Here, 61% of homes were built before 1980, and the Fitchburg municipal airport station records 137.1 freeze days a year, so ice dams are a high risk on aging roofs. Roof replacement starts with an inspection, then a written estimate that covers the full job, and then the work itself. Call Roofers Hotline to book the inspection before the next freeze.
From the same number, Roofers Hotline also books roof replacement here, photographed before the estimate is written.
