ApprovedTrusted by Hundreds of Local Homeowners. 3,000+ Roofs Replaced.
Those reviews come from homeowners across Massachusetts and New England — people who'd been putting the replacement off for a season or two and finally had to deal with it. Read enough of them and the same things keep coming up: the crew arrived when we said they would, the people who quoted the job were the people who installed it, the yard was cleaner at the end of the day than it was at the start, and the warranty paperwork actually showed up afterward. After more than 3,000 roof replacements near homes like yours, that's the part we're proudest of — the average held.
And it holds across platforms, not just the one we'd pick: 5.0 across 143 reviews on Google, 4.9 across 79 reviews on Angi. Same in-house crew, two different audiences, the same answer. If you read only one part of this page before you call, read the reviews.
INSIDE A RECENT LOCAL ROOF REPLACEMENT
What a Local Roof Replacement Looks Like
Here's a recent local roof replacement, start to finish. From the ground the old roof looked fine. Up close, the inspection turned up four separate problems — chimney flashing that had pulled loose from the brick, a ridge cap nailed so tight it had choked off the attic vent, ice-dam damage along the eaves, and a skylight that had been quietly leaking onto the porch framing for years. None of it was obvious from the driveway. All of it was getting worse, and a reroof over the top would have buried every one of them.
That's the part of a local roof replacement most homeowners never see — the find, not just the install. A new roof is only as good as the assessment it's built on: get that wrong and you pay to cover up a leak instead of stopping it. We tore this roof off down to the deck and rebuilt it as a complete CertainTeed system in a single day. The photos below are straight from that replacement — what we found, and what we built.
What We Found
Annotated photos straight from the 360° Roof Report
None of those four problems is unusual around here. In New England a roof spends half the year under freeze-thaw stress: snow melts against a warm deck, runs down, and refreezes at the cold eave — backing water up under the shingles. That ridge of ice is an ice dam, and it's the single most common reason roofs in this climate need replacing before their time. Flashing failure runs a close second — most leaks start where the roof meets something else (a chimney, a skylight, a wall), not out in the open field of shingles. And poor attic ventilation quietly makes both of those worse. A real replacement assessment looks for all three. A clipboard estimate looks at the shingles and writes down a number.
What We Replaced It With
Old roof off, new system on — finished in a single day
Here's what actually got replaced. The chimney got new step flashing, woven into the brick this time, so it sheds water instead of funneling it behind the masonry. The crushed ridge cap was torn off and re-laid over a fresh ridge vent — the attic finally breathes, which is what stops the next round of ice dams at the source. The soft decking over the porch was cut out and replaced before anything went back down; you don't roof over rot. New WinterGuard® ice-and-water shield went on at every eave and valley, well past the interior wall line, so the next ice dam has nowhere to push water. And the roof was finished with CertainTeed Landmark architectural shingles over RoofRunner® synthetic underlayment, with new drip edge and hip-and-ridge caps sealing the edges and the peak.
Every problem on the “What We Found” list above has an answer on this one — and it was all done in a single day. That's the difference between a real roof replacement and just re-covering the same problems with new shingles.

LICENSED, INSURED, CERTIFIED
Real Local Credentials, Verifiable Today
We're a CertainTeed Premier ShingleMaster™ Credentialed contractor — the highest credential CertainTeed offers, held by a small fraction of roofers nationally. Google Guaranteed. BBB Accredited. And fully licensed and insured in Massachusetts (HIC #193875), Rhode Island (GC #42886), and Connecticut (HIC #0654925) — not “licensed somewhere,” licensed where your home is.
- HIC License #193875
- In-house local crew on every install
- CertainTeed Premier ShingleMaster™ Contractor
- Google Guaranteed — backed by Google
- BBB Accredited Business
- Fully insured — general liability & workers' compensation
Premier ShingleMaster isn't a sticker you buy. CertainTeed requires the crew to complete its installation training, keeps a cap on how many contractors in an area can hold the credential, audits completed projects, and makes you re-qualify to keep it. It's why we can offer CertainTeed's top warranties on every replacement we install — the manufacturer only extends those to contractors it has vetted. Most fly-by-night operations don't bother, because they can't pass.
