Hear from Our Customers
You noticed the water stain on your ceiling. Or maybe you’re up in the attic and see daylight where you shouldn’t. Roof problems don’t announce themselves until they’ve already done damage, and in Somerville, our weather doesn’t give you much time to think it over.
A small leak turns into rotted decking. That ice dam you ignored last winter just compromised your insulation. The longer you wait, the more expensive this gets.
We handle roof repairs the way they should be done: show up when we say we will, find the actual source of the problem, and fix it so it doesn’t come back next season. You’re not paying for a patch job that fails in six months. You’re getting a repair that holds up through Massachusetts winters, summer heat, and everything in between.
Most of our Somerville customers call us because they’re tired of roofers who don’t return calls or show up three weeks late. We’ve been doing this since 2006, and we’re still here because we do what we say.
Paradise Remodeling Inc isn’t the biggest roofing company in Massachusetts. We’re the one that answers the phone, shows up on time, and doesn’t disappear after the job’s done.
We’re based locally and we’ve worked on hundreds of roofs across Somerville, Medford, Cambridge, and the Greater Boston area. We know what Massachusetts weather does to roofing materials. We’ve seen every type of ice dam, wind damage, and thermal shock issue you can imagine.
We’re an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor, which means we meet their standards for quality and service. We’re fully licensed and insured. Our BuildZoom score ranks us in the top 8% of over 139,000 Massachusetts contractors. But what matters more is that we’re still getting calls from customers we worked with years ago, because they know we’ll take care of them.
First, we actually answer the phone. You’ll talk to someone who can help you, not a voicemail system.
We schedule a time that works for you to come out and inspect your roof. We’re looking for the real problem, not just the obvious symptom. A leak in your living room might be coming from damage fifteen feet away from where you see water. We trace it back to the source.
Once we find the issue, we explain what’s wrong in plain language. No jargon, no upselling you on a full replacement if you don’t need one. We give you a straightforward estimate for the repair.
If you want to move forward, we schedule the work. We show up when we say we will, complete the repair correctly, and clean up after ourselves. We use quality materials that are built for New England weather because cheap fixes don’t last here.
After we’re done, you have our number. If you have questions or concerns, we’re responsive. We don’t vanish after we cash your check.

We repair roof leaks, damaged shingles, storm and wind damage, ice dam damage, and structural issues caused by Massachusetts weather. If your roof is letting water in or losing shingles, we can fix it.
Somerville homes face specific challenges. Your roof deals with rapid temperature swings that cause thermal shock—materials expanding and contracting until they crack or separate. Winter ice dams are practically guaranteed if your attic insulation or ventilation isn’t right. Spring storms bring wind that tears off shingles weakened by winter freeze-thaw cycles.
We handle emergency repairs when storms hit. If a tree branch just punched through your roof or you’re dealing with active water intrusion, we prioritize getting someone out there fast to stop further damage.
For non-emergency repairs, we work efficiently without cutting corners. We match your existing materials when possible, seal everything properly, and make sure the repair blends with the rest of your roof. You shouldn’t be able to tell where we worked unless you’re specifically looking for it.
If the damage is localized to one area—a few missing shingles, a small leak, storm damage to a section—repair usually makes sense. If your roof is over 20 years old, has widespread curling or missing shingles, or you’re seeing leaks in multiple areas, replacement might be more cost-effective.
We’ll tell you honestly which situation you’re in. There’s no point repairing a roof that’s going to fail in two years, but there’s also no reason to replace a roof that has ten good years left just because one section needs work.
Age matters, but so does the overall condition. A 15-year-old roof with isolated damage is a repair. A 25-year-old roof with shingles that are brittle and cracking across the whole surface is a replacement. We assess the whole picture and give you a straight answer.
For active leaks causing interior damage, we prioritize emergency response. Depending on our current schedule and the severity, we can often get someone out the same day or next day to at least stop the water intrusion with a temporary fix.
The permanent repair might take a bit longer to schedule, especially if we need to order specific materials to match your roof. But we won’t leave you with water pouring into your house while we wait for shingles to arrive.
If you’re calling during or right after a major storm, understand that we’re likely handling multiple emergency calls. We triage based on severity—active interior flooding gets priority over a small attic drip. But we’ll communicate clearly about timing and won’t leave you guessing when we’ll show up.
Ice dams form when heat escapes through your roof, melts snow on the upper sections, and that water runs down and refreezes at the colder eaves. The ice builds up, blocks drainage, and forces water back under your shingles. That’s when you get leaks.
Roof repair alone won’t fix ice dams if the root cause is poor attic insulation or ventilation. We can repair the damage ice dams caused—replace rotted decking, fix leaks, install better ice and water shield. But if your attic is bleeding heat, you’ll just get more ice dams next winter.
The real solution combines proper attic insulation, adequate ventilation, and quality roofing materials installed correctly. We can assess your whole system and recommend what actually needs to happen. Sometimes it’s a roofing fix. Sometimes it’s insulation work. Usually it’s both. We’ll tell you what we see and what will actually solve the problem long-term.
Small repairs like replacing a few shingles or sealing a minor leak might run a few hundred dollars. Larger repairs—fixing storm damage across a section, replacing damaged decking, addressing multiple problem areas—can range from $800 to $3,000 or more depending on scope.
Every roof is different. Access difficulty, materials needed, extent of damage, and what we find once we open things up all affect cost. A leak you can see might have hidden damage underneath that we can’t assess until we remove the damaged section.
We provide clear estimates before starting work. If we discover additional damage during the repair, we stop and discuss it with you before proceeding. You won’t get surprise charges for work you didn’t approve. The goal is to fix your roof correctly without breaking your budget, and sometimes that means being creative about phasing repairs if everything doesn’t need to happen at once.
It depends on what caused the damage. Storm damage, wind damage, falling tree limbs—those are typically covered events. Gradual wear and tear, aging materials, or damage from lack of maintenance usually aren’t covered.
If you’re filing a claim, document everything before repairs start. Take photos, note when the damage occurred, and contact your insurance company promptly. We can work with your adjuster and provide detailed documentation of the damage and repair scope.
Some insurance companies try to lowball repair estimates or claim damage is pre-existing when it’s not. We’ve worked with enough adjusters to know what’s reasonable. If your claim gets denied or the payout seems too low, we can provide a detailed assessment that you can use to challenge their decision. We’re not public adjusters, but we know what proper repairs cost and we’ll back up our estimates.
A properly done repair using quality materials should last as long as the surrounding roof sections. If your roof has 10 years of life left and we repair one area correctly, that repair should hold for those 10 years.
The caveat is that we can’t make old materials young again. If we’re patching a 20-year-old roof, the repair will be solid but the rest of your roof is still 20 years old. You might need additional repairs as other sections age and fail.
That’s why we’re honest about overall roof condition during our assessment. If your roof is near the end of its lifespan, we’ll tell you that repairs are a short-term solution and you should budget for replacement in the next few years. If your roof is relatively young and just sustained isolated damage, a good repair should last until the whole roof needs replacement decades from now. We give you the information you need to make the right decision for your situation and timeline.
