Before & After

Choose a roofing contractor with GAF Master Elite certification (top 3% in North America), transferable lifetime warranties, and extensive regional weather expertise specific to New England’s challenges. Look for factory-trained installers with 1,000+ local installations, verified customer reviews with 4.8 stars, and proper licensing and insurance coverage in your state.

Here’s what separates exceptional roofing contractors from the rest:

  • GAF Master Elite Certification — Only 3% of roofing contractors in North America earn this status, requiring rigorous factory training, proven installation excellence, strong business practices, and commitment to ongoing education in roofing best practices.
  • Transferable Lifetime Warranties — Top contractors offer manufacturer-backed warranties that transfer to future homeowners, protecting your investment and increasing home resale value—most basic contractors only provide 10-15 year limited coverage.  Make sure you also have 25-year labor workmanship warranty.  No one wants a box of shingles dropped off to their door to have them fix it for themselves!
  • Regional Weather Expertise — Choose contractors with proven experience installing roofs designed for New England’s specific challenges including ice dam prevention, unlimited wind resistance, and thermal cycling from extreme temperature swings.
  • Verified Customer Reviews and Portfolio — Look for 900+ verified reviews with ratings with a minimum of 4.8 stars, plus photo documentation of completed projects, gallery, similar to your home style and roofing material preferences.
  • Comprehensive Insurance and Licensing — Verify active workers’ compensation insurance, general liability coverage ($1M minimum), and current state contractor licenses in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, or Maine to protect yourself from liability.
  • Transparent Pricing and Clear Workmanship Warranties — Reputable contractors provide detailed written estimates, clear project timelines, and standalone labor warranties separate from material warranties, ensuring long-term installation quality.


Red Flags to Avoid:

  • No physical business address or local office
  • Requires full payment upfront before work begins
  • Cannot provide proof of insurance or licensing
  • Pressure tactics or “today only” pricing
  • No references from recent local projects


Green Flags of Quality:

  • GAF Master Elite or equivalent manufacturer certification
  • 10+ years serving your specific region
  • Written warranties on both materials and labor
  • Free, no-pressure estimates with 3D modeling

Project Spotlight: Roofing

I was introduced to Coastal Windows and Exteriors during the Beverly Homecoming Lobster Fest, and from that moment, I knew I wanted to support this women-owned company that values military and first responders. We'd been delaying a much-needed roof replacement since purchasing our home in 2019, and despite getting quotes from other roofers, we hadn't taken the plunge.

When we finally decided to move forward, Coastal Windows and Exteriors stood out. Meeting with their sales team, Erik and Patrick, was a fantastic experience. They not only explained our roofing needs clearly but also offered the best price we'd seen. While there was a minor hiccup in communication, it might have been a misunderstanding on my part.

Once the team started the work, they were efficient and considerate, ensuring our safety, especially because we have two young children. The follow-up and support, particularly from Stephanie and Dean, were exceptional.

Coastal Windows and Exteriors truly made this experience easy and stress-free. I highly recommend them to anyone in need of roofing services. Thank you to the whole team for a job well done! Our roof has changed the whole look of our house in the best way too!

Exterior Home Remodeling FAQs for Coastal Windows & Exteriors

  • Upgrade to GAF architectural shingles with Master Elite installation designed to handle New England’s freeze-thaw cycles
  • Need immediate help? Our Emergency Ice Dam Roof Replacement Program gets you a 24-hour appointment. We remove the ice dam first, then install your new GAF roof with 6 ft. of ice & water shield. 50% off installation + financing up to 20 years.

Most roofs need replacement every 10-15 years as part of necessary exterior home upgrades.

  • Metal roofing lasts 50-70+ years with minimal maintenance

Coastal Windows & Exteriors offers Emergency Ice Dam & Roof Leak Inspections with priority scheduling for New England homes with active leaks.

