Roofing for Somerville Homes
With minimal setbacks, shared access, and street conditions that make staging and dust control part of the plan rather than an afterthought, Somerville roofs stay shaded and damp long after a storm passes. Moss, granule loss, and rotted decking follow from that, so we check the sheathing on every tear-off rather than shingling over whatever is underneath.
Roofs here work harder than roofs almost anywhere. Wet snow, ice damming, freeze-thaw, and summer heat all attack the same assembly. We build for that, and we don't leave the ventilation as somebody else's problem.
What Somerville Properties Actually Need
- The housing stock here
- Two and three-family houses sit within a few feet of each other, so a wall that needs work is often unreachable without the abutter s cooperation.
- Working on the site
- One of the densest street grids in New England means deliveries are timed and staged rather than dropped.
- Permits and inspections
- The city enforces street occupancy rules strictly, and staging or containers need a permit with dates.
What Goes Wrong in Greater Boston
Leaks at chimneys and valleys
Flashing fails long before the field of the roof does, and it is where most persistent leaks actually originate.
Ice dams every winter
Ice ridges build at the eaves, back water up under the shingles, and stain interior ceilings - a ventilation and insulation problem as much as a roofing one.
Rotted decking hidden under shingles
Roofing over soft sheathing produces a roof that looks new and has nothing solid to fasten to.
