Old roof off, new roof on — start to finish in a single day. Clean site, no surprises, backed by 25 years of Maine workmanship.
A full roof replacement is a big job — but with the right crew and a tight plan, most homes are completely finished before sundown.
We strip the old roof down to the deck, then inspect the decking for rot, soft spots, and hidden damage before anything new goes on.
Ice & water shield goes down along the eaves and valleys, followed by premium underlayment — the waterproof layer that guards your home.
New 50-year architectural shingles and a fresh ridge vent finish the job. We clean the site and haul everything away before we leave.
No corners cut to hit the deadline. Every replacement includes the full system:
Cape Elizabeth is one of the region’s premier coastal communities — home to Two Lights, Fort Williams, and Portland Head Light — with fine homes that deserve roofing done right.
The Cape is known for larger custom and shorefront homes on wooded and oceanfront lots from Shore Road to Pond Cove and Two Lights. These are often architecturally detailed roofs where flashing, valleys, and craftsmanship matter — exactly the kind of work 25+ years of experience is meant for.
Oceanfront exposure here is real: salt air corrodes flashing and fasteners, and coastal wind works relentlessly at shingle edges. Wooded inland lots trade wind for shade and moisture, which invites moss. Both shorten roof life, and both are things we plan for.
We proudly serve homeowners throughout Two Lights, Fort Williams, Shore Road, Pond Cove, and the Cape Elizabeth Center area, and the surrounding Cape Elizabeth area.

(207) 774-9200For most Cape Elizabeth homes, a full roof replacement is a one-day job. We arrive with a full crew early, tear off the old roof, inspect and repair the decking, lay ice & water shield and underlayment, then install your new shingles and ridge vent — finishing with a complete cleanup before we leave. Larger or more complex roofs may take longer, and we’ll tell you upfront if yours will.
Every roof is priced on its size, pitch, number of layers to remove, and material choices, so there’s no single flat rate. The best way to get an accurate number for your Cape Elizabeth home is a free, no-obligation estimate — we’ll measure, inspect, and give you a clear written price with no pressure.

Yes — along with full roof replacements, we handle roofing repairs and leak fixes throughout Cape Elizabeth and Southern Maine, and we work to get the repair done quickly so water isn’t sitting in your home any longer than it has to. While we’re up there, we also evaluate the overall condition of your roof — the shingles, flashing, decking, and the spots that leak most often, like valleys, chimneys, and skylights — so we can tell you honestly whether a targeted repair will hold or whether the roof is nearing the end of its life. If it’s storm-related, we can document what we find for your insurance claim. That way you can make an informed decision instead of paying to patch a roof that really needs replacing.
We install 50-year architectural (dimensional) shingles built to handle Maine’s snow, ice, and coastal weather. David Deschaine is a CertainTeed Certified Shingle Installer, so your roof is installed to manufacturer standards and backed by strong material and workmanship warranties.
