Roofing for Burlington Homes

Senco Home Services is a licensed roofing company that replaces roofs for homeowners in Burlington, MA. Most of our Burlington work is full asphalt shingle replacement: tear-off, a look at the decking, new underlayment and flashing, and new CertainTeed shingles. For the full picture of how we roof and what we install, see our main roofing services page.

A Route 128 Boom Town

Burlington went from 3,250 people in 1950 to almost 22,000 in 1970, and between 1955 and 1965 it was the fastest-growing town in Massachusetts. Route 128 did that. The town's own open space plan says farmland gave way to housing subdivisions after the highway arrived.

You can still read that on the rooftops. By Census data, the median Burlington home was built in 1972, the 1950s built nearly a quarter of the houses standing today, and about 55% went up between 1950 and 1979. A smaller postwar house with one straightforward gable or hip roof is a different job from a newer house with dormers and valleys, and we price it that way.

3-Tab, Architectural & Luxury Shingles

The shingle you pick changes how the house looks and how long the roof lasts. We'll show you the options side by side and put on whichever one fits your house and your budget.

Traditional 3-Tab Shingles

Flat, light, and the most budget-friendly. A clean, even look that holds up for 20 years or more.

Architectural Shingles

Thicker and dimensional, with shadow lines a 3-tab can't give you, and a longer expected life.

Luxury Shingles

Made to look like slate or wood shake. The extra weight makes them tougher in wind, hail, and New England storms.

CertainTeed Certified Materials

Everything we install comes from CertainTeed's shingle lineup, which is what lets us back your roof with the manufacturer's warranty and ours.

Flat Sections, Additions & Garages

If your house has picked up an addition, a porch, or a garage since it was built, a flat or low-slope section over it needs a different system from the shingled main roof, and we'll tell you which one it needs when we quote. Full flat and metal systems for larger buildings are covered on our commercial roofing page.

Free Roof Inspections in Burlington

Before we quote a Burlington roof, someone goes up and looks at the shingles, flashing, decking, and attic ventilation. It's free and there's no obligation. If the roof only needs a fix, our roof repair page for Burlington covers that side of the work.

Our Tewksbury Crew

Burlington Roofing From a Tewksbury Shop

Senco is based at 1150 Main St in Tewksbury. Burlington is two towns over, past Billerica and Wilmington, and it's about 20 minutes from our door. We've completed roofing jobs in Burlington.

Some houses here are older than the boom. In the Winnmere and Havenville section, summer cottages built in the 1920s became year-round homes during the Depression, and a house that started as a cottage can hide more under the shingles than a 1950s subdivision house. We check the deck before we commit to a number.

Burlington's permit application lists roofing among the work that needs a permit before it starts. That runs through the Building Department at 25 Center Street (781-270-1615), and the town's current residential fee is $13 per $1,000 of job cost with a $50 minimum. We pull the permit on every Burlington roof replacement.

The building code puts Burlington at a 50 psf ground snow load, same as Tewksbury, and the ice-barrier rule at the eaves applies statewide. So a Burlington roof gets the same ice-and-water shield and sealed flashing we'd put on our own houses.

Tewksbury is home base. These are the towns we roof around it:

That's our real, current rating across Tewksbury, Burlington, and the surrounding towns. The first review below is from Stephen and Melissa Spinosa, Burlington homeowners, word for word as they posted it. The other two are real, unedited Google reviews from elsewhere in our service area, and we'll add more Burlington ones here as they come in.

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 Burlington

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.

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!!

Burlington roofing questions

How old are most Burlington roofs?

Older than people expect. By Census data, the median Burlington home was built in 1972, and about 55% of the town's houses were built between 1950 and 1979. The 1950s was the biggest building decade of all, when Route 128 turned farmland into subdivisions. A lot of those houses are on their second or third roof by now.

Do I need a permit to replace my roof in Burlington?

Yes. Burlington's permit application lists roofing among the work that needs a permit before it starts. Permits go through the Building Department at 25 Center Street (781-270-1615), and the town's current residential fee is $13 per $1,000 of job cost, with a $50 minimum. We pull the permit as part of every Burlington roof replacement.

What snow load does a Burlington roof have to handle?

The Massachusetts building code puts Burlington at a 50 psf ground snow load, the same as Tewksbury. Every re-roof also needs an ice barrier from the eave to at least 24 inches inside the exterior wall line, or 36 inches up the slope on roofs pitched 8:12 or steeper. That's how we install every Burlington roof.

Have you replaced roofs in Burlington before?

Yes. We've completed roofing jobs in Burlington, and siding jobs too. Our shop is in Tewksbury, about 20 minutes away, so a Burlington roof gets the same crew and the same warranty as one down the street from us.

How long does an asphalt shingle roof last in New England?

With good materials and a good install, usually 20 to 30 years. Traditional 3-tab shingles sit at the short end of that range. Architectural and luxury shingles last longer and stand up better to wind and heavy snow, and clear gutters add years to any roof.

Should I repair my roof or replace it?

It depends on how much of the roof is in trouble. Damage in one area, like a valley, a chimney, or a run of shingles after a storm, is usually a repair. If the shingles are failing across several areas or the roof is past 20 years old, a replacement usually costs less than repairing it over and over. We'll look at it for free and tell you which one you're dealing with.

Do you offer financing for a new roof?

Yes. Through our lending partner GreenSky you can get 0% financing for 12 months, with no interest and no payments, or spread it out over a 10- or 15-year plan. The credit check is a soft pull and won't affect your score.
