Hear from Our Customers
You’re dealing with a leak that’s getting worse every time it rains. Or shingles that blew off during the last storm. Maybe your roof’s just old—20-plus years—and you’re starting to see granules in the gutters.
Whatever brought you here, the concern is the same: you need it fixed before it becomes a bigger problem. Before water gets into your walls. Before your energy bills climb even higher because heat’s escaping through gaps you can’t see.
That’s where we come in. We’ve been repairing roofs across Reading, MA since 2006. We handle emergency leaks, storm damage, shingle replacements, and full roof restorations. You get a licensed, insured roofing contractor who shows up when promised, diagnoses the real issue, and fixes it with materials built for New England weather.
No runaround. No disappearing after a deposit. Just straightforward roof repair that holds up through Massachusetts winters and keeps your home protected.
We’re based in Methuen and serve homeowners throughout Essex County, including Reading. We’re an Owens Corning® Preferred Contractor, which means we meet strict standards for quality and reliability—standards most contractors don’t qualify for.
We’ve seen what Massachusetts weather does to roofs. The ice dams in February. The wind damage in March. The slow leaks that start small and turn into ceiling stains by summer. Reading homes face the same challenges as the rest of the North Shore, and we’ve been solving them for nearly two decades.
You’re not hiring a fly-by-night crew. You’re working with a licensed, insured team that’s built a reputation on showing up, doing the work right, and standing behind it.
First, we come out and inspect your roof. Not just the obvious damage—we check the underlayment, flashing, ventilation, and structural integrity. You get a clear explanation of what’s wrong and what it’ll take to fix it.
Then we give you a free estimate. No pressure, no upselling. If it’s a simple shingle replacement, we tell you that. If the damage goes deeper, we walk you through your options and what each one costs.
Once you approve the work, we schedule it fast—especially if it’s an emergency. We use quality materials like Mule Hide Roofing products and CertainTeed shingles that are built to last in this climate. Our crew handles everything from tear-off to cleanup, and we don’t leave until the job’s done right.
If you’re filing an insurance claim for storm damage, we help with that too. We document everything, work with your adjuster, and make the process as painless as possible.

Roof repair isn’t one-size-fits-all. Sometimes it’s replacing a few damaged shingles after a windstorm. Other times it’s addressing a leak around the chimney flashing or fixing sagging sections caused by ice dam damage.
In Reading, the most common issues we see are wind-blown shingles, aging asphalt that’s lost its granules, and water intrusion from poor flashing or worn valleys. Massachusetts ranks highest in the country for roofs with less than four years of remaining life, which means a lot of homes here are overdue for attention.
When we repair your roof, we’re not just patching the visible problem. We’re checking for hidden damage—rotted decking, compromised underlayment, ventilation issues that cause moisture buildup. If your roof’s near the end of its 20-25 year lifespan, we’ll tell you whether a repair makes sense or if replacement is the smarter move.
You also get the benefit of working with a contractor who uses premium materials without charging premium prices. We’re not the cheapest option in Reading, and that’s intentional. You’re paying for materials that won’t fail in three years and workmanship that doesn’t cut corners.
It depends on what’s damaged and how much of it. A simple shingle replacement might run a few hundred dollars. Fixing a leak around flashing or repairing storm damage could be anywhere from $800 to $2,500. Larger repairs involving structural work or multiple problem areas can push toward $3,500 or more.
In Massachusetts, the average roof repair falls between $400 and $3,500. Reading’s housing stock—many homes built in the mid-20th century—means we often see roofs that need more than a quick patch. If your roof is over 20 years old, sometimes a repair just buys you a year or two before replacement becomes necessary.
We give you a free estimate after inspecting the damage. No guessing, no surprise charges later. You’ll know exactly what it costs before we start.
If the damage is localized—a few missing shingles, one leaky spot, isolated storm damage—repair usually makes sense. If you’re seeing problems in multiple areas, widespread granule loss, curling shingles, or your roof’s already 20-25 years old, replacement is probably the better investment.
Here’s the reality: asphalt shingle roofs last about two decades in New England. After that, even a good repair is temporary. You might fix one leak only to have another pop up six months later because the whole roof’s aging out.
We’ll tell you honestly which route makes more sense. If a repair buys you five more solid years, we’ll recommend it. If you’re throwing money at a roof that’s going to need replacement next year anyway, we’ll tell you that too.
Yes. If a storm just ripped shingles off or a tree branch punched through your roof, call us. We respond to emergencies and can get a tarp up fast to prevent further water damage while we schedule the permanent fix.
Massachusetts weather doesn’t wait for convenient timing. When your roof fails, water gets into your attic, insulation, and walls within hours. That’s when secondary damage starts—mold, rot, ruined ceilings. The faster you stop the water, the less you’ll pay in total repairs.
We keep our schedule flexible enough to handle urgent situations. You’re not waiting two weeks while rain pours into your living room. We get out there, assess the damage, and start protecting your home right away.
We do. If your roof was damaged by wind, hail, or falling debris, your homeowner’s insurance likely covers the repair. We document the damage, provide detailed estimates, and work directly with your adjuster to make sure the claim reflects the actual scope of work.
In 2022, water damage and ice accounted for nearly 20% of homeowners insurance claims in the U.S., with average payouts between $5,000 and $10,000. Insurance companies see a lot of roof claims, and they know what legitimate storm damage looks like. We make sure yours is documented properly so you’re not left covering costs that should be paid by your policy.
You still need to file the claim and handle communication with your insurer, but we take care of the technical side—the measurements, the material specs, the labor breakdown. It removes a lot of the stress from an already frustrating situation.
We primarily use Mule Hide Roofing products and CertainTeed shingles—both built to handle New England’s temperature swings, heavy snow loads, and high winds. These aren’t bargain-bin materials. They’re designed to last and come with solid manufacturer warranties.
If we’re replacing shingles, we match your existing roof as closely as possible so the repair blends in. If your roof’s old enough that matching isn’t feasible, we’ll talk through your options. Sometimes it makes sense to replace a full slope or section to avoid a patchwork look.
As an Owens Corning® Preferred Contractor, we also have access to their full product line when it’s the right fit for your project. The goal is always the same: use materials that’ll hold up for years, not just until the next storm.
Most repairs take anywhere from a few hours to a full day, depending on the extent of the damage. A simple shingle replacement might be done in two to three hours. Fixing flashing, repairing underlayment, or addressing multiple problem areas could take a full day or slightly more.
Weather plays a role too. We can’t install shingles in heavy rain or when ice is present, so winter repairs sometimes require waiting for a clear day. If it’s an emergency, we’ll tarp the area and schedule the permanent fix as soon as conditions allow.
We don’t drag jobs out. Once we’re on site, we work efficiently and clean up when we’re done. You’re not dealing with a half-finished roof sitting under tarps for weeks while we bounce between other jobs. We finish what we start.
