Interior Maine’s 100+ inch snow accumulation creates load risk on low-pitch sections. We verify framing capacity before re-roofing any building with significant low-pitch area.
02
Cedar shake roofs failing prematurely
When cedar shakes are installed without Cedar Breather underlayment (which most NE installers skip), they rot from below in 8–15 years. We retrofit with proper underlayment when re-roofing.
03
Salt-air corrosion on coastal flashing
Aluminum and galvanized flashing fail in 8–12 years in Maine coastal salt-air. Copper or stainless are the only correct choice for any home within 5 miles of the water.
Long winters, deep snow, severe freeze-thaw. Coastal Maine adds salt-air corrosion to the mix. Interior Maine adds extreme cold (sub-zero F for weeks at a time in the western mountains). The roof spec we use in Portland differs from what we’d install in Rangeley.
Coastal saltbox cottages (Camden, Boothbay, Kennebunk). Federal-style brick in Portland. Farmhouse and converted barn in the interior (Bethel, Fryeburg, Western foothills). Down-East coastal capes throughout. Mid-century lakefront camps converted to year-round homes.

Roofing for Maine — engineered for the climate and the architecture.
Maine roofs face the longest winters in NE — 100+ inches of snow in interior counties, 70+ inches on the coast, freeze-thaw cycles that last from October through May. The traditional materials work for a reason: cedar shake on coastal saltboxes, standing-seam metal on interior farmhouses. We install both, and we install asphalt for the modern Maine home that wants 30 years of low-maintenance service.

Long winters, deep snow, severe freeze-thaw. Coastal Maine adds salt-air corrosion to the mix. Interior Maine adds extreme cold (sub-zero F for weeks at a time in the western mountains). The roof spec we use in Portland differs from what we’d install in Rangeley.
Coastal saltbox cottages (Camden, Boothbay, Kennebunk). Federal-style brick in Portland. Farmhouse and converted barn in the interior (Bethel, Fryeburg, Western foothills). Down-East coastal capes throughout. Mid-century lakefront camps converted to year-round homes.
What we see here
Three roofing patterns specific to Maine.
01
Snow load on low-pitch additions and dormers
Interior Maine’s 100+ inch snow accumulation creates load risk on low-pitch sections. We verify framing capacity before re-roofing any building with significant low-pitch area.
02
Cedar shake roofs failing prematurely
When cedar shakes are installed without Cedar Breather underlayment (which most NE installers skip), they rot from below in 8–15 years. We retrofit with proper underlayment when re-roofing.

Roofing for Maine — engineered for the climate and the architecture.
Maine roofs face the longest winters in NE — 100+ inches of snow in interior counties, 70+ inches on the coast, freeze-thaw cycles that last from October through May. The traditional materials work for a reason: cedar shake on coastal saltboxes, standing-seam metal on interior farmhouses. We install both, and we install asphalt for the modern Maine home that wants 30 years of low-maintenance service.

Maine roofs face the longest winters in NE — 100+ inches of snow in interior counties, 70+ inches on the coast, freeze-thaw cycles that last from October through May. The traditional materials work for a reason: cedar shake on coastal saltboxes, standing-seam metal on interior farmhouses. We install both, and we install asphalt for the modern Maine home that wants 30 years of low-maintenance service.
Long winters, deep snow, severe freeze-thaw. Coastal Maine adds salt-air corrosion to the mix. Interior Maine adds extreme cold (sub-zero F for weeks at a time in the western mountains). The roof spec we use in Portland differs from what we’d install in Rangeley.
Coastal saltbox cottages (Camden, Boothbay, Kennebunk). Federal-style brick in Portland. Farmhouse and converted barn in the interior (Bethel, Fryeburg, Western foothills). Down-East coastal capes throughout. Mid-century lakefront camps converted to year-round homes.
What we see here
Three roofing patterns specific to Maine.
01
Snow load on low-pitch additions and dormers
Interior Maine’s 100+ inch snow accumulation creates load risk on low-pitch sections. We verify framing capacity before re-roofing any building with significant low-pitch area.
02
Cedar shake roofs failing prematurely
When cedar shakes are installed without Cedar Breather underlayment (which most NE installers skip), they rot from below in 8–15 years. We retrofit with proper underlayment when re-roofing.
03
Salt-air corrosion on coastal flashing

Aluminum and galvanized flashing fail in 8–12 years in Maine coastal salt-air. Copper or stainless are the only correct choice for any home within 5 miles of the water.
Roofing for Maine — engineered for the climate and the architecture.
Maine roofs face the longest winters in NE — 100+ inches of snow in interior counties, 70+ inches on the coast, freeze-thaw cycles that last from October through May. The traditional materials work for a reason: cedar shake on coastal saltboxes, standing-seam metal on interior farmhouses. We install both, and we install asphalt for the modern Maine home that wants 30 years of low-maintenance service.
Long winters, deep snow, severe freeze-thaw. Coastal Maine adds salt-air corrosion to the mix. Interior Maine adds extreme cold (sub-zero F for weeks at a time in the western mountains). The roof spec we use in Portland differs from what we’d install in Rangeley.
Coastal saltbox cottages (Camden, Boothbay, Kennebunk). Federal-style brick in Portland. Farmhouse and converted barn in the interior (Bethel, Fryeburg, Western foothills). Down-East coastal capes throughout. Mid-century lakefront camps converted to year-round homes.
What we see here
Three roofing patterns specific to Maine.
01
Snow load on low-pitch additions and dormers
Interior Maine’s 100+ inch snow accumulation creates load risk on low-pitch sections. We verify framing capacity before re-roofing any building with significant low-pitch area.
02
Cedar shake roofs failing prematurely
When cedar shakes are installed without Cedar Breather underlayment (which most NE installers skip), they rot from below in 8–15 years. We retrofit with proper underlayment when re-roofing.

Long winters, deep snow, severe freeze-thaw. Coastal Maine adds salt-air corrosion to the mix. Interior Maine adds extreme cold (sub-zero F for weeks at a time in the western mountains). The roof spec we use in Portland differs from what we’d install in Rangeley.
Coastal saltbox cottages (Camden, Boothbay, Kennebunk). Federal-style brick in Portland. Farmhouse and converted barn in the interior (Bethel, Fryeburg, Western foothills). Down-East coastal capes throughout. Mid-century lakefront camps converted to year-round homes.
What we see here
Three roofing patterns specific to Maine.
01
Snow load on low-pitch additions and dormers
Interior Maine’s 100+ inch snow accumulation creates load risk on low-pitch sections. We verify framing capacity before re-roofing any building with significant low-pitch area.
02
Cedar shake roofs failing prematurely
When cedar shakes are installed without Cedar Breather underlayment (which most NE installers skip), they rot from below in 8–15 years. We retrofit with proper underlayment when re-roofing.
03
Salt-air corrosion on coastal flashing
Aluminum and galvanized flashing fail in 8–12 years in Maine coastal salt-air. Copper or stainless are the only correct choice for any home within 5 miles of the water.

Roofing for Maine — engineered for the climate and the architecture.
Maine roofs face the longest winters in NE — 100+ inches of snow in interior counties, 70+ inches on the coast, freeze-thaw cycles that last from October through May.

Aluminum and galvanized flashing fail in 8–12 years in Maine coastal salt-air. Copper or stainless are the only correct choice for any home within 5 miles of the water.
Roofing for Maine — engineered for the climate and the architecture.
Maine roofs face the longest winters in NE — 100+ inches of snow in interior counties, 70+ inches on the coast, freeze-thaw cycles that last from October through May. The traditional materials work for a reason: cedar shake on coastal saltboxes, standing-seam metal on interior farmhouses. We install both, and we install asphalt for the modern Maine home that wants 30 years of low-maintenance service.
Long winters, deep snow, severe freeze-thaw. Coastal Maine adds salt-air corrosion to the mix. Interior Maine adds extreme cold (sub-zero F for weeks at a time in the western mountains). The roof spec we use in Portland differs from what we’d install in Rangeley.
Coastal saltbox cottages (Camden, Boothbay, Kennebunk). Federal-style brick in Portland. Farmhouse and converted barn in the interior (Bethel, Fryeburg, Western foothills). Down-East coastal capes throughout. Mid-century lakefront camps converted to year-round homes.
What we see here
Three roofing patterns specific to Maine.
01
Snow load on low-pitch additions and dormers
Interior Maine’s 100+ inch snow accumulation creates load risk on low-pitch sections. We verify framing capacity before re-roofing any building with significant low-pitch area.
02
Cedar shake roofs failing prematurely
When cedar shakes are installed without Cedar Breather underlayment (which most NE installers skip), they rot from below in 8–15 years. We retrofit with proper underlayment when re-roofing.

Aluminum and galvanized flashing fail in 8–12 years in Maine coastal salt-air. Copper or stainless are the only correct choice for any home within 5 miles of the water.
Interior Maine’s 100+ inch snow accumulation creates load risk on low-pitch sections. We verify framing capacity before re-roofing any building with significant low-pitch area.
02
Cedar shake roofs failing prematurely
When cedar shakes are installed without Cedar Breather underlayment (which most NE installers skip), they rot from below in 8–15 years. We retrofit with proper underlayment when re-roofing.

Roofing for Maine — engineered for the climate and the architecture.
Maine roofs face the longest winters in NE — 100+ inches of snow in interior counties, 70+ inches on the coast, freeze-thaw cycles that last from October through May. The traditional materials work for a reason: cedar shake on coastal saltboxes, standing-seam metal on interior farmhouses. We install both, and we install asphalt for the modern Maine home that wants 30 years of low-maintenance service.

Interior Maine’s 100+ inch snow accumulation creates load risk on low-pitch sections. We verify framing capacity before re-roofing any building with significant low-pitch area.
02
Cedar shake roofs failing prematurely
When cedar shakes are installed without Cedar Breather underlayment (which most NE installers skip), they rot from below in 8–15 years. We retrofit with proper underlayment when re-roofing.
03
Salt-air corrosion on coastal flashing
Aluminum and galvanized flashing fail in 8–12 years in Maine coastal salt-air. Copper or stainless are the only correct choice for any home within 5 miles of the water.
Roofing for Maine — engineered for the climate and the architecture.
Maine roofs face the longest winters in NE — 100+ inches of snow in interior counties, 70+ inches on the coast, freeze-thaw cycles that last from October through May. The traditional materials work for a reason: cedar shake on coastal saltboxes, standing-seam metal on interior farmhouses. We install both, and we install asphalt for the modern Maine home that wants 30 years of low-maintenance service.
Long winters, deep snow, severe freeze-thaw. Coastal Maine adds salt-air corrosion to the mix. Interior Maine adds extreme cold (sub-zero F for weeks at a time in the western mountains). The roof spec we use in Portland differs from what we’d install in Rangeley.
Coastal saltbox cottages (Camden, Boothbay, Kennebunk). Federal-style brick in Portland. Farmhouse and converted barn in the interior (Bethel, Fryeburg, Western foothills). Down-East coastal capes throughout. Mid-century lakefront camps converted to year-round homes.

