You stop worrying every time snow piles up or temperatures drop below freezing. No more wondering if that ice dam is forming again at the edge, no more checking the attic for new water stains after a storm.
A roof that’s built right for Sandown’s climate means you’re not calling for emergency repairs in January. It means your heating bill isn’t climbing because warm air is escaping through poor insulation. It means you can sell your home without explaining away visible wear or recent leak damage.
The difference shows up in what doesn’t happen. No surprise leaks during the spring thaw. No shingles in your yard after high winds. No structural damage from ice buildup that could’ve been prevented with proper installation and materials designed for this exact climate.
Paradise Remodeling Inc is an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor, which means we meet requirements most roofing companies don’t. That certification isn’t automatic—it’s earned through proven installation quality and customer satisfaction.
We’ve worked in Sandown long enough to know what happens when contractors cut corners on ice dam prevention or use materials that can’t handle freeze-thaw cycles. We’ve seen the aftermath of rushed jobs and missing flashing details. That’s exactly what we don’t do.
Since 2012, we’ve handled roof replacements on colonial homes, repairs after nor’easters, and full tear-offs on properties where the previous roof failed early. Sandown homeowners deal with real weather challenges, and your roof needs someone who understands that six inches of snow means it’s time to think about load capacity, not just aesthetics.
We start with an on-site consultation where we actually get on your roof—not just look at it from the ground. You’ll know if you need a full replacement or if targeted repairs will buy you time. We measure everything, check for hidden damage around chimneys and valleys, and look for signs of ice dam damage or poor ventilation.
Once you approve the estimate, we handle permits and schedule the work around weather windows that make sense. Our crew shows up with the materials already selected for New Hampshire conditions—proper underlayment, ice and water shield where it matters, and shingles rated for the temperature swings you get here.
During installation, we protect your property. That means tarps for landscaping, magnetic rollers for stray nails, and contained debris removal. We don’t leave a mess. The tear-off, installation, and cleanup typically take two to four days depending on roof size and complexity, and we assign a supervisor you can reach directly if questions come up.
After we’re done, you get warranty documentation for both materials and labor. We walk the property with you, answer your questions about maintenance, and explain what to watch for as your new roof settles in.

You’re getting a roofing contractor who knows Sandown’s building requirements and climate demands. That means proper ice dam prevention with adequate ice and water shield coverage—not the bare minimum. It means ventilation designed to prevent heat buildup that causes snow to melt unevenly and refreeze at the edges.
We install asphalt shingles that hold up to New Hampshire winters, and we can discuss metal roofing if you want better snow shedding and longer lifespan. Every roof gets flashing that’s sealed correctly around chimneys, skylights, and roof valleys where leaks most commonly start. We’re not skipping steps to finish faster.
For Sandown homeowners, winter durability matters more than curb appeal, though you’ll get both. Your roof needs to handle snow loads that can hit 50 pounds per square foot or more during heavy winters. It needs to resist wind-driven rain and the expansion-contraction cycle that happens when temperatures swing forty degrees in a day.
We also handle storm damage repairs and emergency leak fixes. If a nor’easter takes shingles off or a tree branch punches through, you need someone who can tarp it properly and schedule permanent repairs without a six-week wait.
Most homeowners in Sandown spend between $10,000 and $20,000 for a complete roof replacement, depending on roof size, pitch, and material choice. A straightforward ranch with asphalt shingles sits at the lower end. A two-story colonial with multiple valleys, chimneys, or steep angles costs more because of labor complexity and material waste.
Metal roofing runs higher upfront—sometimes 20-30% more than asphalt—but lasts twice as long and handles snow better. If your roof has existing damage to decking or structural issues from previous leaks, that adds to the cost because we’re fixing problems, not just covering them up.
The price includes tear-off, disposal, new underlayment, ice and water shield, shingles or panels, flashing, ridge vents, and cleanup. We don’t surprise you with add-ons after the estimate. You’ll know what it costs before we start, and we explain why each line item matters for a roof that lasts in New Hampshire weather.
