Roof replacement built for Maine snow and ice
Cardinal Exteriors' roofing specialization includes partners Michael McCullum and Robert Milliken leading certified installers who provide meticulous attention: proper substrate preparation, precision installation, complete flashing systems, and ventilation engineered for Maine's climate extremes.
A roof is the first line of defence, but it is only as good as what it drains onto. Where the wall below has already taken damage we handle siding replacement at the same time, and replacement windows where ice dams have worked water into the framing. Completed roofing work across Greater Portland is in our exterior project gallery.
Architectural asphalt is the roof most Greater Portland houses get: it sheds snow, takes a beating from ice dams when the underlayment is right, and stays in a predictable range. Standing-seam metal lasts longer and sheds snow faster on steep pitches. Cedar shake is the historic look. We inspect, measure squares, and write a fixed price that includes tear-off, ice-and-water, ventilation and cleanup.

CARDINAL EXTERIORS re-shingled my roof. Bob Proved to be Knowledgeable and Trustworthy. He was responsive to my questions and took the time to explain the materials being used and the steps they were taking to weatherproof the roof of my home. The work crew was polite and they cleaned up the job site at the end of each work day.

We hired Cardinal Exteriors to reside our house and install all new windows, and it was a terrific experience from start to finish! Bob was one of the very best contractors we've ever worked with (and we've worked with many over the years). He was extremely responsive, helpful, respectful of wishes and concerns, and never pressured us in any way.

Frequently Asked Questions
A typical asphalt-shingle replacement in Greater Portland runs $12,000–$30,000. Architectural asphalt is usually $10,000–$25,000; standing-seam metal $18,000–$45,000; cedar shake $20,000–$40,000. Pitch, squares, tear-off layers, and ice-and-water coverage move the number. Every job is priced from a free roof inspection.
Most asphalt replacements on a typical Greater Portland house take two to five days of good weather. Metal and cedar take longer. We do not start a tear-off if a storm is coming. An owner will put a weather window on the written proposal.
We handle complete roof replacements and new construction roofing for residential and commercial properties. We do not take on patch or leak repairs. We install asphalt shingles, metal roofing, cedar shakes, and flat roofing systems using weather-tested materials engineered for Maine's climate.
Maine's freeze-thaw cycles, heavy snow loads, ice dams, and coastal salt exposure demand specialized roofing systems. We install materials and ventilation engineered to handle those conditions and to keep water from backing into the wall and windows below.
Financing is available. Ask about payment options when you request your estimate. There is no published coupon or rebate on this site; terms are confirmed with an owner before any work begins.
Use the form on this page or call for a free roof inspection. We assess the current roof, discuss goals and timing, explain asphalt, metal and cedar options, and write a proposal that covers removal, installation, ventilation and cleanup.
