Iron Badger Roofing is owner-operated, backed by 25+ years hands-on experience in residential construction, including roofing.

We install asphalt shingles (including GAF systems), metal roofing, and other specialty materials depending on the project. Your quote will spell out what’s included—especially around chimneys, valleys, roof-to-wall transitions, and ventilation—because that’s where roofs usually fail first.

What We Find on Wells Roof Replacements
In Wells, the roofs that perform best long-term are the ones built with the edges and leak points in mind. During replacements we often find:
- Soft decking at eaves/valleys from long-term minor leaks
- Old flashing that should be rebuilt while the roof is open
- Ventilation that needs adjustment for moisture control
- Wind-exposed ridge and rake edges needing higher-spec details
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 Wells’s coastal exposure?
Homes near Wells Beach, Drakes Island, Moody Beach, and the Wells Harbor area 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.
Can you replace a roof in Wells if I’m not at the property full-time?
Yes, as long as we can coordinate access and communication. We can review photos, confirm scope, and keep you updated with documentation so you’re not guessing what’s happening on-site.
