A call-out to Beacon Hill often starts with a homeowner noticing a small leak after a nor'easter, a common occurrence in Boston's historically dense districts. The licensed, insured pros we work with understand the unique challenges of older structures, from steep pitches on Victorian homes to the specific requirements of historic preservation districts. They’re equipped to handle a range of issues, whether it's replacing deteriorated asphalt shingles on a multi-family dwelling in Roxbury or addressing wind damage to the metal roofing on a building in the Seaport.

This meticulous approach means they’ll inspect not just the visible surfaces but also the underlying decking and ventilation systems, which are critical for the longevity of your roof in this humid continental climate.

What affects the price

Several things change the final bill when you replace a roof. The total area of your home is the biggest factor, followed by the specific materials you choose, like asphalt shingles versus metal or tile. We also look at the pitch or slope of your roof and how many layers of old material need to be pulled off before we start. If there is hidden wood rot or damaged decking underneath, that adds to the labor and supplies required.
