As trusted asphalt roofers serving Melrose and the surrounding North Shore, we handle everything from minor asphalt roof repairs to full asphalt roof replacement leak protection, storm damage solutions, and long-lasting performance for Greater Boston homes.
Why Asphalt Roofs Need Attention in New England Weather
Massachusetts roofs deal with snow loads, ice dams, heavy rain, wind exposure, and freeze-thaw cycles every year.
Over time, shingles can loosen, crack, lose granules, or allow water into vulnerable roof areas.
Many roof leaks are not caused by one major failure. They often start from worn flashing issues, lifted shingles, aging sealants, or poor ventilation.
Homes in Melrose, Medford, Stoneham, Malden, Everett, Winchester, Wakefield and nearby areas often need asphalt roofing repairs before bigger structural damage begins.

Asphalt Roofing Questions Homeowners Ask
How long should I expect my new asphalt shingle roof to last in the Massachusetts climate?
A standard architectural shingle roof installed correctly should last between 25 to 30 years. Factors like proper attic ventilation (crucial for Boston winters) and ice dam prevention are key to reaching the maximum lifespan.
Is it safe or necessary to pressure wash the moss or algae off my asphalt shingle roof?
It is strongly advised against. High-pressure washing can blast off the protective surface granules of asphalt shingles, drastically reducing their lifespan. A safer method is a low-pressure chemical cleaning application designed to kill moss and algae without damage.
Are asphalt shingles energy efficient?
While not as reflective as metal roofs, some asphalt shingles are designed with reflective granules that help reduce heat absorption. Lighter-colored shingles also tend to be more energy-efficient. Proper attic ventilation and insulation can further enhance the energy efficiency of an asphalt shingle roof.
How do I know if my asphalt shingle roof needs to be replaced?
Signs of a failing asphalt shingle roof include: cracked, curled, or missing shingles; granule loss; leaks in the attic; and visible signs of deterioration. If your roof is nearing or past its expected lifespan, it's advisable to have it inspected by a professional.
What are the different types of asphalt shingles available?
The most common types are three-tab shingles and architectural shingles. Three-tab shingles are the traditional, flat shingles, while architectural shingles are thicker, dimensional shingles that offer a more premium look and enhanced durability.