Long winters, deep snow, severe freeze-thaw. Coastal Maine adds salt-air corrosion to the mix. Interior Maine adds extreme cold (sub-zero F for weeks at a time in the western mountains). The roof spec we use in Portland differs from what we’d install in Rangeley.
Coastal saltbox cottages (Camden, Boothbay, Kennebunk). Federal-style brick in Portland. Farmhouse and converted barn in the interior (Bethel, Fryeburg, Western foothills). Down-East coastal capes throughout. Mid-century lakefront camps converted to year-round homes.
What we see here
Three roofing patterns specific to Maine.
01
Snow load on low-pitch additions and dormers
Interior Maine’s 100+ inch snow accumulation creates load risk on low-pitch sections. We verify framing capacity before re-roofing any building with significant low-pitch area.
02
Cedar shake roofs failing prematurely
When cedar shakes are installed without Cedar Breather underlayment (which most NE installers skip), they rot from below in 8–15 years. We retrofit with proper underlayment when re-roofing.
03
Salt-air corrosion on coastal flashing
Aluminum and galvanized flashing fail in 8–12 years in Maine coastal salt-air. Copper or stainless are the only correct choice for any home within 5 miles of the water.

Salt-air corrosion on coastal flashing
Aluminum and galvanized flashing fail in 8–12 years in Maine coastal salt-air. Copper or stainless are the only correct choice for any home within 5 miles of the water.
Interior Maine’s 100+ inch snow accumulation creates load risk on low-pitch sections. We verify framing capacity before re-roofing any building with significant low-pitch area.

Roofing for Maine — engineered for the climate and the architecture.
Maine roofs face the longest winters in NE — 100+ inches of snow in interior counties, 70+ inches on the coast, freeze-thaw cycles that last from October through May. The traditional materials work for a reason: cedar shake on coastal saltboxes, standing-seam metal on interior farmhouses. We install both, and we install asphalt for the modern Maine home that wants 30 years of low-maintenance service.

Aluminum and galvanized flashing fail in 8–12 years in Maine coastal salt-air. Copper or stainless are the only correct choice for any home within 5 miles of the water.
Long winters, deep snow, severe freeze-thaw. Coastal Maine adds salt-air corrosion to the mix. Interior Maine adds extreme cold (sub-zero F for weeks at a time in the western mountains). The roof spec we use in Portland differs from what we’d install in Rangeley.
Coastal saltbox cottages (Camden, Boothbay, Kennebunk). Federal-style brick in Portland. Farmhouse and converted barn in the interior (Bethel, Fryeburg, Western foothills). Down-East coastal capes throughout. Mid-century lakefront camps converted to year-round homes.
What we see here
Three roofing patterns specific to Maine.
01
Snow load on low-pitch additions and dormers
Interior Maine’s 100+ inch snow accumulation creates load risk on low-pitch sections. We verify framing capacity before re-roofing any building with significant low-pitch area.
02
Cedar shake roofs failing prematurely
When cedar shakes are installed without Cedar Breather underlayment (which most NE installers skip), they rot from below in 8–15 years. We retrofit with proper underlayment when re-roofing.

Roofing for Maine — engineered for the climate and the architecture.
Maine roofs face the longest winters in NE — 100+ inches of snow in interior counties, 70+ inches on the coast, freeze-thaw cycles that last from October through May. The traditional materials work for a reason: cedar shake on coastal saltboxes, standing-seam metal on interior farmhouses. We install both, and we install asphalt for the modern Maine home that wants 30 years of low-maintenance service.

Roofing for Maine — engineered for the climate and the architecture.
Maine roofs face the longest winters in NE — 100+ inches of snow in interior counties, 70+ inches on the coast, freeze-thaw cycles that last from October through May. The traditional materials work for a reason: cedar shake on coastal saltboxes, standing-seam metal on interior farmhouses. We install both, and we install asphalt for the modern Maine home that wants 30 years of low-maintenance service.

Maine roofs face the longest winters in NE — 100+ inches of snow in interior counties, 70+ inches on the coast, freeze-thaw cycles that last from October through May. The traditional materials work for a reason: cedar shake on coastal saltboxes, standing-seam metal on interior farmhouses. We install both, and we install asphalt for the modern Maine home that wants 30 years of low-maintenance service.
Long winters, deep snow, severe freeze-thaw. Coastal Maine adds salt-air corrosion to the mix. Interior Maine adds extreme cold (sub-zero F for weeks at a time in the western mountains). The roof spec we use in Portland differs from what we’d install in Rangeley.
Coastal saltbox cottages (Camden, Boothbay, Kennebunk). Federal-style brick in Portland. Farmhouse and converted barn in the interior (Bethel, Fryeburg, Western foothills). Down-East coastal capes throughout. Mid-century lakefront camps converted to year-round homes.
What we see here
Three roofing patterns specific to Maine.
01
Snow load on low-pitch additions and dormers
Interior Maine’s 100+ inch snow accumulation creates load risk on low-pitch sections. We verify framing capacity before re-roofing any building with significant low-pitch area.
02
Cedar shake roofs failing prematurely
When cedar shakes are installed without Cedar Breather underlayment (which most NE installers skip), they rot from below in 8–15 years. We retrofit with proper underlayment when re-roofing.

What we see here
Three roofing patterns specific to Maine.
01
Snow load on low-pitch additions and dormers
Interior Maine’s 100+ inch snow accumulation creates load risk on low-pitch sections. We verify framing capacity before re-roofing any building with significant low-pitch area.
02
Cedar shake roofs failing prematurely
When cedar shakes are installed without Cedar Breather underlayment (which most NE installers skip), they rot from below in 8–15 years. We retrofit with proper underlayment when re-roofing.
03
Salt-air corrosion on coastal flashing
Aluminum and galvanized flashing fail in 8–12 years in Maine coastal salt-air. Copper or stainless are the only correct choice for any home within 5 miles of the water.

Roofing for Maine — engineered for the climate and the architecture.
Maine roofs face the longest winters in NE — 100+ inches of snow in interior counties, 70+ inches on the coast, freeze-thaw cycles that last from October through May. The traditional materials work for a reason: cedar shake on coastal saltboxes, standing-seam metal on interior farmhouses. We install both, and we install asphalt for the modern Maine home that wants 30 years of low-maintenance service.

Aluminum and galvanized flashing fail in 8–12 years in Maine coastal salt-air. Copper or stainless are the only correct choice for any home within 5 miles of the water.
Roofing for Maine — engineered for the climate and the architecture.
Maine roofs face the longest winters in NE — 100+ inches of snow in interior counties, 70+ inches on the coast, freeze-thaw cycles that last from October through May. The traditional materials work for a reason: cedar shake on coastal saltboxes, standing-seam metal on interior farmhouses. We install both, and we install asphalt for the modern Maine home that wants 30 years of low-maintenance service.
Long winters, deep snow, severe freeze-thaw. Coastal Maine adds salt-air corrosion to the mix. Interior Maine adds extreme cold (sub-zero F for weeks at a time in the western mountains). The roof spec we use in Portland differs from what we’d install in Rangeley.
Coastal saltbox cottages (Camden, Boothbay, Kennebunk). Federal-style brick in Portland. Farmhouse and converted barn in the interior (Bethel, Fryeburg, Western foothills). Down-East coastal capes throughout. Mid-century lakefront camps converted to year-round homes.
What we see here
Three roofing patterns specific to Maine.
01
Snow load on low-pitch additions and dormers
Interior Maine’s 100+ inch snow accumulation creates load risk on low-pitch sections. We verify framing capacity before re-roofing any building with significant low-pitch area.
02
Cedar shake roofs failing prematurely
When cedar shakes are installed without Cedar Breather underlayment (which most NE installers skip), they rot from below in 8–15 years. We retrofit with proper underlayment when re-roofing.
03

What we see here
Three roofing patterns specific to Maine.
01
Snow load on low-pitch additions and dormers
Interior Maine’s 100+ inch snow accumulation creates load risk on low-pitch sections. We verify framing capacity before re-roofing any building with significant low-pitch area.
02
Cedar shake roofs failing prematurely
When cedar shakes are installed without Cedar Breather underlayment (which most NE installers skip), they rot from below in 8–15 years. We retrofit with proper underlayment when re-roofing.
03
Salt-air corrosion on coastal flashing
Aluminum and galvanized flashing fail in 8–12 years in Maine coastal salt-air. Copper or stainless are the only correct choice for any home within 5 miles of the water.
Roofing for Maine — engineered for the climate and the architecture.
Maine roofs face the longest winters in NE — 100+ inches of snow in interior counties, 70+ inches on the coast, freeze-thaw cycles that last from October through May. The traditional materials work for a reason: cedar shake on coastal saltboxes, standing-seam metal on interior farmhouses. We install both, and we install asphalt for the modern Maine home that wants 30 years of low-maintenance service.

Maine roofs face the longest winters in NE — 100+ inches of snow in interior counties, 70+ inches on the coast, freeze-thaw cycles that last from October through May. The traditional materials work for a reason: cedar shake on coastal saltboxes, standing-seam metal on interior farmhouses. We install both, and we install asphalt for the modern Maine home that wants 30 years of low-maintenance service.
Long winters, deep snow, severe freeze-thaw. Coastal Maine adds salt-air corrosion to the mix. Interior Maine adds extreme cold (sub-zero F for weeks at a time in the western mountains). The roof spec we use in Portland differs from what we’d install in Rangeley.
Coastal saltbox cottages (Camden, Boothbay, Kennebunk). Federal-style brick in Portland. Farmhouse and converted barn in the interior (Bethel, Fryeburg, Western foothills). Down-East coastal capes throughout. Mid-century lakefront camps converted to year-round homes.
What we see here
Three roofing patterns specific to Maine.
01
Snow load on low-pitch additions and dormers
Interior Maine’s 100+ inch snow accumulation creates load risk on low-pitch sections. We verify framing capacity before re-roofing any building with significant low-pitch area.
02
Cedar shake roofs failing prematurely
When cedar shakes are installed without Cedar Breather underlayment (which most NE installers skip), they rot from below in 8–15 years. We retrofit with proper underlayment when re-roofing.

Aluminum and galvanized flashing fail in 8–12 years in Maine coastal salt-air. Copper or stainless are the only correct choice for any home within 5 miles of the water.
Interior Maine’s 100+ inch snow accumulation creates load risk on low-pitch sections. We verify framing capacity before re-roofing any building with significant low-pitch area.
02
Cedar shake roofs failing prematurely
When cedar shakes are installed without Cedar Breather underlayment (which most NE installers skip), they rot from below in 8–15 years. We retrofit with proper underlayment when re-roofing.

