Full-Service Roofing | Portsmouth, RI
Portsmouth Roofing & Maintenance handles every roofing job from a single-shingle repair to a full commercial re-roof. Here's what we do in Portsmouth.
Roof Replacement
Full roof replacement starts with a complete tear-off down to the deck. We inspect every board for rot or soft spots. In Portsmouth, we find decking damage on about 30% of tear-offs. Damaged sections get replaced with CDX plywood before anything else goes on. Then we build up: ice and water shield in valleys and at eaves, synthetic underlayment across the full deck, new drip edge on every edge, starter strip, field shingles, hip and ridge caps, and ridge vent. Dumpster, permits, and cleanup included.

Most roof leaks in Portsmouth come from one of five places: pipe boots, step flashing at walls, valley flashing, damaged shingles, or failed seals around skylights. We find the actual source. Not just the drip point in your ceiling. And fix it right. Water travels along rafters and sheathing before it drips, so the leak location and the damage location are often 10 feet apart.

After every major storm in Portsmouth, out-of-town companies flood the area offering free inspections. They're not all bad, but many are. We're local, we're licensed, and we'll be here to honor the warranty. Storm chasers won't be.

We install new roofs on new homes, additions, detached garages, carports, and covered patios. Material options include asphalt architectural shingles, metal standing seam, metal corrugated, and flat membrane systems. We help you choose based on your budget, aesthetic preference, and the specific demands of your Portsmouth climate.

Metal roofing reflects solar heat instead of absorbing it. In Rhode Island, that means 15-25% lower cooling costs compared to dark asphalt shingles. The higher upfront cost pays for itself over the life of the roof. And the life of a metal roof is twice or three times longer than shingles.

We install every major shingle brand: GAF Timberline HDZ, Owens Corning Duration, CertainTeed Landmark, Atlas Pinnacle, Tamko Heritage, Malarkey Vista, and IKO Cambridge. Each brand has different warranty tiers, wind ratings, and price points. We help you compare without pushing one brand over another.

EPDM (rubber roofing) has a 50+ year track record as a flat roofing membrane. We install fully adhered EPDM with taped or glued seams over polyiso insulation. It's a great option for Portsmouth building owners who want proven performance at a lower cost than TPO or PVC.

We install Carlisle SynTec and Firestone TPO membrane systems in 60-mil and 80-mil thickness over minimum R-25 polyiso insulation (more in climate zones requiring it). Seams hot-air welded at 900°F+ and tested with a seam probe. Fully adhered systems for wind uplift zones per FM I-90 or I-120. Mechanically attached for re-roofs over existing insulation. NRCA member, trained per manufacturer specifications.

Half-round copper gutters with round downspouts are the premium install for historic and high-end homes in Portsmouth. We solder every joint on-site with 50/50 tin-lead solder. Copper weathers to a green patina in Rhode Island's climate over 5-7 years. For modern aluminum installs, we use Spectra Metals .027 gauge seamless stock in 25+ color options with Raytec hidden hangers rated to 25 lbs per linear foot of combined debris and ice load.

Commercial and flat roof inspections include infrared moisture scanning with Flir E8 thermal cameras. Trapped moisture in the insulation layer shows as temperature differentials on the thermal image. No need to cut core samples everywhere. We identify wet zones, then core sample the suspect areas to confirm. This approach gives you a precise repair scope at a fraction of the cost of exploratory tear-offs.

We don't charge extra for emergency tarp jobs. The tarping cost is rolled into the permanent repair price. If you need us at midnight during a storm, the price is the same as a Tuesday afternoon.

Replacing an old leaking skylight is often cheaper than trying to repair it. New units from VELUX have Low-E laminated glass, argon fill, and No Leak guarantees when installed with the manufacturer's flashing system. Our Portsmouth crews replace skylights in a single day.
