When your roof has reached the end of its useful life, a full replacement protects your home and everything inside it. Lynn's North Shore location means your roof faces salt air, high winds, heavy snow loads, and intense freeze-thaw cycles that shorten the lifespan of aging materials. Our crew handles every phase of the replacement from permit acquisition through final cleanup, giving you a roof built to perform for decades.
We work with homeowners across Lynn, from the historic districts near Lynn Common to the waterfront neighborhoods along Nahant Bay. Every project includes a detailed inspection, transparent written estimate, and a clear timeline. Our roofers are experienced with the full range of residential roof styles found in this area, including steep-pitch colonials, multi-family triple-deckers, and low-slope additions.
Architectural and three-tab shingle systems from GAF, CertainTeed, and Owens Corning installed with proper ice and water shield protection for Lynn's coastal climate.
We strip existing roofing down to the sheathing, inspect for rot and water damage, and replace any compromised decking before installing your new roof system.
New step flashing, counter flashing around chimneys and walls, and ridge vent installation to ensure proper attic airflow and prevent ice dam formation in winter.

Frequently Asked Questions
Roofing Contractor can be complex, and we’re here to provide answers to common questions. Here are some frequently asked questions from our clients.
Most asphalt shingle roofs in the Lynn area last between 20 and 30 years depending on exposure to North Shore weather. Look for curling or missing shingles, granules collecting in your gutters, daylight visible through attic boards, or sagging along the roofline. If your roof has been through multiple nor'easters and is older than 20 years, a professional assessment will help determine whether a repair or full replacement makes the most sense for your home.
Homes along the North Shore deal with salt air, high winds, and intense moisture — so siding material selection matters. Vinyl siding offers excellent moisture resistance and affordability, while fiber cement holds up well against wind-driven rain and does not rot. Composite options provide a premium look with strong coastal durability. The right choice depends on your budget, aesthetic preference, and how much maintenance you want to handle over time.
Yes. The City of Lynn Building Department requires permits for roof replacements, siding installations, and most exterior structural modifications. Essex County contractors must hold a valid Massachusetts Construction Supervisor License and Home Improvement Contractor registration. A reputable contractor handles the permit application and scheduling of required inspections so the project stays code-compliant from start to finish.
Roof replacement costs vary based on the size of your home, roofing material selected, roof pitch, and whether the existing layers need a full tear-off. Most residential projects in the Lynn area involve asphalt architectural shingles, though metal and flat roofing systems carry different price points. The best way to get an accurate number is to schedule an on-site evaluation where a contractor can measure the actual scope and provide a detailed written estimate.
Start by documenting any visible damage from the ground with photos. Do not climb onto the roof yourself. Contact a licensed roofing contractor to perform a thorough inspection, including checking for hidden damage like water intrusion in the attic. If the damage is significant, file a claim with your homeowner's insurance and provide the inspection report. Acting quickly prevents small issues from turning into costly structural problems, especially during the wet North Shore seasons.
A standard residential roof replacement usually takes between two and five days depending on the size and complexity of the project. Siding installations typically run one to two weeks for a full home. Weather conditions along the North Shore can affect scheduling, particularly during winter months when nor'easters and freezing temperatures may cause short delays. Your contractor should provide a clear timeline during the estimate phase so you know what to expect.
A complete roof replacement includes stripping all existing shingles and underlayment down to the deck, inspecting the sheathing for rot or water damage, installing new ice and water shield along the eaves and valleys, laying fresh underlayment, and applying new shingles or your chosen roofing material. Flashing around chimneys, vents, and skylights is replaced, and a ridge vent system is installed for proper attic ventilation. All debris is removed and the property is cleaned upon completion.
Massachusetts building code allows up to two layers of asphalt shingles on a residential roof. However, overlaying adds weight to the structure and prevents inspection of the deck for hidden rot or damage underneath. In Lynn, where freeze-thaw cycles and coastal moisture are constant, a full tear-off gives a cleaner result and a longer-lasting installation. Most experienced contractors recommend starting fresh for that reason.
The best material depends on your budget, home style, and performance priorities. Architectural asphalt shingles are the most popular residential option and offer solid wind resistance for North Shore conditions. Metal roofing provides superior longevity and handles heavy snowfall well. For older or historic Lynn homes, certain materials may better match the original architectural character while still meeting current code requirements.
A new roof is consistently ranked among the top home improvement projects for return on investment. Buyers in the Lynn real estate market pay close attention to roof age and condition during inspections. A recently replaced roof removes a major negotiation point, improves curb appeal, and can lower insurance premiums. If you are planning to sell in the next several years, a roof replacement often pays for a significant portion of its cost at closing.

We needed new siding on our triple-decker and they walked us through every option. The installation was clean, the price was fair, and the difference in our heating bill this winter was noticeable right away. Great experience all around.

After the storm took shingles off our roof they were out within a day to tarp it and had the permanent repair done the same week. They handled the insurance paperwork too. Exactly the kind of contractor you want when things go wrong.
