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.
Pressure-treated lumber is the most common choice for structural framing and decking due to its affordability and rot resistance. Cedar and mahogany offer natural beauty and weather resistance for a premium look. For North Shore homes exposed to salt air and moisture, the wood species and grade you select directly affect how the deck ages. All wood decks in the Lynn area benefit from regular sealing or staining to maintain their appearance and structural integrity.
A properly built and maintained wood deck lasts 15 to 25 years in a coastal environment like Lynn. Pressure-treated decking on the lower end and premium hardwoods on the higher end of that range. Annual cleaning, sealing every two to three years, and promptly replacing any boards showing signs of rot or structural weakness keep the deck safe and attractive. Coastal humidity and salt exposure make regular maintenance more important than in inland locations.
Yes. The City of Lynn requires a building permit for deck construction. Your contractor must submit plans showing the deck's dimensions, attachment method to the house, footing design, railing height, and structural load calculations. Inspections are required at the footing stage and upon completion. Massachusetts building code specifies railing heights, spindle spacing, and structural requirements that must be followed for the deck to pass inspection.
Wood deck costs vary based on size, wood species, height off the ground, and features like stairs, multi-level layouts, or built-in seating. Pressure-treated lumber is the most budget-friendly, while cedar and exotic hardwoods carry a higher material cost. The overall price also depends on site conditions, footing requirements, and permitting. An on-site consultation lets us measure your space and provide an accurate written estimate for your specific project.

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.
