Roofing Services in Greene, Rhode Island
A significant portion of homes in Greene were built between 1955 and 1985 — a period when roofing materials and installation standards were different from today's code requirements. The original organic felt underlayment on these roofs is long past its service life. The galvanized steel flashing has typically corroded through at one or more points. The 3-tab shingles, if original, have exceeded their design life by a decade or more. We've inspected enough Kent County homes from this era to know what we're likely to find — and what it means for the homeowner.
We are licensed roofing contractors in Rhode Island and maintain continuous insurance coverage. Unlicensed work exposes homeowners to liability; we make documentation easy to verify.
With a median home vintage of 1971, much of Greene's housing stock in Kent County is now 55 years old. Roofs installed during original construction are at or near the end of their rated service life — asphalt architectural shingles carry 25–30 year manufacturer ratings under ideal conditions, which rarely describe a roof that has seen 55 winters and summers without a professional evaluation. A condition assessment costs a fraction of what an undiscovered leak will.
