Roof Repair in Chelmsford, MA

Senco Home Services repairs roofs for homeowners in Chelmsford, MA, from a single cracked shingle to a chimney flashing leak that's reached the attic. We start with a free assessment, tell you whether a repair is the right call or whether the roof is past it, and hold a 48-hour response on every repair call. Our main roof repair page covers the process in full.

Roof Leak Repair

Water rarely shows up on the ceiling where it got in. It runs along rafters and sheathing first. We trace the leak to where it starts, which is usually worn shingles, storm damage, or failed flashing, fix it there, and check the rest of the roof for damage you can't see from the ground.

Storm Damage Repair

Wind and hail can crack, lift, or strip shingles in one afternoon. After a storm we go over the whole roof, not only the spot you noticed, and repair torn shingles, bent flashing, and wind-lifted sections before they start leaking. If you're filing an insurance claim, we document the damage for you.

Repair or Replace on an Older Chelmsford House

Chelmsford's median home was built in 1967, and the 1950s and 60s together account for about two homes in five. Most of those houses are on their second or third roof, so the age of the house doesn't tell you the age of the shingles. Sometimes a targeted repair buys real years. Sometimes the whole roof is near the end, and a repair only pushes back a bigger job. We'll tell you which one you have before we quote anything, and if it's replacement, see roof replacement in Chelmsford.

Chelmsford Roof Repair From Tewksbury

Senco is based at 1150 Main St in Tewksbury, about 9 miles from Chelmsford along Route 38. When a repair call comes in from Chelmsford, the crew that shows up is our own.

Chelmsford spreads out from the town center into North Chelmsford, with its own ZIP code and Vinal Square, and into South, East, and West Chelmsford and the Westlands. Much of it went up in the 1950s and 60s, when the town's population more than doubled in a single decade. A roof on one of those houses has often been patched before, so on a Chelmsford repair call we're deciding two things: how to stop the leak, and whether the roof has more repairs left in it.

Chelmsford issues roofing work with no structural change under its Residential Short permit, through the Building Department at 50 Billerica Road (978-250-5225). For a small repair we check with that office. If the job turns into a re-roof, we pull the permit as part of it.

Massachusetts code puts Chelmsford in the 50 psf ground snow load column, the same as Tewksbury, and the statewide ice barrier rule applies at every eave. When we fix ice dam damage in Chelmsford, the new section gets the same ice and water shield and sealed flashing as a full roof.

Repairs go in with CertainTeed asphalt shingles, matched as closely as we can to your roof, and installed by a Shingle Master Certified crew.
