What We Do | Bowdoinham Roofing & Maintenance Roofing Services
From quick fixes to major projects, Bowdoinham Roofing & Maintenance has been the roofing contractor Bowdoinham homeowners call for 12 years. Here's a rundown of what we offer.
Roof Replacement
The average roof replacement in Bowdoinham takes one day for a standard residential home. Larger or steeper roofs might take two. Either way, we don't leave a house uncovered overnight. If we tear it off, we cover it before we leave. No exceptions.

Quick repairs prevent expensive problems. A $400 flashing fix today prevents $4,000 of interior water damage next year. If a repair makes sense, we recommend it. If your roof is too far gone, we'll be straight about that too. Either way, you get an honest answer and a written quote.

New construction underlayment per IRC R905 and ASTM D226 (felt) or ASTM D6757 (synthetic). Ice barrier per ASTM D1970 required at eaves in climate zones with average January temperature below 25°F. We install ice and water shield regardless. It's cheap insurance against ice dams and wind-driven rain. Drip edge per IRC R905.2.8.5 on eave and rake edges. Proper starter strip with factory sealant for wind resistance from day one.

We install 24-gauge and 26-gauge steel standing seam panels in Galvalume and pre-painted finishes. Concealed fastener clips allow the panels to expand and contract with temperature changes without stress on the fasteners. That's why standing seam doesn't leak. The clips float.

The difference between a cheap shingle roof and a quality one comes down to the system underneath. Shingles are only the outer layer. Ice and water shield in the valleys, synthetic underlayment across the deck, proper starter strip with factory adhesive, correct nailing pattern. That's what makes a shingle roof last in Maine's weather.

PVC membrane for Bowdoinham restaurants, commercial kitchens, and facilities with rooftop grease exhaust or chemical exposure. PVC resists oils and animal fats that destroy TPO and EPDM membranes. We install IB Roof Systems and Duro-Last PVC with factory-fabricated accessories for watertight penetration details. Built-up roofing (BUR) uses 3 or 4 plies of fiberglass felt in hot asphalt with a gravel or cap sheet surface. Oldest proven flat roof system, with 30+ year service life in Maine. We still install BUR when the application calls for it.

For commercial kitchens and restaurants in Bowdoinham, PVC membrane is the only option that resists animal fat and chemical exposure from rooftop grease exhaust. We install IB Roof Systems and Duro-Last PVC with heat-welded seams and custom accessories. Modified bitumen with SBS or APP polymer-modified asphalt for high-traffic commercial roofs. Two-ply systems with 20-year NDL (No Dollar Limit) warranties from Johns Manville or Firestone.
