Roofing Contractor in Billerica, MA

Senco Home Services is a licensed roofing contractor serving Billerica, MA and the towns around it — specializing in full asphalt shingle roof replacement and new roof installations. Billerica is one of the towns we're on the most: our shop sits about 10 minutes away in Tewksbury, and a lot of Billerica's housing stock is hitting the age where a roof is due. Whether yours is nearing the end of its life or you're roofing an addition from scratch, 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 Billerica homes — for the full rundown of our roofing process and materials, see our main roofing services page.

Asphalt Shingle Roof Replacement in Billerica, MA

A lot of Billerica roofs share a birthday. Town housing data puts the median Billerica home at a year built of 1974, and roughly 60% of the town's housing stock — split-entry ranches, capes, and colonials alike — went up between 1940 and 1979, with the heaviest concentration in the 1960s and 70s. If your home is one of the split-entry or ranch-style houses from that era — a housing style so common in town that one local real-estate write-up jokingly called Billerica "the split-entry capital" — there's a real chance the roof on it is an original or a first replacement, and either way it's in the window where a second or third re-roof starts making sense. When it's time, we handle the full job: tear-off of the old roof, inspection and repair of the decking underneath, 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 Billerica, MA

Before we quote a roof replacement in Billerica, we take a real look — checking the shingles, flashing, decking, and attic ventilation, not just what's visible from the driveway. 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

Billerica's Roofing Contractor, One Town Over From Main Street

We're not a national franchise dispatching a crew from an hour away — Senco is based at 1150 Main St in Tewksbury, about 5 miles and a 10-minute drive from Billerica Center, and residential roofing in Billerica is where we do some of our most consistent work. If you've seen a Senco truck parked on a Billerica street, from Nutting Lake to North Billerica, there's a good chance we're mid-tear-off or wrapping up a free roof inspection a few doors down.

Billerica's roofs skew older than a lot of homeowners realize. Town housing data puts the median Billerica home at a year built of 1974, and about 60% of the town's housing — split-entry ranches, capes, and colonials — went up between 1940 and 1979, with the heaviest run in the 1960s and 70s. That's the same housing bulge behind Billerica's population nearly quadrupling from 7,933 residents in 1940 to 31,648 by 1970, and it means a large share of Billerica's roofs are on their second or third layer of shingles, if not still running on the original. We size and price a Billerica roof accordingly — a simple gable or hip roof on a 1960s split-entry is a different job than a newer colonial with dormers and a cut-up roofline.

Billerica isn't one neighborhood — it's nine: Billerica Center, North Billerica, East Billerica, West Billerica, South Billerica, Nutting Lake, Pinehurst, River Pines, and Riverdale. North Billerica's mill-village core grew up around the old Faulkner and Talbot mill sites and its own commuter rail depot; Nutting Lake started as a trolley-car cottage colony, where a lot of the older, smaller-footprint homes near the water were built as seasonal cabins before being winterized into year-round houses — a different roofing job than a mainline suburban colonial. Wherever you are in town, there's a good chance we've already worked in your section of Billerica.

Billerica requires a building permit for re-roofing and siding work, issued out of the Building Department at 365 Boston Road (978-671-0959). Fees are based on roof size — $6 per $1,000 of valuation, with reroofing valued at $150 per square (one square = 100 sq. ft. of roof area). We pull the permit as part of every Billerica roof replacement, so it's one less thing on your plate.

Billerica sits in the same 50 psf ground-snow-load column as Tewksbury under the Massachusetts building code, and it's under the same statewide requirement for ice-barrier underlayment at the eaves — so every Billerica roof we install gets the same ice-and-water shield and sealed flashing we'd put on a roof in our own backyard, not a lighter-duty version because it's a few miles down the road.

Every Billerica 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 a Billerica roof with CertainTeed's 50-year materials & labor warranty plus Senco's own 10-year workmanship warranty, both in writing.
