Metal roofs, shingle roofs and honest repairs for Old Orchard Beach, ME homeowners. Family owned since 2002, and estimates are always free.
Metal roofing is our specialty, but shingles, gutters, soffit and leak work all get the same attention in Old Orchard Beach.
Missing shingles get matched as close as weathering allows. Loose metal gets new fasteners and washers, and the eaves, rakes and ridge get sealed back up tight.
Repair or replace, we handle both, and we work from what the roof actually needs rather than from what an adjuster might approve.
A replacement is a big spend and it should feel orderly. We schedule around dry weather, work in the right order, and never leave a house open overnight.
A coating buys real years on the right roof and wastes money on the wrong one. We will tell you honestly which kind you are looking at.
If two other people have caulked it and it still leaks, call us. Most stubborn leaks turn out to be flashing, a valley, or a fastener nobody thought to check.
Where it makes sense we set low slope metal over a problem section so it finally drains instead of ponding after every rain.
We match the guard to your trees and your gutter profile, and make sure water can still get in where it is supposed to.
Churches, shops, barns and small commercial buildings. We have roofed everything from a wood shed to a steeple.
New skylights set into metal or shingle roofs, with the flashing kit the roof actually calls for rather than a tube of sealant.
Removing the ice is the easy half. We also look at ventilation and insulation so it stops happening every January.
This is the work our name is attached to. Two decades of tin roofs on houses, churches, barns and additions, installed by crews who cut the trim on site instead of forcing something that almost fits.
Underlayment, ice and water shield in the valleys and along the eaves, sealed penetrations, and proper closures at the ridge.
A careful walk over the whole roof — panels, shingles, valleys, flashing, fasteners — plus the attic side when there is a way in. You get photos and a straight answer.
A shingle repair should not be visible from the street. We match as close as the weathering allows and blend the new work into the old.
Careful footwork, matched materials, and flashing done the way it was done when the roof went on.
Squirrels, wasps and water all treat a soft soffit as a front door. We close it up properly instead of patching over it.
We repair standing seam, exposed fastener panels and metal shingles, and we match the color as closely as the paint system will allow.
We repair what the storm actually broke. If that is one slope, we do one slope, and we will not pad an estimate to make a claim look bigger.
Lifted panels, missing shingles, flashing that has given up where the chimney comes through. We find what is actually wrong, fix that, and leave the rest of your roof alone.
A limb through the roof or panels peeled back overnight needs covering now, not next week. We get it dried in first so the inside of the house stops taking damage.
Here is what working with us looks like in Old Orchard Beach: you call, somebody comes out and measures, and you get a written estimate with the panel or the shingle spelled out on it. If you say go, we schedule you and we show up on that day.
The crew tarps the beds, keeps the yard picked up as they go, and runs a magnet over the drive before pulling out. Small things, but they are the ones Old Orchard Beach homeowners still mention a year later.
Here is what Old Orchard Beach homeowners tell us makes the difference.
The same family started this company putting metal roofs on neighbors houses in 2002. It has never been sold, franchised or handed off to a call center.
If your roof needs a repair and not a replacement, we say so. Plenty of our best customers are people we talked out of a job they did not need yet.
You get a start date and we hold to it. If weather moves your job we call you, rather than leaving you watching the driveway.
Beds get covered, tear off gets hauled as we go, and a magnet goes over the drive before we pull out. Your yard should look like we were never there.
Somebody comes out, measures, gets on the roof, and leaves you a written price. No charge, no obligation, and no number that expires if you do not sign today.
The questions that come up on just about every estimate we write.
Much less than people expect. Over solid decking with underlayment under it, a Old Orchard Beach metal roof sounds about like a shingle roof from inside the house. The loud tin roof people remember was screwed straight to open purlins over a barn with nothing underneath.
Any dry stretch works. We roof in Old Orchard Beach year round, though we schedule shingle work for when it is warm enough for the strips to seal properly, and we watch the forecast so your house is never left open overnight.
Sometimes. If the decking is sound and there is only one layer of shingles, a Old Orchard Beach metal roof can go over the top on purlins. If there is rot underneath or two layers already on, we tear off first — and we will tell you that before you sign, not halfway through.
For most Old Orchard Beach homes, yes. A metal roof costs more up front than shingles, but it usually outlives two or three shingle roofs, sheds rain and snow better, and does not peel off in a hard wind. We will price metal and shingle side by side so you can compare real numbers instead of guessing.
A metal roof installed properly on a Old Orchard Beach home should give you 40 to 60 years, and standing seam often goes longer because there are no exposed fasteners. Screws and sealants on a panel roof want attention around year 20, which is a small job next to a re-roof.
Most Old Orchard Beach houses are a two to four day job. A straightforward shingle roof can be done in a day or two. A cut up metal roof takes longer because every panel, valley and trim piece is measured and fit on site rather than pulled out of a box.
