Repairs First, When They Make Sense

A drip over the kitchen doesn't automatically mean a new roof. We track down leaks, swap out torn shingles and rebuild bad flashing, and when a repair is all your roof needs, that's what we'll quote.

Quick to Respond

Water coming in is not something you book for next month. After a nor'easter or a summer thunderstorm, call us and urgent leaks go to the front of the line.

We Work Where You Live

Our office is in Derry, and our jobs run from the Merrimack Valley out to the Monadnock Region. Heavy wet snow, ice at the eaves and a winter of freezing and thawing are what roofs here deal with, so that's what we repair for.

Pricing You Can Read

You get a written estimate that spells out the work before anything starts. Small jobs are welcome too. A single pipe boot or a handful of shingles is still worth doing properly.

Upkeep That Heads Off Trouble

Most big roof bills begin as something small that nobody looked at. A periodic check of the flashing, sealants and gutters catches it early. We do this for homes and for commercial buildings.

Straight Communication

You'll know what we found, what we plan to do about it and when we'll be there. Before we pack up, we go over the finished repair with you so nothing is left as a question mark.

What We Repair

Whether it's a triple-decker in Manchester or a cape out in the Monadnock towns, roofs around here tend to fail in the same few ways. These are the repairs we're called for most.

Leaks and ceiling stains

The brown ring on your ceiling is where the water ended up, not where it got in. It can run along a rafter or the roof deck (the plywood or boards under the shingles) for several feet first. We follow it back to the entry point and fix that.

Worn-out flashing

Flashing is the metal that seals the joints around chimneys, skylights, vent pipes and valleys. It tends to give out well before the shingles around it do, and it accounts for a large share of the leaks we see. Replacing it is a repair job, not a new roof.

Damage from ice dams

An ice dam is a ridge of ice at the eave that traps melting snow behind it. The water has nowhere to go but up under the shingles. We repair what it soaked and look at the attic insulation and ventilation that let the dam form.

Blown-off or lifted shingles

A nor'easter or a strong thunderstorm gust can break the seal strip on a shingle and peel it back or take it off entirely. The bare patch underneath starts taking on water right away, and the wet spot keeps growing until it's covered.

Soft decking and rotted fascia

Nails won't hold in spongy wood. If the deck or the fascia (the trim board behind your gutters) has rotted, we cut back to sound material and put in new wood before any roofing goes on top.

Storm and hail damage

Hail is occasional here, but when it hits it can bruise shingles in ways you can't spot from the lawn. We photograph what we find on the roof, which gives you a record to hand your insurer if you decide to file a claim.

What a Roof Repair Costs in Southern New Hampshire

We don't post prices, because a number guessed from the ground is usually wrong. Here is what moves the price for the repairs we do most. Your actual figure comes in a written estimate after a free inspection.

Repair type	Scope	What drives the price
Emergency tarp or temporary dry-in	stops water until a permanent fix	Size of the opening, roof height
Small repair (a few shingles, one leak)	usually a single visit	Access, pitch, matching the shingle
Flashing repair or replacement	chimney, valley, vent, skylight	How much flashing, masonry condition
Ice dam damage repair	depends how far water travelled	Wet decking, insulation, interior damage
Section repair with new decking	larger, often more than a day	Square footage and how much wood is rotted

Repair or Replace?

You called about one leak and you're worried the answer will be a whole new roof. Sometimes it is. Often it isn't, and we won't sell you a replacement for a problem a repair would solve.

Repair usually makes sense when the roof still has years left in it and the trouble sits in one place. If the shingles elsewhere are still flexible and still carry their granules (the gritty coating that shields them from the sun), then rebuilding a valley or re-flashing a chimney is a sound use of money.

Replacement usually makes sense when an asphalt roof is around 20 years old or older, wears patches in several places already, is going bald across whole slopes, or has soft decking in more than one area. Each new repair then buys less time than the one before it.

Either way you get our opinion in writing, along with the photos it's based on. Want another roofer to look before you decide? Go ahead. There's no reason to rush into a roof replacement.

How a Repair Works

Four steps from your first call to a dry ceiling. Nobody lifts a shingle until you've seen the estimate.

Free roof inspection

Someone goes up and looks. We find where the problem really starts and take photos so you can see it too. It costs nothing, and you're free to stop there.

A straight answer

Will a repair last, or are you patching a roof that's near the end? We tell you which, and why. If a modest fix buys the roof more good years, you'll hear that from us.

Estimate in writing

The scope goes on paper: materials, labor, and what happens if we uncover rotted wood once the shingles are off. You approve it before work begins.

Repair and cleanup

We do the repair, run a magnet over the yard for stray nails, take the debris with us, and show you the finished work before we go.

Commercial Roofing & Maintenance

A leak over a tenant, a guest room or a sanctuary is a bigger problem than a leak over a garage. We repair and maintain roofs on apartment buildings, condos, hotels and churches, with planned inspections and small repairs meant to catch trouble before it interrupts the people inside.

Roof Repair FAQ

How much does a roof repair cost in New Hampshire?

It depends on what's wrong, how much of the roof is involved, how steep and high it is, and whether the wood underneath has rotted. We don't quote repairs sight unseen, because what you can see from the ground is often smaller than what's actually damaged. The inspection is free and the estimate is written, so finding out your real number costs you nothing.

Should I repair or replace my roof?

Look at two things: how old the roof is and how far the problem has spread. A younger asphalt shingle roof with one trouble spot, such as a single valley or the flashing at one chimney, is almost always worth repairing. A roof that's around 20 years old or more, has been patched several times, or is losing its granules everywhere is one you'd likely be replacing soon regardless, so repair money goes less far.

Do you handle emergency roof repairs?

Yes. For an active leak or storm damage we respond fast and can tarp or temporarily seal the roof to stop the water, then come back for the permanent repair. If water is coming in right now, call (603) 552-5072 instead of booking online.

Will my homeowners insurance cover the repair?

Policies generally cover sudden damage, like wind tearing shingles off or a limb coming down on the roof. They generally don't cover a roof that has simply worn out or gone without maintenance. We photograph and write up what we find so you have something solid to give the adjuster. The coverage decision itself belongs to your insurance company, not to us.

Can you repair a roof in the winter?

Yes. A lot of New Hampshire roof trouble shows up in winter, since ice dams and mid-January leaks don't hold off until April. Asphalt shingles are stiffer and slower to seal in the cold, so if a repair isn't urgent we may suggest doing it in milder weather. If the roof is leaking, we come out.
