What affects the price

Replacing your roof involves several variables that shift your final bill. The total square footage of your property is the biggest factor, followed closely by the pitch or steepness of your roof, which dictates how safely crews can work. You will also need to choose your materials—architectural shingles, metal, or tile each carry different price points. We also have to account for the removal and disposal of your current roof, plus the condition of the underlying wood decking that might need repairs once the old shingles are off. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.

About this service

Proper insulation sits beneath your roofing material to act as a thermal barrier. It keeps your conditioned air inside during the summer and prevents heat loss in the winter, which can help stabilize your energy bills. If your home feels drafty or your HVAC system is working overtime, your insulation might be insufficient or damaged. We assess your attic and roof deck to ensure the right amount of material is installed to keep your living space comfortable year-round.

Frequently asked in Boston

What are the most common roofing materials used in Boston, MA?

Can you explain what a standing seam roof is and its advantages in Boston?

A standing seam roof is a type of metal roofing characterized by raised vertical seams that interlock, creating a highly effective barrier against water and wind, which is particularly beneficial in Boston. This design eliminates exposed fasteners, preventing potential leak points and increasing the roof's overall lifespan. The pros often recommend standing seam systems because they can easily shed snow and ice, reducing the risk of ice dams that are common during our harsh winters. They also offer a clean, modern aesthetic that complements many architectural styles.

What is the difference between a tin roof and a modern steel roof in Boston?

In Boston, when people refer to a 'tin roof,' they often mean older, less durable galvanized steel roofs that were prone to rust. Modern steel roofs, typically made from galvanized steel, Galvalume-coated steel, or aluminum, are far superior in terms of corrosion resistance and longevity. The pros utilize advanced coatings and alloys that offer significantly better protection against our coastal air and freeze-thaw cycles. A modern steel roof is a robust, long-term investment designed to withstand New England's challenging weather conditions effectively.
