Our Roofing Services | Princeton, ME
From quick fixes to major projects, Princeton Roofing & Maintenance has been the roofing contractor Princeton homeowners call for 21 years. Here's a rundown of what we offer.
Roof Replacement
After tear-off, we always check decking and replace what's needed. Soft spots mean moisture intrusion. The old roof was leaking longer than you realized. We use 7/16" or 15/32" CDX plywood depending on rafter spacing. New decking costs $75-$120 per sheet installed. We only replace what's actually damaged.

Improper step flashing is the leading cause of roof leaks at wall-to-roof transitions. Step flashing needs to be woven between shingle courses with each piece extending 4" above the shingle exposure. We see Princeton homes where the last roofer used continuous L-flashing or just caulked the gap. That always fails. We tear it out and install proper step flashing with a kick-out diverter at the bottom per IRC R905.2.8.3.

Wind speeds above 60 mph cause shingle tab lift and adhesive seal failure per ASTM D7158 testing protocols. Our Princeton inspectors check the entire windward exposure. Not just the obvious damage. Poor ventilation causes ice dams which cause water intrusion under the shingle field during freeze-thaw cycles. We document all contributing factors so your insurance claim covers root-cause repairs, not just surface patches.

New construction roofing in Princeton starts with getting the design details right before materials arrive. Roof pitch, attic ventilation needs, snow load requirements, and local code amendments all affect material selection and installation methods. We coordinate with your general contractor or architect to ensure the roof system matches the building specifications.

Metal roof repairs are usually sealant failures at transitions, loose panels from improper installation, or rust spots on older galvanized systems. Our Princeton crew repairs all metal types. Not every issue needs a full replacement. Sometimes a sealant touch-up or panel re-securing solves it.

Shingle color matters more than you think. Dark shingles absorb heat. Great for cold Maine winters, harder on cooling bills in summer. Lighter colors reflect heat. Algae-resistant granules prevent black streaking. We bring shingle samples to your Princeton home so you can see them against your siding and trim.

The number one cause of flat roof failure is ponding water. Standing water that doesn't drain within 48 hours after rain. We solve ponding by installing tapered insulation systems that create positive slope to drains, scuppers, or roof edges. Minimum 1/4" per foot of slope eliminates standing water.

Commercial roofing in Princeton means flat and low-slope systems: TPO, EPDM, PVC, modified bitumen, and built-up roofing. We install and repair all of them. Retail, warehouse, office, restaurant, multi-family. Our commercial crew handles buildings from 2,000 to 100,000 square feet.

Seamless aluminum in 5" K-style is the standard for Princeton residential. We use 6" K-style on larger homes, steeper pitches, or roof areas with high water volume. Downspouts are 2x3" on 5" gutters and 3x4" on 6" gutters. Matched to handle the flow.
