You’re not paying for shingles. You’re paying for dry ceilings when it rains. For lower heating bills in January. For not worrying every time the forecast shows wind or ice.
A properly repaired roof stops leaks before they rot your attic framing or ruin insulation. It keeps ice dams from forming along your eaves when temperatures swing 30 degrees overnight, which happens constantly in Massachusetts. It protects the equity you’ve built in a home worth over $850,000.
Most North Andover homes were built in the late 70s and early 80s. If your roof is original or close to it, you’re past the 20-25 year lifespan of asphalt shingles. Even if it looks fine from the street, there’s likely damage you can’t see yet. That’s the stuff that costs you later.
We’ve been fixing roofs in North Andover and throughout Essex County for nearly two decades. We’re an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor, which means we meet their standards for quality and customer service, not just ours.
We’re local to Lynn and we work in your neighborhood regularly. We know what New England weather does to roofs because we see it every day. We handle insurance claims, emergency repairs, and full replacements.
You’ll work with the same crew from estimate to cleanup. No subcontractors. No surprises. Just clear communication and roofs that hold up.
First, we come out and inspect your roof. We’re looking for obvious damage like missing shingles or flashing issues, but also for things you wouldn’t spot from the ground—worn valleys, cracked seals, early signs of water intrusion. We take photos and explain what we find in plain terms.
Then we give you a written estimate. If insurance is involved, we document everything you’ll need for your claim. No runaround, no pressure.
Once you approve the work, we schedule it based on weather and material availability. Most repairs take one to three days depending on scope. We protect your landscaping, handle all debris removal, and walk you through the finished work before we leave.
If it’s an emergency—active leak, storm damage, missing sections—we can often get a temporary fix in place same-day or next-day while we line up the full repair.

We handle leak repairs, shingle replacement, flashing work, storm damage fixes, and ice dam prevention. We also repair flat roofs, which are common on North Andover porches and additions.
Every job includes a full inspection so we catch related issues before they become separate problems. We use Mule Hide and Owens Corning materials—products built for Massachusetts weather, not the cheapest option at the supplier.
North Andover gets hit hard by winter. Ice dams are a recurring nightmare here because of how fast temperatures shift. We install proper ventilation and insulation during repairs to reduce that risk going forward. It’s not just about patching what’s broken; it’s about preventing the next failure.
If your roof is older, we’ll tell you honestly whether a repair makes sense or if you’re better off replacing it. We’re not here to sell you something you don’t need, but we won’t put a band-aid on a roof that’s going to fail in two years either.
If your roof is under 15 years old and the damage is localized—a few missing shingles, a small leak, storm damage to one section—repair usually makes sense. You’re extending the life of a roof that still has years left.
If your roof is over 20 years old, you’re seeing multiple leaks, shingles are curling or losing granules across large areas, or you’ve already done several repairs, replacement is probably the smarter move. At that point, you’re chasing problems instead of solving them.
We’ll inspect the whole roof and give you an honest assessment. Sometimes it’s a gray area, and we’ll explain the pros and cons of both options so you can make the call that fits your timeline and budget.
Minor repairs—fixing a small leak, replacing a few shingles, resealing flashing—typically run $300 to $800. Larger repairs like replacing a section damaged by a fallen branch, fixing extensive flashing around chimneys, or addressing ice dam damage usually fall between $1,000 and $3,500.
The variables are size of the damaged area, accessibility, materials needed, and whether there’s underlying damage to decking or insulation. A leak that’s been dripping for months will cost more to fix than one you caught right away because we’re repairing rot and water damage, not just the roof surface.
We provide written estimates before starting any work. If your damage is from a storm or wind, your homeowners insurance may cover most or all of the cost. We’ll document everything you need for the claim.
It depends on what caused the damage. Storm damage, wind damage, hail, and falling trees are typically covered. Wear and tear, aging, and lack of maintenance usually aren’t.
If a storm ripped shingles off your roof or a branch punched a hole during high winds, you’ll likely have coverage. If your 25-year-old roof is leaking because it’s worn out, insurance won’t pay for that.
We work with insurance claims regularly. We’ll document the damage with photos and notes, provide a detailed estimate, and explain what happened in terms your adjuster will understand. That doesn’t guarantee approval, but it helps your case. The average payout for wind and water damage in Massachusetts is between $5,000 and $10,000, so it’s worth filing if you have storm-related damage.
Most repairs take one to three days depending on the scope and weather. A simple shingle replacement or flashing repair might be done in a few hours. Larger jobs—replacing a whole section, fixing structural damage, addressing multiple problem areas—can take two to three days.
Weather delays are common in Massachusetts. We can’t install shingles in heavy rain or when temperatures drop below freezing because the adhesive won’t seal properly. If conditions aren’t right, we’ll reschedule rather than do subpar work.
For emergency repairs, we prioritize getting your roof watertight fast, even if that means a temporary fix while we wait for materials or better weather to complete the permanent repair. We’re not leaving you with a tarp for weeks.
Ice dams form when heat escapes through your roof and melts snow. The water runs down to the colder eaves and refreezes, creating a dam. More meltwater backs up behind it and leaks under your shingles into your home.
North Andover sees this constantly because temperatures swing so drastically. It can be 35 degrees at noon and 10 degrees by midnight. That freeze-thaw cycle is brutal on roofs.
Prevention comes down to ventilation and insulation. Your attic needs to stay cold in winter so snow doesn’t melt unevenly. We install proper ridge and soffit vents during repairs to improve airflow, and we’ll tell you if your insulation needs upgrading. Some homes also benefit from heated cables along the eaves, but that’s treating the symptom, not the cause. Fixing the ventilation is the real solution. Ice dam damage can cost $2,000 to $5,000 to repair, so prevention is worth the investment.
Yes. If you have an active leak, storm damage, or missing shingles that are letting water in, call us. We prioritize emergencies and can usually get someone out same-day or next-day to assess the damage and get a temporary fix in place.
Emergency repairs aren’t always pretty, but they stop the bleeding while we line up materials and schedule the permanent fix. That might mean tarping a section, sealing a leak from the inside, or doing a quick shingle patch to get you through the next rain.
We’ve been through enough New England storms to know that waiting isn’t an option when your roof is compromised. Water damage gets expensive fast, and it spreads. The sooner we can stop it, the less you’ll pay overall.
