MERRIMACK NH ROOFING COMPANY

Comes down to attic temperature and roof design. Houses with warm attics melt snow that refreezes at edges. Cape-style houses with knee walls are notorious for this. We can show you what’s causing yours and fix the ventilation problems.

Higher elevation areas near Route 3 and exposed developments catch more wind. Houses on Baboosic Lake get hit from multiple directions. We’ve replaced roofs in Thornton’s Ferry that get hammered every few years while houses a mile away never have problems.

Average house runs $12,000-18,000 for architectural shingles, depending on size and how much old stuff needs to come off. Steep roofs cost more. Multiple layers cost more. Houses with skylights or chimneys cost more. We’ll measure yours and give you exact numbers.

Aluminum gutters typically go 15-20 years before they start pulling away from the house. Houses with lots of trees need cleaning twice a year or they’ll fail sooner. We’ve seen 30-year-old copper gutters that still work fine and 5-year-old aluminum ones that are shot.

Yeah, we handle the flat roofs on strip malls, office buildings, and warehouses around here. Usually membrane problems or ponding water issues. Lot of the commercial buildings were built fast in the 90s and the roofs show it.

Sometimes adjusters miss damage or claim it’s wear and tear. We document everything with photos and can walk them through what storm damage looks like versus normal aging. Sometimes you need a second opinion from another adjuster.

Safety first – we won’t get on roofs during active storms. Once it’s safe, we prioritize calls based on how much damage is happening inside houses. Bucket-and-tarp situations get handled first, then permanent repairs when weather clears.
