Roofing Contractor in Andover, MA

Senco Home Services is a licensed roofing contractor serving Andover, MA and the towns around it — specializing in full asphalt shingle roof replacement and new roof installations. Andover's housing stock runs the gamut from centuries-old antique homes to a planned 1920s mill village, and each comes with its own roofing considerations. Our CertainTeed Shingle Master Certified crews install it right the first time, backed by warranties in writing. This page covers what that looks like specifically for Andover homes — for the full rundown of our roofing process and materials, see our main roofing services page.

Asphalt Shingle Roof Replacement in Andover, MA

Andover carries a genuinely wide range of roof ages. The town has a documented cluster of pre-1800 homes — some with confirmed construction windows from the 1670s through the 1770s — concentrated in the older village areas, alongside a distinct, dateable cohort in Shawsheen Village, the planned corporate community built between 1919 and 1924 with more than 200 purpose-built houses, and 19th-century mill-worker housing in Ballardvale along the Shawsheen River. None of that original framing is still wearing its original roof, but the venting, decking, and rafter spacing on a true antique Andover home is often different from what we'd find on a mid-century ranch, and it changes how we approach a tear-off. Whatever era your home falls into, we handle the same full job: tear-off, decking inspection and repair, new underlayment and flashing, and a fresh layer of CertainTeed shingles matched to your home.

3-Tab, Architectural & Luxury Shingle Options

Not every asphalt shingle is the same, and picking the right one changes both the look of your home and how long the roof lasts. We'll walk you through the options and install whichever fits your home and budget.

Metal & Flat Roofing

Most of the homes we roof get a standard asphalt shingle replacement, but not every roof is pitched the same way. Flat and low-slope sections — over a porch, addition, or garage — need a different roofing system than the main house, and a metal roof is a durable option for standing-seam or low-slope applications where shingles aren't the right fit. If your project includes a flat roof, a metal roof section, or a full commercial building, see our commercial roofing page — that's where we spend most of our flat and metal roofing time.

Roof Replacement vs. New Roof Installation

The two calls we get most are "replace my roof" and "put a roof over my new addition" — and they're not quite the same job. A full roof replacement means tearing off the existing shingles down to the decking, inspecting and repairing anything underneath, and rebuilding from there. A new roof installation is roofing a structure that doesn't have shingles yet — a new addition, a garage, or new construction — with no tear-off required. Either way, you get the same CertainTeed materials, the same crew, and the same warranty.

Free Roof Inspections in Andover, MA

Before we quote a roof replacement in Andover, we take a real look — checking the shingles, flashing, decking, and attic ventilation, not just what's visible from the driveway, and checking whether your address falls inside the Ballardvale Historic District before we finalize a scope. That inspection is free and comes with no obligation, whether you end up needing a full replacement, a smaller roof repair, or nothing at all yet. If you're not sure which one you need, get a free roof quote and we'll tell you the truth.

Local Roofing, Not a Call Center

Andover's Roofing Contractor, With Real Historic-District Know-How

We're not a national franchise dispatching a crew from an hour away — Senco is based at 1150 Main St in Tewksbury, about 6 miles and a 14-minute drive from Andover, and we've done residential roofing on homes across the town, from antique colonials near the old village center to the planned neighborhoods of Shawsheen Village and Ballardvale. For a look at our actual work in town, see the Andover siding project in our portfolio.

Andover was settled in 1642 and incorporated in 1646, and it shows in the housing stock: the town has a documented cluster of surviving 17th- and 18th-century homes, with the oldest, the Chandler-Bigsby-Abbot House, dated to 1673, and several others with confirmed construction windows from the 1690s through the 1770s. Roofs on homes that old have obviously been replaced many times over, but the original framing, rafter spacing, and venting on a true antique often calls for a closer look than a standard tear-off — something we account for before we ever write a quote.

Two of Andover's neighborhoods carry their own distinct, dateable housing cohorts. Shawsheen Village was a fully planned corporate community built by the American Woolen Company between 1919 and 1924 — more than 200 purpose-built houses laid out by a team of Boston and Lawrence architects before the mills closed in 1953 and the homes passed into private hands. Ballardvale, a few miles away along the Shawsheen River, grew up as 19th-century mill-worker housing and has its own commuter rail stop, separate from downtown Andover's. Both give Andover a genuinely different housing story than Tewksbury or Billerica's largely 20th-century suburban stock.

If your home sits inside the Ballardvale Historic District, there's a step most roofing contractors won't think to mention: any exterior work visible from the street — a re-roof included — needs a Certificate of Appropriateness from the Ballardvale Historic District Commission before work starts. Applications go through the town's online portal, and the Commission meets the first Wednesday of each month. We factor that timeline into a Ballardvale quote up front instead of surprising you with it mid-project. Outside the historic district, Andover's Building Division (36 Bartlet Street, 978-623-8620) doesn't require a permit for in-kind roofing — swapping asphalt shingles for the same — though switching roofing materials does trigger one, and we handle that paperwork either way.

Andover's homes also run meaningfully higher in value than the rest of our service area — a median home value around $855,600, well above Tewksbury's or Billerica's — and we quote Andover roofs accordingly, leaning into architectural and luxury shingle lines rather than builder-grade 3-tab. On the code side, Andover's building code table lists a 50 psf ground snow load and a 117 mph ultimate design wind speed, and the same statewide ice-barrier underlayment rule applies at the eaves, so every Andover roof gets full ice-and-water shield and properly sealed flashing.

Every Andover roof goes on with CertainTeed asphalt shingles — traditional, architectural, or luxury profiles — put on by a CertainTeed Shingle Master Certified crew. That's the same materials and installation standard behind our full roofing services, and it's what lets us back an Andover roof with CertainTeed's 50-year materials & labor warranty plus Senco's own 10-year workmanship warranty, both in writing.
