Thursday Tip: Build a basic home emergency kit before winter.

You don’t need to go full doomsday prepper. Just cover the basics:
• Flashlights and extra batteries
• A battery-powered radio
• Tarps (in case of roof damage)
• A bucket and old towels
• Your insurance company’s contact info
• Photos of your home and roof (for claims)
• A list of emergency contacts (including your roofer—hi, that’s us)

When the power goes out or a storm rolls through, you’ll be glad you spent 20 minutes putting this together.

Stay safe out there, neighbors.

Ever wonder what we actually do during a roof inspection? Here’s a peek behind the curtain.

When Larkin comes out, he’s looking at:
• Shingle condition (cracking, curling, missing)
• Flashing around chimneys, vents, and skylights
• Gutter condition and drainage
• Attic ventilation and insulation
• Signs of moisture or previous repairs
• Overall structural integrity

The whole process takes about 30–45 minutes. Afterward, we walk you through everything we found—the good and the not-so-good.

No surprises. No pressure. Just a clear picture.

One of the most common questions we get: “Do I need a whole new roof, or can you just fix it?”

Honest answer? It depends.

Repair might be the right call if:
• Damage is limited to one area
• Your roof is under 15 years old
• No signs of water damage inside

Replacement might make more sense if:
• Damage is widespread
• Your roof is 20+ years old
• You’re seeing recurring issues
• Multiple layers of shingles already exist

The truth is, we’d rather tell you a repair will do the job than sell you a roof you don’t need. That’s not how we operate.

Winter prep for your roof is easier than you think, and most of it you can do from the ground.

Our new blog has a simple checklist for Maine homeowners: gutters, shingles, flashing, branches and your attic. It also covers the signs that mean it's time to call a pro before the snow flies.

Late October is the perfect window, while the weather still makes repairs easy.

If shingles are the face of your roof, flashing is the bodyguard.

Flashing is the thin metal installed around chimneys, vents, skylights, and roof valleys. Its job is to redirect water away from the most vulnerable areas.

When flashing fails, from age, poor installation, or storm damage, water finds its way in. And it is usually not obvious until the damage is done.

This is one of the first things we check during an inspection. Small detail, huge difference.

Thursday tip: your pre-storm checklist.

Before the next big storm rolls through:
• Clear debris from your roof and gutters
• Trim back any branches hanging over your roof
• Check that your attic has no existing leaks
• Make sure your sump pump is working (if you have one)
• Know your insurance info and have photos of your home on file

A little prep goes a long way when Mother Nature has other plans.

Save this one. You will want it later.

Not all roofs are the same, and neither are the materials that go on them.

Here is what we install and when each one makes sense:

Asphalt shingles (Owens Corning and CertainTeed): affordable, durable, strong warranty options.

Standing seam metal: built for 50+ years, heavy snow loads, and energy efficiency.

Cedar shake: classic New England look when real wood is the right call.

Brava (synthetic shake): the cedar look without the upkeep, fire-resistant composite.

EPDM for flat or low-slope sections: durable rubber membrane where a pitched roof does not fit.

Five systems. The right one depends on your home.

Not sure which fits? That is what we are here for.

Everyone wants a straight answer on roof cost, and almost nobody gets one until quote night. Elizabeth wrote down what actually drives the price of a house roof in 2026, and we are almost through roofing season. No numbers here on purpose. The breakdown is worth the two-minute read.

Ice dams: they look cool (literally), but they can cause serious damage.

Here’s how they form:
1. Heat from your home warms the roof
2. Snow melts and runs down to the eaves
3. It refreezes at the cold edge
4. Water backs up behind the ice and gets under your shingles

The result? Leaks, water damage, and headaches.

The fix starts with proper ventilation and insulation, keeping your roof cold and even. That’s something we look at on every inspection.

Save this post for when the snow starts flying.