Global Roofing runs in-house local crews on every roof replacement — the same team that quotes your roof shows up on install day. No subcontractors, no franchisees, no traveling sales reps. That's why we can stand behind a 30-year workmanship warranty: we install the roof, and we're around to honor it.
Your Warranty, Backed by CertainTeed
A workmanship warranty is only as good as the company behind it — and in roofing, plenty of outfits don't last long enough to honor a 30-year promise. Because we're Premier credentialed, both warranties — 50 years on the shingles, 30 years on the workmanship — are backed directly by CertainTeed. If something ever goes wrong with the materials or the install, the manufacturer stands behind it for the full term, not just us. And the shingle warranty transfers when you sell the home — worth real money at closing.

WHY YOUR NEIGHBORS HIRE US
Why Global Roofing — The Local Choice for Roof Replacement
Everything above this point is the evidence — the reviews, the credentials, a real local replacement from the find to the finished roof. Here's the short version: the six things that actually separate one local roof replacement from another, and where Global Roofing lands on each. Hold us to all of them.
We use our own crew — not subs
Every install is done by the in-house Global Roofing crew. The people who quote your roof are the people on it on install day — not a subcontractor hired for the week, not a franchise office a state away, not a traveling sales rep who's gone once you sign. It's also why we can put a 30-year workmanship warranty in writing: we did the work, and we're still here to stand behind it.
CertainTeed's top installer credential
We're a CertainTeed Premier ShingleMaster™ Credentialed contractor — the highest tier CertainTeed offers, held by a small fraction of roofers. It takes installation training, audited projects, and ongoing re-qualification to keep. It's also why CertainTeed will back your warranty directly: the manufacturer only extends that to installers it has vetted.
An inspection, not a sales pitch
Our 360° Roof Report documents every slope with photos and a written assessment of the shingles, flashing, ventilation, and gutters — and it's yours to keep whether you hire us or not. You see exactly what we see. Nobody runs a closing script at your kitchen table, and there's no pretend discount that expires tonight.
A track record you can check yourself
More than 3,000 roofs replaced. A 5.0 rating across 143 Google reviews and 4.9 across 79 on Angi. Google Guaranteed. BBB Accredited. Every one of those is searchable before you ever call — we'd rather you look us up than take our word for it.
Warranties backed by the manufacturer
Every roof we install carries a 50-year transferable shingle warranty and a 30-year workmanship warranty — and because we're Premier credentialed, both are backed directly by CertainTeed, not just by us. A warranty is only worth the company standing behind it. This one has a manufacturer standing behind it too.
Local, licensed, and insured — where you live
We're a Massachusetts-based contractor, fully licensed and insured in Massachusetts (HIC #193875), Rhode Island (GC #42886), and Connecticut (HIC.0654925). We'll email a Certificate of Insurance before any work starts. When we say near you, we mean a crew based an hour or so from your driveway — not a national franchise office and not a storm-chasing contractor that breaks camp after the season.
WHAT GOES ON YOUR NEW ROOF
Six Layers, Engineered for Your Local Weather
Most people picture a new roof as one thing — shingles. It's actually six layers, and the shingles are just the one you can see. Underneath there's an ice-and-water membrane sealing the spots most likely to leak, a second water barrier across the whole deck, a starter course that locks the first row of shingles down against wind, the shingles themselves, vents that move air through the attic, and caps that seal the peak. Each layer has a job. Skip one on a replacement, or cheap out on one, and the others can't cover for it.
We install all six as a matched CertainTeed system — same manufacturer, parts designed to work together — because that's the only way the warranty holds. Put a bargain underlayment under premium shingles and you've voided the system coverage and built the weak point in yourself. Here's what goes on your new roof, from the deck up, and why each layer earns its place in a New England winter.
Step 1
Ice & Water Shield
WinterGuard®
Local code requires ice and water shield 24 inches past the interior wall line — stricter than most states. We install self-adhering underlayment at every vulnerable point: eaves, valleys, penetrations, and anywhere ice dams form.
PICK WHAT GOES ON YOUR ROOF
Pick the Roof That Fits Your Home
Most homes around here get an architectural asphalt shingle replacement — it's the right answer in this climate for the price. But it isn't the only roof we install. Here are the three systems we replace into, and roughly who each one is for.
