Hire a certified, insured, locally reviewed crew to handle a roof replacement project. Coastal Windows & Exteriors is a GAF Master Elite roofing contractor and woman-owned exterior remodeling company that has delivered 7,000+ installations since 2011 across 730+ towns in Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Maine, and every roof replacement we build comes with a written scope.

How to Vet a Replacement Crew

Confirm certification before pricing: Manufacturer credentials determine which warranties your home can receive. Pricing conversations mean little without that foundation.
Read the full scope of work: Tear-off, deck inspection, underlayment, flashing, ventilation, and cleanup all belong in writing. Missing lines become change orders.
Ask about decking contingencies: Rotted sheathing shows up after tear-off begins. Written unit pricing prevents an uncomfortable mid-project conversation.
Discuss accessories up front: Replacing skylights during a reroof costs far less than doing it later. Sequence saves money.
Verify review depth: A 4.8-star average across 1,000+ reviews reflects consistency. Look for detail about cleanup and communication.
Check financing options: Flexible terms let a needed roof replacement move forward now. Waiting rarely lowers the final cost.

Matching the Crew to the Project

Top Recommendation: Hire a GAF Master Elite contractor carrying a 50-year comprehensive warranty with unlimited wind speed coverage.
Best for Tight Timelines: Select a company with in-house crews rather than subcontracted labor.
Best for Historic Streetscapes: Choose installers experienced with steep pitches, dormers, and original chimney flashing.
