Roof Leak and Emergency Roof Repair in Lewiston
Roofs here in Lewiston work hard all winter, weathering heavy snows, cold drafts, ice dams, high winds, and everything else Mother Nature throws our way, (especially the April 2024 Nor’easter). It results in wear and tear and roof leaks come February & March. Mix in the wallops Lewiston gets in spring, and roof leaks are unfortunately part of the menu for Lewistonians.
Here’s what we do best:
- We spot and fix leaks around your chimneys, plumbing vents, and skylights.
- Cracked, curled, or blown off shingles post-storm.
- Any extensive water damage courtesy of ice dams.
- Split seams and blisters on older flat roofs.
If you’re seeing water coming through your ceiling, don’t hesitate to give us a call; we answer from morning till night, and we’ll stop the leak and protect your home. Then we’ll walk you through a roof repair that’ll last a long time.
Flat Roofs and Rubber Roofing for Lewiston’s Multi-Family Homes
Lewiston grew as a mill town, and that meant workers needed easy access to the mills along the Androscoggin, so builders wasted no time filling down town and the Tree Streets with multi-family homes. A ton of them are triple-deckers with flat/low sloped roofs. A lot of those roofs are still covered with old gravel & tar roofing.
Shingles won’t do the job right here; they can’t keep water off of a roof that flat. You need a waterproof layer, and that’s exactly why we install EPDM roofing in Lewiston, ME.
Here’s what a typical job looks like:
- A full tear-off of the old tar, gravel, or rolled roofing (all the way down to the deck).
- Deck repairs anywhere there’s rot, so the new roof sits on solid, untarnished wood.
- An EPDM membrane with sealed seams and new metal edging.
Roof Inspections and Attic Ventilation for Lewiston Homes
A lot of the homes here in the Lew sprang up well before people really cared for proper attic ventilation. When the warm, trapped attic air warms up the ice on your roof, it melts and the water runs to the cold eaves and refreezes into an ice dam. Fixing that starts with a good roof inspection in Lewiston.
Here’s what our roof inspection and ventilation services cover:
- Shingles, flashing & seals around everything
- Any signs of moisture or frost in your attic.
- Intake and exhaust vents; that’s to make sure air can move from the soffits up to the ridge.
- Insulation gaps that let heat leak into the attic, leading to ice dams.

Roofing Services Frequently Asked Questions
Here are answers to the questions Lewiston homeowners ask us most.
Do I need to leave my home during a roof replacement?
No, you likely will be able to stay home and won’t need to vacate during the roof replacement process. Just be advised that there may be loud noises occurring while our roofers perform the job, so you may prefer to leave if you need a quiet space.
Can I count on my homeowners’ insurance to cover replacing my roof?
You’ll need to check the exact terms of your insurance policy to know for sure, but many policies do cover roof replacement due to damage from storms or fallen trees. For simple wear and tear due to aging roofs, however, that’s not often covered.
What are the lifespans of asphalt shingle and metal roofing?
Asphalt shingle roofing lasts between 20 and 30 years, whereas metal roofing can last 40 to 70 years with proper upkeep.
How long does it take to perform roof repair?
If your repair is minor or isolated, you can expect it to be finished within a matter of hours. If there’s damage to the structure of your roof, however, you may be looking at a full day of work or even multiple days.
How frequently should I get my roof inspected?
You should get your roof inspected at least once annually. You may need more frequent inspections if you experience bad storms.
Is metal roofing durable?
Metal roofing can hold up during the inclement weather events that can occur in Lewiston, ME, including strong winds, hail, heavy rain, and snow.
Can I get roof installation in any season of the year?
It’s best to get your roof installed when the weather is mild and dry, but our experienced roofers can perform roof installations at any time of the year, if needed.
What causes ice dams on Lewiston roofs?
Ice dams happen because the heat from your attic melts the snow on your roof. The water rushes down to the cold edge of the roof and freezes over again. Attic ventilation and insulation are usually great fixes here, which we can help you with.