Asphalt Shingle Replacement
The right call for the large majority of replacements around here — and most of what we do. We install CertainTeed architectural shingles (Landmark, and the heavier Landmark Pro for larger or higher-end homes): a layered, dimensional shingle with a 130 mph wind rating, a Class A fire rating, a 50-year transferable warranty, and 20-plus colors. Not a budget compromise — the standard.
Metal Roof Replacement
Standing-seam metal for homeowners who want the longest service life on the market, a clean modern look, or a roof situation — low pitch, heavy snow load, hard exposure — where metal simply outlasts shingles. It reflects heat in summer, sheds snow and ice in winter, and is about as low-maintenance as a roof gets. A larger upfront number; a roof you may never have to replace again.
Flat & Low-Slope Replacement (EPDM / TPO)
A pitched shingle roof and a flat roof are different jobs with different materials. Porches, additions, dormers, and the flat sections tucked behind a New England gable need a single-ply membrane — EPDM rubber or TPO — seamed and sealed to handle standing water. We replace these as part of a full roof replacement or on their own, residential or commercial.
Whichever you pick, an asphalt replacement goes on over the same six-layer Integrity system you saw above — WinterGuard® ice-and-water membrane, RoofRunner® synthetic underlayment, SwiftStart® starter course, balanced ridge-and-soffit ventilation, and Shadow Ridge® hip-and-ridge caps. And on color: we bring samples to the house and hold them against your siding, your trim, and the light your roof actually gets — a shingle that looks great in a brochure can look wrong on a Colonial in the late afternoon, and you're going to be looking at this one for 30 years. Want a designer or luxury shingle, or not sure which replacement system fits your home? Ask — we'll tell you straight, not steer you toward the job we'd rather sell.
HOW IT WORKS
Three Steps. One-Day Install.
Replacing a roof shouldn't be a mystery. Here's the whole process, start to finish: you get a real assessment and a written number, the crew does the work in — usually — a single day, and your warranty gets registered so the coverage is actually on file. No high-pressure sales calls, no surprise charges, no chasing us for updates.
Three steps. Here's what each one looks like.
Free 360° Roof Estimate
- Drone-based — no kitchen-table sales pitch
- Annotated photos so you see exactly what we see
- Honest, no-pressure quote within 24 hours
We come out, get up on the roof — and into the attic when there's access — and document what's actually going on, slope by slope, with photos. You get a written estimate within 24 hours and the photos to keep, whether you hire us or not. It's an inspection, not a pitch.
1-Day Roof Replacement
- Complete tear-off and replacement
- Full property protection & cleanup
- Done before sundown on most homes
On install day the crew strips the old roof down to the deck, checks the wood, and builds the new six-layer system back up — usually finished before sundown on a typical home. We tarp the landscaping and siding before we start, run a magnetic roller over the lawn and driveway for stray nails before we leave, and haul the old roof away. A larger or more complicated roof can run into a second day — if yours is one of those, you'll hear it from us up front, not on install day.
Lifetime Warranty Protection
- 50-year transferable shingle warranty
- 30-year workmanship warranty
- Backed by GlobalCare™
When the job's done we register the warranty with CertainTeed so the coverage is on file in your name — 50 years on the shingles, 30 years on the workmanship, and our GlobalCare™ guarantee on top. Keep the paperwork with your house records. If you ever sell, the shingle coverage goes with the home.
Tear-off to finished roof, all in one day.
BEFORE YOU REPLACE
Repair, Replace, or Reroof? How to Decide
Not every roof on your block needs replacing. Some homes need a few courses of shingles, fresh flashing, and a ventilation tune-up. Others are past the point where a patch makes sense. Here's how to tell which one you're looking at — and the answer the 360° Roof Report gives you is in writing, with photos, not in a sales pitch.
Age — past 20 years, we don't recommend repair
The shingle line, the climate, and the ventilation all swing the number a little, but on any roof past 20 years old we default to replacement rather than repair. The materials around any patch are at the same age and likely to fail in the next storm anyway, so a repair that costs a few thousand dollars usually only buys you a year or two. Past 25, replacement is a question of when, not whether. We still do a free 360° Roof Report inspection before recommending anything — if a targeted repair really could work for your specific roof, we'll tell you straight.
