Hear from Our Customers
You stop worrying every time it rains. You’re not calling us back to fix what should’ve been done right the first time.
Your energy bills drop because your roof actually insulates instead of leaking air. You’re not throwing money at patch jobs that buy you six months if you’re lucky.
When the next ice dam hits or wind tears through, your roof handles it. You’ve got a system built for New Hampshire weather, not just whatever was cheapest. And when you eventually sell, buyers see a roof that adds value instead of a red flag on the inspection report.
That’s what happens when the work is done correctly from the start. No callbacks. No surprises. Just a roof that does its job so you can forget about it.
Paradise Remodeling Inc has been handling roofing projects in Peterborough and across the region for over a decade. We’re an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor, which means we meet their requirements for quality work and customer service. Not just anyone gets that designation.
We’re not the biggest operation, and we’re not trying to be. We’re a general contractor that focuses on doing the job right, communicating clearly, and showing up when we say we will.
Peterborough homeowners deal with real weather. Heavy snow loads, ice dams forming in valleys, wind coming off Pack Monadnock. We’ve seen what fails here and what holds up. That experience matters when you’re choosing materials and methods that need to last 20, 30, 50 years in this climate.
You call or email, and we actually respond. Not three days later, not with a runaround. We schedule a time to come look at your roof that works for you.
We inspect the roof, the attic if needed, and any problem areas you’ve noticed. We’re looking for the actual issue, not just the symptom. A leak in your ceiling might be from flashing, ventilation, or something that happened three winters ago that’s finally showing up.
You get a clear estimate that breaks down what we’re doing and why. If there are options, metal versus asphalt shingles, different ventilation approaches, we explain the tradeoffs. You decide what makes sense for your house and budget.
We schedule the work, show up on time, and protect your property while we’re there. Tarps for landscaping, magnetic rollers for nails, careful placement of dumpsters. When we’re done, the job site is clean and your roof is watertight.
Then we follow up. If something seems off or you have questions six months later, you can reach us. That’s how it should work.

We handle full roof replacements, whether you’re going with asphalt shingles, metal roofing, or slate. That includes tearing off the old system, inspecting and repairing the decking, installing proper underlayment and ice barriers, and making sure ventilation is correct.
Emergency roof repairs are part of what we do. Storm damage, fallen trees, ice dam leaks, we respond quickly because waiting just makes it worse. We’ll tarp it, assess what needs immediate attention, and give you a plan for permanent fixes.
Roof maintenance matters in Peterborough. Regular inspections catch small problems before they become expensive ones. Flashing around chimneys and skylights, worn valleys, missing shingles, these are easy fixes if you catch them early. Most people don’t look at their roof until water is coming through the ceiling, and by then you’re looking at rotted decking and insulation replacement.
We also handle the details that other contractors skip. Proper attic ventilation to prevent ice dams. Matching your existing architecture if you’re doing a partial replacement. Working with your insurance after storm damage. Coordinating with other trades if your project involves more than just roofing.
Most roof replacements in Peterborough run between $8,000 and $15,000, but that range shifts based on your specific situation. A small ranch with basic asphalt shingles sits at the lower end. A larger colonial with multiple valleys, skylights, and premium materials pushes higher.
Your roof size matters most, obviously. But complexity drives cost too. If you’ve got steep pitches, multiple levels, or a lot of penetrations like chimneys and vents, that’s more labor and more materials for flashing and waterproofing.
Material choice makes a big difference. Standard architectural shingles are your baseline. Metal roofing costs more upfront but lasts 50-plus years and sheds snow better, which matters here. Slate is the premium option, lasting up to 100 years if maintained, but you’re paying for that longevity.
We give you an actual estimate after looking at your roof, not a phone quote based on square footage alone. Too many variables to guess accurately, and you deserve real numbers before making a decision.
Most residential roof replacements in Peterborough take two to four days of actual work. A straightforward ranch might be done in two days. A larger home with complexity could stretch to four or five.
