Your energy bills drop because heat stays where it belongs. No more space heaters running overtime in January or AC struggling through August because your roof can’t do its job.
You stop wondering if the next storm will mean buckets in the hallway. When wind picks up or rain comes sideways off the ocean, your roof handles it without you losing sleep.
Your home looks the way it should. No more curled shingles, streaky stains, or that saggy spot you’ve been ignoring. Just a roof that protects your investment and doesn’t embarrass you when neighbors walk by.
We’ve worked on roofs across the North Shore and Seacoast New Hampshire for over a decade. We’re an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor, which means we meet standards most roofers don’t bother with.
We’re licensed, insured, and ranked in the top 8% of Massachusetts contractors by BuildZoom. That’s not marketing talk—it’s verifiable. You can look it up.
Rye homes deal with salt air, high winds, and temperature swings that most inland properties never see. We’ve replaced enough coastal roofs to know what holds up and what fails in three years. That experience matters when you’re picking materials and methods.
You call or contact us. We schedule a time that works for you—not just when we have a gap. Someone comes out to look at your roof in person, not from the driveway.
We measure, inspect, and talk through what you actually need. If it’s a repair, we’ll tell you. If it’s replacement, we explain why and show you the problem areas. You get a written estimate that breaks down materials, labor, and timeline.
Once you approve, we order materials and lock in your start date. Our crew shows up when we say they will, protects your landscaping, and tears off the old roof. New underlayment goes down, then shingles or metal—whatever you chose. We clean up daily, not just at the end.
Final walkthrough happens with you. We make sure you’re satisfied before we consider the job done. Then we handle warranty paperwork and leave you with documentation you’ll actually need if something comes up years later.

You’re not just getting shingles slapped on. Every roof replacement includes new underlayment, proper ventilation checks, and flashing around chimneys, vents, and skylights. These details matter in Rye where wind-driven rain finds every weak point.
We handle storm damage repairs fast. Nor’easters don’t wait for convenient timing, and neither do we. If a tree branch punches through or wind peels back shingles, we can get emergency tarps up and permanent fixes scheduled quickly.
Roof maintenance keeps small problems from becoming expensive ones. We inspect, clean debris, check for loose or damaged shingles, and catch issues while they’re still cheap to fix. Most Rye homeowners don’t realize how much damage salt air does until it’s too late. Regular inspections change that.
Metal roofing is gaining ground here because it lasts 40+ years and handles coastal weather better than asphalt. We install both. Your choice depends on budget, how long you plan to stay, and what your neighborhood looks like. We’ll walk through pros and cons without pushing you either direction.
Most roof replacements in Rye run between $8,000 and $25,000 depending on size, pitch, and materials. A typical 2,000 square foot home with architectural shingles usually lands around $12,000 to $16,000.
Coastal location adds cost because materials need to withstand salt air and high winds. Cheaper shingles fail faster here, so most homeowners go mid-grade or better. Metal roofing costs more upfront—usually $18,000 to $30,000 for the same house—but lasts twice as long.
Pitch matters too. Steeper roofs take longer and require more safety equipment. If your roof is complicated with multiple valleys, dormers, or skylights, expect the higher end of the range. We give you exact numbers after seeing your specific roof, not ballpark guesses over the phone.
Asphalt shingle roofs in Rye typically last 18 to 22 years, which is shorter than the 25-year estimates you see for inland areas. Salt air, UV exposure, and wind shear all shorten lifespan.
Metal roofs hold up better—40 to 50 years isn’t unusual. They don’t absorb moisture, resist algae growth, and handle high winds without lifting. That’s why you’re seeing more metal roofs pop up in coastal New Hampshire neighborhoods.
The quality of installation matters as much as materials. A roof installed without proper ventilation or with inadequate underlayment will fail early no matter what shingles you use. We’ve torn off 10-year-old roofs that should’ve lasted twice that long because someone cut corners during install.
Metal roofing performs best in coastal environments. It doesn’t corrode from salt air if it’s properly coated, won’t curl or crack from temperature swings, and high winds can’t peel it off like shingles.
Architectural asphalt shingles are the budget-friendly option most Rye homeowners choose. They work fine if you use algae-resistant versions rated for high wind. Expect to replace them sooner than the warranty suggests—coastal conditions aren’t what manufacturers test for.
Avoid three-tab shingles near the ocean. They’re too thin and light. We’ve seen them fail in under 10 years from wind damage alone. Slate and tile look great and last forever, but they’re expensive and your roof structure might need reinforcement to handle the weight. Most people don’t go that route unless they’re renovating a historic property.
If you’re missing shingles in one area from storm damage, that’s usually repairable. Same with a small leak around a chimney or vent—new flashing fixes it.
You need replacement when you’ve got widespread curling, granule loss across multiple sections, or shingles that are brittle and cracking. If your roof is over 18 years old and you’re seeing multiple problem spots, repairs become a temporary band-aid. You’ll spend $1,500 now and still need a new roof in two years.
We’ll tell you honestly which situation you’re in. There’s no point selling you a $15,000 roof if $800 in repairs buys you three more years and you’re planning to sell anyway. But we also won’t patch something that’s going to fail next winter and leave you with water damage that costs more than the roof would have.
Most residential roof replacements take two to four days depending on size and complexity. A straightforward ranch might be done in a day and a half. A two-story colonial with multiple roof lines usually takes three full days.
Weather delays happen, especially in spring and fall when conditions change fast. We don’t work in heavy rain or high winds—not because we’re picky, but because it’s unsafe and compromises the install. If we have to stop mid-job, we make sure everything is watertight before we leave.
Tear-off happens first and creates the most noise and mess. That’s usually done in a few hours. The rest is installing underlayment, shingles, and flashing. Cleanup happens at the end of each day. We use magnetic rollers to pick up nails because the last thing you need is a flat tire in your own driveway.
Insurance covers storm damage and sudden events like fallen trees. It doesn’t cover wear and tear or roofs that failed because they’re old. If a nor’easter rips off shingles, you’re likely covered minus your deductible.
You’ll need documentation. Take photos right after damage happens, before temporary repairs. Get a professional inspection that details what’s storm damage versus pre-existing wear. Insurance adjusters look for reasons to deny claims—don’t give them one by waiting weeks to report it.
We work with insurance companies regularly and can help document damage properly. Some adjusters lowball estimates or claim damage isn’t as severe as it is. We provide detailed reports that show exactly what needs fixing and why. You’re not obligated to use us for repairs, but having accurate documentation helps regardless of who does the work.
