What We Repair in Reading
Senco Home Services repairs roofs for homeowners in Reading, MA, from a single cracked shingle to a chimney flashing leak that's made it into the attic. A lot of Reading's houses were built before 1940, so a repair call here often comes with a second question: what's the rest of the roof like? We answer both. For our full repair process, see the main roof repair page.
Leak Repair on Older Reading Roofs
Water rarely shows up where it gets in. It runs along rafters and sheathing before it stains a ceiling. We trace the leak to where it enters, which is usually flashing, a valley, or a lifted shingle, fix it there, and check the rest of the roof while we're up. Get a free repair quote or call for a fast look.
Storm and Ice Dam Damage
Reading is designed to a 50 psf ground snow load, and winter is when the repair calls pile up. Ice dams push meltwater back under the shingles at the eaves, and spring storms finish off whatever the winter loosened. We repair the damaged shingles, underlayment, and flashing, and talk through what will stop it happening again.
Repairs in the West Street Historic District
Reading's Historic District Commission exempts ordinary maintenance and repair from review, as long as the work doesn't replace a feature or change its materials, design, or size. A like-for-like repair fits that. A full re-roof or a material change needs a certificate first. If your home is in the district, we confirm with the Commission before work starts.
Repair or Replace?
More than a quarter of Reading's homes were built before 1940, but an old house can have a young roof. We judge the roof, not the house: the decking, the flashing, how many layers there are, and how widespread the wear is. If a repair buys real years, we'll repair it. If the roof is past that point, see our Reading roof replacement page.
Storm & Wind Damage Repair
Torn, cracked, or wind-lifted shingles repaired after a storm.
Missing & Damaged Shingle Repair
Shingles replaced and matched to your roof so the repair blends in.
Flashing Repair & Replacement
Chimney, wall, vent, and valley flashing resealed or rebuilt.
Ice Dam Damage Repair
Water forced under the shingles by ice dams, repaired at the eaves.
Emergency Roof Repair
Active leak? We hold a 48-hour response time on every repair call.
For existing roofing and siding customers, we also handle related interior repairs like drywall patching and trim. Roof repair is where most of our time goes.

Local Roof Repair From Tewksbury
Reading Roof Repair, About 10 Miles From Our Shop
Senco is based at 1150 Main St in Tewksbury, about 16 minutes from Reading through Wilmington. When you call, you're talking to the company whose crew will be on your roof.
Reading is a town of about 25,500 people on 9.9 square miles, incorporated in 1644, and its housing shows it. More than a quarter of the homes predate 1940, the town has 89 National Register listings, and very little has been built since 2000. That mix means a lot of roofs with history: earlier repairs, older flashing around chimneys, and board sheathing under the shingles. We repair with that in mind.
If a repair turns into a re-roof, Reading needs a building permit issued and posted at the property before work starts. We file it with the Building Division at Town Hall, 16 Lowell Street (781-942-6613).

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
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
Not Sure Which You Need?
Repair or full roof replacement in Reading?
If storm or age damage covers more than about a quarter of the roof, replacement is usually the better call. Under that, a targeted repair often does the job. We'll look and tell you which one you've got.

Reading roof repair questions
How fast can you get to a roof leak in Reading?
We hold a 48-hour response time on repair calls, and an active leak goes to the front of the line. Reading is about 10 miles from our Tewksbury shop. Call 978-647-3626 and tell us what you're seeing.
Does a roof repair in Reading need a permit?
Reading puts roofing work under its building permit process, and a full re-roof always needs one. For a small repair, like a few shingles or a flashing reseal, we check with the Building Division at 16 Lowell Street (781-942-6613) whether a permit applies. If a repair grows into a re-roof once we're up there, we file the permit before going any further.
Can I repair a roof in the West Street historic district without a hearing?
Reading's Historic District Commission exempts ordinary maintenance and repair from review. Its guidelines say that exemption doesn't cover replacement or a change in materials, design, or size. So matching like for like is the kind of work the exemption describes, while a full re-roof or a switch to a different material needs a certificate. If your home is in the district, we confirm with the Commission before we start.
My Reading house is over 80 years old. Is the roof worth repairing?
The age of the house doesn't decide it; the condition of the roof does. More than a quarter of Reading's homes were built before 1940, and an old house can carry a much younger roof. We look at the decking, the flashing, and how many layers are up there, then tell you whether a repair buys real years or a replacement makes more sense.
Do you repair storm and wind damage, and will insurance cover it?
Yes, we repair it. Whether insurance pays depends on your policy, so confirm coverage with your carrier. After a storm we inspect the whole roof, repair the damage, and document what we find in case you file a claim.
Do you offer financing for roof repairs?
Yes. Through our lending partner GreenSky you can get 0% financing for 12 months, with no interest and no payments, plus 10- and 15-year plans for a bigger repair. The credit check is a soft pull and won't affect your score.
