Roofing Contractor in Taunton, MA

Taunton is a short run down Route 138 from our shop — the Bristol County seat, and one of the closest cities to us. Close enough that a leak reported in the morning gets looked at the same day, and close enough that we come back if anything needs it.

Roofs in Taunton

A third of Taunton's homes predate 1940

Taunton's median home dates to 1965, but that figure hides the real story: 34.8% of the city's homes — 8,757 of them — went up before 1940. The stock is split between pre-war houses and late-century subdivisions, and the two fail in different ways.

  • Pre-war houses already on their third or fourth covering✓
  • Plank decking that does not always take modern nails cleanly✓
  • Old flashing buried under later layers at chimneys and valleys✓
  • Later stock off Route 140 still on a first or second roof✓
  • Ventilation worth balancing properly at replacement✓
  • Mansard and multi-pitch rooflines near the historic districts✓

What we see on Taunton roofs

Two housing stocks,
two different jobs

A pre-war house near the Green and a 1980s colonial off Route 140 are not the same job. One is mostly flashing and detail work; the other is a clean tear-off. Quoting them at the same rate per square is how homeowners end up surprised.

  • Tear-off and a proper look at the deck before anything new goes down✓
  • Soft or rotted boards replaced, not shingled over✓
  • Ice and water shield at eaves and valleys✓
  • Chimney, valley and sidewall flashing renewed rather than reused✓
  • Old roof hauled away, and a magnet pass for nails before we leave✓
  • Most roofs finished in a single day✓

Permits in Taunton

Taunton runs its permits online,
and we pull them

Roof replacement in Taunton needs a building permit from the City of Taunton Building Department, filed through the city’s PermitEyes system. We pull it under Construction Supervisor License CS-118483 and HIC registration #204689. You should not be filing paperwork for your own roof, and a contractor who asks you to is telling you something.

Taunton roofing questions

What Taunton homeowners ask us

How close are you to Taunton?
Our shop is at 495 Turnpike St in South Easton, a short run up Route 138 from the city. Taunton is one of the closest cities to us, which is why a leak reported in the morning can usually be looked at the same day.
Do I need a permit to re-roof in Taunton?
Yes. Roof replacement requires a building permit from the City of Taunton Building Department, filed through the city’s PermitEyes system. We pull it as part of the job.
Is Taunton a town or a city?
A city. Taunton was incorporated as a town in 1639 and became a city in 1864, and it has been the shire town — the county seat — of Bristol County since 1685.
How old is the typical Taunton roof?
Older than most of the area. The median Taunton home dates to 1965, and about 34.8% of the city’s housing was built before 1940, so a great many roofs here are on their third or fourth covering.
My house is near the Green and the roof is complicated. Do you do those?
Yes. The districts around Church Green and Taunton Green have mansards, turrets and multi-pitch Victorian rooflines where most of the work is flashing and detail rather than field shingle. They take longer, and we quote them that way rather than pretending otherwise.
Can you come out quickly for a leak?
Yes. Emergency response and tarping are part of what we do, and Taunton is close enough that same-day is usually realistic.
