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.
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.
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.

The climate, in detail
Roofing for the Maine climate.
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 across 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.
