Storms don't keep business hours. We hold a 48-hour response time on every roof repair call in Wilmington, and an active leak moves to the front of the line.
Senco Home Services repairs roofs for homeowners across Wilmington, MA: leaks, storm and wind damage, missing shingles, failed flashing, and the damage ice dams leave behind. For the full rundown of how we handle repairs, see our main roof repair page.
Water rarely shows up on the ceiling where it got into the roof. It runs along rafters and sheathing first. We trace it back to where it's entering, whether that's a cracked boot around a vent pipe, lifted shingles, or a gap in the chimney flashing, and fix it there.
A hard wind can lift or tear off shingles in an afternoon, and a lifted shingle that looks fine from the driveway can let water in all winter. After a storm we check the whole roof, repair what's damaged, and document what we find in case you file an insurance claim.
The census puts the median Wilmington home at a year built of 1979, and the town grew in two waves: post-war capes and ranches in the 1950s, then more homes in the 1990s than in any other decade. A 1990s roof that's never been replaced is 26 to 36 years old, past the 20 to 30 years asphalt usually lasts here. On a roof that age, we'll tell you whether a repair buys real time or whether you'd be paying to patch something that needs replacing. If it's time, see roof replacement in Wilmington.
An active leak doesn't wait for a convenient week. Call 978-647-3626 and we'll get back to you fast, with a 48-hour response time on repair calls.

A repair gets the same care as a full roof, because a rushed patch means another call next season. The roofers who fix your leak are the same CertainTeed Shingle Master Certified crews who install our full roofs, and they're licensed and insured.
Senco is based at 1150 Main St in Tewksbury, which borders Wilmington. Town center to town center it's about six miles, roughly ten minutes, so a repair call from Wilmington Center, North Wilmington, or the Silver Lake neighborhood is a short trip for us.
Many of Wilmington's older capes and ranches have been re-roofed before, sometimes with a new layer over the old one. On the 1990s colonials, the original flashing and shingles are reaching the age where small leaks start. Both are repairable when caught early.
If a repair grows into a re-roof, Wilmington requires a building permit from the Building Inspector's office at Town Hall, 146 Middlesex Avenue, Room 202 (978-658-4531). The permit package includes an asbestos document and a sign-off from the Treasurer that taxes are current. We take care of all of it.
Wilmington sits in the 50 psf column of the state's snow-load table, same as Tewksbury, and the statewide ice-barrier rule applies. When we replace shingles at the eaves, the ice-and-water shield underneath gets put back the way the code calls for.
Tewksbury is home base. Here are the towns we cover around it:
One local crew for leaks, storm damage, shingles, and flashing, plus the financing to pay for it.
Leaks on a Wilmington roof traced to the real source, whether that's age, storm damage, or failed flashing, and fixed there.
Torn, cracked, or lifted shingles repaired after a storm, with the damage documented for your insurance claim.
Individual shingles matched and replaced so the repair blends into your existing roof.
Wilmington is in the same 50 psf snow-load column as Tewksbury. We repair ice dam damage and rebuild the eave protection under it.
Repair shingles and materials come from CertainTeed, installed by the same certified crews that put on our full roofs.
Repair now and pay later with GreenSky: 0% for 12 months, or 10- and 15-year plans.

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
If storm or age damage covers more than about a quarter of the roof, replacement is usually the smarter money. We'll look at it for free and tell you which side of that line you're on.

Roof repair questions
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 ten minutes from the middle of Wilmington, so travel time isn't what slows us down. Call 978-647-3626 and tell us what you're seeing.
It depends on the size of the job. Re-roofing needs a building permit from the Building Inspector's office at Town Hall, 146 Middlesex Avenue (978-658-4531), and Wilmington's permit package includes an asbestos document and a Treasurer's sign-off that taxes are current. The town doesn't publish a cutoff for small repairs, so we check with that office on yours and pull a permit whenever one is needed.
It tells us where to look first. About half of Wilmington's homes went up before 1980, led by the 1950s, and the 1990s added more homes than any other decade. On a 1950s house we check for a second layer of shingles and flashing that's been patched before. On a 1990s house the original shingles, pipe boots, and step flashing are reaching the age where small leaks start.
A good rule of thumb: if storm or age damage covers more than about a quarter of the roof, replacement is usually the smarter money. Damage in one spot, like a chimney, a valley, or a few blown-off shingles, is usually a repair. We'll inspect it for free and tell you which one you're looking at.
Yes, we repair storm and wind damage. Whether insurance covers it depends on your policy and the cause of the damage. We inspect the whole roof, repair what we find, and document what we find in case you file a claim.
Yes. Through our lending partner GreenSky, you can finance a repair at 0% for 12 months with no interest and no payments, or use a 10- or 15-year plan for bigger jobs. The credit check is a soft pull and won't affect your score. See your financing options.