Long winters, deep snow, severe freeze-thaw. Coastal Maine adds salt-air corrosion to the mix. Interior Maine adds extreme cold (sub-zero F for weeks at a time in the western mountains). The roof spec we use in Portland differs from what we’d install in Rangeley.
Coastal saltbox cottages (Camden, Boothbay, Kennebunk). Federal-style brick in Portland. Farmhouse and converted barn in the interior (Bethel, Fryeburg, Western foothills). Down-East coastal capes throughout. Mid-century lakefront camps converted to year-round homes.

Roofing for Maine — engineered for the climate and the architecture.
Maine roofs face the longest winters in NE — 100+ inches of snow in interior counties, 70+ inches on the coast, freeze-thaw cycles that last from October through May. The traditional materials work for a reason: cedar shake on coastal saltboxes, standing-seam metal on interior farmhouses. We install both, and we install asphalt for the modern Maine home that wants 30 years of low-maintenance service.

Salt-air corrosion on coastal flashing
Aluminum and galvanized flashing fail in 8–12 years in Maine coastal salt-air. Copper or stainless are the only correct choice for any home within 5 miles of the water.
Long winters, deep snow, severe freeze-thaw. Coastal Maine adds salt-air corrosion to the mix. Interior Maine adds extreme cold (sub-zero F for weeks at a time in the western mountains). The roof spec we use in Portland differs from what we’d install in Rangeley.
Coastal saltbox cottages (Camden, Boothbay, Kennebunk). Federal-style brick in Portland. Farmhouse and converted barn in the interior (Bethel, Fryeburg, Western foothills). Down-East coastal capes throughout. Mid-century lakefront camps converted to year-round homes.
What we see here
Three roofing patterns specific to Maine.
01
Snow load on low-pitch additions and dormers
Interior Maine’s 100+ inch snow accumulation creates load risk on low-pitch sections. We verify framing capacity before re-roofing any building with significant low-pitch area.

Roofing for Maine — engineered for the climate and the architecture.
Maine roofs face the longest winters in NE — 100+ inches of snow in interior counties, 70+ inches on the coast, freeze-thaw cycles that last from October through May. The traditional materials work for a reason: cedar shake on coastal saltboxes, standing-seam metal on interior farmhouses. We install both, and we install asphalt for the modern Maine home that wants 30 years of low-maintenance service.

Long winters, deep snow, severe freeze-thaw. Coastal Maine adds salt-air corrosion to the mix. Interior Maine adds extreme cold (sub-zero F for weeks at a time in the western mountains). The roof spec we use in Portland differs from what we’d install in Rangeley.
Coastal saltbox cottages (Camden, Boothbay, Kennebunk). Federal-style brick in Portland. Farmhouse and converted barn in the interior (Bethel, Fryeburg, Western foothills). Down-East coastal capes throughout. Mid-century lakefront camps converted to year-round homes.
What we see here
Three roofing patterns specific to Maine.
01
Snow load on low-pitch additions and dormers
Interior Maine’s 100+ inch snow accumulation creates load risk on low-pitch sections. We verify framing capacity before re-roofing any building with significant low-pitch area.
02
Cedar shake roofs failing prematurely
When cedar shakes are installed without Cedar Breather underlayment (which most NE installers skip), they rot from below in 8–15 years. We retrofit with proper underlayment when re-roofing.

Roofing for Maine — engineered for the climate and the architecture.
Maine roofs face the longest winters in NE — 100+ inches of snow in interior counties, 70+ inches on the coast, freeze-thaw cycles that last from October through May. The traditional materials work for a reason: cedar shake on coastal saltboxes, standing-seam metal on interior farmhouses. We install both, and we install asphalt for the modern Maine home that wants 30 years of low-maintenance service.

What we see here
Three roofing patterns specific to Maine.
01
Snow load on low-pitch additions and dormers
Interior Maine’s 100+ inch snow accumulation creates load risk on low-pitch sections. We verify framing capacity before re-roofing any building with significant low-pitch area.
02
Cedar shake roofs failing prematurely
When cedar shakes are installed without Cedar Breather underlayment (which most NE installers skip), they rot from below in 8–15 years. We retrofit with proper underlayment when re-roofing.
03
Salt-air corrosion on coastal flashing
Aluminum and galvanized flashing fail in 8–12 years in Maine coastal salt-air. Copper or stainless are the only correct choice for any home within 5 miles of the water.
Roofing for Maine — engineered for the climate and the architecture.
Maine roofs face the longest winters in NE — 100+ inches of snow in interior counties, 70+ inches on the coast, freeze-thaw cycles that last from October through May. The traditional materials work for a reason: cedar shake on coastal saltboxes, standing-seam metal on interior farmhouses.

We install both, and we install asphalt for the modern Maine home that wants 30 years of low-maintenance service.
Long winters, deep snow, severe freeze-thaw. Coastal Maine adds salt-air corrosion to the mix. Interior Maine adds extreme cold (sub-zero F for weeks at a time in the western mountains). The roof spec we use in Portland differs from what we’d install in Rangeley.
Coastal saltbox cottages (Camden, Boothbay, Kennebunk). Federal-style brick in Portland. Farmhouse and converted barn in the interior (Bethel, Fryeburg, Western foothills). Down-East coastal capes throughout. Mid-century lakefront camps converted to year-round homes.
What we see here
Three roofing patterns specific to Maine.
01
Snow load on low-pitch additions and dormers
Interior Maine’s 100+ inch snow accumulation creates load risk on low-pitch sections. We verify framing capacity before re-roofing any building with significant low-pitch area.
02
Cedar shake roofs failing prematurely
When cedar shakes are installed without Cedar Breather underlayment (which most NE installers skip), they rot from below in 8–15 years. We retrofit with proper underlayment when re-roofing.
03
Salt-air corrosion on coastal flashing
Aluminum and galvanized flashing fail in 8–12 years in Maine coastal salt-air. Copper or stainless are the only correct choice for any home within 5 miles of the water.

Interior Maine’s 100+ inch snow accumulation creates load risk on low-pitch sections. We verify framing capacity before re-roofing any building with significant low-pitch area.
02
Cedar shake roofs failing prematurely
When cedar shakes are installed without Cedar Breather underlayment (which most NE installers skip), they rot from below in 8–15 years. We retrofit with proper underlayment when re-roofing.

Roofing for Maine — engineered for the climate and the architecture.
Maine roofs face the longest winters in NE — 100+ inches of snow in interior counties, 70+ inches on the coast, freeze-thaw cycles that last from October through May. The traditional materials work for a reason: cedar shake on coastal saltboxes, standing-seam metal on interior farmhouses. We install both, and we install asphalt for the modern Maine home that wants 30 years of low-maintenance service.
Long winters, deep snow, severe freeze-thaw. Coastal Maine adds salt-air corrosion to the mix. Interior Maine adds extreme cold (sub-zero F for weeks at a time in the western mountains). The roof spec we use in Portland differs from what we’d install in Rangeley.
Coastal saltbox cottages (Camden, Boothbay, Kennebunk). Federal-style brick in Portland. Farmhouse and converted barn in the interior (Bethel, Fryeburg, Western foothills). Down-East coastal capes throughout. Mid-century lakefront camps converted to year-round homes.

Coastal saltbox cottages (Camden, Boothbay, Kennebunk). Federal-style brick in Portland. Farmhouse and converted barn in the interior (Bethel, Fryeburg, Western foothills). Down-East coastal capes throughout. Mid-century lakefront camps converted to year-round homes.
What we see here
Three roofing patterns specific to Maine.
01
Snow load on low-pitch additions and dormers
Interior Maine’s 100+ inch snow accumulation creates load risk on low-pitch sections. We verify framing capacity before re-roofing any building with significant low-pitch area.
02
Cedar shake roofs failing prematurely
When cedar shakes are installed without Cedar Breather underlayment (which most NE installers skip), they rot from below in 8–15 years. We retrofit with proper underlayment when re-roofing.
03
Salt-air corrosion on coastal flashing
Aluminum and galvanized flashing fail in 8–12 years in Maine coastal salt-air. Copper or stainless are the only correct choice for any home within 5 miles of the water.

Roofing for Maine — engineered for the climate and the architecture.
Maine roofs face the longest winters in NE — 100+ inches of snow in interior counties, 70+ inches on the coast, freeze-thaw cycles that last from October through May. The traditional materials work for a reason: cedar shake on coastal saltboxes, standing-seam metal on interior farmhouses. We install both, and we install asphalt for the modern Maine home that wants 30 years of low-maintenance service.

When cedar shakes are installed without Cedar Breather underlayment (which most NE installers skip), they rot from below in 8–15 years. We retrofit with proper underlayment when re-roofing.
03
Salt-air corrosion on coastal flashing
Aluminum and galvanized flashing fail in 8–12 years in Maine coastal salt-air. Copper or stainless are the only correct choice for any home within 5 miles of the water.
Roofing for Maine — engineered for the climate and the architecture.
Maine roofs face the longest winters in NE — 100+ inches of snow in interior counties, 70+ inches on the coast, freeze-thaw cycles that last from October through May. The traditional materials work for a reason: cedar shake on coastal saltboxes, standing-seam metal on interior farmhouses. We install both, and we install asphalt for the modern Maine home that wants 30 years of low-maintenance service.
Long winters, deep snow, severe freeze-thaw. Coastal Maine adds salt-air corrosion to the mix. Interior Maine adds extreme cold (sub-zero F for weeks at a time in the western mountains). The roof spec we use in Portland differs from what we’d install in Rangeley.
Coastal saltbox cottages (Camden, Boothbay, Kennebunk). Federal-style brick in Portland. Farmhouse and converted barn in the interior (Bethel, Fryeburg, Western foothills). Down-East coastal capes throughout. Mid-century lakefront camps converted to year-round homes.
What we see here
Three roofing patterns specific to Maine.
01
Snow load on low-pitch additions and dormers
Interior Maine’s 100+ inch snow accumulation creates load risk on low-pitch sections. We verify framing capacity before re-roofing any building with significant low-pitch area.

Maine roofs face the longest winters in NE — 100+ inches of snow in interior counties, 70+ inches on the coast, freeze-thaw cycles that last from October through May. The traditional materials work for a reason: cedar shake on coastal saltboxes, standing-seam metal on interior farmhouses. We install both, and we install asphalt for the modern Maine home that wants 30 years of low-maintenance service.
Long winters, deep snow, severe freeze-thaw. Coastal Maine adds salt-air corrosion to the mix. Interior Maine adds extreme cold (sub-zero F for weeks at a time in the western mountains). The roof spec we use in Portland differs from what we’d install in Rangeley.
Coastal saltbox cottages (Camden, Boothbay, Kennebunk). Federal-style brick in Portland. Farmhouse and converted barn in the interior (Bethel, Fryeburg, Western foothills). Down-East coastal capes throughout. Mid-century lakefront camps converted to year-round homes.
What we see here
Three roofing patterns specific to Maine.
01
Snow load on low-pitch additions and dormers
Interior Maine’s 100+ inch snow accumulation creates load risk on low-pitch sections. We verify framing capacity before re-roofing any building with significant low-pitch area.
02
Cedar shake roofs failing prematurely
When cedar shakes are installed without Cedar Breather underlayment (which most NE installers skip), they rot from below in 8–15 years. We retrofit with proper underlayment when re-roofing.
03
Salt-air corrosion on coastal flashing
Aluminum and galvanized flashing fail in 8–12 years in Maine coastal salt-air. Copper or stainless are the only correct choice for any home within 5 miles of the water.

