Roofing services in Lynnfield
Roof Repair
Most leaks start at a detail rather than in the middle of the roof: flashing around a chimney, a vent boot, a valley, or the eaves where ice dams form.
Roof Replacement
A roof replacement is one of the largest repairs a homeowner makes, and quotes can differ a lot in what they include.
Storm Damage Roof Repair
Nor'easters, summer thunderstorms, and heavy snow can tear off shingles, bend flashing, or drop limbs onto a roof.
Flat Roof Repair & Replacement
Flat and low-slope roofs are common on triple-deckers, porches, additions, and dormers.
Slate Roof Repair
Natural slate can last far longer than asphalt, and a slate roof with failing flashing or a few broken slates is often worth repairing rather than replacing.

Why roof leaks and ice dams matter
Ice dams and roof leaks can push water into ceilings, insulation, and wall cavities, and wet attics are a common place for mold. Roofing experts recommend inspecting your roof in spring, fall, and after big storms.
