Roof repair

Only 34.4% of homes in ZIP code data are owner-occupied, so many roof problems get reported by tenants before an owner sees them. Roof repair begins with an inspection of the leak or damaged area, then a written estimate before any work starts, then the repair. Call Roofers Hotline when you spot a stain, a loose shingle or a drip, and ask for the written estimate.

For 278 ZIP codes and 73 towns, Boston roof repair is one call away, and the visit is explained step by step.

Roof replacement

In ZIP code data, 80.7% of homes were built before 1980 and the median home dates to 1939 or earlier, so many roofs here have been patched and layered for decades. Roof replacement starts with an inspection of the decking, flashing and attic, then a written estimate before any work starts, then the work itself. With 49.2 inches of snow a year, a roof that holds up through winter matters. Call Roofers Hotline to schedule the inspection and get your written estimate.

Homeowners here also book Boston roof replacement through the same number, with the inspection photographed first.

Emergency roof repair

Hail within an inch or larger hit Middlesex County 31 times since 2015, and NOAA's storm records show the largest stones reached 2 inches. When a storm opens a roof or a leak starts, emergency roof repair means tarping the damage and stopping water before it reaches the ceiling, followed by a written estimate for the permanent repair. Roofers Hotline answers calls 24 hours a day. If water is coming in now, call and describe what you see.

After the same storms, homeowners here also need how emergency roof repair works here, and each job starts with a written estimate.

What shapes roof work here

Somerville gets 49.2 inches of snow a year and 91.6 days with a low at or below 32 degrees in the 1991 to 2020 normals at the Boston Logan airport station, and Roofers Hotline rates its ice-dam risk High. Add a housing stock where 81% of homes were built before 1980 by Census estimates for 2019 to 2023, and winter finds weak spots in old roofs. Hail adds to it: reports here peak in July, and the county logged 31 hail events of one inch or larger since 2015, against 2 in Boston's county. Call Roofers Hotline to book an inspection and a written estimate before the next July storm.

Key takeaways

  • The nearest weather station records about 44 inches of rain a year, and most leaks start at flashing, pipe boots and valleys.
  • The nearest weather station averages 92 freezing days and 49 inches of snow a year, the recipe for ice dams.
  • Census figures put the median build year of homes within the town limits at 1939 or earlier, so most roofs are replacements already.

Licensing in Massachusetts

Massachusetts licensing: Massachusetts requires home improvement contractors, including roofers, to register with the Office of Consumer Affairs and Business Regulation. Look up any license at Massachusetts OCABR HIC registry.

Questions

Roofing questions in Somerville

When is hail most likely to hit Somerville roofs?

Hail reports here peak in July, and the Storm Prediction Center has logged 70 within 15 km since 2000, which puts the area in the High band. Most fall between May and August. Book a roof inspection after any summer storm with hail, and ask Roofers Hotline for a written estimate if it finds damage.

Are local roofs older than Boston's?

Yes, a little. By Census estimates for 2019 to 2023, 81% of local homes were built before 1980, compared with 74% in Boston, and the county-wide share is 69%. Older houses often have older roofs and flashing. Call Roofers Hotline for an inspection and a written estimate before winter.

Do ice dams form on roofs here?

Yes. Winters here bring 92 freezing days and about 49 inches of snow, by NCEI normals. That is ice dam weather for any roof with a warm attic under it.

Why do roofs here leak?

Flashing, pipe boots and valleys. About 44 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.
