Response
We hold a 48-hour response time on every roof repair call in Burlington and the towns around it, and the assessment is free.
Senco Home Services repairs roofs for homeowners in Burlington, MA, from a single cracked shingle to a chimney flashing leak that's reached the attic. Every call starts with a free assessment, and we'll tell you whether a repair will hold or the roof is closer to replacement. For how we handle repairs in general, see our main roof repair page.
Water rarely shows up where it got in. It runs along rafters and sheathing before it stains a ceiling, so we trace the leak back to the real entry point, usually worn shingles, storm damage, or failed flashing, and fix it there. Get a free repair quote or call for a fast look.
By Census data, the median Burlington home was built in 1972, and the 1950s built more of today's houses than any other decade. Those roofs have usually been patched or replaced at least once already. On a repair call here, part of the job is deciding whether this fix buys real years or the roof under it is close to done. If it's the second, our Burlington roof replacement page covers what comes next.
Wind and heavy storms can crack, lift, or tear off shingles in an afternoon. We check the whole roof, not only the spot you can see from the driveway, and fix torn shingles, bent flashing, and lifted sections before they turn into a leak.
Traced to the actual source and fixed there, rather than patched over the stain.
Torn, cracked, or wind-lifted shingles repaired fast after a storm.
Individual shingles replaced and matched to your roof so the repair blends in.
Chimney, vent, and valley flashing resealed or rebuilt to stop leaks at the joints.
Winter ice dams push water under shingles. We repair the damage and talk through prevention.
Active leak? It goes to the front of the line, inside our 48-hour response time.
A rushed patch means another call next season, so a repair gets the same care as a full roof. Our crews are CertainTeed Shingle Master Certified, licensed, and insured.
Senco is based at 1150 Main St in Tewksbury, past Billerica and Wilmington from Burlington and about 20 minutes away. We've completed roofing and siding jobs in Burlington.
Water is a real theme in Burlington. It sits at the headwaters of three watersheds, 7.5% of the town is in the 100-year flood zone, and the town's own plan names Sawmill Brook from the Wilmington line to Lucaya Circle, plus Vine Brook, Sandy Brook, and Longmeadow Brook, as the areas that flood most. A roof can't stop a rising brook, but it shouldn't add to the problem, so while we're up there we'll tell you where your gutters and downspouts are putting the roof's water.
Burlington's permit application lists roofing repairs among the work that needs a permit before it starts, through the Building Department at 25 Center Street (781-270-1615). If your repair needs one, we pull it. And if a repair turns into a full re-roof after we're up there, the permit comes with the job.
Burlington has a 50 psf ground snow load under the building code, the same as Tewksbury, so an ice-dam repair here gets the same ice-and-water shield and sealed flashing we'd use at home.
Tewksbury is home base. These are the towns we repair roofs in around it:

That's our real, current rating across Tewksbury, Burlington, and the surrounding towns. The first review below is from Stephen and Melissa Spinosa, Burlington homeowners, word for word as they posted it. The other two are real, unedited Google reviews from elsewhere in our service area, and we'll add more Burlington ones here as they come in.
Owner, Chris, was extremely knowledgeable and very professional. He always responded promptly to our questions and we always felt we were important to him. His crew worked so great together, like they never had to ask each other for anything, they just knew what was next. The job was started earlier than planned and everything was done above and beyond what one would expect. We would, and have, already recommended Senco Home Services to other homeowners and look forward to having him back to replace our old windows. Thank you, Chris, for making this an easy decision for us and for providing quality workmanship. Stephen and Melissa Spinosa in BurlingtonJenna Spinosa · Google Review
We had an excellent experience with Senco. Chris was amazing! He was professional, patient, explained things clearly and answered all our questions. He always returned our phone inquiries. He and his workers went above and beyond our expectations. His crew replaced our roof in one day. Clean up was great. We also had Senco remove the ice dams prior to having the roof replaced. Once again, Senco's pricing was fair, the crew was hard working and responsive to any concerns we may have had. I highly recommend this company and would use them again.Elaine Levine · Google Review
Senco did many homes in my neighborhood. I recognized their competence, honesty and quality right away and knew I had to have the Senco team on my roof too. Very satisfied with all aspects of the demolition and installation which was quite complex. Replaced facia boards with AZEK, new gutters, and a new roof. Thanks again Senco!! Excellent job!!Jim O. · Google Review
If storm or age damage covers more than about a quarter of the roof, replacement is usually the smarter call. Under that, a targeted repair is often all it takes, and we'll tell you which after we've been up there.

Burlington roof repair questions
It can. Burlington's permit application lists roofing repairs among the work that needs a permit before it starts, and permits go through the Building Department at 25 Center Street (781-270-1615). The current residential fee is $13 per $1,000 of job cost with a $50 minimum. If your repair needs one, we pull it, and if a small fix raises the question we check with the Building Department first.
Because most of the town was built in one stretch. About 55% of Burlington's houses went up between 1950 and 1979, and the 1950s alone built nearly a quarter of them. Neighbors' roofs tend to age together. Age on its own doesn't mean you need a new roof, though, and most leaks start at flashing, a valley, or a few lifted shingles.
We hold a 48-hour response time on repair calls, and an active leak goes to the front of the line. Our shop in Tewksbury is about 20 minutes away. Call 978-647-3626, because water in the attic only spreads.
Sometimes part of it is. Burlington sits at the headwaters of three watersheds, and the town's own plan says homes along Sawmill Brook, Vine Brook, Sandy Brook, and Longmeadow Brook can see wet cellars in heavy rain. That's groundwater we can't fix from the roof. What we can fix is roof water that a failed gutter or a short downspout dumps right at your foundation, and we'll point it out if we see it.
If storm or age damage covers more than about a quarter of the roof, replacement is usually the smarter call. Under that, a targeted repair can give the roof years more. We'll inspect it and tell you which one you're looking at before we quote anything.
We repair it. Whether insurance pays depends on your policy, so confirm coverage with your carrier. After a storm we look over the whole roof, fix the damage, and document what we find in case you file a claim.
