Roof replacement
A Complete Roof Replacement, From the Deck Up
A new roof is more than new shingles. When a Rhode Island roof starts to fail, the real trouble is often the part you can't see from the driveway: tired underlayment, worn flashing around the chimney, soft decking along the eaves, or an attic that can't breathe. A full replacement is the chance to fix all of that, not just the shingles.
Hidden problems like soft decking only show up once the old roof is off. If we find something that wasn't visible beforehand, we'll tell you what we found before anything changes on your bill.
Not sure whether you need a full replacement or just a repair? We'll tell you honestly. If your roof has years left and only needs a fix, we'll say so. See roof repair.
Signs it's time
6 Signs You May Need a New Roof
If two or more of these sound familiar, it's worth having a roofer take a look before the next big storm.
Granules in the gutters
Shingles shed their gritty coating as they age. Piles of it in your gutters or downspouts mean the shingles are wearing thin.
Stains on ceilings or in the attic
Brown rings, damp insulation or daylight through the roof boards all point to water getting in.
Sagging or soft spots
A roofline that dips or feels spongy underfoot can mean the decking underneath is rotting.
The same leak keeps coming back
If the chimney, vents or skylight have been patched more than once, it may be time to fix it right.
Your roof is around 20 years old
Many asphalt roofs in New England start showing their age around the 20-year mark, especially on the sunny side.

Rhode Island weather
Roofs Built for Rhode Island Weather
A Rhode Island roof has to handle salt air, coastal wind, nor'easters and freeze-thaw winters, sometimes all in the same year.
Coastal wind
Wind off Narragansett Bay and the South County shore can lift and peel shingles loose.
Nor'easters
Wind-driven rain looks for any gap, especially at flashing around chimneys, walls and vents.
Snow & ice dams
Snow that melts on a warm roof and refreezes at the cold eaves can back water up under the shingles.
Salt air
Near the coast, salt spray is hard on exposed metal like flashing and fasteners.

Request a free quoteHow much does a roof replacement cost in Rhode Island?
It depends mostly on the size of the roof, its pitch, the number of stories, how many old layers have to come off, any decking repairs and the material you choose. Request a free quote and we'll price your roof.
Can you put new shingles over my old roof?
A full replacement means the old roofing comes off first. That lets the deck be checked and fixed where needed, so the new roof isn't hiding old problems underneath.
Do I need a permit to replace my roof in Rhode Island?
Most Rhode Island towns require a building permit for a full roof replacement, and the rules vary from town to town. Ask us about your address when you request a quote.
Do I need to be home during the install?
Usually not. We'll go over the plan with you before work starts.
What's the best time of year to replace a roof in Rhode Island?
Spring through fall is ideal, because shingles seal best in warmer weather. A roof that can't wait can still be done on mild, dry days in winter. We'll tell you honestly if waiting a few weeks is the smarter move.
Will a new roof help with ice dams?
Often, yes. Ice and water protection at the eaves and a properly ventilated attic both help keep ice dams from causing leaks.
Who installs the roof?
Installation is done by experienced, vetted crews.
