Most residential roofs in New Hampshire are designed for 20–40 lbs per square foot of snow load depending on local codes. Wet snow weighs significantly more than dry snow. If you notice ceiling cracks, sticking doors, or visible ridge deflection after heavy snowfall in North Conway, call us immediately — these are signs of structural stress.

Clear the driveway and areas around the house perimeter, move vehicles, and take down any wall decorations or fragile items in the attic. The vibration from installation can dislodge loose items above ceilings.

A flat roof is technically a low-slope roof — typically less than a 2:12 pitch — that uses membrane systems rather than shingles to manage water. They require specific drainage design and different maintenance protocols than pitched roofs.

A hip roof slopes on all four sides, meeting at a central ridge, while a gable roof has two sloping sides and two vertical triangular walls at the ends. Hip roofs generally perform better in high-wind environments because all sides shed wind load.

Roof pitch describes the steepness of a roof as a ratio of vertical rise to horizontal run, expressed as X:12. A 4:12 pitch rises 4 inches for every 12 inches of horizontal distance. Pitch affects material selection, drainage performance, and installation cost.

Yes. Mold can begin colonizing wet building materials within 24-72 hours under the right conditions. A roof leak that saturates insulation, sheathing, or framing creates conditions where mold establishes quickly, particularly in warm and humid climates.

A roof penetration is any element that passes through the roof surface — plumbing vents, HVAC equipment, skylights, chimneys. Each penetration requires a flashing system to prevent water entry and is a regular inspection focus point.

A starter strip is a pre-cut roofing product installed at the eave and rake edges before the first course of shingles. It provides a sealed edge that prevents wind from lifting the bottom course of field shingles.

Most residential roofing is priced by the square (100 square feet), with adjustments for roof complexity, pitch, waste factor, and material grade. Accessory items like flashing, underlayment, and decking replacement are typically line-itemed separately.

A workmanship warranty is the contractor's guarantee that the installation was performed correctly. It covers failures caused by installation errors as opposed to material defects, which are covered by the manufacturer's warranty. Duration varies — typically 1-10 years depending on the contractor.

Most asphalt shingle roofs last 20-30 years depending on the product grade, climate exposure, and maintenance history. In areas with extreme temperature swings or frequent storms, service life often falls toward the lower end of that range.

Common indicators include water stains on ceilings or walls, granules accumulating in gutters, shingles that are curling, cracking, or missing, and visible daylight through the attic. Any of these warrants a professional inspection.