What Massachusetts Homeowners Need to Know:

  • Emergency Situations: When water is pouring through your ceiling, emergency roof repair runs $1,800 for leak repairs and up to $4,000 for ice dam removal — and every hour counts.
  • Priority Scheduling: Coastal Windows & Exteriors provides emergency roof inspections and estimates with priority scheduling quickly for active leaks, then assesses the problem the following day.
  • Ice Dam Response: Those New England freeze/thaw cycles are brutal on our roofs. Ice dams cause roof leaks, ceiling stains, and interior water damage that can spiral fast without professional intervention.
  • Root Cause Assessment: Ventilation or insulation issues often trigger ice dams, but roof design and winter protection play roles, too. A comprehensive inspection pinpoints the actual source of the problem.

Metal roofing systems last 70+ years withstanding extreme New England weather.

Steel and aluminum resist corrosion while lasting through heavy snow. Metal roofs shed snow naturally preventing ice dam buildup.

What Homeowners Need to Know:

  • Steel Metal Roofing Durability: Steel is the most common metal roofing material. It’s strong, durable, and more affordable than other options. Steel roofing receives zinc coating preventing rust with sealant preserving appearance.
  • Aluminum for Coastal Areas: Aluminum is lightweight and naturally resistant to corrosion and rust. This makes it excellent for coastal areas with salty air. It’s highly customizable as well, allowing for unique roof shapes and designs.
  • Snow Shedding Capabilities: Metal roofs naturally shed snow to prevent heavy accumulation. That’s because smooth metal surfaces allow snow to slide off, reducing weight. This eliminates damaging ice buildup that threatens traditional roofing systems.
  • Ice Dam Prevention Design: True Nature trim systems prevent potentially damaging ice build-up. Sno Gem Polycarbonate Snow Retention Systems control snow release safely. Water-shedding channels lock water diverting downward over tiles away from underlayment.
  • Capillary Action Water Management: Cascading water travels laterally along roof edges seeking underlayment entry. Proprietary engineering locks water into channels diverting flow downward. This minimizes water damage which represents roofs’ greatest threat.
  • 70-Year Lifespan Investment: Metal roofs last as long as 70 years resisting weather. This provides a once-in-a-lifetime roof replacement eliminating repeated costs. Highly resistant to extreme conditions including high winds and rain.
  • Fully Recyclable Materials: Metal roofs are fully recyclable. This makes it an eco-friendly product while providing superior performance. Metal withstands New England’s toughest weather, protecting homes for decades!

Top Recommendation: Steel metal roofing providing 70+ year lifespan with superior durability.

Best for Coastal Homes: Aluminum naturally resisting salt air corrosion and rust.

Best for Snow Conditions: Metal systems shedding snow naturally preventing damaging ice dams.

Ice dam removal stops immediate leaking but doesn’t prevent future ice dams. Removal costs reach $4,000 while leak repairs cost up to $24,000.

Prevention requires proper ventilation and leak barrier installation addressing root causes.

What Homeowners Need to Know:

  • Temporary Relief Only: Removing existing ice dams stops active water infiltration through ceilings and walls. However, removal doesn’t address inadequate insulation or ventilation causing ice formation. Without fixing root causes, ice dams reform after the next snowfall.
  • Removal Costs Add Up: Ice dam removal costs up to $4,000 per incident, requiring professional equipment. Snow removal from your roof costs roughly $200-$700.
  • Secondary Repair Expenses: Roof leak repairs cost up to $24,000 after ice dam damage occurs. Shingle repairs range $130-$9,000 depending on ice damage extent and severity. 
  • Leak Barrier Protection: Proper leak barriers prevent water entering through roof decks at eaves. Coastal installs 6 feet of leak barrier while most companies install 3. GAF StormGuard® Leak Barrier self-seals preventing water infiltration around chimneys and valleys.
  • Ventilation Requirements: Proper ventilation lowers attic temperature reducing snow melting causing ice dams. Cobra® Ridge Vents and MasterFlow® Intake Soffit Vents balance indoor attic temperature. Meanwhile, balanced airflow maintains an even roof temperature while preventing ice dam formation.
  • Prevention Versus Removal: Prevention through ventilation and insulation costs less than repeated annual removal services. Removing ice dams treats symptoms while proper roofing systems address root causes. New roof installation with proper ventilation eliminates ice dam problems permanently.
  • Long-Term Damage Risk: Water seepage from ice dams causes wood rot in rafter beams. Furthermore, moisture ruins interior walls, windows, and ceilings requiring extensive repairs costing thousands. Heavy ice accumulation pulls gutters completely off roofs causing additional structural damage.

