Roof repair

A few missing shingles or a stain near a chimney is often a repair, not a replacement. Middlesex County has had 31 federal disaster declarations from 1985 to date, most recently Hurricane Lee on September 15, 2023, so storm damage is a recurring risk. Roof repair means an inspection, a written estimate and the work. Call to have the damage looked at before the next storm.

Roof replacement

Shingles that lift at the edges, granules collecting in the gutters and stains on an upstairs ceiling usually mean the roof is near the end of its life. Winters here make it matter: the area sees 49.2 inches of snow and about 92 freezing days a year in the 1991 to 2020 climate normals, so ice-dam risk is High and ice-barrier underlayment applies under the building code. Roof replacement starts with an inspection, then a written estimate, then the work. Call to book the inspection.

From the same number, Roofers Hotline also books roof replacement in Boston, photographed before the estimate is written.

What shapes roof work here

Homes in Cambridge have a median build year of 1948, and 69% were built before 1980, by Census estimates for 2019 to 2023. The Boston hub sits at 74%, so older roofs are the norm across the area. Storm season adds to that wear: Middlesex County logged 31 hail events of one inch or larger since 2015, against 2 in the Boston hub county, and the largest stone measured 2 inches. Roofers Hotline books roof inspections and gives you a written estimate before any work starts, so you know what your roof needs. Call 24 hours a day to schedule yours ahead of July, the busiest hail month.

Questions

Roofing questions in Cambridge

Does my older house change what a roof inspection finds in Cambridge?

It can. In your ZIP code, 69.3% of homes were built before 1980 and the median year built is 1939 or earlier. Roofs on homes that old have had many winters of snow and freezing. An inspection checks the roof from top to bottom, and the written estimate lists what it found. Call to book it.

How much more hail does the area get than the Boston area?

Middlesex County logged 31 hail events of one inch or larger since 2015, while the Boston hub county logged 2. The largest hail in that record was 2 inches, and July is the busiest month. After any hail, a roof inspection is the first call to make. Call 24 hours a day to schedule one.

Why do roofs here leak?

Rain here averages 44 inches a year in NCEI normals. Most leaks start at flashing, pipe boots and valleys. The repair begins by tracing the entry point.
