Newton Roof Pros provides professional wind damage roof repair in Newton, MA for residential and commercial properties across Middlesex County and the inner-western suburbs. Wind is the storm loss that actually matters in Middlesex County. Nor'easters run for a day and a half, tropical remnants arrive already weakened but still wet, and both of them find the same weaknesses on a Newton roof: the ridge, the rakes and the first course above the eave.
Steep is the local complication. Newton's gables, gambrels and cross-hipped Colonial Revivals put a great deal of roof at 9:12 and steeper, and the plane that catches an easterly gust at that pitch is under uplift, not down-pressure. Ridge caps that were hand-sealed on a cold October afternoon and never bonded are the first thing to go, and they go in a strip rather than one at a time.
Our repair standard is starter course at both the eave and the rake. A great many Newton roofs were installed with a cut-shingle starter at the eave only, leaving the rake edge relying on field adhesive that stopped working around year twelve. Correcting that on the two windward planes costs a fraction of a replacement and removes the failure mode that produced your last three claims.
Fastening is the other half. We use ring-shank nails, six per shingle above 8:12, driven flush rather than overdriven, into a deck we have already checked for holding power. Plank sheathing that has been nailed through four times since 1912 does not hold a smooth-shank fastener, and a nail that spins in the hole is a shingle that is already gone.
Where a rake board has torn away and taken the fly rafter with it, that stops being roof covering work. Replacing a fly rafter or a rafter tail is structural, and a specialty roof covering license does not authorize it. We say so at the estimate and put the correct supervisor on the permit rather than discovering it once the staging is up.
Expect us to talk you out of a full replacement more often than into one after a wind event. Two windward planes redone properly, with new starter, new drip edge and correctly bedded ridge, will usually outlast the leeward planes that were never touched. Replacing all nine planes because two failed is a claim strategy, not a roofing one. We will put both numbers on paper and let you decide which one you are buying.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — 1x6 plank sheathing with open board gaps, half-inch CDX re-sheathing overlay, ice barrier carried two feet inside the warm wall, unfading Vermont slate on copper slate hooks, 16-ounce copper open valleys, lead-wedged counterflashing in soft lime mortar — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Newton and nearby communities including Waltham, Watertown, Brookline, Needham.

Materials, equipment and how we do wind damage roof repair
The difference between wind damage roof repair that lasts and wind damage roof repair that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with 1x6 plank sheathing with open board gaps, half-inch CDX re-sheathing overlay, ice barrier carried two feet inside the warm wall, unfading Vermont slate on copper slate hooks, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Newton job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. Years of roofing work in Middlesex County and the inner-western suburbs means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

- ✓We file the building permit under our own license, which is what keeps your Guaranty Fund eligibility intact if anything ever goes wrong.
