About roof replacement
A roof replacement strips the old roofing down to the deck, repairs what is underneath, and rebuilds the whole system: underlayment, ice and water protection at the eaves and valleys, flashing at chimneys and walls, ventilation, and the new roofing itself. Maine roofs carry snow for months and see ice dams at the eaves, so the parts you never see do most of the work. The site covers architectural asphalt shingles, metal, cedar shake and flat or low-slope roofing.

What the job involves
- Old roofing is torn off to the deck and hauled away, with the yard and plantings protected.
- Soft or delaminated sheathing is replaced before anything new goes down.
- Ice and water shield goes at the eaves, valleys and penetrations; synthetic underlayment covers the rest.
- Drip edge, step and counter flashing, and pipe boots are installed new.
- Ridge and soffit venting are balanced, then the new roofing is installed and the site cleaned with magnets.
Signs it is time
- Curling, cracked, or missing shingles and granules in the gutters
- Ice dams along the eaves or water stains on ceilings after thaws
- Daylight or damp sheathing visible in the attic
- Sagging roof lines or spongy spots underfoot
- A roof at or past the age its material was made for
What affects the price
- Roof area, pitch and complexity: valleys, dormers, skylights, chimneys
- Number of existing layers to remove
- Sheathing repair found after tear-off
- Material: asphalt, metal, cedar or low-slope membrane
- Ventilation and flashing upgrades
Every job is priced from a free on-site estimate, with a fixed-price written proposal before work starts.
Roof Replacement: frequently asked questions
A tear-off is the better job in most cases: it lets the deck be inspected and repaired and ice and water protection be installed directly on it.
Many roofs are done in one to three days on site; larger or complex roofs take longer. Weather sets the calendar.
Heat escaping into the attic melts snow on the roof; the water refreezes at the cold eaves. Air sealing, insulation and ventilation reduce them, and ice and water shield protects the roof when they happen.
Flat and low-slope roofing is one of the roofing types listed on the site. The owner will look at the roof and recommend a system.
