What roofing materials work best in Fall River's climate?

Given Fall River's humid continental climate with cold, snowy winters and warm summers, we recommend:

• • Asphalt shingles: Most popular choice, handles freeze-thaw cycles well, cost-effective
• • Metal roofing: Excellent for snow shedding, energy-efficient, 50+ year lifespan
• • Architectural shingles: Superior wind and ice resistance for New England weather
• • Ice and water shield: Essential underlayment for preventing ice dam damage

Will my homeowner's insurance cover roof repairs in Fall River?

Many Fall River homeowners successfully claim roof repairs when damage results from covered perils like storms, fallen trees, or fire. Insurance typically won't cover damage from lack of maintenance or normal wear and tear. We assist with documentation, work directly with adjusters, and help you navigate the claims process to maximize your coverage.

How do I know if I need roof repairs or a full replacement?

Our certified inspectors assess several factors:

• • Age: Roofs over 20 years old often need replacement
• • Extent of damage: Multiple areas damaged may indicate replacement
• • Missing granules: Widespread granule loss means shingles are deteriorating
• • Curling/buckling: Advanced aging requiring replacement
• • Cost comparison: Sometimes replacement is more cost-effective than repeated repairs

We provide honest recommendations based on your roof's condition and your budget.
