- Half my Derry neighborhood is re-roofing — how do I pick a contractor?
- Replacement waves attract every roofer in three states, so filter hard: current insurance certificate (general liability and workers’ comp), references from jobs at least a few years old — anyone can look good the week they finish — and a written, itemized estimate that names the shingle line, the underlayment, and the ice-and-water shield coverage. If a bid is dramatically cheaper, the difference is usually hiding in what’s not written down. We’re happy to walk you through ours line by line.
- Is my 1990s Derry roof actually due, or can it wait?
- If it’s the original roof, it’s at or past the realistic lifespan — 15–20 NH years for 3-tab, 25–30 for dimensional shingles. The signs to check: granules collecting in gutters, curling or cupping shingle edges, and staining on the attic sheathing. But signs or not, a free inspection settles it — and if the honest answer is that you have a few years left, that’s exactly what we’ll tell you. A roof replaced two years early is money spent early; one replaced two years late is a ceiling repair too.
