Roofing & Roof Replacement in Chelmsford, MA

Senco Home Services is a licensed roofing company working in Chelmsford, MA. Most of our Chelmsford work is full asphalt shingle roof replacement, and we've already put roofs on homes in town. This page is about what a Chelmsford roof job looks like. Our main roofing page covers our materials and process in full.

Roof Replacement on Chelmsford's 1950s and 60s Houses

Chelmsford built fast after the war. The town went from 8,077 people in 1940 to 31,432 by 1970, and the census shows it: the median Chelmsford home has a 1967 build year, and the 1950s and 60s together account for about two homes in five. A house that age is on its second roof at least, and if yours went on in the 1990s or earlier, it's near the end of its life. When it's time, we tear off to the decking, replace any soft or rotted boards, put down new underlayment, ice barrier, and flashing, and finish with CertainTeed shingles.

3-Tab, Architectural & Luxury Shingle Options

The shingle you choose changes how the house looks and how long the roof lasts. We'll walk you through all three and install the one that fits your home and budget.

Flat & Low-Slope Sections

Most Chelmsford roofs we replace are pitched shingle roofs, but plenty of houses have a flat or low-slope piece over a porch, an addition, or a garage. Those need a different system than the main roof. If your project includes a flat section, metal roofing, or a commercial building, see our commercial roofing page.

Replacement or a New Roof Over an Addition

A roof replacement strips the old shingles down to the decking, fixes what's underneath, and rebuilds from there. A new roof installation covers a structure that's never had shingles, like a new addition or garage, with no tear-off. You get the same CertainTeed materials, the same crew, and the same warranty either way.

Free Roof Inspections in Chelmsford

Before we quote a Chelmsford roof, we look at the shingles, flashing, decking, and attic ventilation, not only what shows from the driveway. The inspection is free. Sometimes the answer is a full replacement, sometimes it's a repair, and sometimes the roof has years left, and we'll tell you which.

Local Roofers From Tewksbury

Chelmsford Roofing From Our Tewksbury Shop

Senco is based at 1150 Main St in Tewksbury, about 9 miles from Chelmsford by way of Route 38. That's close enough to come back if something needs a look later.

Chelmsford isn't one neighborhood. North Chelmsford has its own ZIP code, Vinal Square, and its old mill buildings. Chelmsford Center has the common and the oldest part of town. South, East, and West Chelmsford and the Westlands fill in the rest, much of it built in that 1950s and 60s wave. A pre-1940 house and a 1960s ranch are different roofs, and we price them that way.

Chelmsford handles re-roofing under its Residential Short building permit, issued by the Building Department at 50 Billerica Road (978-250-5225). The office stays open until 7 PM on Tuesdays. We pull the permit on every Chelmsford roof we replace, so it isn't something you have to chase.

Homes inside the Chelmsford Center Historic District have one more step. The Historic District Commission reviews construction changes there, so we check with the commission before we schedule a roof in the district and build any application into the timeline.

Chelmsford sits in the same 50 psf ground snow load column as Tewksbury under the state building code, and the statewide ice barrier rule applies at every eave. Every Chelmsford roof we install gets the same ice and water shield and sealed flashing we'd put on a roof in our own town.