Weather controls the timeline more than anything else. We can’t install roofing in rain or on icy surfaces, and New Hampshire weather doesn’t always cooperate. We’ll give you a start date, but if a storm rolls in, we pause until conditions are right. Rushing a roof installation to hit a deadline is how you end up with problems later.
The tear-off usually happens on day one. We remove the old shingles, inspect and repair the decking, and get the roof dried in with underlayment and ice barriers. Day two and beyond is installing the new roofing material, flashing, ridge vents, and cleaning up.
If we find rotted decking or structural issues during tear-off, that adds time. We’ll let you know immediately, explain what needs to happen, and adjust the timeline. It’s not common, but it happens, especially on older homes.
Metal roofing handles New Hampshire winters better than anything else. Snow slides off instead of building up, which reduces ice dam risk and structural load. It’s rated for wind up to 165 mph and hail impact. You’re looking at 50-plus years of life with minimal maintenance.
Asphalt shingles are the most common choice because they balance cost and performance. Quality architectural shingles hold up well here if they’re installed correctly with proper ventilation and ice barriers. You’ll get 20 to 30 years depending on the product. They’re easier to repair if you get storm damage.
Slate is the longest-lasting option, up to 100 years, but it’s expensive and heavy. Your roof structure needs to support the weight. If you’ve got an older home that already has slate, it’s worth maintaining. For new installations, most people find metal or premium asphalt makes more sense.
What matters most is installation quality. The best material installed poorly will fail. Proper underlayment, ice and water shield in valleys and eaves, correct flashing details, these aren’t optional in this climate. That’s where experience with local conditions matters.
If your roof is over 20 years old and you’re seeing multiple problem areas, replacement usually makes more sense than repairs. Patching one section doesn’t help if the rest is going to fail in the next few years. You end up paying twice.
Missing or damaged shingles in one area from a recent storm? That’s a repair. Widespread curling, granule loss, or shingles that look worn across the whole roof? That’s telling you the system is at the end of its life. Repairs become a temporary fix that buys you a year or two at best.
Interior signs matter too. Water stains on ceilings, especially if they’re in multiple rooms, suggest bigger issues. Daylight visible through roof boards in the attic means the decking is compromised. Sagging areas indicate structural problems that need immediate attention.
We’ll give you an honest assessment after inspection. If repairs make sense, we’ll tell you. If you’re throwing good money after bad, we’ll explain why replacement is the better investment. The goal is to help you make the right decision for your situation, not to upsell you on work you don’t need.
Yes, and we respond quickly because storm damage gets worse the longer it sits. A tarp and temporary patch can prevent thousands in additional water damage while we line up the permanent repair.
After a major storm, we prioritize active leaks and structural hazards. If a tree came through your roof or wind tore off a section, that’s an immediate safety issue. We’ll secure the area, document everything for insurance, and start repairs as soon as conditions allow.
Insurance claims are part of the process. We can work directly with your adjuster, provide documentation they need, and make sure the scope covers everything that’s damaged. A lot of storm damage isn’t obvious from the ground, hail impact, lifted shingles, damaged flashing, and adjusters sometimes miss things on a quick walk-around.
Even if the damage seems minor, get it looked at. A few missing shingles might not leak immediately, but the exposed underlayment will deteriorate. Small problems caught early are cheap fixes. The same problem six months later after water has been getting in? That’s rotted decking and interior damage.
Check if they’re actually certified by the manufacturers whose products they install. We’re an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor, which requires meeting specific standards for installation quality and customer service. That certification means something because it’s not automatic.
Ask how long they’ve been working in this area specifically. New Hampshire roofing is different from roofing in milder climates. Ice dams, snow loads, freeze-thaw cycles, these require specific knowledge and techniques. Someone who’s been handling Peterborough roofs for years knows what works and what fails.
Get a detailed written estimate that breaks down materials, labor, and timeline. Vague quotes or pressure to sign immediately are red flags. You should understand exactly what you’re paying for and have time to compare options.
References matter, but so does how we handle problems. Ask what happens if something goes wrong or if we find issues during tear-off. A contractor who gets defensive about that question or won’t give you a straight answer is telling you something important.
