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:
Gorham is one of Greater Portland’s fastest-growing towns — a mix of historic village homes, farms, and new subdivisions inland from the coast, where winters run cold and snowy.
From the classic homes around Gorham village and the university to newer subdivisions in White Rock, Little Falls, and West Gorham, the town’s housing spans every era. Newer developments and older farmhouses alike need roofs suited to a hard inland winter.
Inland Gorham misses the ocean’s moderating effect, so it sees deeper snow, longer ice-dam seasons, and more freeze-thaw cycling than the coast. A full ice & water shield along the eaves and proper attic ventilation are especially important here.
We proudly serve homeowners throughout Gorham village, Little Falls, White Rock, West Gorham, and the university area, and the surrounding Gorham area.

(207) 774-9200For most Gorham 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 Gorham home is a free, no-obligation estimate — we’ll measure, inspect, and give you a clear written price with no pressure.
Yes. Estimates are always free and there’s no obligation. Call (207) 774-9200 or request one online, and we’ll schedule a visit to your Gorham home, look at your roof, and walk you through your options and pricing.
Yes — along with full roof replacements, we handle roofing repairs and leak fixes throughout Gorham 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.