Interior Maine’s 100+ inch snow accumulation creates load risk on low-pitch sections. We verify framing capacity before re-roofing any building with significant low-pitch area.
02
Cedar shake roofs failing prematurely
When cedar shakes are installed without Cedar Breather underlayment (which most NE installers skip), they rot from below in 8–15 years. We retrofit with proper underlayment when re-roofing.
03
Salt-air corrosion on coastal flashing
Aluminum and galvanized flashing fail in 8–12 years in Maine coastal salt-air. Copper or stainless are the only correct choice for any home within 5 miles of the water.
Long winters, deep snow, severe freeze-thaw. Coastal Maine adds salt-air corrosion to the mix. Interior Maine adds extreme cold (sub-zero F for weeks at a time in the western mountains). The roof spec we use in Portland differs from what we’d install in Rangeley.
Coastal saltbox cottages (Camden, Boothbay, Kennebunk). Federal-style brick in Portland. Farmhouse and converted barn in the interior (Bethel, Fryeburg, Western foothills). Down-East coastal capes throughout. Mid-century lakefront camps converted to year-round homes.

Roofing for Maine — engineered for the climate and the architecture.
Maine roofs face the longest winters in NE — 100+ inches of snow in interior counties, 70+ inches on the coast, freeze-thaw cycles that last from October through May. The traditional materials work for a reason: cedar shake on coastal saltboxes, standing-seam metal on interior farmhouses. We install both, and we install asphalt for the modern Maine home that wants 30 years of low-maintenance service.

Salt-air corrosion on coastal flashing
Aluminum and galvanized flashing fail in 8–12 years in Maine coastal salt-air. Copper or stainless are the only correct choice for any home within 5 miles of the water.
Roofing for Maine — engineered for the climate and the architecture.
Maine roofs face the longest winters in NE — 100+ inches of snow in interior counties, 70+ inches on the coast, freeze-thaw cycles that last from October through May. The traditional materials work for a reason: cedar shake on coastal saltboxes, standing-seam metal on interior farmhouses. We install both, and we install asphalt for the modern Maine home that wants 30 years of low-maintenance service.
Long winters, deep snow, severe freeze-thaw. Coastal Maine adds salt-air corrosion to the mix. Interior Maine adds extreme cold (sub-zero F for weeks at a time in the western mountains). The roof spec we use in Portland differs from what we’d install in Rangeley.
Coastal saltbox cottages (Camden, Boothbay, Kennebunk). Federal-style brick in Portland. Farmhouse and converted barn in the interior (Bethel, Fryeburg, Western foothills). Down-East coastal capes throughout. Mid-century lakefront camps converted to year-round homes.
What we see here
Three roofing patterns specific to Maine.
01
Snow load on low-pitch additions and dormers
Interior Maine’s 100+ inch snow accumulation creates load risk on low-pitch sections. We verify framing capacity before re-roofing any building with significant low-pitch area.

The traditional materials work for a reason: cedar shake on coastal saltboxes, standing-seam metal on interior farmhouses. We install both, and we install asphalt for the modern Maine home that wants 30 years of low-maintenance service.
Long winters, deep snow, severe freeze-thaw. Coastal Maine adds salt-air corrosion to the mix. Interior Maine adds extreme cold (sub-zero F for weeks at a time in the western mountains). The roof spec we use in Portland differs from what we’d install in Rangeley.
Coastal saltbox cottages (Camden, Boothbay, Kennebunk). Federal-style brick in Portland. Farmhouse and converted barn in the interior (Bethel, Fryeburg, Western foothills). Down-East coastal capes throughout. Mid-century lakefront camps converted to year-round homes.
What we see here
Three roofing patterns specific to Maine.
01
Snow load on low-pitch additions and dormers
Interior Maine’s 100+ inch snow accumulation creates load risk on low-pitch sections. We verify framing capacity before re-roofing any building with significant low-pitch area.
02
Cedar shake roofs failing prematurely
When cedar shakes are installed without Cedar Breather underlayment (which most NE installers skip), they rot from below in 8–15 years. We retrofit with proper underlayment when re-roofing.
03
Salt-air corrosion on coastal flashing
Aluminum and galvanized flashing fail in 8–12 years in Maine coastal salt-air. Copper or stainless are the only correct choice for any home within 5 miles of the water.

Long winters, deep snow, severe freeze-thaw. Coastal Maine adds salt-air corrosion to the mix. Interior Maine adds extreme cold (sub-zero F for weeks at a time in the western mountains). The roof spec we use in Portland differs from what we’d install in Rangeley.

What we see here
Three roofing patterns specific to Maine.
01
Snow load on low-pitch additions and dormers
Interior Maine’s 100+ inch snow accumulation creates load risk on low-pitch sections. We verify framing capacity before re-roofing any building with significant low-pitch area.
02
Cedar shake roofs failing prematurely
When cedar shakes are installed without Cedar Breather underlayment (which most NE installers skip), they rot from below in 8–15 years. We retrofit with proper underlayment when re-roofing.
03
Salt-air corrosion on coastal flashing
Aluminum and galvanized flashing fail in 8–12 years in Maine coastal salt-air. Copper or stainless are the only correct choice for any home within 5 miles of the water.

Maine roofs face the longest winters in NE — 100+ inches of snow in interior counties, 70+ inches on the coast, freeze-thaw cycles that last from October through May.

What we see here
Three roofing patterns specific to Maine.
01
Snow load on low-pitch additions and dormers
Interior Maine’s 100+ inch snow accumulation creates load risk on low-pitch sections. We verify framing capacity before re-roofing any building with significant low-pitch area.
02
Cedar shake roofs failing prematurely
When cedar shakes are installed without Cedar Breather underlayment (which most NE installers skip), they rot from below in 8–15 years. We retrofit with proper underlayment when re-roofing.
03
Salt-air corrosion on coastal flashing
Aluminum and galvanized flashing fail in 8–12 years in Maine coastal salt-air. Copper or stainless are the only correct choice for any home within 5 miles of the water.
Roofing for Maine — engineered for the climate and the architecture.
Maine roofs face the longest winters in NE — 100+ inches of snow in interior counties, 70+ inches on the coast, freeze-thaw cycles that last from October through May. The traditional materials work for a reason: cedar shake on coastal saltboxes, standing-seam metal on interior farmhouses.

Long winters, deep snow, severe freeze-thaw. Coastal Maine adds salt-air corrosion to the mix. Interior Maine adds extreme cold (sub-zero F for weeks at a time in the western mountains). The roof spec we use in Portland differs from what we’d install in Rangeley.
Coastal saltbox cottages (Camden, Boothbay, Kennebunk). Federal-style brick in Portland. Farmhouse and converted barn in the interior (Bethel, Fryeburg, Western foothills). Down-East coastal capes throughout. Mid-century lakefront camps converted to year-round homes.
What we see here
Three roofing patterns specific to Maine.
01
Snow load on low-pitch additions and dormers
Interior Maine’s 100+ inch snow accumulation creates load risk on low-pitch sections. We verify framing capacity before re-roofing any building with significant low-pitch area.
02
Cedar shake roofs failing prematurely
When cedar shakes are installed without Cedar Breather underlayment (which most NE installers skip), they rot from below in 8–15 years. We retrofit with proper underlayment when re-roofing.
03
Salt-air corrosion on coastal flashing
Aluminum and galvanized flashing fail in 8–12 years in Maine coastal salt-air. Copper or stainless are the only correct choice for any home within 5 miles of the water.

Salt-air corrosion on coastal flashing
Aluminum and galvanized flashing fail in 8–12 years in Maine coastal salt-air. Copper or stainless are the only correct choice for any home within 5 miles of the water.
Roofing for Maine — engineered for the climate and the architecture.
Maine roofs face the longest winters in NE — 100+ inches of snow in interior counties, 70+ inches on the coast, freeze-thaw cycles that last from October through May. The traditional materials work for a reason: cedar shake on coastal saltboxes, standing-seam metal on interior farmhouses. We install both, and we install asphalt for the modern Maine home that wants 30 years of low-maintenance service.
Long winters, deep snow, severe freeze-thaw. Coastal Maine adds salt-air corrosion to the mix. Interior Maine adds extreme cold (sub-zero F for weeks at a time in the western mountains). The roof spec we use in Portland differs from what we’d install in Rangeley.
Coastal saltbox cottages (Camden, Boothbay, Kennebunk). Federal-style brick in Portland. Farmhouse and converted barn in the interior (Bethel, Fryeburg, Western foothills). Down-East coastal capes throughout. Mid-century lakefront camps converted to year-round homes.
What we see here
Three roofing patterns specific to Maine.
01

What we see here
Three roofing patterns specific to Maine.
01
Snow load on low-pitch additions and dormers
Interior Maine’s 100+ inch snow accumulation creates load risk on low-pitch sections. We verify framing capacity before re-roofing any building with significant low-pitch area.
02
Cedar shake roofs failing prematurely
When cedar shakes are installed without Cedar Breather underlayment (which most NE installers skip), they rot from below in 8–15 years. We retrofit with proper underlayment when re-roofing.

Roofing for Maine — engineered for the climate and the architecture.
Maine roofs face the longest winters in NE — 100+ inches of snow in interior counties, 70+ inches on the coast, freeze-thaw cycles that last from October through May. The traditional materials work for a reason: cedar shake on coastal saltboxes, standing-seam metal on interior farmhouses. We install both, and we install asphalt for the modern Maine home that wants 30 years of low-maintenance service.

Long winters, deep snow, severe freeze-thaw. Coastal Maine adds salt-air corrosion to the mix. Interior Maine adds extreme cold (sub-zero F for weeks at a time in the western mountains). The roof spec we use in Portland differs from what we’d install in Rangeley.

What we see here
Three roofing patterns specific to Maine.
01
Snow load on low-pitch additions and dormers
Interior Maine’s 100+ inch snow accumulation creates load risk on low-pitch sections. We verify framing capacity before re-roofing any building with significant low-pitch area.
02
Cedar shake roofs failing prematurely
When cedar shakes are installed without Cedar Breather underlayment (which most NE installers skip), they rot from below in 8–15 years. We retrofit with proper underlayment when re-roofing.
03
Salt-air corrosion on coastal flashing
Aluminum and galvanized flashing fail in 8–12 years in Maine coastal salt-air. Copper or stainless are the only correct choice for any home within 5 miles of the water.

