Roof Replacement

A roof replacement in Kennebunk, ME should feel clear and predictable: a clean scope, good materials, and workmanship you can count on. Iron Badger Roofing is owner-operated, and the owner brings 25+ years of hands-on residential construction experience, including roofing. We’ll walk you through what your roof needs, what’s optional, and what’s worth upgrading—without pressure.

Most replacement problems aren’t really “shingle problems.” They’re leak-prone details: chimneys, roof-to-wall transitions, valleys, ventilation, and penetrations. Our quotes are built to address those details in writing so you’re not guessing what’s included.

What We Find on Kennebunk Roof Replacements

Kennebunk’s coastal exposure and winter conditions make proper underlayment, ice & water strategy, and flashing details matter. When we replace roofs in Kennebunk, we commonly see:

Old flashing re-used too many times
Hidden rot at eaves/valleys
Ventilation setups that trap moisture
Leak history around chimneys and dormers

Workmanship warranty: Typical terms by package are listed on our Maine roof replacement page. Your final workmanship term is confirmed in writing with your quote/contract and may vary based on roof type, scope, and the exact system installed.

Roof Replacement FAQ

How do I know if I need replacement vs repair?

If the roof is failing in multiple areas, has widespread shingle damage, or is near end-of-life, replacement usually makes more sense than chasing leaks. We’ll tell you honestly either way.

How long does a roof replacement take?

Most residential roofs are completed efficiently once scheduled. Timeline depends on size, pitch, layers, and weather, but we focus on efficient completion and clean job sites.

Will you replace flashing and vents too?

Yes—flashing is where many leaks start. We address the details (chimneys, step flashing, pipe boots, valleys) so the new roof performs like it should.

Can you help with storm damage insurance claims?

Yes. We can document damage and provide line-item details to support the claim process.

Do you use different materials for Kennebunk’s coastal exposure?

Homes near Dock Square, Lower Village, Gooch’s Beach, and Mother’s Beach take a beating from salt air and strong coastal wind gusts that inland homes rarely see. We typically install GAF Timberline HDZ shingles rated for high wind, or standing-seam metal and slate for even longer-term durability, along with corrosion-resistant flashing and fasteners built to hold up near the coast.

Will you tell me if my decking needs plywood during a Kennebunk roof replacement?

Yes. After tear-off we inspect the decking and document what we find. If there are soft spots, gaps, or damaged areas, we’ll explain the options and confirm any added work in writing before moving forward.
