Licensing in Massachusetts

In Massachusetts, roofers working on 1- and 2-family homes generally need a Construction Supervisor License (a Roof Covering specialty license exists), and contractors working on owner-occupied homes of 1-4 units must also be registered as Home Improvement Contractors. Homeowners can check both credentials on the state's online lookup tools. Home Improvement Contractor registration lookup: https://contractorhub.mass.gov/s/hic-contractor-search Before you hire, check the contractor's record with the Massachusetts Office of Public Safety and Inspections.

Replacing a roof in Plymouth

If you own your home in Plymouth, as about 80 percent of occupants do, the decision about a new roof is likely yours to make. It helps to know what pushes a roof from patching into replacement territory: a covering that has simply aged out, curling and missing shingles scattered over every slope, a deck that has taken on water, or layers piled on from earlier jobs.

Weather data gives two specific things to raise. The local forecast zone counted 74 high wind events, so ask about the shingle's wind classification and how the eaves and rakes will be secured. Plymouth County also had 22 hail reports with stones up to 1.75 inches, which makes impact-rated shingles worth comparing.

Your contractor should also walk you through material options, the order of the work and the rough timeframe, the manufacturer's warranty that applies to the products used, and how the existing roof will be stripped, collected and carted off the property.

Replacing a roof here generally requires a building permit from the Town of Plymouth Building Department. Ask directly who will file it and when, and keep a copy with your project paperwork.
