Why is my roof leaking during winter storms?
Inland and heavily wooded areas like Hatchville and North Falmouth are highly susceptible to ice dams. Poor attic ventilation and melting snow cause water to pool and freeze at your eaves, forcing moisture directly upward under standard shingles and rotting the structural wood decking unseen.
Can coastal winds pull my shingles off?
Yes. For properties with direct water exposure in Woods Hole or East Falmouth, wind uplift is the primary threat. When generic contractors rush installations and ignore manufacturer nailing patterns, hurricane-force winds easily tear the roof apart, leaving your structural framing exposed to torrential rain.
We strip the roof down to the bare wood, allowing our project managers to locate and replace decaying sheathing before laying any new materials.
We install heavy-duty ice and water shields across all vulnerable leak zones—including valleys and chimneys—to completely neutralize the threat of winter ice dams.
Our in-house crews deploy advanced, high-wind nailing patterns to ensure maximum structural grip during gale-force events.
Should I install a new roof over my old one? Absolutely not. The “layover” is a negligent industry shortcut. Nailing new shingles directly over old ones adds thousands of pounds of dead weight to your framing, creates an uneven surface that catches the wind, and permanently traps existing wood rot out of sight. Lions Siding & Roofing performs full tear-offs exclusively. We prioritize the long-term structural integrity of your asset over a quick fix.
You are assigned a single, clear point of contact. There is no guessing about material arrivals or timeline shifts.
Do I need a permit to replace my roof in Falmouth? Yes, and if you live in a Falmouth Historic District, you may also face strict material and aesthetic guidelines. Lions Siding & Roofing acts as your direct advocate. We handle all the technical specifications, secure the necessary town permits, and ensure your project is completely compliant from day one.
Whether your property faces the heavy salt spray of Woods Hole and East Falmouth, requires the historic sensitivity of Falmouth Village and West Falmouth, or sits nestled in the wooded, ice-prone avenues of North Falmouth, Teaticket, Waquoit, and Hatchville, we deliver consistent, supervised execution.
