Roof Replacement in Wilmington, MA

Wilmington's houses came in two big waves. About half the town's homes were built before 1980, with the heaviest post-war run in the 1950s, when a lot of the capes and ranches went up. Then the 1990s added more homes than any other decade, close to one in five, a lot of them two-story colonials. The census puts the median Wilmington home at a year built of 1979.

So the roofs we look at here tend to fall into two groups. The 1950s homes have likely been re-roofed at least once, and sometimes the newest layer went on over an old one. A 1990s house still on its original shingles has a roof 26 to 36 years old, past the 20 to 30 years asphalt usually lasts here. Either way the job is the same: tear-off down to the decking, repairs to anything soft underneath, new underlayment, ice barrier and flashing, then CertainTeed shingles.

3-Tab, Architectural & Luxury Shingle Options

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

Flat Sections, Metal & Additions

Most Wilmington roofs we do are pitched asphalt shingle roofs. A flat or low-slope section over a porch, garage, or addition needs a different system, and so does a metal roof. If your project has one of those, our commercial roofing page covers the flat and metal work we do.

Free Roof Inspections in Wilmington

Before we quote a Wilmington roof, we get up on it. We check shingles, flashing, decking, and attic ventilation, more than what you can see from the street. The inspection is free, and you'll know whether you need a replacement, a repair, or nothing yet.

Local Roofers, One Town Over

Wilmington's Roofing Company, From the Next Town Over

Senco is based at 1150 Main St in Tewksbury, and Tewksbury shares a border with Wilmington. Town center to town center it's about six miles, roughly a ten-minute drive. Roofing is one of the trades we've completed jobs for in Wilmington, so we know the town's housing and its permit office.

Wilmington is mostly single-family houses, about 85% of its homes by census count, so almost every roof we quote here is a whole-house job on one family's home. We size and price it to the house in front of us: a 1950s cape with a simple gable roof is a different job from a 1990s colonial with dormers, a farmer's porch, and a lot of valleys.

Re-roofing in Wilmington needs a building permit from the Building Inspector's office at Town Hall, 146 Middlesex Avenue, Room 202 (978-658-4531). The residential fee is based on the value of the work: $50 for the first $1,000 and $10 for each $1,000 after that. Wilmington also wants an asbestos document in every permit package and a sign-off from the Treasurer that property taxes are current. We pull the permit and assemble the package as part of every Wilmington roof.

The state code's snow-load table puts Wilmington at 50 psf, the same column as Tewksbury, and the statewide ice-barrier rule applies here too. So a Wilmington roof gets the same ice-and-water shield and sealed flashing we'd put on a roof in our own town.
