You notice it first as curling shingles, granules in the gutters or a stain spreading across a ceiling. In ZIP 02492, 70.2% of homes were built before 1980 and the median home dates to 1961, so many roofs here are on their second or third layer.

Key takeaways

  • Census figures date the typical home within the town limits to 1964, and 65% were built before 1980.
  • The nearest weather station records about 47 inches of rain a year, and most leaks start at flashing, pipe boots and valleys.
  • The nearest weather station averages 143 freezing days and 46 inches of snow a year, the recipe for ice dams.

What shapes roof work here

Needham's houses are older than the roofs most people expect to be on them: the median home was built in 1964 by Census estimates for 2019 to 2023, and 65% went up before 1980. Boston's figure for homes that old is 74%, so the area is a little newer, but the roofs on many of these houses are still well past their first decades.

Hail adds to that. Norfolk County logged 10 hail events of one inch or larger since 2015, against 2 in Boston's county, and August is the peak month. Call Roofers Hotline for a roof inspection and a written estimate before any work starts.

Questions

Roofing questions in Needham

Are Needham homes old enough that roof age is a concern?

Yes. In ZIP 02492, 70.2% of homes were built before 1980, and the median year built is 1961. Boston's figure for pre-1980 housing is 74%, so the area is close to the metro. Roofs on houses this age have often been re-covered more than once. Call Roofers Hotline for an inspection and a written estimate that shows the roof's condition.

How often does hail hit the area compared with Boston?

Norfolk County, where the area sits, logged 10 hail events of one inch or larger since 2015, while Boston's county logged 2. August is the peak month, and the largest hail in that record was two inches. After a hailstorm, call Roofers Hotline to book an inspection and get a written estimate.

Do ice dams form on roofs here?

They do. NCEI normals show 143 freezing days and 46 inches of snow a year here. A roof over a warm, leaky attic will build an ice dam in that weather. Sealing the attic is the fix.

Why do roofs here leak?

Flashing, pipe boots and valleys. About 47 inches of rain fall here each year at the nearest station. Water finds every cracked boot and open seam, so the repair starts by tracing the entry point.
