As winter storms shift to spring showers, the season couldn’t be more perfect to take a look at your home’s roof. After a rough winter full of snow, freezing rain, and high winds, your roof could look a little worse for the wear.

As winter turns its coldest here in Massachusetts, we’re always here to ensure that your roof remains protective for your home — even in the face of heavy snows that can put pressure on your roof, and ice damming, which can damage your roof prematurely.

Whether you want to remove snow from your roof, you’d like to swap out a few damaged shingles, or you need to replace your whole roof, you really shouldn’t do it yourself.

If you have a shingle roof that’s more than a decade old, or a roof that has endured the brunt of a storm, then it may be time to replace your roof. But how can you be sure that your roof ought to be replaced?

Unlike previous warranties available for shingles (which lasted only a certain amount of years — e.g. a 30-year warranty), the GAF (the largest roofing manufacturer in North America) started issuing limited lifetime warranties for shingles that fail.

As Massachusetts' roofing experts, we know first hand how important it is to keep your gutters clear of debris. And, with fall in full swing, it’s likely that your gutters are clogged with leaves. That’s bad news for your roof, but it is an easy fix.

Your roof should be rugged. Preferably, it’d be impenetrable. Unfortunately, roofs aren’t perfectly impervious to damage. Even the most expensive roofing materials are prone to damage over time. So, what causes roof damage? And how can you avoid it? Well, today, we have the answers.

If you have a roof that’s a bit out of shape, you may be asking yourself, do I need to have it repaired? Or is it time to replace my roof? It’s an important question, since the monetary difference between a repair and a replacement can be in the thousands.

Homeowners want a home that can withstand the weather — after all, it provides peace of mind to have a strong roof over your head. It’s important to keep your roof tip-top.