Roofing for Maine — engineered for the climate and the architecture.
Maine roofs face the longest winters in NE — 100+ inches of snow in interior counties, 70+ inches on the coast, freeze-thaw cycles that last from October through May. The traditional materials work for a reason: cedar shake on coastal saltboxes, standing-seam metal on interior farmhouses. We install both, and we install asphalt for the modern Maine home that wants 30 years of low-maintenance service.

When cedar shakes are installed without Cedar Breather underlayment (which most NE installers skip), they rot from below in 8–15 years. We retrofit with proper underlayment when re-roofing.
03
Salt-air corrosion on coastal flashing
Aluminum and galvanized flashing fail in 8–12 years in Maine coastal salt-air. Copper or stainless are the only correct choice for any home within 5 miles of the water.
Roofing for Maine — engineered for the climate and the architecture.
Maine roofs face the longest winters in NE — 100+ inches of snow in interior counties, 70+ inches on the coast, freeze-thaw cycles that last from October through May. The traditional materials work for a reason: cedar shake on coastal saltboxes, standing-seam metal on interior farmhouses. We install both, and we install asphalt for the modern Maine home that wants 30 years of low-maintenance service.
Long winters, deep snow, severe freeze-thaw. Coastal Maine adds salt-air corrosion to the mix. Interior Maine adds extreme cold (sub-zero F for weeks at a time in the western mountains). The roof spec we use in Portland differs from what we’d install in Rangeley.
Coastal saltbox cottages (Camden, Boothbay, Kennebunk). Federal-style brick in Portland. Farmhouse and converted barn in the interior (Bethel, Fryeburg, Western foothills). Down-East coastal capes throughout. Mid-century lakefront camps converted to year-round homes.
What we see here
Three roofing patterns specific to Maine.
01
Snow load on low-pitch additions and dormers
Interior Maine’s 100+ inch snow accumulation creates load risk on low-pitch sections. We verify framing capacity before re-roofing any building with significant low-pitch area.

We install both, and we install asphalt for the modern Maine home that wants 30 years of low-maintenance service.
Long winters, deep snow, severe freeze-thaw. Coastal Maine adds salt-air corrosion to the mix. Interior Maine adds extreme cold (sub-zero F for weeks at a time in the western mountains). The roof spec we use in Portland differs from what we’d install in Rangeley.
Coastal saltbox cottages (Camden, Boothbay, Kennebunk). Federal-style brick in Portland. Farmhouse and converted barn in the interior (Bethel, Fryeburg, Western foothills). Down-East coastal capes throughout. Mid-century lakefront camps converted to year-round homes.
What we see here
Three roofing patterns specific to Maine.
01
Snow load on low-pitch additions and dormers
Interior Maine’s 100+ inch snow accumulation creates load risk on low-pitch sections. We verify framing capacity before re-roofing any building with significant low-pitch area.
02
Cedar shake roofs failing prematurely
When cedar shakes are installed without Cedar Breather underlayment (which most NE installers skip), they rot from below in 8–15 years. We retrofit with proper underlayment when re-roofing.
03
Salt-air corrosion on coastal flashing
Aluminum and galvanized flashing fail in 8–12 years in Maine coastal salt-air. Copper or stainless are the only correct choice for any home within 5 miles of the water.

When cedar shakes are installed without Cedar Breather underlayment (which most NE installers skip), they rot from below in 8–15 years. We retrofit with proper underlayment when re-roofing.
03
Salt-air corrosion on coastal flashing
Aluminum and galvanized flashing fail in 8–12 years in Maine coastal salt-air. Copper or stainless are the only correct choice for any home within 5 miles of the water.
Long winters, deep snow, severe freeze-thaw. Coastal Maine adds salt-air corrosion to the mix. Interior Maine adds extreme cold (sub-zero F for weeks at a time in the western mountains). The roof spec we use in Portland differs from what we’d install in Rangeley.
Coastal saltbox cottages (Camden, Boothbay, Kennebunk). Federal-style brick in Portland. Farmhouse and converted barn in the interior (Bethel, Fryeburg, Western foothills). Down-East coastal capes throughout. Mid-century lakefront camps converted to year-round homes.
What we see here
Three roofing patterns specific to Maine.
01
Snow load on low-pitch additions and dormers
Interior Maine’s 100+ inch snow accumulation creates load risk on low-pitch sections. We verify framing capacity before re-roofing any building with significant low-pitch area.

Roofing for Maine — engineered for the climate and the architecture.
Maine roofs face the longest winters in NE — 100+ inches of snow in interior counties, 70+ inches on the coast, freeze-thaw cycles that last from October through May. The traditional materials work for a reason: cedar shake on coastal saltboxes, standing-seam metal on interior farmhouses. We install both, and we install asphalt for the modern Maine home that wants 30 years of low-maintenance service.

Cedar shake roofs failing prematurely
When cedar shakes are installed without Cedar Breather underlayment (which most NE installers skip), they rot from below in 8–15 years. We retrofit with proper underlayment when re-roofing.
03
Salt-air corrosion on coastal flashing
Aluminum and galvanized flashing fail in 8–12 years in Maine coastal salt-air. Copper or stainless are the only correct choice for any home within 5 miles of the water.
Roofing for Maine — engineered for the climate and the architecture.
Maine roofs face the longest winters in NE — 100+ inches of snow in interior counties, 70+ inches on the coast, freeze-thaw cycles that last from October through May. The traditional materials work for a reason: cedar shake on coastal saltboxes, standing-seam metal on interior farmhouses. We install both, and we install asphalt for the modern Maine home that wants 30 years of low-maintenance service.
Long winters, deep snow, severe freeze-thaw. Coastal Maine adds salt-air corrosion to the mix. Interior Maine adds extreme cold (sub-zero F for weeks at a time in the western mountains). The roof spec we use in Portland differs from what we’d install in Rangeley.
Coastal saltbox cottages (Camden, Boothbay, Kennebunk). Federal-style brick in Portland. Farmhouse and converted barn in the interior (Bethel, Fryeburg, Western foothills). Down-East coastal capes throughout. Mid-century lakefront camps converted to year-round homes.

The traditional materials work for a reason: cedar shake on coastal saltboxes, standing-seam metal on interior farmhouses. We install both, and we install asphalt for the modern Maine home that wants 30 years of low-maintenance service.
Long winters, deep snow, severe freeze-thaw. Coastal Maine adds salt-air corrosion to the mix. Interior Maine adds extreme cold (sub-zero F for weeks at a time in the western mountains). The roof spec we use in Portland differs from what we’d install in Rangeley.
Coastal saltbox cottages (Camden, Boothbay, Kennebunk). Federal-style brick in Portland. Farmhouse and converted barn in the interior (Bethel, Fryeburg, Western foothills). Down-East coastal capes throughout. Mid-century lakefront camps converted to year-round homes.
What we see here
Three roofing patterns specific to Maine.
01
Snow load on low-pitch additions and dormers
Interior Maine’s 100+ inch snow accumulation creates load risk on low-pitch sections. We verify framing capacity before re-roofing any building with significant low-pitch area.
02
Cedar shake roofs failing prematurely
When cedar shakes are installed without Cedar Breather underlayment (which most NE installers skip), they rot from below in 8–15 years. We retrofit with proper underlayment when re-roofing.
03
Salt-air corrosion on coastal flashing
Aluminum and galvanized flashing fail in 8–12 years in Maine coastal salt-air. Copper or stainless are the only correct choice for any home within 5 miles of the water.

Coastal saltbox cottages (Camden, Boothbay, Kennebunk). Federal-style brick in Portland. Farmhouse and converted barn in the interior (Bethel, Fryeburg, Western foothills). Down-East coastal capes throughout. Mid-century lakefront camps converted to year-round homes.
What we see here
Three roofing patterns specific to Maine.
01
Snow load on low-pitch additions and dormers
Interior Maine’s 100+ inch snow accumulation creates load risk on low-pitch sections. We verify framing capacity before re-roofing any building with significant low-pitch area.
02
Cedar shake roofs failing prematurely
When cedar shakes are installed without Cedar Breather underlayment (which most NE installers skip), they rot from below in 8–15 years. We retrofit with proper underlayment when re-roofing.
03
Salt-air corrosion on coastal flashing
Aluminum and galvanized flashing fail in 8–12 years in Maine coastal salt-air. Copper or stainless are the only correct choice for any home within 5 miles of the water.
Roofing for Maine — engineered for the climate and the architecture.
Maine roofs face the longest winters in NE — 100+ inches of snow in interior counties, 70+ inches on the coast, freeze-thaw cycles that last from October through May. The traditional materials work for a reason: cedar shake on coastal saltboxes, standing-seam metal on interior farmhouses.

Interior Maine’s 100+ inch snow accumulation creates load risk on low-pitch sections. We verify framing capacity before re-roofing any building with significant low-pitch area.
02
Cedar shake roofs failing prematurely
When cedar shakes are installed without Cedar Breather underlayment (which most NE installers skip), they rot from below in 8–15 years. We retrofit with proper underlayment when re-roofing.
03
Salt-air corrosion on coastal flashing
Aluminum and galvanized flashing fail in 8–12 years in Maine coastal salt-air. Copper or stainless are the only correct choice for any home within 5 miles of the water.
Roofing for Maine — engineered for the climate and the architecture.
Maine roofs face the longest winters in NE — 100+ inches of snow in interior counties, 70+ inches on the coast, freeze-thaw cycles that last from October through May. The traditional materials work for a reason: cedar shake on coastal saltboxes, standing-seam metal on interior farmhouses. We install both, and we install asphalt for the modern Maine home that wants 30 years of low-maintenance service.
Long winters, deep snow, severe freeze-thaw. Coastal Maine adds salt-air corrosion to the mix. Interior Maine adds extreme cold (sub-zero F for weeks at a time in the western mountains). The roof spec we use in Portland differs from what we’d install in Rangeley.
Coastal saltbox cottages (Camden, Boothbay, Kennebunk). Federal-style brick in Portland. Farmhouse and converted barn in the interior (Bethel, Fryeburg, Western foothills). Down-East coastal capes throughout. Mid-century lakefront camps converted to year-round homes.

