Cesar and his team did a great job repairing and replacing part of my roof. He was incredibly responsive, even taking time to come out on a Sunday when I had a question. I had previously had trouble getting any company to even come out and take a look at my roof which was in dire need of replacing, but Couto picked up the phone when I called and had guys out here days later. My project got scheduled quickly and it was done soon after. Every question and concern I had was answered and fixed. I'm very glad I hired them for the job. My roof no longer leaks and it feels like a weight off my shoulders. Thanks Couto!

Roofing FAQS

When do I need a roof replacement?

If your roof is over 20 years old and shows signs of sagging, buckling, or cracking— it may be time for a complete roof replacement. The best way to know for sure is to schedule a free roof assessment with a qualified residential roofing contractor.

How much does a residential roof replacement cost in New Bedford or Rhode Island?

A full roof replacement on a median-sized home in New Bedford or Rhode Island will cost you between $4,000 and $12,000. The price for a roof replacement depends on the size of your home and the type of roof you’re installing.

What is the best brand of shingles?

We install Owens Corning shingles, the best and most energy-efficient shingles on the market. As a Platinum Preferred Contractor, we work with Owens Corning directly to stay up to date on the best roofing practices.

How long does it take to replace a roof?

Roof replacements can take anywhere from 2 to 7 days, depending on the size and scope of the project. Larger or more complicated residential roof installations can take longer than 7 days.

What should you look for in a professional roofing contractor?

When looking for a roofing contractor, you should find a company that’s in good standing with the Better Business Bureau and can install roofs that meet the manufacturers’ standards. If a contractor takes shortcuts, it could cause this warranty to be voided, leaving you to pay for roof repairs out of pocket.
