A new roof. Done once, done right.
Full tear-off to the deck — never an overlay — then a complete weather system built up layer by layer and finished in the material your home was designed to wear.
What’s included
Every layer, itemized.
A roof isn’t shingles — it’s a system. Our replacement quote lists every component below as its own line, so you can see exactly what you’re buying and compare any other bid apples-to-apples.
The system7 layers
- Complete tear-off & disposal. Down to bare deck, debris in our trailer — never thrown in your hedges.
- Deck inspection, plank by plank. First three replacement planks free; the rest quoted before we nail them, with photos.
- Ice & water barrier. Six feet at every eave plus all valleys and penetrations — beyond what code requires.
- Synthetic underlayment. The felt-paper era is over; this is the layer that buys you decades.
- All-new flashing. Chimneys, walls, and valleys — we never reuse old flashing, the #1 source of “new roof” leaks.
- Balanced ridge ventilation. Calculated intake-to-exhaust, the quiet fix for ice dams and a hot attic.
- Nightly magnet sweep. Lawn, drive, and beds — your tires will never find what we missed, because we don’t miss.
Three honest tiers

Better · from $9.75/sq ft
Designer Shingle
The look of slate or shake at a third of the weight and cost. Thicker mats, deeper shadows, and curb appeal you can see from the street corner.
Best · from $24/sq ft
Slate, Cedar & Metal
The forever materials. Quarried slate, hand-split cedar, or standing seam — roofs you install once per century, not once per owner.
The build, hour by hour
What replacement week actually looks like.
D-1
Staging day
Materials delivered, gardens tarped, plywood over the patio, dumpster placed on boards — not your asphalt.
D1
Tear-off & deck
Old roof off by noon, deck inspected and photographed, any soft planks replaced and shown to you before sundown.
D2
The system goes on
Barriers, underlayment, flashing, and field shingles. The house sleeps dry under a finished or fully papered roof — always.
D3
Details & sweep
Ridge vent, caps, final flashing dress-up, gutters cleared, triple magnet sweep, and a foreman walk-through with you.

Quick answers
Replacement questions.
We could — code allows one overlay — but we won’t, and we’ll tell you why: an overlay hides a rotting deck, voids most wind warranties, bakes the new shingles from below, and costs you double at the next replacement when both layers come off. Tear-off is the honest path, which is why it’s the only one we quote.
Yes — New England roofers who don’t work winters aren’t New England roofers. We install down to about 26°F using cold-weather adhesives and hand-sealing techniques, and we simply won’t open more roof than we can close that day. Some of our cleanest work happens in January.
Honestly: it’s loud from about 7:30am to 4pm — plan video calls elsewhere. But your driveway stays usable, pets stay safer inside, and the yard is swept nightly. Most clients tell us the anticipation was worse than the week.
