Massachusetts experiences a four-season climate with cold, snowy winters and warm, humid summers. These significant temperature swings, combined with heavy precipitation and coastal storms, place considerable stress on roofing systems. For clay tile roofs, common in many Boston-area neighborhoods, this means potential for cracking from freeze-thaw cycles and damage from hail or high winds. We focus on the practical steps of assessing these specific vulnerabilities and performing necessary repairs to ensure your roof's integrity and longevity. Our process involves detailed inspection and repair planning.
Common questions
What is the 25% rule for roofing?
The 25% rule for roofing generally pertains to the condition of the roof deck. If 25% or more of the underlying wood is found to be rotten or damaged, it typically requires replacement. This ensures the structural support for your roof is sound. We inspect this critical layer.
What is the average cost to have a new roof?
The cost of a new roof is influenced by the home's size, roof pitch, material choice, and any structural repairs needed.
