# Newton Roofing

> Newton Roofing is a call line that connects homeowners in Newton, Massachusetts and the towns around it, including Waltham and Watertown, with an independent local roofing contractor, who does the work. Newton has 13 villages and older housing, with a median construction year of 1942 and about 49 percent of homes built before 1940, and slate roofs are found on some historic Waban homes. Boston averages about 44 inches of snow a year, and ice dams, winter wind and summer thunderstorms are the usual reasons to call, along with leaks, flashing, chimneys, gutters and full replacements, which need a building permit. Call the number on this page, say what you can see from the ground, and you are put through to a roofer who serves your town.

## Pricing and answers

- [Price guide](https://newtonroofing.shop/pricing/): typical price ranges for every service
- [FAQ](https://newtonroofing.shop/faq/)
- [How Much Does a New Roof Cost in Newton, MA? Why the Published Guides Disagree](https://newtonroofing.shop/guides/how-much-does-a-new-roof-cost-in-newton-ma/): Published guides do not agree. This Old House gives a Massachusetts average of $7,361, with most roofs between $5,748 and $17,575, while other guides run $10,000 to $36,000. These are third-party estimates, not Newton Roofing prices. The real figure for a Newton house is set by a roofer after inspecting it.
- [Do I Need a Permit to Replace a Roof in Newton, MA?](https://newtonroofing.shop/guides/do-i-need-a-permit-to-replace-a-roof-in-newton/): Yes. A full roof replacement in Newton needs a building permit, while minor repairs generally do not. In Massachusetts the permit is normally pulled by the holder of a Construction Supervisor Licence, and the contractor should be a registered Home Improvement Contractor. Confirm your exact case with the Newton building department.
- [Does a Massachusetts Roofer Need a Licence? HIC and CSL Explained](https://newtonroofing.shop/guides/massachusetts-roofing-contractor-registration-hic-csl/): Massachusetts issues no roofing licence. Contractors doing work on homes register as Home Improvement Contractors with the Office of Consumer Affairs and Business Regulation, and the building permit for roof work is normally pulled by the holder of a Construction Supervisor Licence from the Board of Building Regulations and Standards.
- [Ice Dams in Newton: What Causes Them and What Fixes Them](https://newtonroofing.shop/guides/ice-dams-in-newton-causes-and-fixes/): Ice dams form when heat from the living space and air leaks melts snow on the warm part of the roof, and the water refreezes at the cold eaves. The lasting fix is in the attic: air sealing, insulation and ventilation. Massachusetts code also calls for an ice barrier at eaves where ice has a history.
- [Slate Roofs in Newton and Chestnut Hill: Repair or Replace?](https://newtonroofing.shop/guides/slate-roofs-newton-chestnut-hill-repair-or-replace/): Most slate roofs are repaired rather than replaced, because the slate itself often outlasts the nails, flashing and valleys around it. Published guides give slate 75 to 100 years or more. A roofer who knows slate decides on the roof itself, and historic district rules may limit what you can swap in.
- [Flat Roofs on Triple-Deckers: EPDM and Low-Slope Repair](https://newtonroofing.shop/guides/flat-roofs-on-triple-deckers-epdm-and-low-slope-repair/): Flat roofs on triple-deckers usually fail at seams, drains, parapet walls and penetrations rather than across the open field. EPDM, a rubber membrane, is the common repair or replacement in Boston-area guides. A roofer should trace the leak before patching, and shared buildings need agreement among owners first.
- [How Long Does a Roof Last in Massachusetts?](https://newtonroofing.shop/guides/how-long-does-a-roof-last-in-massachusetts/): Published guides give asphalt shingles 20 to 30 years, cedar 30 to 40 and slate 75 to 100 or more. Those are third-party figures, not promises. In Massachusetts, snow, ice dams, freeze-thaw cycles and attic heat can shorten them, so the condition of your own roof matters more than its date.
- [Roofing Contracts in Massachusetts: Deposits and the Three-Day Cancellation Right](https://newtonroofing.shop/guides/massachusetts-roofing-contract-deposit-and-cancellation-rights/): A third-party guide reports that a Massachusetts home improvement contract over $1,000 must be in writing with the contractor's HIC number, that the deposit may not exceed one third, and that you can cancel within three days. The guide points readers to mass.gov for the rule, so check it there before you sign.
