02 / BEFORE YOU HIRE
The lowest price only tells you so much. These three checks help you understand who you’re hiring and what you’re paying for.
Maine does not license general contractors or roofers. Check references, insurance and the written scope rather than relying on a statewide roofing-license claim.

Two prices are only comparable when they cover the same work. Get the hidden extras into the conversation early.
“Licensed and insured.”
Maine does not license general contractors or roofers. Check references, insurance and the written scope rather than relying on a statewide roofing-license claim.
“A roof with a lifetime warranty.”
Ask for the material warranty and the roofer’s workmanship warranty separately. Their coverage and conditions can be different.
Illustrative wording. Read the actual terms in your own quote.
03 / YOUR ROOF IN MAINE
If you are replacing the roof, ask about the layers beneath the surface as well as the finished look.
Ask how the quote handles roof-deck attachment, sealing and roof edges. IBHS’s FORTIFIED guidance explains why these details matter when wind and rain test a roof.

of recorded days with thunderstorm wind fell in June through September.
Use the history to plan a conversation about materials and inspections. A statewide pattern cannot tell you whether your home was hit.
Each calendar day with at least one NOAA report of thunderstorm wind is counted once across Maine. Only complete years, 2017–2025, are included. There are 126 such days in this window. Reports describe weather, not damaged homes or separate storms. This series excludes non-thunderstorm high wind and hurricane event categories.

04 / A LITTLE MORE PREPARED
A few useful things to know before an inspection, a price conversation or a big decision.
You don’t need to get on the roof to start a useful conversation.
Adjust home size, stories and materials. See the assumptions behind the range.
Try the roof cost calculatorA planning estimate. Your roof still needs measuring.Ask what caused it, what a repair would solve, and whether the rest of the roof is sound.
What to ask about repair vs. replacementA FEW USEFUL ANSWERS
Source links accompany the guidance.
Research reviewed September 20, 2026.
Start with roof size, material and complexity—not just the size of your house. Our calculator uses national Angi reference ranges and explains its assumptions; it is not a measured statewide average. Use it to plan, then compare written local quotes for the same scope.
Build a replacement budgetChoose a nearby roofing company and call to confirm that it handles active leaks or temporary protection, how soon it can come, and any callout charge. An office nearby does not guarantee emergency availability. Stay off a wet or damaged roof; keep clear of sagging ceilings and water near electrical fixtures.
Find nearby roofing companies to callSometimes. Ask the roofer to show where the leak starts, what a repair would fix, and the condition of the surrounding roof. Widespread deterioration or recurring problems may change the recommendation. A leak alone is not proof that the whole roof needs replacing.
See what to ask before approving the workMaine does not license general contractors or roofers. Check references, insurance and the written scope rather than relying on a statewide roofing-license claim. Ask your municipality about permits and local requirements. The Attorney General provides a model home construction contract.
Read Maine home-repair guidanceThe answer depends on your address and the work. Ask the city or county building department before work starts. Have the quote say who will obtain any required permit and arrange inspections.
Find local roofing helpAsk for both options on the same measured roof and written scope. Compare the installed price, roof preparation, flashing details and workmanship coverage. Your roof’s design and the exact products matter more than the material name alone.
Compare material planning rangesPhotograph visible changes from the ground and arrange an inspection if you notice leaks or missing shingles. Stay off a wet or damaged roof. Nearby storm reports help establish the date and area; an inspection establishes what happened to your home.
Use the after-storm inspection checklistThe covering is one part of the system. Ask about roof edges, attachment and the layer that limits water entering beneath the covering. IBHS’s FORTIFIED guidance explains these details; a designation has its own inspection and documentation requirements.
