A professionally installed asphalt shingle roof typically lasts 25 to 30 years, depending on the quality of the materials used, ventilation, and local weather conditions. With proper maintenance, some roofing systems can last even longer.

Our roofing contractors in Reading, MA specialize in installing asphalt shingle roofing, which is the most common choice for residential homes in this region due to its durability and weather resistance, as well as rubber roofing. We also service some low-slope and flat roofs on a case-by-case basis. If you’re unsure about your roof type, we’re happy to take a look.

I recently worked on a home in Reading, MA, where the roof had reached the end of its life. It was leaking at the peak, and after inspecting from the attic, I discovered the ridge vent had been overcut by a previous roofer. This was allowing wind-driven rain to enter from the top. On top of that, the ventilation was inadequate, and the bathroom vent was dumping moisture straight into the attic instead of outside—creating a perfect environment for future problems.

We stripped the old roof and installed Owens Corning Duration® architectural shingles in Sienna Gray. These are top-tier 50-year architectural shingles with a reinforced nailing strip, giving them a 130 mph wind load rating—far superior to many competitors’ products. To protect against ice dams, we added six feet of Owens Corning’s WeatherLock® Flex ice and water shield at the base of the roof, one of the best barriers available.

We fixed the ventilation issues by sealing off the old gable vents from the inside, installing Owens Corning InFlow® vents at the base of both the front and rear roofs to bring in fresh air, and repairing the overcut ridge vent by adding plywood where needed. Then we installed a new Owens Corning baffled ridge vent correctly, ensuring a balanced system where fresh air enters low and escapes high. We also replaced all the old pipe boots, which had started to crack and leak.

Because we’re an Owens Corning certified contractor, this homeowner now has a complete roofing system with a 50-year non-prorated warranty—covering 100% of labor, materials, and disposal if anything goes wrong. In the end, they were thrilled to have a roof that’s not only beautiful but also built to last for decades.
