A good roof is vital to the health of your Boston home. A reliable roof protects you and your family from wind, rain, and snow and keeps pests out of your house. It also helps prevent water damage and indoor mold growth. When you repair or replace your roof, you improve your energy efficiency and lower your bills by reducing the energy required to heat and cool your house. On top of that, a well-maintained roof improves your home's curb appeal. Luckily, All Star Home is here to help. Our business was founded in 2022 with a mission of helping local homeowners.

Types of roofing materials we offer

Asphalt Shingle

Asphalt is the most popular roofing material in America. It's relatively inexpensive and easy to install. It's also very effective at keeping out moisture. The downside is that an asphalt roof may be more vulnerable to wind and sun damage than roofs of other materials.

Metal

Many homeowners like metal roofs because they are both lightweight and durable, as well as very wind- and fire-resistant. These roofs are expensive up front but can save you money on your energy bills in the long run. They're effective at keeping your home warm in the winter and cool in the summer.

Slate

Slate is a natural material that is very sustainable and can last a long time with minimal maintenance. However, these benefits mean that slate costs more up front, the infrequent repairs may be more expensive, and your warranty options may be more limited. We recommend speaking with one of our All Star roofing experts to find out more.

Clay

Many homeowners like clay roofs because they are excellent at reflecting solar heat in the summer. They're also very resistant to fire, water, and pests. Clay has a long lifespan but can be very expensive to install, partly due to its heavy weight. We recommend speaking with one of our All Star roofing experts to learn whether a clay roof is a good fit for your home.

Cedar

Many people like cedar or other wood roofs for their timeless look. It's also a very environmentally conscious and long-lasting option. One downside is that wood can require more maintenance than other materials. Also, while it can be treated to resist fire, it's not inherently fire-resistant like some other materials.

Synthetic

Synthetic roofs can be designed to look like other materials (such as slate or cedar) and last a very long time. Synthetic tiles are very durable while still being lightweight. One thing that turns homeowners away from synthetic roofs is the cost. If this is an option you're interested in, one of our All Star roofing pros can provide a free price estimate.

signs you may need a new roof

Age of the Roof

Roofs generally last between 15 and 30 years. Your roof's lifespan will depend on its material, how well it's been maintained, and the weather in your part of Massachusetts. If your roof is nearing or within this age range, we suggest having one of our All Star roofing experts perform an inspection and tell you whether we recommend a full replacement.

Shingle Edges are Curled

If your shingles are starting to curl or peel, it might be time to think about replacing your roof. Some shingle damage is normal, but if there's excessive peeling or large bald spots, it could be a sign that your roof is near the end of its lifespan. A local Boston roofing expert can inspect your roof and tell you if the damage is typical for your area or if your roof has simply worn out.

Cracked Shingles

Like curling, cracking is sometimes a normal part of shingle wear and tear. As with curling, the same rule applies: if you notice severe cracking or large areas that are missing shingles, it's time to consult a roofing professional.

Saggy or Droopy Spots

Roofs generally sag for one of two reasons: not enough support underneath or too much weight on top. Over time, your roof's internal supports can sustain damage from humidity, pests, or water or can simply wear out naturally. Things like snow and ice can exacerbate damage by sitting on top of your roof and weighing down on these internal supports. Either or both of these issues can lead to a droopy or saggy roof. Often, replacing your roof is the best way to ensure all supports are in the best shape possible.

Moss

Due to the area's heavy rainfall, you might have frequent problems with mold, mildew, and moss growing on your roof. Moss is the most visible of the three, but mold and mildew can pose serious health risks if they get inside your house. Frequent plant and mold growth might signal that your roof needs to be replaced.

Visible Leaks

One obvious sign of roof issues is visible leaking, especially in your attic or near where your walls meet the ceiling. Some leaks might be easily fixable, but an inspection is always a smart idea. This can help identify whether the leak is a sign of a larger problem. Our local experts are trained to identify and repair the source of leaks and are eager to help you keep your home safe and dry.
