FREE ESTIMATE

Roof Replacement

Replacing your roof isn't just about shingles. We install ice and water shield in the valleys and along eaves, synthetic underlayment across the whole deck, new drip edge on rake and eave, starter strip, and ridge vent. That's how a roof lasts 30 years in Maine.

roof repair
SAME-DAY

Roof Repair

After we fix your roof, we send you before-and-after photos and a written warranty. If it leaks again from the same spot within 5 years, we come back free. That's the deal.

storm damage repair
LICENSED

Storm Damage Repair

Wind speeds over 60 mph cause shingle tab lift and seal failure. Hail over 1" diameter causes fractures through the shingle mat to the fiberglass reinforcement. Our HAAG-trained inspectors know the difference between cosmetic damage and functional damage. That distinction determines your insurance payout.

new roof installation
TOP RATED

New Roof Installation

New construction roof installation following IRC Section R905 and local Fort Kent building code amendments. We calculate ventilation per IRC R806 (1:150 ratio reduced to 1:300 when 50% is within 3ft of ridge. Synthetic underlayment per ASTM D226, ice barrier per ASTM D1970 at eaves in freeze-thaw climate zones. Manufacturer-certified installation locks in the full system warranty.

metal roofing
GUARANTEED

Metal Roofing

Thinking about metal roofing for your Fort Kent home? Good choice. We'll walk you through standing seam vs exposed fastener, steel vs aluminum, and color options. Free estimate, no hard sell.

shingle roofing
INSURED

Shingle Roofing

Three-tab shingles are cheaper upfront but they don't hold up like architectural. We recommend them for sheds, detached garages, and rental properties where budget matters more than aesthetics. For your Fort Kent home? Go architectural.

flat roofing
FREE ESTIMATE

Flat Roofing

Flat roof leaks usually happen at penetrations, seams, or flashing details. We locate the source, repair it properly, and coat the surrounding area. If the membrane is shot, we'll recommend replacement. Not a band-aid.

commercial roofing
SAME-DAY

Commercial Roofing

TPO is our most-requested commercial membrane in Maine. Reflective, energy-efficient, and it welds together at the seams for a watertight bond. We install 60-mil and 80-mil systems with 15-20 year manufacturer warranties.

gutter installation
LICENSED

Gutter Installation

We offer aluminum, copper, and steel gutters for Fort Kent homes. Most folks go with .027 gauge seamless aluminum. It's durable, affordable, and comes in 25+ colors. Copper looks amazing but costs 3-4x more.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Common signs: curling or cracking shingles, missing shingles after wind events, granule loss (look in your gutters), daylight visible through the attic, sagging roof deck, and age. Most asphalt roofs last 20-30 years in Maine. If you see any of these, call (877) 586-1316 for a free inspection. We'll be honest about whether you need a replacement or just a repair.

Yes. We offer 12-month same-as-cash, low-interest plans up to 144 months, and no-money-down options through GreenSky and Hearth. Credit approval takes about 5 minutes. A new roof is a major expense. Financing lets you get it done now without draining your savings.

First: put a bucket or container under the drip. If there's a visible bulge in the ceiling, carefully poke a small hole to let water drain into a bucket. This prevents the ceiling from collapsing. Then call (877) 586-1316. We do emergency tarping and temporary leak stops within 24 hours. The permanent repair follows once conditions allow.

We recommend GAF, Owens Corning, or CertainTeed. And we're certified by all three, so the choice is yours. In Fort Kent, the most popular pick is GAF Timberline HDZ in Weathered Wood or Charcoal. For hail-prone areas, look at the impact-resistant versions rated UL 2218 Class 4. We walk you through the options during the estimate.

Absolutely. Our team includes HAAG Certified Inspectors who document storm damage the way insurance adjusters expect. We file the claim, meet the adjuster, handle supplements if the initial estimate is low, and complete the repairs. We work with every major carrier in Maine.
