Your house isn’t just the place you call home. It’s also your largest investment and should be treated as such, which means protecting it. One of the most important factors when it comes to this is your roof. A well maintained roof shields a house from the elements, preventing costly water damage, wood rot, and mold, while preserving structural integrity.
At Zhumas Construction we provide top-tier residential roofing services in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Maine. We pride ourselves on using only the best materials and construction techniques to ensure you have a roof that will keep you dry for years to come.
Residential Roof Replacement
A new roof protects your home, improves curb appeal, and increases home value. Our residential roof installation process includes:
- A thorough inspection of your roof and attic space, allowing us to have a full picture of exactly what work needs to be done. We will also discuss different roof types with you to help you find the perfect fit.
- The full removal of old shingles and roofing materials. At this point we will inspect the underlying roof deck, making any necessary repairs, including the replacement of worn out flashing.
- The installation of the underlayment. This is a barrier that ensures your roof is completely watertight.
- The installation of your shingles of choice. We only use premium materials, giving you peace of mind that your new roof will last for years.
This entire process is done with the utmost care and attention. From the first inspection to the final shingle, our team is committed to delivering quality craftsmanship and results that stand the test of time.
Residential Roof Repair
A properly installed roof can last decades, but that doesn’t mean there’s no need for occasional maintenance. Fortunately, we are capable of handling any and all roof repairs so that your home can remain dry and protected, including:
- • Roof Leaks: We have multiple methods of repairing roof leaks, including applying sealant, replacing damaged shingles, replacing underlayment, and repairing flashing. Which method we use will depend on the cause and severity of your leak.
- • Shingle Replacement: Over time individual shingles can become damaged or go missing. When this happens, we replace the affected shingles that perfectly match your existing roof.
- • Flashing Repair: When flashing is damaged, we clean the area, replace any damaged/rusted, metal, and apply high-quality sealant. This returns the flashing to good-as-new condition.
- • Ventilation Repair: Damaged ventilation systems can lead to moisture buildup and heat damage. We are able to repair ridge vents, pipe boots, and any other roof ventilation systems
Whether you need a full roof replacement or a simple repair, we can help. Contact us today for a free estimate.

Residential Roof Types We Offer
When it’s time for a new roof, there are a number of different options to consider. Each of these comes with its own set of benefits and limitations. We like to start every project with a discussion to help you find the perfect type of roof for your home.
Asphalt Roof
This is the classic roof most people think of. Asphalt is sturdy and reliable, while also being budget-friendly. Asphalt shingles come in an extremely wide variety of colors and styles, making it easy to find an option that suits your home perfectly.
Slate Roof
As a homeowner, curb appeal is important, but so is durability. A slate roof not only offers several color options, but will last upwards of 75 years. The advantage of slate over other options is that it is non-combustible, decreasing the risk of fire. It is a beautiful, elegant option that may impact the cost of your home owner’s insurance in a good way.
Cedar Roof
Cedar roofs offer your home a natural curb appeal that is hard to replicate with other materials. The natural oils of cedar make it resistant to decay, rot, and insect damage. Routine treatments every few years ensure that the wood stays water and fire-resistant throughout its service life. Cedar is perfect for homeowners that want a timeless, natural look.
Metal Roof
Metal roofs may cost more, but they provide a number of benefits that make the initial cost worth it. A new metal roof can last over 50 years with very minimal maintenance. There are also many stylish metal design options available so you can find the perfect fit to match your home’s style.
Not sure which roof type is right for your home? We’d love to have a discussion and help you decide.
