Our #1 Recommendation

Architectural Asphalt Shingles — The Best Balance of Performance, Looks, and Value

After installing every roofing material on the market, we recommend architectural asphalt shingles for the majority of North Shore homes with pitched roofs. Modern shingles deliver dimensional curb appeal, Class A fire ratings, 130 MPH wind warranties, and lifespans up to 50 years.

We work with all three major manufacturers — and we’re certified by two of them. Rather than pushing one brand, we help you choose the right shingle for your home.

Our Roofing Services

Complete Roofing Solutions — From Shingles to Custom Standing Seam

Whether you need a straightforward shingle replacement, a flat-roof rubber membrane, or a custom-fabricated metal roof, we bring certified craftsmanship to every project.

Asphalt Shingle Roofing

The most popular roofing choice in Massachusetts — and for good reason. Today’s architectural shingles from GAF, CertainTeed, and Owens Corning offer dramatically better performance than the flat three-tab shingles of the past. Dimensional profiles mimic the look of slate and cedar shake, Class A fire ratings come standard, and warranties run up to 50 years. As an experienced and skilled  CertainTeed and Owens Corning contractor, we install  to specifications protecting  the strongest warranty programs from each manufacturer.

Rubber Roofing (EPDM)

The go-to solution for flat and low-slope roofs — common on additions, garages, three-season porches, and multi-family properties across the North Shore. We install GenFlex EPDM rubber roofing systems that create a seamless, waterproof membrane built to handle ponding water, extreme temperature swings, and UV exposure without cracking or splitting. GenFlex systems deliver 25–30 years of reliable, low-maintenance performance.

Roof Replacement

When your roof is past the point of repair — widespread damage, aging materials, persistent leaks, or visible sagging — a full replacement is the smartest investment you can make. We handle every step: stripping the old roof down to the deck, inspecting and repairing the underlying sheathing, installing ice and water shield in critical areas, applying new underlayment, and installing your chosen roofing material with precision. Every replacement includes ventilation assessment, new flashing, drip edge, and a clean job site every day.

Roof Repair

Not every roof problem needs a full replacement. Missing or damaged shingles, small leaks, worn flashing around chimneys and vents, ice dam damage, or storm damage can often be repaired effectively — extending the life of your existing roof by years. We diagnose the issue accurately, explain your options honestly, and make repairs that last. If a repair isn’t the right call, we’ll tell you that too — we’d rather give you straight advice than patch a roof that needs replacing.

Custom Metal Roofing

This is where we do something most roofing contractors can’t. We don’t order pre-made metal panels from a distributor and cut them to fit. We buy raw metal stock and fabricate standing seam panels on-site using our own forming equipment — creating custom-length panels sized precisely for your roof. Every panel is installed using a mechanical lock standing seam application — the most secure and weathertight seam method available, far superior to the snap-lock systems most contractors use. We use only the highest-grade premium panels with the best UV-protective coatings on the market, and we adhere to strict technical and machine installation standards on every project. The result is fewer seams, a tighter fit, cleaner lines, and a roof engineered to last 50+ years with virtually no maintenance.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions About Roofing

What brands of shingles do you install?

We install asphalt shingles from all three major manufacturers: GAF, CertainTeed, and Owens Corning. As both a CertainTeed ShingleMaster and Owens Corning Preferred Contractor, we’re certified to offer the strongest warranty programs from each. Rather than pushing one brand, we help you choose the right product based on your home’s needs, your aesthetic preferences, and your budget.

Most residential roof replacements take 2–5 days depending on the size of your home, roof complexity, and weather. Larger homes or roofs with multiple valleys, dormers, or steep pitches may take longer. We’ll provide a detailed timeline during your estimate and keep you informed throughout the project.

Yes — we buy raw metal stock and fabricate standing seam panels on-site using our own forming equipment. Every panel is custom-length, sized precisely for your roof, and installed using a mechanical lock standing seam application — the most secure and weathertight method available. We use only the highest-grade premium panels with the best UV-protective coatings on the market, and we follow strict technical and machine installation standards on every project. Most contractors order pre-made snap-lock panels from a distributor and cut them to fit. We build them to fit from the start — and lock them down to last.

How much does a new roof cost in Danvers?

The cost of a new roof in North Reading depends on size, pitch, materials, and tear-off needs. Typical installed price ranges are:

  • Architectural asphalt shingles: $4.50–$8.50 per sq ft
  • EPDM rubber roofing: $5–$10 per sq ft
  • Standing seam metal roofing: $10–$18 per sq ft

Final pricing depends on ventilation, flashing, decking repairs, and roof complexity. We provide free estimates with exact pricing.

If your roof is under 15 years old with isolated damage — a few missing shingles, a small leak, or minor flashing issues — a repair is usually sufficient. If your roof is 20+ years old, has widespread granule loss, multiple leaks, sagging decking, or daylight visible through the attic, a full replacement is the better long-term investment. During your free inspection, we’ll assess the condition honestly and show you exactly what we find.

Yes. We install GenFlex EPDM rubber roofing for flat and low-slope roofs — common on additions, garages, porches, and commercial-style sections. Rubber roofing is specifically designed for low-slope applications where traditional shingles won’t perform properly.

Yes! We offer flexible financing options to help make your roofing project affordable. A new roof is one of the most important investments you can make in your home — it protects everything underneath it. Contact us for details on current financing programs and monthly payment options.