Granule loss — check your gutters
Asphalt shingles shed granules as they age. A handful here and there is normal; a steady pile in the gutters means the shingles' UV protection is wearing through. Once the asphalt mat is exposed it dries out and cracks fast — and you're months, not years, from leaks.
Curling, cupping, or missing shingles
If shingles are visibly lifting at the edges, curling up at the corners, or missing in patches after a storm — that's not a repair anymore. A localized fix can extend the roof a season or two, but the same failure mode is happening across every slope at once. Reshingling the whole roof is usually cheaper than chasing it.
Daylight in the attic or active leaks
Daylight visible through the roof deck from inside the attic, water stains on the ceiling below, or active drips during rain — those mean water is already getting in. Repair makes sense for a single isolated entry point; widespread damp or multiple stains means a full replacement.
Sagging roofline or soft decking
If the ridge dips, a slope looks wavy, or the deck feels spongy underfoot, water has already gotten into the wood. We won't shingle over a bad deck — the rotted sections get cut out and replaced before the new roof goes down. The 360° Roof Report catches this before you sign anything.
Storm damage — wind, hail, ice dams, fallen trees
A bad storm can force a replacement before age would. Wind that lifted whole sections, hail that cracked the shingle mat, an ice dam that pried open the eave course, a tree limb that crushed a slope — any of those can take a roof from "a few more years" to "replace now." If your insurance is involved, we document everything an adjuster needs.
Multiple recent repairs adding up
Three patch jobs in five years usually means you're paying twice. At some point the math flips and a full replacement is cheaper than continuing to chase leaks. We'll tell you straight which side of that line you're on — sometimes the answer is still "keep repairing," and we'll say so.
That's the decision tree. If you run it on your roof and land on “replace,” the next step is the 360° Roof Report — drone inspection, annotated photos, and a written estimate within 24 hours, no obligation. We'll also tell you straight if repair is the right call instead.
FLEXIBLE FINANCING OPTIONS
Roof Now, Pay Later
A roof replacement is one of the bigger checks a homeowner writes, and most people don't have it sitting in savings the week a leak shows up. That's fine. We set up financing through GreenSky and GoodLeap — the application takes a few minutes and you hear back quickly. For a lot of homeowners that works out to no payments for the first 12 months, a low- or no-interest plan, or payments starting around $84 a month, depending on the amount and the term you choose.
If a storm caused the damage, that's a different track. We work with insurance carriers regularly, and the inspection report we hand you includes the photos and the written assessment an adjuster needs to process a claim. You don't have to know which path is yours before you call — we'll figure that out together.
- No payments for 12 months
- No/Low Interest Programs
- Instant Cash Rebate
- As low as $84/month
- We work with insurance companies
What Local Homeowners Ask About Replacement
Straight answers on cost, timing, what's included, warranty, financing, and service area.
How much does a roof replacement cost?
Replacement pricing depends on roof size, pitch, the number of layers being torn off, and decking condition underneath. Because those vary house to house, we don't quote sight-unseen — anyone who does is guessing. Our free 360° Roof Report inspects every slope with drone imagery and gives you a real, written quote within 24 hours. Most homeowners use financing to bring monthly payments to as low as $84/month.
What's involved in a new roof installation?
A new roof installation — whether you're looking to replace a roof that's past its prime or put a fresh one on an addition — involves a complete tear-off down to the deck, an inspection of the wood underneath, then a layer-by-layer roof installation of the 6-layer CertainTeed Integrity Roof System: ice & water shield at eaves and valleys, synthetic underlayment, starter course and drip edge, architectural shingles, balanced ridge and intake ventilation, and hip-and-ridge caps. Most homes are finished in a single day. We don't shingle over rotted decking, and we don't reroof on top of a failing system — the honest way to replace a roof is to take the old one off first.
How long does a roof replacement take?
Most roof replacements are completed in a single day. Our in-house crew strips the old roof, installs the complete 6-layer CertainTeed Integrity Roof System, and finishes cleanup before sundown. A larger or more complicated roof can run into a second day — if yours is one of those, we tell you up front, not on install day.
Do I need a full roof replacement, or can I just repair it?
