Question 1

How do I know if I need a new roof or just a repair?

Accepted Answer

A roofing expert from Nick Tracey Roofing can help you decide if you should do a roof repair or a new roof. Things we take into consideration are the size of the repair in relation to your total roof, the condition of the substrate the roofing is attached to, and the condition of the roofing adjacent to your repair.

Question 2

What is the average lifespan of a roof?

Accepted Answer

The average asphalt shingle roof lasts between 20 to 25 years and the average metal roof can last 50 or more years.

Question 3

How long does it take to replace a roof?

Accepted Answer

Most residential roofs take just one day to complete. If you have a large or more complex roof it may take additional time.

Question 4

How much does a new roof cost?

Accepted Answer

It costs about $14,000 on average to replace your roof in NH and MA. Prices can range from $5,000 to $30,000 or more for most homes depending on size, materials, and complexity.

Question 5

What types of roofing materials do you offer?

Accepted Answer

Nick Tracey Roofing offers asphalt shingles, metal roofing, and EPDM rubber roofing.

Question 6

Can you install a new roof over my old one?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Although we do not usually recommend it, you can have up to 2 layers of roofing on your home under Massachusetts building code.

Question 7

What kind of warranty do you offer?

Accepted Answer

Nick Tracey Roofing offers a 15-year installation warranty and a Lifetime manufacturer's warranty on all roof replacements.

Question 8

Do you offer financing options or payment plans?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Nick Tracey Roofing has partnered with St. Mary's Bank to offer the best possible payment options, including home improvement loans and home equity lines of credit.

Question 9

Will my homeowners insurance cover a new roof?

Accepted Answer

Possibly. If you have storm damage you may be able to file a claim with your insurance company. They will send out an adjuster to inspect your roof and the decision will be based on your individual policy.

Question 10

How can I tell if my roof has storm damage?

Accepted Answer

If you notice shingles lifting in the wind or missing after a wind storm it may be worth having a professional take a closer look. Nick Tracey Roofing offers free post-storm roof inspections across NH and MA.

Question 11

Do you provide free estimates or roof inspections?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Nick Tracey Roofing offers free roofing estimates and free roof inspections across Bedford, Nashua, Manchester, Concord NH and Andover, Amesbury MA.

Question 12

What should I expect during the roofing process?

Accepted Answer

Expect noise, especially during tear-off and nailing. Things on your walls or shelves might rattle so take down fragile items ahead of time. The project may stir up dust in your attic space — protect stored items with a tarp if needed.

Question 13

How do you protect my landscaping and property during the job?

Accepted Answer

During the tear-off we anchor heavy duty tarps at all sides of your home. We can also direct debris away from fixed objects to prevent damage. A magnetic nail sweep is run across the full property after the job is complete.

Question 14

Are you licensed and insured?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Nick Tracey Roofing holds MA license CS-120178 and HIC#212691. We carry a $1,000,000 General Liability policy, $1,000,000 Workers Compensation policy, and $1,000,000 Umbrella policy for both NH and MA.

Question 15

What is the difference between architectural shingles and 3-tab shingles?

Accepted Answer

Architectural shingles are heavier, more durable, have a longer lifespan and enhance your home's curb appeal with a more dimensional look. Although 3-tab shingles are cheaper, they are less frequently recommended due to their shorter lifespan and lower wind resistance.

Question 16

Can you help with gutters, ventilation, or insulation?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Nick Tracey Roofing offers seamless gutter installation and leaf guards. We can also help correct ventilation issues that might be causing problems like black mold to form in your attic.

Question 17

Do you handle permits and inspections?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Nick Tracey Roofing handles all permits, fees, and inspections for you. You do not need to deal with the local building department.

Question 18

What time of year is best for replacing a roof?

Accepted Answer

The best time of year to replace your roof is when the weather is over 40 degrees. Spring through Fall is ideal but we can still replace your roof in the Winter if it is an emergency.

Question 19

How do I maintain my roof after it is installed?

Accepted Answer

The best way to maintain a new roof is to keep it free from collecting debris like branches, leaves, or pine needles. Blow your roof off twice a year and schedule a professional inspection every few years.
