When Boston's freeze-thaw cycles have compromised your roof beyond repair, our full replacements protect your home for decades. We specialize in handling historic materials—like matching the slate on Back Bay townhouses or recreating the cedar shake profiles seen in Cambridge's Victorian districts.
Every project begins with a structural assessment to identify underlying issues common in older Boston-area homes, such as deteriorated sheathing or inadequate ventilation. We then recommend materials suited to your neighborhood's aesthetic and your budget, whether that's premium architectural shingles for Newton Colonials or standing-seam metal for coastal Quincy properties.
Our tear-off process includes full debris containment to protect your landscaping, followed by ice-and-water shield installation along eaves—a critical defense against the ice dams that plague Greater Boston homes each winter.