Interior Maine’s 100+ inch snow accumulation creates load risk on low-pitch sections. We verify framing capacity before re-roofing any building with significant low-pitch area.
02
Cedar shake roofs failing prematurely
When cedar shakes are installed without Cedar Breather underlayment (which most NE installers skip), they rot from below in 8–15 years. We retrofit with proper underlayment when re-roofing.
03
Salt-air corrosion on coastal flashing
Aluminum and galvanized flashing fail in 8–12 years in Maine coastal salt-air. Copper or stainless are the only correct choice for any home within 5 miles of the water.
Roofing for Maine — engineered for the climate and the architecture.
Maine roofs face the longest winters in NE — 100+ inches of snow in interior counties, 70+ inches on the coast, freeze-thaw cycles that last from October through May. The traditional materials work for a reason: cedar shake on coastal saltboxes, standing-seam metal on interior farmhouses. We install both, and we install asphalt for the modern Maine home that wants 30 years of low-maintenance service.
Long winters, deep snow, severe freeze-thaw. Coastal Maine adds salt-air corrosion to the mix. Interior Maine adds extreme cold (sub-zero F for weeks at a time in the western mountains). The roof spec we use in Portland differs from what we’d install in Rangeley.
Coastal saltbox cottages (Camden, Boothbay, Kennebunk). Federal-style brick in Portland. Farmhouse and converted barn in the interior (Bethel, Fryeburg, Western foothills). Down-East coastal capes throughout. Mid-century lakefront camps converted to year-round homes.

Long winters, deep snow, severe freeze-thaw. Coastal Maine adds salt-air corrosion to the mix. Interior Maine adds extreme cold (sub-zero F for weeks at a time in the western mountains). The roof spec we use in Portland differs from what we’d install in Rangeley.
Coastal saltbox cottages (Camden, Boothbay, Kennebunk). Federal-style brick in Portland. Farmhouse and converted barn in the interior (Bethel, Fryeburg, Western foothills). Down-East coastal capes throughout. Mid-century lakefront camps converted to year-round homes.
What we see here
Three roofing patterns specific to Maine.
01
Snow load on low-pitch additions and dormers
Interior Maine’s 100+ inch snow accumulation creates load risk on low-pitch sections. We verify framing capacity before re-roofing any building with significant low-pitch area.
02
Cedar shake roofs failing prematurely
When cedar shakes are installed without Cedar Breather underlayment (which most NE installers skip), they rot from below in 8–15 years. We retrofit with proper underlayment when re-roofing.
03
Salt-air corrosion on coastal flashing
Aluminum and galvanized flashing fail in 8–12 years in Maine coastal salt-air. Copper or stainless are the only correct choice for any home within 5 miles of the water.

What we see here
Three roofing patterns specific to Maine.
01
Snow load on low-pitch additions and dormers
Interior Maine’s 100+ inch snow accumulation creates load risk on low-pitch sections. We verify framing capacity before re-roofing any building with significant low-pitch area.
02
Cedar shake roofs failing prematurely
When cedar shakes are installed without Cedar Breather underlayment (which most NE installers skip), they rot from below in 8–15 years. We retrofit with proper underlayment when re-roofing.

Roofing for Maine — engineered for the climate and the architecture.
Maine roofs face the longest winters in NE — 100+ inches of snow in interior counties, 70+ inches on the coast, freeze-thaw cycles that last from October through May. The traditional materials work for a reason: cedar shake on coastal saltboxes, standing-seam metal on interior farmhouses. We install both, and we install asphalt for the modern Maine home that wants 30 years of low-maintenance service.

What we see here
Three roofing patterns specific to Maine.
01
Snow load on low-pitch additions and dormers
Interior Maine’s 100+ inch snow accumulation creates load risk on low-pitch sections. We verify framing capacity before re-roofing any building with significant low-pitch area.
02
Cedar shake roofs failing prematurely
When cedar shakes are installed without Cedar Breather underlayment (which most NE installers skip), they rot from below in 8–15 years. We retrofit with proper underlayment when re-roofing.
03
Salt-air corrosion on coastal flashing
Aluminum and galvanized flashing fail in 8–12 years in Maine coastal salt-air. Copper or stainless are the only correct choice for any home within 5 miles of the water.

Roofing for Maine — engineered for the climate and the architecture.
Maine roofs face the longest winters in NE — 100+ inches of snow in interior counties, 70+ inches on the coast, freeze-thaw cycles that last from October through May.

Salt-air corrosion on coastal flashing
Aluminum and galvanized flashing fail in 8–12 years in Maine coastal salt-air. Copper or stainless are the only correct choice for any home within 5 miles of the water.
Roofing for Maine — engineered for the climate and the architecture.
Maine roofs face the longest winters in NE — 100+ inches of snow in interior counties, 70+ inches on the coast, freeze-thaw cycles that last from October through May. The traditional materials work for a reason: cedar shake on coastal saltboxes, standing-seam metal on interior farmhouses. We install both, and we install asphalt for the modern Maine home that wants 30 years of low-maintenance service.
Long winters, deep snow, severe freeze-thaw. Coastal Maine adds salt-air corrosion to the mix. Interior Maine adds extreme cold (sub-zero F for weeks at a time in the western mountains). The roof spec we use in Portland differs from what we’d install in Rangeley.
Coastal saltbox cottages (Camden, Boothbay, Kennebunk). Federal-style brick in Portland. Farmhouse and converted barn in the interior (Bethel, Fryeburg, Western foothills). Down-East coastal capes throughout. Mid-century lakefront camps converted to year-round homes.
What we see here
Three roofing patterns specific to Maine.
01
Snow load on low-pitch additions and dormers
Interior Maine’s 100+ inch snow accumulation creates load risk on low-pitch sections. We verify framing capacity before re-roofing any building with significant low-pitch area.

Snow load on low-pitch additions and dormers
Interior Maine’s 100+ inch snow accumulation creates load risk on low-pitch sections. We verify framing capacity before re-roofing any building with significant low-pitch area.
02
Cedar shake roofs failing prematurely
When cedar shakes are installed without Cedar Breather underlayment (which most NE installers skip), they rot from below in 8–15 years. We retrofit with proper underlayment when re-roofing.
03
Salt-air corrosion on coastal flashing
Aluminum and galvanized flashing fail in 8–12 years in Maine coastal salt-air. Copper or stainless are the only correct choice for any home within 5 miles of the water.

Long winters, deep snow, severe freeze-thaw. Coastal Maine adds salt-air corrosion to the mix. Interior Maine adds extreme cold (sub-zero F for weeks at a time in the western mountains). The roof spec we use in Portland differs from what we’d install in Rangeley.
Coastal saltbox cottages (Camden, Boothbay, Kennebunk). Federal-style brick in Portland. Farmhouse and converted barn in the interior (Bethel, Fryeburg, Western foothills). Down-East coastal capes throughout. Mid-century lakefront camps converted to year-round homes.

Roofing for Maine — engineered for the climate and the architecture.
Maine roofs face the longest winters in NE — 100+ inches of snow in interior counties, 70+ inches on the coast, freeze-thaw cycles that last from October through May. The traditional materials work for a reason: cedar shake on coastal saltboxes, standing-seam metal on interior farmhouses. We install both, and we install asphalt for the modern Maine home that wants 30 years of low-maintenance service.

Long winters, deep snow, severe freeze-thaw. Coastal Maine adds salt-air corrosion to the mix. Interior Maine adds extreme cold (sub-zero F for weeks at a time in the western mountains). The roof spec we use in Portland differs from what we’d install in Rangeley.
Coastal saltbox cottages (Camden, Boothbay, Kennebunk). Federal-style brick in Portland. Farmhouse and converted barn in the interior (Bethel, Fryeburg, Western foothills). Down-East coastal capes throughout. Mid-century lakefront camps converted to year-round homes.
What we see here
Three roofing patterns specific to Maine.
01
Snow load on low-pitch additions and dormers
Interior Maine’s 100+ inch snow accumulation creates load risk on low-pitch sections. We verify framing capacity before re-roofing any building with significant low-pitch area.
02
Cedar shake roofs failing prematurely
When cedar shakes are installed without Cedar Breather underlayment (which most NE installers skip), they rot from below in 8–15 years. We retrofit with proper underlayment when re-roofing.
03
Salt-air corrosion on coastal flashing
Aluminum and galvanized flashing fail in 8–12 years in Maine coastal salt-air. Copper or stainless are the only correct choice for any home within 5 miles of the water.

Long winters, deep snow, severe freeze-thaw. Coastal Maine adds salt-air corrosion to the mix. Interior Maine adds extreme cold (sub-zero F for weeks at a time in the western mountains). The roof spec we use in Portland differs from what we’d install in Rangeley.

What we see here
Three roofing patterns specific to Maine.
01
Snow load on low-pitch additions and dormers
Interior Maine’s 100+ inch snow accumulation creates load risk on low-pitch sections. We verify framing capacity before re-roofing any building with significant low-pitch area.
02
Cedar shake roofs failing prematurely
When cedar shakes are installed without Cedar Breather underlayment (which most NE installers skip), they rot from below in 8–15 years. We retrofit with proper underlayment when re-roofing.
03
Salt-air corrosion on coastal flashing
Aluminum and galvanized flashing fail in 8–12 years in Maine coastal salt-air. Copper or stainless are the only correct choice for any home within 5 miles of the water.

Roofing for Maine — engineered for the climate and the architecture.
Maine roofs face the longest winters in NE — 100+ inches of snow in interior counties, 70+ inches on the coast, freeze-thaw cycles that last from October through May.

We install both, and we install asphalt for the modern Maine home that wants 30 years of low-maintenance service.

Aluminum and galvanized flashing fail in 8–12 years in Maine coastal salt-air. Copper or stainless are the only correct choice for any home within 5 miles of the water.
Long winters, deep snow, severe freeze-thaw. Coastal Maine adds salt-air corrosion to the mix. Interior Maine adds extreme cold (sub-zero F for weeks at a time in the western mountains). The roof spec we use in Portland differs from what we’d install in Rangeley.
Coastal saltbox cottages (Camden, Boothbay, Kennebunk). Federal-style brick in Portland. Farmhouse and converted barn in the interior (Bethel, Fryeburg, Western foothills). Down-East coastal capes throughout. Mid-century lakefront camps converted to year-round homes.
What we see here
Three roofing patterns specific to Maine.
01
Snow load on low-pitch additions and dormers
Interior Maine’s 100+ inch snow accumulation creates load risk on low-pitch sections. We verify framing capacity before re-roofing any building with significant low-pitch area.
02
Cedar shake roofs failing prematurely
When cedar shakes are installed without Cedar Breather underlayment (which most NE installers skip), they rot from below in 8–15 years. We retrofit with proper underlayment when re-roofing.

Roofing for Maine — engineered for the climate and the architecture.
Maine roofs face the longest winters in NE — 100+ inches of snow in interior counties, 70+ inches on the coast, freeze-thaw cycles that last from October through May. The traditional materials work for a reason: cedar shake on coastal saltboxes, standing-seam metal on interior farmhouses. We install both, and we install asphalt for the modern Maine home that wants 30 years of low-maintenance service.

Salt-air corrosion on coastal flashing
Aluminum and galvanized flashing fail in 8–12 years in Maine coastal salt-air. Copper or stainless are the only correct choice for any home within 5 miles of the water.
Interior Maine’s 100+ inch snow accumulation creates load risk on low-pitch sections. We verify framing capacity before re-roofing any building with significant low-pitch area.

