The Right Way to Replace a Roof in New England
A roof replacement is one of the largest investments a homeowner makes — and in Southeastern Massachusetts, it comes with specific considerations that don't apply everywhere else. New England coastal weather, Massachusetts building code requirements, and the long-term consequences of cutting corners all factor into what a proper roof replacement actually looks like.
A-American Remodeling Co, Inc. has completed over 2,000 roofing and exterior projects across Plymouth County, Bristol County, and the surrounding region since 1988. Every replacement we install begins with a complete tear-off — no shortcuts, no overlays — because that's the only way to protect both your home and your investment long-term.

What Is a Full Roof Replacement?
A full roof replacement means removing every layer of existing material down to the wood deck, inspecting and repairing the structural sheathing where needed, and installing a completely new roofing system from the deck up. At A-American, this is the only method we use.
Some contractors offer overlays — installing new shingles directly on top of the old layer. While faster and cheaper upfront, overlays create real problems:
- Massachusetts State Building Code prohibits a third layer — if your roof already has two layers, an overlay is illegal
- Overlays can reduce the lifespan of a new roof by up to 20% by trapping heat and moisture between layers
- A hidden rotted deck goes undetected until it becomes a far more expensive structural repair
- Most manufacturer warranties are voided by overlay installations

Massachusetts Building Code
Massachusetts Roofing Regulations You Need to Know
Massachusetts has some of the most specific roofing requirements in the country, driven by the state's snow load exposure, freeze-thaw cycles, and coastal wind conditions.
Two-Layer Limit
State Building Code prohibits installing new shingles over a roof that already has two layers. A complete deck tear-off is legally required in these situations. A-American performs full tear-off on every project.
Ice & Water Shield
Code mandates an ice and water shield membrane from the eave's edge to a point at least 24 inches inside the interior wall line — critical protection against the ice dam infiltration common to New England winters.
Local Permitting
A building permit must be pulled through your local town hall before work begins — whether that's Dartmouth, Plymouth, Taunton, or Raynham. This protects your homeowner's insurance policy validity. We handle all permit coordination.
Material Selection
Shingle Options for Southeastern Massachusetts Homes
We work with several shingle systems depending on your home's exposure, your budget, and how long you plan to stay in the property:
- Architectural (Dimensional) ShinglesThe standard for most residential replacements. More durable than 3-tab, with typical lifespans of 25–30 years.
- Impact-Resistant ShinglesClass 4 rated for hail and debris impact. Popular in coastal areas and often eligible for homeowner's insurance discounts.
- Premium 50-Year ShinglesHeavier, thicker, and better performing under high wind and snow load. A strong choice for homeowners who want a one-and-done installation.
- Metal RoofingStanding seam and metal panel systems with 40–70 year lifespans and minimal maintenance requirements.

Our Process
The A-American Replacement Process
Every replacement follows the same methodical sequence — because skipping any step is how a 30-year roof becomes a 12-year problem.
Permit Application
We submit all required permit applications to your local building department before the job is scheduled.
Full Tear-Off
Every layer of existing material is removed down to the wood deck. Rolling magnets sweep the yard for nails after tear-off.
Deck Inspection
We inspect sheathing for rot, soft spots, and compromised fastening. Any repairs are addressed before installation begins.
Ice & Water Shield
Installed along eaves, valleys, and all penetrations per Massachusetts code before underlayment goes down.
Shingle Installation
New shingles installed per manufacturer specifications to preserve full warranty coverage.
Flashing & Penetrations
All roof penetrations — pipe boots, chimneys, skylights, vents — re-flashed with new material.
Final Inspection
We conduct a full walkthrough and coordinate the required building inspector sign-off.
Complete Cleanup
Full site cleanup including magnetic sweep of yard and driveway. We leave like we were never there.

A-American roofing did an amazing job on our new roof. I saw something that had to be addressed and they quickly fixed it to my liking. They completed and cleaned up like they were never there.
A American replaced my roof in one day. When the job was finished they cleaned everywhere around the house, including using a magnet to make sure there were no nails left in the grass!
They did a great job — very organized, speedy, professional and cleaned up superbly. Thank you.
