You know what happens when a roof problem gets ignored. Water finds its way into the attic. Insulation gets soaked. Ceilings start to stain. What started as a small leak becomes a multi-thousand-dollar headache.
Hampton’s weather doesn’t give you much room for error. Between nor’easters that dump feet of snow and ice dams that form along your eaves, your roof takes a beating every winter. Add in summer storms and you’re looking at year-round exposure.
A proper roof repair means you’re not patching the same spot every season. It means your home stays dry when the next blizzard hits. It means you’re not scrambling to find emergency help at 9 PM because water’s dripping into your living room. You get back to normal life without the constant worry that something’s about to give out overhead.
We earned Owens Corning Preferred Contractor status because we meet their strict standards for quality and reliability. That certification isn’t handed out freely—it means you get access to premium materials and enhanced warranties that most contractors can’t offer.
We rank in the top 8% of licensed contractors in Massachusetts according to BuildZoom. That’s not marketing talk—it’s a data-driven score based on actual project performance, licensing, and customer outcomes.
Hampton homeowners deal with specific challenges. Most homes here were built around 1978, which means roofs are hitting or past their expected lifespan. You’re dealing with heavy snow loads, ice dam risks, and coastal weather patterns that accelerate wear. We’ve handled these exact conditions for over a decade across the seacoast region.
First, we come out and actually look at your roof. Not a quick glance from the ground—a real inspection where we identify the damage, check surrounding areas, and figure out what’s causing the problem in the first place.
You get a clear estimate that breaks down materials, labor, and timeline. No vague “we’ll see when we get up there” pricing. If we find something unexpected once work starts, we talk to you before adding anything to the scope.
Then we handle the actual repair using Owens Corning materials designed for New England weather. That means shingles rated for freeze-thaw cycles, proper ice and water shield installation, and ventilation that prevents future ice dam formation. We’re not just covering the hole—we’re fixing why it happened.
Cleanup happens the same day. Nails get picked up with magnets, debris goes in our truck, and your property looks like we were never there except for the fact that your roof no longer leaks.

Every roof repair includes a full assessment of the damaged area plus the surrounding sections. We’re looking for hidden damage, compromised decking, and any signs that the problem extends beyond what’s visible from below.
Materials matter in Hampton’s climate. You’re getting architectural shingles that handle temperature swings from below zero to summer heat. Underlayment gets upgraded in vulnerable areas. Flashing around chimneys, vents, and valleys gets replaced if there’s any question about its integrity.
The average roof repair cost in Hampton runs between $800 and $3,500 depending on extent of damage and materials needed. That’s significantly less than the $13,600 to $19,000 you’d spend on full replacement—but only if the repair is done correctly the first time. Cheap fixes that fail in six months end up costing you more.
We also handle emergency roof repair when storms hit. Hampton saw $6 million in property damage during the 1978 blizzard, and nor’easters still cause serious problems every winter. If you’ve got active leaking or structural concerns, we prioritize getting someone out fast.
If the damage is localized to one area—like storm damage from a fallen branch or a section where shingles blew off—repair usually makes sense. You’re looking at a specific problem with a specific fix.
Replacement becomes the better option when you’re dealing with widespread issues. If your roof is over 20 years old and you’re seeing curling shingles across multiple sections, granule loss in the gutters, or multiple leak points, patching individual spots just delays the inevitable.
Here’s the practical test: if repair costs are approaching 30% of what a new roof would cost, and your roof is already past the 15-year mark, replacement gives you better long-term value. You’re not throwing good money after bad, and you’re getting a warranty that actually means something. We’ll tell you honestly which direction makes sense for your situation and your budget.
Ice dams form when heat escapes through your roof and melts snow unevenly. The melted water runs down to the colder eaves, refreezes, and creates a dam that forces water back up under your shingles. That’s when you get leaks, even though the roof itself might be intact.
Repair can address ice dam damage, but preventing them requires looking at the whole system. You need proper attic insulation to keep heat from escaping, adequate ventilation to maintain consistent roof temperature, and ice and water shield installed along the eaves as a backup barrier.
If you’re getting ice dams every winter, fixing the damaged shingles won’t stop the cycle. We look at insulation levels, check for air leaks from the living space into the attic, and make sure your soffit and ridge vents are actually moving air. Hampton’s heavy snow loads make this especially important—you can’t just ignore the root cause and expect different results next February.
Most repairs take one day once we’re on site. If we’re replacing a section of damaged shingles and the decking underneath is solid, you’re looking at a few hours of actual work plus cleanup.
Larger repairs—like addressing multiple leak points or replacing damaged decking—might extend to two days. Weather plays a role too. We’re not tearing your roof open if there’s rain in the forecast, because exposing your home to more water damage defeats the purpose.
Emergency repairs get handled differently. If you’ve got active leaking and need immediate help, we’ll do temporary weatherproofing to stop the water, then come back to complete the permanent repair when conditions allow. The goal is protecting your home first, then doing the quality work that lasts. Hampton’s weather doesn’t always cooperate with construction schedules, so we build in flexibility while making sure you’re not left vulnerable.
It depends on what caused the damage. Storm damage, fallen trees, and sudden events are typically covered under standard homeowners policies. Wear and tear from an aging roof usually isn’t.
Insurance companies want documentation. We provide detailed photos, written assessments, and itemized estimates that give your adjuster exactly what they need to process the claim. If the adjuster’s estimate seems low, we can walk through the scope with them and explain why certain repairs are necessary.
Here’s what trips people up: if your roof was already in poor condition before the storm, insurance might only cover the new damage, not the underlying problems. That’s why keeping up with maintenance matters. A roof inspection every few years creates a record that your roof was in good shape before the event. We’ve worked with dozens of insurance claims across Hampton and the seacoast area—we know what adjusters look for and how to document everything properly so you’re not fighting for coverage you should be getting.
Owens Corning doesn’t hand out Preferred Contractor status to everyone with a ladder and a nail gun. You have to meet specific requirements: proper licensing, insurance coverage, a track record of quality work, and ongoing training on their products and installation methods.
For you, that means access to better warranties. Owens Corning offers enhanced coverage through Preferred Contractors that you can’t get otherwise. It also means the materials we’re installing come with manufacturer backing—if something goes wrong, you’re not stuck in a finger-pointing situation between the contractor and the shingle company.
The training component matters more than people realize. Roofing products evolve. Installation techniques improve. A Preferred Contractor stays current on best practices instead of doing things the same way they did in 1995. When we’re repairing your roof, we’re using methods that Owens Corning has tested and approved for New England’s specific climate challenges. That’s not marketing—it’s the difference between a repair that lasts and one that fails during the next big storm.
We can do roof repairs in winter, but there are limitations. Asphalt shingles need temperatures above 40-45 degrees to seal properly. Below that, the adhesive strips don’t activate, which means shingles won’t bond to each other the way they’re designed to.
If you’ve got an emergency—active leaking, major storm damage, structural concerns—we handle it regardless of temperature. We use cold-weather installation techniques and materials rated for low temps. Sometimes that means temporary weatherproofing to get you through the worst of winter, then completing the permanent repair when conditions improve.
The ideal window for roof work in Hampton runs from late April through October. You get consistent temperatures, lower humidity, and weather patterns that don’t involve three feet of snow landing on an open roof. That said, we’re not going to tell you to live with a tarp on your roof all winter if there’s a way to fix it properly. Every situation is different—we look at the actual damage, current weather, and forecast before recommending whether to repair now or wait for better conditions.
