Roofing & Roof Replacement in Dracut, MA

Senco Home Services is a licensed roofing company working in Dracut, MA and the towns around it. Our shop is in Tewksbury, about 6 miles away by Route 38, and Dracut roofs are work we've already done. We do full asphalt shingle roof replacements, plus new roofs on additions and garages. For our full process and materials, see our main roofing services page.

Dracut's 1980s Roofs Are Coming Due

Dracut's building boom came later than Billerica's or Lowell's. Census data puts the median Dracut home at a year built of 1975, and the 1980s were the single biggest decade, with about one in five of the town's homes. Roughly half of Dracut's housing went up between 1960 and 1989. A roof put on in 1985 is more than 40 years old, so a lot of these houses are on a first replacement that's wearing thin, or still on a roof nobody has replaced. When it's time, we do the whole job: tear-off, a check of the decking, new underlayment, ice barrier, and flashing, then CertainTeed shingles.

Older Dracut Homes Get a Closer Look

Not every Dracut house is from the 1980s. About 27% of the town's homes were built before 1960, and about one in nine before 1940. On a house that age we expect to find something under the shingles, like extra layers, soft boards, or old plank decking. We get up on the roof before we quote, so we know what we're likely to find before the old shingles come off.

3-Tab, Architectural & Luxury Shingle Options

The shingle you pick changes the look of the house and how long the roof lasts. We'll walk you through the options and install the one that fits your home and budget.

Flat Sections & Metal

Most Dracut roofs we see are pitched asphalt shingle jobs. Flat and low-slope sections over a porch, garage, or addition need a different system, and so does a metal roof. That work is on our commercial roofing page.

Free Roof Inspections in Dracut

Before we quote a Dracut roof, we check the shingles, flashing, decking, and attic ventilation, not only what shows from the driveway. The inspection is free, whether you end up needing a full replacement, a roof repair, or nothing yet.

Local Roofing, Out of Tewksbury

Dracut Roofing From Our Tewksbury Shop

Senco is at 1150 Main St in Tewksbury, about 6 miles and 12 minutes from Dracut by Route 38, and we've already put roofs on Dracut homes. Dracut Center, Navy Yard, Kenwood, or up near the Pelham line, it's the same crew from the same shop.

A full re-roof needs a building permit in Massachusetts. In Dracut that's the Building Department at Town Hall, 62 Arlington Street (978-454-0603), and applications go through the town's online permit portal. The fee is $12 per $1,000 of construction cost with a $50 minimum, and the town doubles it if work starts before the permit is issued. We pull the permit before the first shingle comes off, so that never comes up.

Dracut is in the same 50 psf ground-snow-load column as Tewksbury under the Massachusetts building code, and the state's ice-barrier rule applies here like everywhere else. Every Dracut roof we install gets ice-and-water shield at the eaves and sealed flashing at every wall and chimney.

With the Merrimack on the town's southern edge and Beaver Brook running through the middle, Dracut has plenty of water to manage. Keeping it out of a house starts at the roof: flashing, drip edge, and gutters that carry it away from the foundation. Ask about seamless gutters in Dracut while we're up there.
