Residential Roofing in Roxbury
Roxbury is almost entirely residential, and most of that housing is older. Colonials, capes, and farmhouses built between 1850 and 1990 dominate the town, with a smaller number of newer custom homes on the ridges. That means we spend most of our Roxbury time on steep-pitch tear-offs, flashing repairs, and ice dam prevention rather than simple new-build installs. Homeowners here care about three things: stopping leaks, keeping the historic look of the house, and getting a roof that will outlast the next 25 winters.
- Full roof replacement — Most Roxbury replacements are full tear-offs on asphalt roofs that have reached the end of their life. We strip to the deck, replace rotted sheathing, and rebuild the system with ice and water shield, synthetic underlayment, new flashing, and architectural shingles. Two to three days is typical.
- Leak diagnosis and repair — Roxbury leak calls usually trace to ice dams, chimney flashing, or dormer step flashing. We water-test to find the actual entry point, repair it properly, and check the attic for hidden rot. Same-day tarp available if water is actively coming in.
- Storm damage repair — After a nor'easter or wind event, we document the damage for your insurance claim and replace the shingles, ridge caps, and flashing that failed. We work directly with adjusters and can tarp the same day if the roof is open.
- Roof inspection and maintenance — Annual inspections catch small problems before they become leaks. We photograph every issue, give you a remaining-life estimate, and clear debris from valleys and behind chimneys. It is the cheapest roof work you will ever pay for.
