof deck. Second, you need ventilation that lets cold air flow through the attic so the roof stays cold. Third, the roof itself needs proper underlayment and ice barrier protection at the eaves.
We address all three during installation. If you’re getting ice dams every winter, it’s usually an attic insulation or ventilation problem, not just a roofing problem. We’ll identify what’s causing it and fix the root issue, not just treat the symptom.
Most residential roof replacements 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 dormers takes longer.
Weather delays are real in Massachusetts. We don’t install in rain, and we won’t start a tear-off if storms are forecast mid-project. That means scheduling can shift, especially in spring and fall when weather is unpredictable.
We’ll give you a realistic timeline upfront and keep you updated if anything changes. The actual work happens fast once we start. The longer timeline accounts for material delivery, weather windows, and making sure we’re not rushing through details that matter.
You don’t need to be home for the actual roofing work. Once we’ve done the walkthrough and you’ve approved everything, our crew can handle the job while you’re at work.
You’ll want to be around for the initial inspection and the final walkthrough. The inspection is when we identify what needs to happen and answer your questions. The final walkthrough is when we show you the completed work and make sure you’re satisfied before we consider the job done.
During the work, it’s loud. If you’re working from home, expect noise from tear-off, nail guns, and equipment. We start early to maximize daylight and good weather windows. If you have pets, keep them inside or away from the work area. We’ll protect your landscaping and clean up debris daily, but there’s activity around your house while we’re working.
Architectural asphalt shingles are the most common choice in Maynard because they handle temperature swings well, shed snow and ice effectively, and offer good value. Owens Corning Duration or Mule Hide products are solid options that come with strong warranties.
Metal roofing is gaining popularity because it sheds snow completely, lasts 40-plus years, and handles our freeze-thaw cycles without deteriorating. It costs more upfront but requires almost no maintenance. It’s loud during rain and hail, which bothers some people.
Synthetic slate or composite shingles offer the look of traditional materials with better durability and lighter weight. They’re more expensive than asphalt but less than real slate, and they don’t crack in cold weather. Whatever material you choose, proper installation and ventilation matter more than the shingle brand. A premium shingle installed poorly fails faster than a mid-grade shingle installed correctly.
Yes. We hold a Massachusetts Home Improvement Contractor license and carry both liability insurance and workers’ compensation coverage. You can verify our license through the state’s Office of Consumer Affairs and Business Regulation.
This matters because unlicensed contractors can’t pull permits, won’t be covered if someone gets hurt on your property, and often disappear when problems arise. Massachusetts requires licensing for a reason, and it protects you as the homeowner.
We’re also an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor, which requires meeting their standards for business practices, customer service, and installation quality. That certification gets reviewed regularly. If you’re filing an insurance claim, having a licensed contractor document the damage and perform the work makes the process much smoother.
