The Sandown roofer Sandown homeowners already call.
Sandown homes sit in the woods. That means shaded north faces, moss along the eaves, ice that builds in the same spot every February, and pine branches that come through the shingles after a nor'easter. We work the neighborhoods around Main Street, Angle Pond, and the Hampstead and Danville town lines.
We work the whole roof, not just the shingle. Decking condition, ice and water shield in the valleys and at the eaves, attic ventilation, flashing around chimneys and pipe boots, ridge caps, gutter pitch. The roof you don't see is usually the reason the roof you do see is leaking.
"Dan responded promptly, came out the same day to assess the problem, and had a crew on-site later that week to complete the repairs." That's a real review from a Sandown homeowner on Birdeye. It's also a pretty average week around here.
What roofing services do you offer in Sandown?
Most leaks aren't a shingle problem. They're a flashing problem, a ventilation problem, or a gutter problem with a shingle on top. We inspect all of it before we recommend anything.
Residential Roof Replacement
Tear-off, deck check, ice and water shield at the eaves and valleys, proper ventilation, new shingles, manufacturer-backed warranty. Most Sandown asphalt residential roofs get done in a day.
See residential roofing →Roof Repair & Leak Diagnosis
Single-spot leaks, chimney flashing failure, pipe boot replacements, storm-damaged shingles. We trace the leak back to the actual failure point, not the spot where the water shows up.
Talk about a repair →Commercial & Flat Roofs
EPDM rubber, low-slope membrane, edge metal, penetrations sealed. Small commercial in Sandown, multifamily, additions, garages. We handle seams, drains, and long-term maintenance access.
See commercial roofing →Gutters & Drainage
Seamless aluminum or copper, properly pitched and sized for the roof above them. Half of the fascia rot we end up repairing started with a gutter that overflowed at the corner for five winters.
See gutter services →Ice & Snow Removal
Steam removal. No chipping, no chunks taken out of your gutter. New England winters do this and we've been removing ice dams every February for decades.
See ice & snow removal →Siding Installation & Repair
If the roof needs replacing, the siding around the rake and the soffit usually needs attention too. Vinyl, fiber cement, repairs around new chimneys and dormers. Done together so the trim lines match.

Free inspection & written estimate
We inspect the decking, flashing, ventilation, and gutters. You get a written estimate with what needs doing. If a repair will hold rather than a full replacement, we'll tell you.

Roof replacement questions from Sandown, NH homeowners
Do I need a full roof replacement, or can it be repaired?
If you've got curling shingles across the whole roof, granules washing into the gutters, recurring leaks in more than one spot, or a roof past 20 years old, you're probably looking at a replacement. Single-area leaks, flashing failures, pipe boot replacements, or storm-damaged sections can usually be repaired. We inspect the decking and flashing before we tell you which one it is. If a $400 repair will buy you five more years, we'll tell you.
How long does a roof replacement take in Sandown, NH?
Most asphalt residential replacements get done in one day. Larger homes, slate, or jobs where we have to pull damaged decking can take two to three days. You'll know which one your house is at the estimate.
How much does a new roof cost in Sandown, NH?
Most full asphalt residential replacements in this market run in the $9,000 to $18,000 range depending on size, pitch, decking condition, and how many layers we're tearing off. Slate, metal, and complicated cuts run higher. We don't quote sight-unseen because every roof is different, but we do quote in writing before any work is scheduled.
Will the crew clean up after themselves?
Yes. Tarps cover the landscaping while we work. A magnet rolls the lawn for nails when we're done. The trailer leaves with the old roof. You shouldn't be picking up debris the next morning, and no one should be pulling 200 nails out of the yard a week later.
What's the warranty?
Materials get a manufacturer-backed lifetime warranty through GAF. Our workmanship and materials are covered under a 14-year warranty. Paperwork is in your hands before we drive away. We've been at the same phone number since 1976, so the warranty isn't from a company that disappears next spring.
Do you handle storm damage and insurance claims?
We document the damage with photos and a written assessment for your insurance carrier. The claim is between you and your insurer, but we'll give you the documentation you need to support it.
Do you offer financing?
Yes. We work with financing partners so a new roof doesn't have to come out of one paycheck. Terms get sorted at the estimate stage so there are no surprises.
Are you licensed and insured?
Fully licensed and insured. We carry general liability and workers' compensation. Insurance and license documentation is available on request before any work is scheduled.
Is Merrimack Valley Roofing a DBA?
Yes. The customer-facing brand is Merrimack Valley Roofing, a DBA of Merrimack Valley Roofing and Gutters LLC, family-run since 1976 and serving Southern New Hampshire, Northeast Massachusetts, and Southern Maine.
