Why Maine Homeowners Trust Newcomb Builders for Roofing
People across Androscoggin County turn to Newcomb Builders for roofing because we work the way Mainers expect—reliable, straightforward, and responsive. We answer calls quickly, provide honest assessments, and keep our projects moving. Every roof we install is built to perform through long winters and freeze-thaw cycles that test lesser materials. We use time-tested building methods and premium products, but what makes us different is consistency. You'll know who's managing your project, when we're arriving, and what's happening next.
Roof Installation and Replacement
A well-built roof protects the structure beneath it and improves the value of your home. Our crews handle roof replacements on both new and existing homes throughout Central Maine.
Complete Roof Replacement
We remove old roofing, inspect the sheathing and framing, and make any needed repairs before installation. This prevents hidden issues from shortening the lifespan of your new roof. We install durable underlayments and flashing at valleys, ridges, and around penetrations to keep water out.
Roof Installation for New Homes
When building a new house, we coordinate with framers and insulation teams to time roofing work correctly. This integration keeps the home dry early in construction and avoids costly delays.
Structural Considerations
We design and install roofs for Maine's snow loads, using proper framing, ice and water shields, and venting to reduce condensation and ice damming. Each system meets or exceeds local building requirements and is built to handle years of extreme weather.
Roof Repairs and Emergency Service
When a roof leaks, quick action prevents bigger problems. Our repair services address damage from storms, fallen branches, or aging materials before it spreads to ceilings or walls.
Emergency Roof Repairs
Maine storms can strike at any time. We respond promptly to emergency calls with temporary protection such as tarping and patching, followed by permanent repairs once conditions allow.
Leak Detection and Repairs
Our inspection process identifies the true source of a leak, which is often not where the water appears inside. We replace flashing, underlayment, and damaged shingles or panels as needed to restore full integrity.
Storm Damage Assessments
If you're dealing with insurance claims after a storm, we can document the damage, meet with the adjuster, and prepare an accurate repair estimate. Our goal is to restore your roof quickly without confusion or hidden costs.
Roofing Materials That Last, Even in Maine
Different materials perform differently in Maine's climate, so we help homeowners choose what works best for their property and budget.
Asphalt Roofing
Asphalt shingles remain the most common roofing material in Central Maine because they provide strong weather resistance at a reasonable cost. Modern shingles resist algae, handle high winds, and come in a variety of colors that complement local architecture.
Metal Roofing
Metal roofs are gaining popularity thanks to their durability and snow-shedding performance. Standing seam panels lock moisture out and stay secure under wind and ice. Metal roofing can last fifty years or more, making it a strong choice for long-term value.
Premium Options
Slate, synthetic slate, and composite materials would be considered high end materials, and we are happy to talk through your options. We install these for homeowners who want traditional Maine character paired with modern performance. Specialized installation ensures these heavy materials remain watertight through decades of freeze-thaw cycles.
Ice, Snow, and Weather Protection
Maine roofs face conditions that demand specific building practices. We incorporate several layers of defense into every roof we install.
Ice Dam Prevention
Ice dams form when heat escapes from the attic and melts snow unevenly. Our installations include proper insulation, ridge venting, and ice and water membranes along eaves to prevent backflow and leaks.
Snow Load Management
We calculate snow loads for each structure based on roof pitch and region. The correct truss or rafter design, combined with strategic venting, prevents structural stress and moisture buildup.
Moisture Control
Flashing, drip edges, and vapor barriers are installed carefully to keep condensation from reaching framing. These measures protect both your roof and your attic insulation from long-term damage.
Roofing Costs and Estimates
Roofing prices vary widely based on materials, slope, and accessibility, but we provide clear estimates that outline labor, materials, and disposal. A typical asphalt roof replacement in Central Maine ranges from $9,000 to $18,000, while standing seam metal roofs generally fall between $20,000 and $40,000 depending on size. Each estimate includes ventilation improvements and cleanup. We'll review each cost category with you before work begins so there are no surprises.

A Roofing Process You Can Trust
Every roofing project at Newcomb Builders follows a clear, organized process that keeps communication open and the work consistent. We begin with a detailed inspection to evaluate your current roof and identify any underlying issues. You'll receive a written estimate that explains materials, labor, and timelines in plain language. Once the plan is approved, our team schedules the project and prepares the site carefully to protect your property. During installation, we maintain clean work areas and document progress daily so you know what's happening without having to ask. When the roof is complete, we walk the property with you, review the work in person, and confirm that ventilation, flashing, and finishes meet our standards. The result is a roof built to handle Maine's weather and backed by a company you can reach any time you need us.

Most asphalt roofs last about twenty to twenty-five years, while metal can exceed forty. Weather exposure and maintenance play a big role. If you notice curling shingles, missing granules, or water stains indoors, it may be time to inspect for replacement.
Look for leaks after storms, sagging decking, or shingles lifting in the wind. Even small issues can lead to major water damage if ignored. We recommend professional inspections every few years, especially before and after winter.
Yes. While more expensive up front, metal roofing lasts roughly twice as long as asphalt and sheds snow easily. Many homeowners also notice improved energy efficiency and lower maintenance over time.
We repair roofs year-round. In winter, we use specialized materials and techniques to adhere properly in cold conditions. If full replacement isn't possible due to weather, we perform temporary fixes to prevent leaks until spring.
Yes. We assist with storm damage claims from start to finish, including documentation, adjuster meetings, and cost verification. Homeowners often find this simplifies the claims process considerably.
Absolutely. We handle roofing for both new homes and remodels. Because we're a full-service general contractor, our roofing crews coordinate directly with framing and insulation teams.
Most homes are completed in two to five days, depending on roof size and weather. Our team maintains a steady pace and communicates any schedule adjustments immediately.
Metal roofs shed snow efficiently, preventing buildup and ice dams. Steeper-pitched asphalt roofs also perform well when properly vented and insulated.
Good attic insulation, ridge venting, and ice and water shields near eaves are the best defenses. We inspect each attic space during roofing work to confirm airflow and insulation are balanced.
We can recommend financing partners that specialize in residential roofing and home improvement projects. Many homeowners choose these plans to spread costs without delaying needed work.
We check shingles or panels, flashing, underlayment, gutters, attic ventilation, and roof decking. Our reports outline current conditions, estimated remaining life, and any maintenance needed.
Yes. Newcomb Builders holds all required Maine licenses and carries full liability and workers' compensation insurance.
