Andover’s housing stock spans nearly four centuries — from pre-1939 colonials near the town center and Ballardvale to 1970s and 1980s homes throughout South Andover. Many of these roofs are on their second or third layer, with hidden sheathing damage from decades of freeze-thaw cycles and ice dam buildup that’s only visible once everything comes off.

Many Andover homes built between the 1950s and 1990s — the raised ranches off River Road, the split-levels near West Elementary, and the garrison colonials throughout Shawsheen Heights — are hitting the point where their original or second roof needs full replacement. Whether it’s a compact cape or a 3,000-square-foot colonial, every replacement follows the same thorough process.
Most residential roof replacements in Andover range from $10,000 to $30,000 depending on roof size, pitch, shingle choice, and how much deck repair is needed after tearoff. Andover has larger colonials and historic homes that tend toward the higher end — steep pitches, multiple dormers, skylights, and complex rooflines all add labor. We provide a detailed written estimate after an on-site inspection — no ballpark numbers over the phone.
Most single-family homes take 1–2 days of active roofing work. Larger homes in areas like West Andover or homes with steep pitches, multiple roof planes, or significant deck repair may take longer. Weather delays can add time during spring and fall. Your project manager provides a clear timeline before work begins and keeps you updated daily.
CertainTeed Landmark and Landmark Pro — architectural shingles with strong wind ratings, algae resistance, and a dimensional profile that works well on Andover’s mix of colonials, capes, ranches, and split-levels. As a CertainTeed Master Craftsman contractor, we install to manufacturer specifications. For homeowners who want a heavier, more textured look — common on some of the larger homes near Phillips Academy — we also offer Grand Manor and Presidential Shake.
Andover’s older colonials — especially the ones in Shawsheen Village and along Main Street with steep pitches and complex rooflines — are prone to ice dams from trapped attic heat. If the old roof had ice dam damage, the deck underneath often has rot at the eaves that’s been hidden under layers. We address both the damage and the cause: replacing rotted sheathing, installing full ice & water shield, and correcting ventilation so the new roof doesn’t develop the same problems.
Yes. The Town of Andover Building Division requires a building permit for roof replacement, issued through their ViewPermit online portal. We handle all permit applications, schedule inspections, and ensure the job meets current Massachusetts Building Code 780 CMR. Homes in the Ballardvale Historic District may have additional review requirements — we handle that coordination as well.
It depends on the cause. Storm damage and sudden events are typically covered; normal wear and aging usually aren’t. If your roof has storm damage, we document everything with detailed photos and a written scope that supports your insurance claim. We work with adjusters when needed to make sure the full extent of damage is covered.