Roofing for Maine — engineered for the climate and the architecture.
Maine roofs face the longest winters in NE — 100+ inches of snow in interior counties, 70+ inches on the coast, freeze-thaw cycles that last from October through May. The traditional materials work for a reason: cedar shake on coastal saltboxes, standing-seam metal on interior farmhouses. We install both, and we install asphalt for the modern Maine home that wants 30 years of low-maintenance service.
Long winters, deep snow, severe freeze-thaw. Coastal Maine adds salt-air corrosion to the mix. Interior Maine adds extreme cold (sub-zero F for weeks at a time in the western mountains). The roof spec we use in Portland differs from what we’d install in Rangeley.
Coastal saltbox cottages (Camden, Boothbay, Kennebunk). Federal-style brick in Portland. Farmhouse and converted barn in the interior (Bethel, Fryeburg, Western foothills). Down-East coastal capes throughout. Mid-century lakefront camps converted to year-round homes.

The traditional materials work for a reason: cedar shake on coastal saltboxes, standing-seam metal on interior farmhouses. We install both, and we install asphalt for the modern Maine home that wants 30 years of low-maintenance service.
Long winters, deep snow, severe freeze-thaw. Coastal Maine adds salt-air corrosion to the mix. Interior Maine adds extreme cold (sub-zero F for weeks at a time in the western mountains). The roof spec we use in Portland differs from what we’d install in Rangeley.
Coastal saltbox cottages (Camden, Boothbay, Kennebunk). Federal-style brick in Portland. Farmhouse and converted barn in the interior (Bethel, Fryeburg, Western foothills). Down-East coastal capes throughout. Mid-century lakefront camps converted to year-round homes.
What we see here
Three roofing patterns specific to Maine.
01
Snow load on low-pitch additions and dormers
Interior Maine’s 100+ inch snow accumulation creates load risk on low-pitch sections. We verify framing capacity before re-roofing any building with significant low-pitch area.
02
Cedar shake roofs failing prematurely
When cedar shakes are installed without Cedar Breather underlayment (which most NE installers skip), they rot from below in 8–15 years. We retrofit with proper underlayment when re-roofing.
03
Salt-air corrosion on coastal flashing
Aluminum and galvanized flashing fail in 8–12 years in Maine coastal salt-air. Copper or stainless are the only correct choice for any home within 5 miles of the water.

Long winters, deep snow, severe freeze-thaw. Coastal Maine adds salt-air corrosion to the mix. Interior Maine adds extreme cold (sub-zero F for weeks at a time in the western mountains). The roof spec we use in Portland differs from what we’d install in Rangeley.
Coastal saltbox cottages (Camden, Boothbay, Kennebunk). Federal-style brick in Portland. Farmhouse and converted barn in the interior (Bethel, Fryeburg, Western foothills). Down-East coastal capes throughout. Mid-century lakefront camps converted to year-round homes.
What we see here
Three roofing patterns specific to Maine.
01
Snow load on low-pitch additions and dormers
Interior Maine’s 100+ inch snow accumulation creates load risk on low-pitch sections. We verify framing capacity before re-roofing any building with significant low-pitch area.
02
Cedar shake roofs failing prematurely
When cedar shakes are installed without Cedar Breather underlayment (which most NE installers skip), they rot from below in 8–15 years. We retrofit with proper underlayment when re-roofing.

Roofing for Maine — engineered for the climate and the architecture.
Maine roofs face the longest winters in NE — 100+ inches of snow in interior counties, 70+ inches on the coast, freeze-thaw cycles that last from October through May. The traditional materials work for a reason: cedar shake on coastal saltboxes, standing-seam metal on interior farmhouses. We install both, and we install asphalt for the modern Maine home that wants 30 years of low-maintenance service.

Interior Maine’s 100+ inch snow accumulation creates load risk on low-pitch sections. We verify framing capacity before re-roofing any building with significant low-pitch area.
02
Cedar shake roofs failing prematurely
When cedar shakes are installed without Cedar Breather underlayment (which most NE installers skip), they rot from below in 8–15 years. We retrofit with proper underlayment when re-roofing.
03
Salt-air corrosion on coastal flashing
Aluminum and galvanized flashing fail in 8–12 years in Maine coastal salt-air. Copper or stainless are the only correct choice for any home within 5 miles of the water.
Roofing for Maine — engineered for the climate and the architecture.
Maine roofs face the longest winters in NE — 100+ inches of snow in interior counties, 70+ inches on the coast, freeze-thaw cycles that last from October through May. The traditional materials work for a reason: cedar shake on coastal saltboxes, standing-seam metal on interior farmhouses. We install both, and we install asphalt for the modern Maine home that wants 30 years of low-maintenance service.
Long winters, deep snow, severe freeze-thaw. Coastal Maine adds salt-air corrosion to the mix. Interior Maine adds extreme cold (sub-zero F for weeks at a time in the western mountains). The roof spec we use in Portland differs from what we’d install in Rangeley.
Coastal saltbox cottages (Camden, Boothbay, Kennebunk). Federal-style brick in Portland. Farmhouse and converted barn in the interior (Bethel, Fryeburg, Western foothills). Down-East coastal capes throughout. Mid-century lakefront camps converted to year-round homes.

Interior Maine’s 100+ inch snow accumulation creates load risk on low-pitch sections. We verify framing capacity before re-roofing any building with significant low-pitch area.
02
Cedar shake roofs failing prematurely
When cedar shakes are installed without Cedar Breather underlayment (which most NE installers skip), they rot from below in 8–15 years. We retrofit with proper underlayment when re-roofing.

Long winters, deep snow, severe freeze-thaw. Coastal Maine adds salt-air corrosion to the mix. Interior Maine adds extreme cold (sub-zero F for weeks at a time in the western mountains). The roof spec we use in Portland differs from what we’d install in Rangeley.
Coastal saltbox cottages (Camden, Boothbay, Kennebunk). Federal-style brick in Portland. Farmhouse and converted barn in the interior (Bethel, Fryeburg, Western foothills). Down-East coastal capes throughout. Mid-century lakefront camps converted to year-round homes.

Roofing for Maine — engineered for the climate and the architecture.
Maine roofs face the longest winters in NE — 100+ inches of snow in interior counties, 70+ inches on the coast, freeze-thaw cycles that last from October through May. The traditional materials work for a reason: cedar shake on coastal saltboxes, standing-seam metal on interior farmhouses. We install both, and we install asphalt for the modern Maine home that wants 30 years of low-maintenance service.

Interior Maine’s 100+ inch snow accumulation creates load risk on low-pitch sections. We verify framing capacity before re-roofing any building with significant low-pitch area.
02
Cedar shake roofs failing prematurely
When cedar shakes are installed without Cedar Breather underlayment (which most NE installers skip), they rot from below in 8–15 years. We retrofit with proper underlayment when re-roofing.

Long winters, deep snow, severe freeze-thaw. Coastal Maine adds salt-air corrosion to the mix. Interior Maine adds extreme cold (sub-zero F for weeks at a time in the western mountains). The roof spec we use in Portland differs from what we’d install in Rangeley.
Coastal saltbox cottages (Camden, Boothbay, Kennebunk). Federal-style brick in Portland. Farmhouse and converted barn in the interior (Bethel, Fryeburg, Western foothills). Down-East coastal capes throughout. Mid-century lakefront camps converted to year-round homes.

Roofing for Maine — engineered for the climate and the architecture.
Maine roofs face the longest winters in NE — 100+ inches of snow in interior counties, 70+ inches on the coast, freeze-thaw cycles that last from October through May. The traditional materials work for a reason: cedar shake on coastal saltboxes, standing-seam metal on interior farmhouses. We install both, and we install asphalt for the modern Maine home that wants 30 years of low-maintenance service.

Long winters, deep snow, severe freeze-thaw. Coastal Maine adds salt-air corrosion to the mix. Interior Maine adds extreme cold (sub-zero F for weeks at a time in the western mountains). The roof spec we use in Portland differs from what we’d install in Rangeley.
Coastal saltbox cottages (Camden, Boothbay, Kennebunk). Federal-style brick in Portland. Farmhouse and converted barn in the interior (Bethel, Fryeburg, Western foothills). Down-East coastal capes throughout. Mid-century lakefront camps converted to year-round homes.
What we see here
Three roofing patterns specific to Maine.
01
Snow load on low-pitch additions and dormers
Interior Maine’s 100+ inch snow accumulation creates load risk on low-pitch sections. We verify framing capacity before re-roofing any building with significant low-pitch area.
02
Cedar shake roofs failing prematurely
When cedar shakes are installed without Cedar Breather underlayment (which most NE installers skip), they rot from below in 8–15 years. We retrofit with proper underlayment when re-roofing.
03
Salt-air corrosion on coastal flashing
Aluminum and galvanized flashing fail in 8–12 years in Maine coastal salt-air. Copper or stainless are the only correct choice for any home within 5 miles of the water.

Roofing for Maine — engineered for the climate and the architecture.
Maine roofs face the longest winters in NE — 100+ inches of snow in interior counties, 70+ inches on the coast, freeze-thaw cycles that last from October through May. The traditional materials work for a reason: cedar shake on coastal saltboxes, standing-seam metal on interior farmhouses. We install both, and we install asphalt for the modern Maine home that wants 30 years of low-maintenance service.

Long winters, deep snow, severe freeze-thaw. Coastal Maine adds salt-air corrosion to the mix. Interior Maine adds extreme cold (sub-zero F for weeks at a time in the western mountains). The roof spec we use in Portland differs from what we’d install in Rangeley.
Coastal saltbox cottages (Camden, Boothbay, Kennebunk). Federal-style brick in Portland. Farmhouse and converted barn in the interior (Bethel, Fryeburg, Western foothills). Down-East coastal capes throughout. Mid-century lakefront camps converted to year-round homes.
What we see here
Three roofing patterns specific to Maine.
01
Snow load on low-pitch additions and dormers
Interior Maine’s 100+ inch snow accumulation creates load risk on low-pitch sections. We verify framing capacity before re-roofing any building with significant low-pitch area.
02
Cedar shake roofs failing prematurely
When cedar shakes are installed without Cedar Breather underlayment (which most NE installers skip), they rot from below in 8–15 years. We retrofit with proper underlayment when re-roofing.
03
Salt-air corrosion on coastal flashing
Aluminum and galvanized flashing fail in 8–12 years in Maine coastal salt-air. Copper or stainless are the only correct choice for any home within 5 miles of the water.

