The short answer

Roofing in Woburn, MA

NC Construction is a roofing contractor in Woburn, MA that replaces and repairs asphalt shingle roofs across Massachusetts. Roof replacement includes tear-off, decking inspection and repair, ice and water barrier, underlayment, flashing, drip edge, ventilation and architectural shingles, with help on the building permit and full cleanup when the job is done.

Roofing

A roof does not fail all at once. It starts with curling shingles, granules in the gutters, a stain on a bedroom ceiling after a storm. By the time water shows up inside, it has usually been getting into the decking for a while. Catching it early is cheaper than chasing it through drywall and insulation.

NC Construction handles asphalt shingle roof replacement and roof repair with the same attention we put into our framing. On a replacement we strip to the deck, replace any soft or rotted boards, and rebuild the details that actually keep water out: flashing at chimneys and walls, drip edge, valleys and vents.

You talk directly with Nathan, the owner, from the first inspection to the final magnet sweep for nails. The estimate spells out what is included, and the yard is cleaned before we leave.

What is included

Roofing, start to finish

  • Full roof replacement

    Complete tear-off down to the deck and new architectural asphalt shingles, installed to the manufacturer's instructions.

  • Roof repair

    Replacing blown-off or damaged shingles, fixing leaks around chimneys, skylights and vents, and resealing failed flashing.

  • Decking repair

    Soft, delaminated or rotted roof sheathing replaced so the new shingles are fastened to a solid surface.

  • Ice and water barrier and underlayment

    Self-adhered ice barrier at the eaves and in valleys, with synthetic underlayment over the rest of the deck.

  • Flashing and ventilation

    New step and counter flashing, drip edge, and ridge and soffit ventilation to help the attic stay cold and dry.

Built for New England homes

Ice dams are the classic New England roof problem. Heat escaping into the attic melts snow on the upper roof, the water runs down and refreezes at the cold eaves, and it backs up under the shingles. Capes with finished half-story rooms and older colonials with little attic insulation are especially prone to it. A new roof with a proper ice barrier at the eaves and balanced ventilation helps, and we will point out attic issues that feed the problem.

Freeze-thaw cycles and heavy wet snow also work on flashing and old sheathing year after year. On many older Middlesex County homes we find multiple layers of shingles, plank decking with gaps, or chimneys flashed with tar instead of metal. We deal with those conditions during the tear-off instead of covering them up.

How it works

Our roofing process

01

Roof inspection

Nathan looks at the shingles, flashing, attic and any interior stains, then tells you honestly whether you need a repair or a replacement.

02

Written estimate and permit

You receive a clear written estimate with materials and scope. For a replacement we help handle the building permit with your town.

03

Tear-off and install

The old roof comes off, the deck is inspected and repaired, then ice barrier, underlayment, flashing and shingles go on. Landscaping is protected during the work.

04

Cleanup and final check

Debris is hauled away, the yard and driveway are swept for nails, and we walk the finished roof details with you.

Roofing: common questions

If the damage is limited to one area and the rest of the roof is in good shape, a repair often makes sense. If shingles are curling, losing granules or leaking in several places, replacement is usually the better investment. We give you a straight answer after the inspection.
In most Massachusetts cities and towns, yes, a roof replacement requires a building permit. We help handle the permit process for you.
It depends on roof size, pitch, number of layers to remove, decking repairs and the shingle line. Two houses of similar size can differ a lot. A free written estimate after we see the roof gives you the real figure.
We recommend a full tear-off. It is the only way to inspect and repair the decking and to install ice barrier and flashing properly.
Many single-family roofs take a day or a few days depending on size, complexity and weather. We watch the forecast and only open up as much roof as can be dried in the same day.
An ice barrier at the eaves protects the house when dams form, and better ventilation reduces them. The root cause is usually attic heat loss, so we will also flag insulation and air sealing issues we see.
