Your Guide to Finding the Best Roofing Company
Once you’ve determined that you need a new roof, the question becomes, “Which is the best roofing company in Sudbury?” For this, we have a series of considerations to keep in mind when choosing a roofing contractor.
- Look for a company with a long track record. A brand new company could become a success, but it could also fail一potentially before your workmanship warranty is up. It’s best to stick with an established roofing company whenever possible. Ranch Roofing has been serving the area for over 25 years.
- Ask about their license and insurance. Any reputable company will be licensed and insured. Depending on the jurisdiction, some will be bonded, too. This protects the company, its employees, and its customers.
- Find out what’s included. When you have your roof replaced, there are many moving parts. Your roofer should handle pulling the permits, arranging for debris removal, scheduling inspections, and so on. It becomes more complicated when the roofing services aren’t all-inclusive and you have to look for an additional contractor to handle some of these things.
- Ask about installation timeframes. This will vary based on the time of year, how busy the company is, if there are any backorders on materials, and so on, but it’s important to know what to expect. Also, ask how long the roof installation will take. You don’t want the wood under the shingles exposed to the elements for weeks at a time.
- Check online reviews. You have the power of the internet at your fingertips, so be sure to check out the reviews of any roofing company you’re considering.
Recognizing the Signs You Need a New Roof
If your roof is nearing the end of its lifespan, you might be wondering whether it’s time to replace it. Depending on the type of roof you have, it could last 15, 20, 30, or even 50 years; if you have a slate roof, you might even wish your roof a happy 100th birthday!
Most people in the Sudbury area have asphalt shingle roofs, however, and these last between 15 and 20 years, depending on the materials and workmanship.
Here are some of the signs you may need a new roof:
Leaking water
If water is coming into your home, it’s likely that your roof is compromised in some way. You might see water spots, wetness on the wall or floor, a sagging ceiling, or peeling paint.
Torn or worn shingles
After a storm, you might see pieces of shingles on the ground. You might also notice curling, torn, or broken shingles still on the roof.
Mold, mildew, or moss
Mold, algae, and moss often grow on shaded roofs. Sometimes, this requires cleaning, but other times, it’s an indication that the roof is starting to fail.
Fascia or soffit issues
If an ice dam has damaged your roof, sometimes the first indication is in the fascia or soffit.
If you are seeing any of these issues, please give us a call. One of the Ranch Roofing team members would be happy to meet with you and give you a free estimate on a new or repaired roof.
Why We Recommend Architectural Shingles to Residential Customers
Asphalt shingle roofs are among the most popular types in our area. Many homeowners are familiar with the traditional 3-tab style, but at Ranch Roofing, we more often recommend architectural shingles, which are sometimes called dimensional shingles.
These are made from the same asphalt material, but they’re thicker, stronger, and sturdier. They do cost more, and they also carry a higher ROI since they last longer and can increase the value of your home. Here is a list of some of the benefits of architectural shingles:
- They’re thick and come in different textures.
- They last up to 50 years (while traditional 3-tab shingles last up to 30).
- They can be made to look like slate and other materials if desired.
- They add to the curb appeal of your home.
- They are more durable against rain, snow, ice, and wind.
- They can raise your home’s resale value.
It takes experience and expertise to successfully install architectural shingles, and you can depend on Ranch Roofing to create the perfect roof for your home. Contact us to schedule a free consultation and estimate to learn more.

What color shingles last the longest?

Can I have my new roof installed over my old one?
While it’s technically possible in some cases, we don’t install new roofs over old ones at Ranch Roofing. We’ve found that we get much better results by starting fresh. We will handle all debris removal from the tear-off of your old roof.