Salt-air corrosion on coastal flashing
Aluminum and galvanized flashing fail in 8–12 years in Maine coastal salt-air. Copper or stainless are the only correct choice for any home within 5 miles of the water.
Roofing for Maine — engineered for the climate and the architecture.
Maine roofs face the longest winters in NE — 100+ inches of snow in interior counties, 70+ inches on the coast, freeze-thaw cycles that last from October through May. The traditional materials work for a reason: cedar shake on coastal saltboxes, standing-seam metal on interior farmhouses. We install both, and we install asphalt for the modern Maine home that wants 30 years of low-maintenance service.
Long winters, deep snow, severe freeze-thaw. Coastal Maine adds salt-air corrosion to the mix. Interior Maine adds extreme cold (sub-zero F for weeks at a time in the western mountains). The roof spec we use in Portland differs from what we’d install in Rangeley.
Coastal saltbox cottages (Camden, Boothbay, Kennebunk). Federal-style brick in Portland. Farmhouse and converted barn in the interior (Bethel, Fryeburg, Western foothills). Down-East coastal capes throughout. Mid-century lakefront camps converted to year-round homes.
What we see here
Three roofing patterns specific to Maine.

Roofing for Maine — engineered for the climate and the architecture.
Maine roofs face the longest winters in NE — 100+ inches of snow in interior counties, 70+ inches on the coast, freeze-thaw cycles that last from October through May. The traditional materials work for a reason: cedar shake on coastal saltboxes, standing-seam metal on interior farmhouses. We install both, and we install asphalt for the modern Maine home that wants 30 years of low-maintenance service.
Long winters, deep snow, severe freeze-thaw. Coastal Maine adds salt-air corrosion to the mix. Interior Maine adds extreme cold (sub-zero F for weeks at a time in the western mountains). The roof spec we use in Portland differs from what we’d install in Rangeley.
Coastal saltbox cottages (Camden, Boothbay, Kennebunk). Federal-style brick in Portland. Farmhouse and converted barn in the interior (Bethel, Fryeburg, Western foothills). Down-East coastal capes throughout. Mid-century lakefront camps converted to year-round homes.

The traditional materials work for a reason: cedar shake on coastal saltboxes, standing-seam metal on interior farmhouses. We install both, and we install asphalt for the modern Maine home that wants 30 years of low-maintenance service.
Long winters, deep snow, severe freeze-thaw. Coastal Maine adds salt-air corrosion to the mix. Interior Maine adds extreme cold (sub-zero F for weeks at a time in the western mountains). The roof spec we use in Portland differs from what we’d install in Rangeley.
Coastal saltbox cottages (Camden, Boothbay, Kennebunk). Federal-style brick in Portland. Farmhouse and converted barn in the interior (Bethel, Fryeburg, Western foothills). Down-East coastal capes throughout. Mid-century lakefront camps converted to year-round homes.
What we see here
Three roofing patterns specific to Maine.
01
Snow load on low-pitch additions and dormers
Interior Maine’s 100+ inch snow accumulation creates load risk on low-pitch sections. We verify framing capacity before re-roofing any building with significant low-pitch area.
02
Cedar shake roofs failing prematurely
When cedar shakes are installed without Cedar Breather underlayment (which most NE installers skip), they rot from below in 8–15 years. We retrofit with proper underlayment when re-roofing.
03
Salt-air corrosion on coastal flashing
Aluminum and galvanized flashing fail in 8–12 years in Maine coastal salt-air. Copper or stainless are the only correct choice for any home within 5 miles of the water.

When cedar shakes are installed without Cedar Breather underlayment (which most NE installers skip), they rot from below in 8–15 years. We retrofit with proper underlayment when re-roofing.
03
Salt-air corrosion on coastal flashing
Aluminum and galvanized flashing fail in 8–12 years in Maine coastal salt-air. Copper or stainless are the only correct choice for any home within 5 miles of the water.
Interior Maine’s 100+ inch snow accumulation creates load risk on low-pitch sections. We verify framing capacity before re-roofing any building with significant low-pitch area.

Roofing for Maine — engineered for the climate and the architecture.
Maine roofs face the longest winters in NE — 100+ inches of snow in interior counties, 70+ inches on the coast, freeze-thaw cycles that last from October through May. The traditional materials work for a reason: cedar shake on coastal saltboxes, standing-seam metal on interior farmhouses. We install both, and we install asphalt for the modern Maine home that wants 30 years of low-maintenance service.

When cedar shakes are installed without Cedar Breather underlayment (which most NE installers skip), they rot from below in 8–15 years. We retrofit with proper underlayment when re-roofing.
03
Salt-air corrosion on coastal flashing
Aluminum and galvanized flashing fail in 8–12 years in Maine coastal salt-air. Copper or stainless are the only correct choice for any home within 5 miles of the water.
Roofing for Maine — engineered for the climate and the architecture.
Maine roofs face the longest winters in NE — 100+ inches of snow in interior counties, 70+ inches on the coast, freeze-thaw cycles that last from October through May. The traditional materials work for a reason: cedar shake on coastal saltboxes, standing-seam metal on interior farmhouses. We install both, and we install asphalt for the modern Maine home that wants 30 years of low-maintenance service.
Long winters, deep snow, severe freeze-thaw. Coastal Maine adds salt-air corrosion to the mix. Interior Maine adds extreme cold (sub-zero F for weeks at a time in the western mountains). The roof spec we use in Portland differs from what we’d install in Rangeley.
Coastal saltbox cottages (Camden, Boothbay, Kennebunk). Federal-style brick in Portland. Farmhouse and converted barn in the interior (Bethel, Fryeburg, Western foothills). Down-East coastal capes throughout. Mid-century lakefront camps converted to year-round homes.
What we see here
Three roofing patterns specific to Maine.

Snow load on low-pitch additions and dormers
Interior Maine’s 100+ inch snow accumulation creates load risk on low-pitch sections. We verify framing capacity before re-roofing any building with significant low-pitch area.

When cedar shakes are installed without Cedar Breather underlayment (which most NE installers skip), they rot from below in 8–15 years. We retrofit with proper underlayment when re-roofing.
03
Salt-air corrosion on coastal flashing
Aluminum and galvanized flashing fail in 8–12 years in Maine coastal salt-air. Copper or stainless are the only correct choice for any home within 5 miles of the water.
Roofing for Maine — engineered for the climate and the architecture.
Maine roofs face the longest winters in NE — 100+ inches of snow in interior counties, 70+ inches on the coast, freeze-thaw cycles that last from October through May. The traditional materials work for a reason: cedar shake on coastal saltboxes, standing-seam metal on interior farmhouses. We install both, and we install asphalt for the modern Maine home that wants 30 years of low-maintenance service.
Long winters, deep snow, severe freeze-thaw. Coastal Maine adds salt-air corrosion to the mix. Interior Maine adds extreme cold (sub-zero F for weeks at a time in the western mountains). The roof spec we use in Portland differs from what we’d install in Rangeley.
Coastal saltbox cottages (Camden, Boothbay, Kennebunk). Federal-style brick in Portland. Farmhouse and converted barn in the interior (Bethel, Fryeburg, Western foothills). Down-East coastal capes throughout. Mid-century lakefront camps converted to year-round homes.
What we see here
Three roofing patterns specific to Maine.

What we see here
Three roofing patterns specific to Maine.
01
Snow load on low-pitch additions and dormers
Interior Maine’s 100+ inch snow accumulation creates load risk on low-pitch sections. We verify framing capacity before re-roofing any building with significant low-pitch area.
02
Cedar shake roofs failing prematurely
When cedar shakes are installed without Cedar Breather underlayment (which most NE installers skip), they rot from below in 8–15 years. We retrofit with proper underlayment when re-roofing.
03
Salt-air corrosion on coastal flashing
Aluminum and galvanized flashing fail in 8–12 years in Maine coastal salt-air. Copper or stainless are the only correct choice for any home within 5 miles of the water.

Roofing for Maine — engineered for the climate and the architecture.
Maine roofs face the longest winters in NE — 100+ inches of snow in interior counties, 70+ inches on the coast, freeze-thaw cycles that last from October through May. The traditional materials work for a reason: cedar shake on coastal saltboxes, standing-seam metal on interior farmhouses.

01
Snow load on low-pitch additions and dormers
Interior Maine’s 100+ inch snow accumulation creates load risk on low-pitch sections. We verify framing capacity before re-roofing any building with significant low-pitch area.
02
Cedar shake roofs failing prematurely
When cedar shakes are installed without Cedar Breather underlayment (which most NE installers skip), they rot from below in 8–15 years. We retrofit with proper underlayment when re-roofing.
03
Salt-air corrosion on coastal flashing
Aluminum and galvanized flashing fail in 8–12 years in Maine coastal salt-air. Copper or stainless are the only correct choice for any home within 5 miles of the water.
Roofing for Maine — engineered for the climate and the architecture.
Maine roofs face the longest winters in NE — 100+ inches of snow in interior counties, 70+ inches on the coast, freeze-thaw cycles that last from October through May. The traditional materials work for a reason: cedar shake on coastal saltboxes, standing-seam metal on interior farmhouses. We install both, and we install asphalt for the modern Maine home that wants 30 years of low-maintenance service.
Long winters, deep snow, severe freeze-thaw. Coastal Maine adds salt-air corrosion to the mix. Interior Maine adds extreme cold (sub-zero F for weeks at a time in the western mountains). The roof spec we use in Portland differs from what we’d install in Rangeley.
Coastal saltbox cottages (Camden, Boothbay, Kennebunk). Federal-style brick in Portland. Farmhouse and converted barn in the interior (Bethel, Fryeburg, Western foothills). Down-East coastal capes throughout. Mid-century lakefront camps converted to year-round homes.

Maine roofs face the longest winters in NE — 100+ inches of snow in interior counties, 70+ inches on the coast, freeze-thaw cycles that last from October through May. The traditional materials work for a reason: cedar shake on coastal saltboxes, standing-seam metal on interior farmhouses. We install both, and we install asphalt for the modern Maine home that wants 30 years of low-maintenance service.
Long winters, deep snow, severe freeze-thaw. Coastal Maine adds salt-air corrosion to the mix. Interior Maine adds extreme cold (sub-zero F for weeks at a time in the western mountains). The roof spec we use in Portland differs from what we’d install in Rangeley.
Coastal saltbox cottages (Camden, Boothbay, Kennebunk). Federal-style brick in Portland. Farmhouse and converted barn in the interior (Bethel, Fryeburg, Western foothills). Down-East coastal capes throughout. Mid-century lakefront camps converted to year-round homes.
What we see here
Three roofing patterns specific to Maine.
01
Snow load on low-pitch additions and dormers
Interior Maine’s 100+ inch snow accumulation creates load risk on low-pitch sections. We verify framing capacity before re-roofing any building with significant low-pitch area.
02
Cedar shake roofs failing prematurely
When cedar shakes are installed without Cedar Breather underlayment (which most NE installers skip), they rot from below in 8–15 years. We retrofit with proper underlayment when re-roofing.
03
Salt-air corrosion on coastal flashing
Aluminum and galvanized flashing fail in 8–12 years in Maine coastal salt-air. Copper or stainless are the only correct choice for any home within 5 miles of the water.