In New England, ice dams cause severe damage to both shingles and gutters requiring costly repairs. Shingle repairs range $130-$9,000 while gutter damage adds expense.

Heavy ice accumulation pulls gutters completely off roofs causing additional structural harm.

What Homeowners Need to Know:

  • Shingle Lifting and Tearing: Ice buildup forces water under shingle tabs causing lifting and separation. Water seeps beneath shingles when ice dams block drainage. Without leak barriers, water damages the underlayment causing rot. This leads to complete shingle replacement.
  • Gutter System Failure: Ice becomes too heavy, pulling entire gutter systems off roofs. After that, gutters sitting away from warm roofs allow water to refreeze, creating dams. Frozen gutters crack and separate from fascia boards requiring expensive replacement and repairs.
  • Repair Cost Ranges: Shingle repairs range from $130-$9,000. Gutter cleaning costs $75-$400 while complete replacement reaches thousands depending on the home. Snow guards cost $500-$10,000, providing protection but requiring significant upfront investment.
  • Water Infiltration Path: Without proper leak barriers, water enters attic spaces while damaging insulation and ceilings.
  • Long-Term Structural Damage: Repeated ice dam cycles weaken shingle adhesion causing premature roof failure. Water damage to roof decking requires expensive structural repairs costing thousands additionally. Fascia boards rot from constant ice contact necessitating complete replacement before gutters.
  • Prevention Through Proper Installation: Six feet of leak barrier protects your roof edges from water damage. Proper ventilation prevents snow melting that creates ice dams damaging shingles initially. Quality installation techniques ensure shingles remain sealed preventing water entry during ice events.
  • Warning Signs of Damage: Curling shingles, sagging gutters, and interior wall stains indicate moisture damage from ice dams. 

The Cost of Ice Dam Damage

Look for GAF Master Elite certification, which only 3% of contractors nationwide achieve.

This credential requires proven installation expertise and financial stability. Professional contractors carry minimum $2M general liability insurance and maintain current licensure.

What Massachusetts Homeowners Need to Know:

  • Certification Verification: GAF Master Elite contractors offer extended warranties and proven quality standards. They complete ongoing training and maintain high customer satisfaction ratings. This certification separates exceptional contractors from basic installers.
  • Insurance Coverage: Verify general liability coverage of $2M or higher before signing contracts. Furthermore, workers’ compensation insurance protects homeowners from liability during roof work. Request current certificates of insurance directly from the provider, not copies.
  • Project Track Record: Contractors with 7,000+ installations demonstrate consistent quality and reliability. Review recent project photos showing work similar to your home’s style and complexity. Check completion timelines and warranty fulfillment history across multiple years.
  • Review Analysis: Research 500+ reviews across Google, Angi, and Yelp for comprehensive feedback patterns. Look for detailed responses to both positive and negative reviews showing accountability. Furthermore, recent reviews from the past six months give clues to current service quality.
  • Estimate Transparency: Detailed quotes should itemize materials, labor, disposal, and timeline expectations. Comparison shopping requires 3-5 written estimates with identical scope specifications. Avoid contractors requiring large upfront deposits exceeding industry standards.
  • Warranty Protection: Lifetime warranties from manufacturers protect against defects when installed by certified contractors. Installation warranties should cover workmanship for minimum 10 years with transferable coverage. Verify warranty registration processes and claim procedures before project start.
  • Local Weather Expertise: New England contractors understand ice dam prevention, proper ventilation for harsh winters, and coastal wind resistance. Regional experience with nor’easters and temperature extremes ensures appropriate installation methods. Local contractors respond faster to emergency repairs and warranty service needs.
