Compare 30 verified roofing contractors in Massachusetts with ratings, reviews, and contact information.
Massachusetts roofs endure heavy nor'easters, ice dams, coastal wind, and hot humid summers. Cape Cod and the Islands face additional salt spray corrosion. The state's older housing stock means many roofs sit on structures not designed for modern snow loads or insulation standards.
Massachusetts requires roofing contractors to register as Home Improvement Contractors (HIC) with the Office of Consumer Affairs. Boston and many other municipalities have additional contractor licensing requirements.
Roof replacement in Massachusetts costs $10,000 to $18,000, with Greater Boston and Cape Cod among the most expensive areas in New England.