Repair makes sense for isolated damage on a roof that still has years of life left. On any roof past 20 years old we default to replacement rather than repair — the materials around any patch are at the same age and likely to fail next, so a $2K–$8K repair would only buy you a year or two before the rest of the roof catches up. Replacement also makes sense when shingles are widely curled, cracked, or missing, when granules are filling the gutters, or when the deck is sagging. The free 360° Roof Report tells you which one you're looking at — repair, partial, or full replacement — with annotated photos of every issue. If a targeted repair really could work for your roof, we'll tell you straight, no obligation.
What are the signs I need a new roof?
The most common signs: shingles curling, cracking, or missing; granules collecting in gutters; daylight visible from the attic; sagging rooflines; repeated leaks; or a roof that's 20+ years old. Storm damage — wind, hail, ice dams — can also force a replacement before the roof's age would otherwise dictate. If you're seeing two or more of these, it's worth getting a free inspection.
What's included in a roof replacement?
A complete Global Roofing replacement includes full tear-off of the old roof, deck inspection, ice & water shield at eaves and valleys, synthetic underlayment across the entire deck, starter shingles, drip edge, CertainTeed Landmark architectural shingles, balanced ridge and intake ventilation, hip and ridge caps, new flashing at chimneys and penetrations, full property protection during install, and complete cleanup. The 6-layer Integrity Roof System — not just shingles.
Will I also need new decking, ventilation, or gutters?
Sometimes. Decking is replaced where it's rotted or soft — we won't shingle over a bad deck. Ventilation is rebalanced on every install because most older roofs don't have enough intake or exhaust. Gutters are a separate scope; if yours are in good shape, we work around them. The 360° Roof Report flags every line item before any work starts, so there are no surprise charges on install day.
Can I just reshingle over the old roof?
We don't. A second layer hides whatever was failing on the first one — bad flashing, soft decking, a ridge vent that was choking — and you build the same problems into the new roof. Tear-off costs a little more up front and gives you a complete, warrantied system instead of a patch on top of a problem. Most local building codes also limit how many layers can be on a roof anyway.
What warranty comes with a new roof?
Every Global Roofing replacement includes a transferable 50-year shingle warranty, a 30-year workmanship warranty, and our GlobalCare™ guarantee. Because we're CertainTeed Premier ShingleMaster credentialed, both warranties are backed directly by CertainTeed — not just by us. If we ever go away, your warranty doesn't.
Do you offer financing for a roof replacement?
Yes. Options include no payments for 12 months, low and no-interest programs, instant cash rebates, and payments as low as $84/month. We work with GreenSky and GoodLeap to find the best fit for your budget. Financing is approved before the project starts, so there are no surprises mid-install.
What's the best time of year for a roof replacement?
Most months work fine. Spring and fall are the busiest because of mild temperatures and dry conditions, but summer installs are common too. Winter installs are possible when the deck is dry and temperatures are above the shingle manufacturer's minimum — we just monitor conditions more carefully. The bigger driver of timing is contractor availability: booking 2–4 weeks out is typical in peak season.
Will you handle my insurance claim for storm damage?
Yes. The 360° Roof Report includes annotated photos and a written assessment that can be submitted directly to your insurance company. We work with homeowners on storm damage claims regularly — wind, hail, ice dams, fallen trees — and can document what an adjuster needs to see.
Do you do roof replacements near me?
Probably — we work across Massachusetts and into Rhode Island and Connecticut from our local crew base. If you're not sure whether your town is in range, call (508) 625-9732 and we'll tell you on the spot. We're not chasing storms two states over — this region is home.
How is a local roofing company better than a national one?
Two things mostly: the same in-house crew that quotes the job installs the job (no rotating subcontractors), and we're still here in the off-season when a warranty question comes up. National outfits often subcontract the install to whoever's available that week, and follow-up tends to route through a call center. Hold both kinds against the same checklist — license, insurance, manufacturer credential, named crew, in-area reviews — and the local-crew model usually comes out ahead.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. HIC license #193875, plus Rhode Island GC-42886 and Connecticut HIC.0654925. Fully insured with general liability and workers' compensation coverage. We provide a Certificate of Insurance on request before any work starts.
What areas do you serve?
We're a Massachusetts-based roofing contractor working across Massachusetts and into Rhode Island and Connecticut — licensed and insured in all three states (MA HIC #193875, RI GC #42886, CT HIC.0654925).
