Hear from Our Customers
You’re not calling a roofing contractor because everything’s fine. Something’s wrong—water stains on your ceiling, missing shingles after last week’s storm, or ice dams that keep coming back every winter. You need it handled, and you need to know it won’t happen again next season.
Here’s what that actually looks like. No more buckets in the attic during rainstorms. No more wondering if that dark spot on the ceiling is getting bigger. No more emergency calls to roofers who don’t pick up or show up three weeks later with a quote that makes no sense.
When the repair is done correctly, your home stays dry. Your energy bills don’t spike because heat’s escaping through damaged areas. And when you’re ready to sell—whether that’s next year or in ten—you’re not scrambling to fix deferred problems that buyers’ inspectors will flag immediately.
We’ve worked on hundreds of roofs across Belmont, and we know what fails first on homes built before 1940. That matters here, because over half the housing stock in this town predates World War II. These homes have different roofing challenges than newer construction—steeper pitches, older flashing details, and materials that weren’t designed for today’s freeze-thaw cycles.
We’re an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor, which means we’ve met their standards for reliability and workmanship. We’re also licensed and insured in Massachusetts, and our BuildZoom score puts us in the top 8% of contractors statewide. That’s not marketing language—it’s verifiable.
You’ll work directly with our team from estimate to completion. We show up when we say we will, we explain what’s wrong in plain terms, and we give you a fair price before any work starts.
First, we schedule a free inspection at a time that works for you. We get on the roof, check the obvious problem areas, and look for issues you might not see from the ground—damaged flashing around chimneys and vents, worn pipe boots, or compromised shingles that haven’t started leaking yet but will.
Then we walk you through what we found. No jargon, no upselling. If it’s a simple fix, we tell you that. If there’s a bigger issue that’ll cause problems down the road, we explain why and show you photos so you can see it yourself.
Once you approve the work, we order materials and get it scheduled—usually within a week or two, depending on the season. The actual repair happens fast. Most jobs take a day, sometimes less. We protect your landscaping, clean up completely, and make sure everything’s sealed and secure before we leave.
After we’re done, you get a warranty on the work. And if you have questions six months later, you can call us. We pick up.

Most roof leaks in Belmont come from a short list of culprits. Pipe boot flashings fail first—they crack from UV exposure and temperature swings. Chimney flashing is the second most common leak source, especially on older homes where the original flashing was never updated. Ice dams are the third, and they’re relentless here because of how Massachusetts winters work.
We fix all of it. Shingle replacement after wind or hail damage. Flashing repairs around chimneys, skylights, and vents. Ice dam damage and the underlying issues that cause them—usually poor attic ventilation or insulation gaps. Emergency repairs when a storm hits and you need a tarp or temporary patch until we can do the full fix.
We also handle the less obvious stuff. Fascia and soffit damage that lets water behind your roofline. Gutter issues that overflow and rot out your trim. Small problems that turn into expensive ones if you wait.
Belmont’s housing stock is old, and old roofs fail in predictable ways. We’ve seen it hundreds of times, and we know how to fix it so it holds up through the next winter—and the one after that.
Most roof repairs in this area run between $400 and $1,800, with the average landing around $1,100. That’s for common issues—replacing damaged shingles, fixing flashing, sealing leaks, or repairing storm damage.
The actual cost depends on what’s wrong. A simple shingle replacement after wind damage might cost $400. A full chimney flashing replacement with underlying deck repair could hit $1,800 or more. If there’s structural damage underneath—rotted decking or compromised rafters—that adds to the scope.
We give you a free estimate before any work starts, and we break down exactly what you’re paying for. No surprises, no change orders unless you approve them first.
If you have an active leak, we prioritize it. In most cases, we can get someone out within 24 to 48 hours to assess the damage and do a temporary repair—tarping, sealing, or patching to stop water from coming in.
The permanent fix usually happens within a week, depending on materials and weather. If it’s the middle of winter and conditions aren’t safe, we make sure the temporary repair holds until we can complete the job properly.
After major storms, everyone calls at once, so there can be delays. But we’re responsive, and we’ll tell you upfront what the timeline looks like. If we can’t get there same-day, we’ll walk you through what to do in the meantime to minimize damage.
Ice dams form when heat escapes through your roof, melts snow, and then refreezes at the eaves where it’s colder. The ice builds up, traps water behind it, and forces it under your shingles. That’s when you get leaks—usually in the attic or along exterior walls.
The fix isn’t just removing the ice. It’s addressing why your roof is warming unevenly in the first place. That usually means improving attic insulation, sealing air leaks, and adding or repairing roof ventilation so cold air circulates properly.
We inspect the attic during our assessment to see what’s going on. If your insulation is thin or your soffit vents are blocked, we’ll tell you. Fixing the root cause means you’re not dealing with the same problem every February. And in Belmont, where winter temperatures swing between 20 and 40 degrees constantly, that freeze-thaw cycle will find every weak point in your roof.
If the damage is localized—a few missing shingles, a leaking flashing, storm damage in one area—repair makes sense. It’s faster, cheaper, and gets you another several years of life if the rest of the roof is still solid.
If your roof is over 20 years old, has multiple problem areas, or shows widespread wear—curling shingles, granule loss, soft spots—replacement is usually the smarter move. Patching an old roof is like putting new tires on a car with a blown engine. You’ll spend money now and again in two years.
We’ll tell you honestly which route makes sense. If a repair buys you five more years and you’re planning to sell soon, that’s worth knowing. If you’re staying in the house and the roof’s on its last legs, we’ll explain why replacement saves you money long-term. We don’t push you either way—we just give you the information so you can decide.
Yes, and we’re very familiar with them. Over half of Belmont’s homes were built before 1940, and those roofs have unique challenges—steeper pitches, slate or tile materials, old flashing systems, and framing that wasn’t designed for modern roofing products.
We’ve repaired and replaced roofs on Colonials, Victorians, and early 20th-century homes throughout this area. We know how to work with existing structures without compromising their integrity, and we know which materials and methods hold up best on older construction.
If your home has original slate or tile, we can repair or replace individual pieces without tearing off the whole roof. If the flashing details are outdated, we upgrade them using techniques that work with the original design. And if there’s hidden damage underneath—rotted decking, old skip sheathing, compromised rafters—we handle that too. Older homes need contractors who understand how they were built. We do.
Yes. We hold a Massachusetts Home Improvement Contractor license, and we carry full liability insurance and workers’ compensation coverage. That protects you if something goes wrong on the job—damage to your property, an injury, or any issue that comes up during the work.
We’re also an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor, which requires meeting strict standards for business practices, customer service, and workmanship. Our BuildZoom score ranks us in the top 8% of licensed contractors in Massachusetts, based on verified licensing, insurance, and track record.
You can verify our license and insurance before we start. We’re happy to provide that documentation, and we recommend you ask any contractor you’re considering to do the same. It’s the easiest way to separate legitimate companies from fly-by-night operators who disappear after the deposit clears.
