How much does a new roof cost in Maine?
Asphalt replacements typically run $9,000–$18,000; metal roughly 2–2.5x that. Full ranges for every system are published above — and your inspection comes with exact line-item pricing in writing.
Do I actually need a new roof, or will a repair do?
Often a repair is the right call — if the rest of the roof has life left and the problem is localized, we'll tell you so, even though a replacement pays us more. What tips it toward replacement: widespread curling or granule loss, multiple leak points, or shingles past roughly 15–20 years. Your free inspection includes an honest answer either way, with photos.
How fast can my roof be done?
Free inspection within about 24 hours' notice, install typically scheduled within two weeks of signing, and most homes finished in 1–2 days on-site — full cleanup included.
What does your warranty actually cover?
Every roof we install comes with our written 10-Year Leak-Free Warranty covering the full system we install — shingles, underlayment, flashing, drip edge, and vents. If it leaks from our workmanship in the first ten years, we fix it at no cost. It's active the day your job is complete — nothing to register — and it's fully transferable if you sell your home. Manufacturer material warranties apply on top of it.
Other companies advertise "lifetime" warranties. Why don't you?
"Lifetime" almost always refers to the shingle manufacturer's material warranty — heavily pro-rated fine print that rarely reflects real-world life. We think that's a marketing gimmick, so we promote what we actually control: our own 10-year leak-free workmanship warranty, in writing, with minimal exclusions.
Do you offer financing?
Yes — monthly payment plans for qualifying homeowners, with a soft credit pull to see your options first (no score impact to check). Most approvals come back within minutes, so financing never delays your install date.
What if my fascia or roof deck is rotted?
Common in Maine — clogged gutters and ice dams rot fascia and eave decking from behind. We repair fascia, soffit, and trim as part of the roof job, and any decking replacement is shown to you in photos and approved before it goes in. No surprise line items after the fact.
Will insurance cover my ice dam or storm damage?
Often, yes — water intrusion from ice dams and wind damage are commonly covered under standard homeowner policies. We document everything with photos and meet your adjuster on-site so nothing gets missed.
Can you actually stop ice dams, or just repair the damage?
Both. Ice dams are a heat-loss problem, not a shingle problem — so we fix ventilation and insulation along with ice & water shield at the eaves. Replacing shingles without fixing airflow just schedules the next leak.
When's the best time to replace a roof in Maine?
May through October, when temperatures let shingles thermally seal. Late summer books out first — an inspection now locks a slot before the season closes. Winter work is limited to repairs and emergencies, usually at premium rates.
Do you handle commercial flat roofs?
Yes — EPDM, TPO, and PVC installation, repair, and maintenance programs, including snow-load assessments for Maine winters.
