Roof replacement

In the local main ZIP code, 75.1 percent of homes were built before 1980, and the median home dates to 1939 or earlier, so many roofs here have been redone more than once. Roof replacement here starts with an inspection of the decking and flashing, then a written estimate that lists the materials and the scope. Because the area is in the High ice-dam tier, the estimate can cover ice-barrier underlayment. Call to book the inspection and get the written estimate.

Questions

Roofing questions in Salem

Are Salem's roofs older than those in the rest of the Boston area?

Slightly, by the numbers. By Census estimates for 2019 to 2023, 75 percent of local homes were built before 1980, compared with 74 percent in Boston and 69 percent across Essex County. Older houses often have older decking and flashing that need checking. Call to book an inspection and a written estimate that covers what is under the shingles.

When is hail most likely to hit local roofs?

Summer, mostly. In NOAA's storm records, 91 percent of hail reports within 25 kilometers of the area fall between May and August, and July has the most. The area sits in the Moderate hail band among the towns Roofers Hotline serves. Book an inspection after any July storm, and ask for a written estimate if shingles or flashing look damaged.

Why do roofs here leak?

Flashing and pipe boots fail first. About 48 inches of rain fall here in a normal year. A leak repair starts by finding where that water gets in.
