Roof Repair in Lowell, MA

Senco Home Services repairs roofs in Lowell, MA, from a single storm-cracked shingle to a chimney flashing leak that's found its way into a top-floor ceiling. We've done repair work in the city, and the buildings here are old enough that a repair call usually comes with a second question: is a repair still the right call on this roof? Every call gets a free assessment, a straight answer on repair versus replacement, and a 48-hour response. For our full repair process, see the main roof repair page.

Roof Leak Repair

Water rarely comes through the ceiling where it gets into the roof. It runs along rafters and sheathing first, and on a three-story building it can travel a long way. We trace the leak to its source (usually age, storm damage or failed flashing), fix the shingles, underlayment or flashing at fault, and check the rest of the roof while we're up there. Get a free repair quote or call for a fast assessment.

Storm Damage Repair

Wind and heavy New England storms can crack, lift or tear off shingles in an afternoon. After a storm we inspect the whole roof, not only the obvious damage, and repair torn shingles, bent flashing and wind-lifted sections before they turn into a leak. If insurance covers it, we'll document the damage for your claim.

Repair or Replace on a Pre-War Lowell Roof

Census data puts the median Lowell home at 1942, and about half the city's housing units are in buildings from before 1940. Most of those roofs have been redone at least once, some several times, so the house's age tells you less than the shingles on top and the deck under them. Sometimes a targeted repair buys real years. Sometimes the roof is far enough along that a repair only delays a bigger job. We'll tell you which before we quote. If it's time, see our Lowell roof replacement page.

Local Roof Repair, Not a Call Center

Lowell's Roof Repair Crew, Ten Minutes Up Route 38

Senco is based at 1150 Main St in Tewksbury. Main Street turns into Rogers Street at the Lowell line, and the city is about 5 miles and 10 minutes from the shop. When a Lowell roof is leaking, distance isn't what slows us down.

We cover all eight neighborhoods: the Acre, Back Central, Belvidere, Centralville, Downtown, the Highlands, Pawtucketville and South Lowell. About a quarter of the city's housing units are in two-family and three- and four-unit buildings, so in a lot of Lowell homes the owner first hears about a leak from a tenant. We'll set a time that works for whoever needs to let us in.

Lowell's permit rule covers repair work as well as replacement, and roofing is on the city's permit list. For a small fix we check with the Division of Development Services at City Hall, 375 Merrimack Street (978-674-4144), before we start. If what looked like a repair turns into a re-roof, we pull the permit as part of the job.

Lowell is in the same 50 psf ground-snow-load column as Tewksbury in the state building code, and under the same statewide ice-barrier rule. A Lowell ice dam repair gets the same ice-and-water shield and sealed flashing we'd use on our own roof.