If your roof is under 15 years old and the damage is localized—like missing shingles from a storm or a small leak around a chimney—repairs usually make sense. You’re buying time without the full replacement cost, and a quality repair can last years if the rest of the roof is still solid.
But if you’re seeing multiple leaks, widespread shingle curling, or granule loss across large sections, repairs become a short-term band-aid. Roofs in Sandown typically last 20-25 years with asphalt shingles, less if installation was poor or ventilation is inadequate. Once you’re past the 18-year mark, replacement is usually smarter financially because you’re not throwing money at a roof that’s near the end anyway.
We’ll tell you honestly what makes sense. If repairs will get you another five years and you’re planning to sell, that might be the right call. If your roof is failing in multiple spots and you’re staying in the house, replacement saves you from ongoing leak anxiety and gives you warranty protection.
Ice dams form when heat escapes through your roof, melts snow, and that water refreezes at the colder eaves. The ice builds up, blocks drainage, and forces water under shingles where it leaks into your home. It’s a common problem in Sandown because of heavy snow and temperature swings.
Prevention starts with proper attic insulation and ventilation so your roof stays cold and snow doesn’t melt unevenly. During installation, we add ice and water shield membrane along eaves and valleys—this creates a waterproof barrier even if ice dams do form. Most building codes require at least three feet of coverage, but we often go further on low-slope sections or north-facing roofs that get less sun.
You also need to keep your roof clear during heavy snow. Raking after six inches of accumulation reduces load and eliminates the snow that would melt and refreeze. If you’re already dealing with ice dams, don’t chip at the ice—you’ll damage shingles. Call someone who can remove it safely and check for underlying ventilation or insulation issues that caused it in the first place.
Asphalt shingles are the most common choice in Sandown because they’re affordable, reliable, and handle freeze-thaw cycles well when installed correctly. Architectural shingles offer better wind resistance and longer warranties than basic three-tab shingles—worth the upgrade if you’re planning to stay in your home.
Metal roofing is gaining ground here because it sheds snow instead of holding it, lasts 40-50 years, and resists ice dam formation better than asphalt. The upfront cost is higher, but you’re looking at half the lifetime cost per year compared to shingles you’ll replace twice in the same period. It’s especially smart for steeper roofs or homes in heavily wooded areas where branches are a concern.
Both materials work in New Hampshire if they’re installed with proper underlayment and ice protection. The bigger issue is installation quality—cheap shingles installed right outlast premium shingles installed poorly. We use materials rated for this climate and back them with labor warranties that matter, so you’re not dealing with premature failure because someone rushed the job.
Most residential roof replacements take two to four days from tear-off to final cleanup, depending on size, complexity, and weather. A simple ranch might be done in two days. A larger colonial with multiple roof planes, chimneys, and skylights takes closer to four.
Weather delays are real in New Hampshire. We don’t install in rain or when temperatures drop too low for shingle adhesive to seal properly. If a storm rolls in mid-project, we tarp everything securely and resume when conditions allow. Rushing a roof installation to meet a deadline is how you end up with problems later.
We give you a realistic timeline upfront and keep you updated if anything changes. You’ll know when the crew arrives each day, when the loudest work happens, and when your property will be clear of equipment and debris. The goal is a roof that lasts 20+ years, not a roof that’s done fast and fails early.
Yes. Storm damage, fallen trees, and sudden leaks don’t wait for business hours. We respond to emergency calls and prioritize getting your roof tarped and secured to prevent further water damage while we schedule permanent repairs.
Emergency tarping isn’t a long-term fix, but it stops active leaks and protects your home until we can do the actual repair work. Depending on damage severity and weather, permanent repairs might happen within days or require waiting for a safe work window. We’re honest about timing—you won’t get vague promises about “soon” when you need real answers.
For storm damage, we also work with insurance companies and provide documentation you’ll need for claims. We know what adjusters look for and how to show that damage is storm-related versus normal wear. You’re not navigating that process alone or hoping your claim gets approved without proper support.
