Porter Roof Repair, Replacement & Installation
Porter Roofing & Maintenance handles every roofing job from a single-shingle repair to a full commercial re-roof. Here's what we do in Porter.
Roof Replacement
Full roof replacement starts with a complete tear-off down to the deck. We inspect every board for rot or soft spots. In Porter, we find decking damage on about 30% of tear-offs. Damaged sections get replaced with CDX plywood before anything else goes on. Then we build up: ice and water shield in valleys and at eaves, synthetic underlayment across the full deck, new drip edge on every edge, starter strip, field shingles, hip and ridge caps, and ridge vent. Dumpster, permits, and cleanup included.

Missing shingles from wind damage expose the underlayment to UV degradation. If the underlayment is compromised, water intrusion follows the next rain. We don't just replace the missing shingle. We pull back surrounding courses, inspect the underlayment for UV damage and nail holes, replace compromised sections, and weave new CertainTeed Landmark or IKO Cambridge shingles into the existing field. Proper repair, not a patch.

After a major storm in Porter, we mobilize quickly. Emergency tarping within 24 hours to prevent secondary water damage. Then a full damage inspection once conditions allow. We use drone photography on larger commercial roofs to document everything the adjuster needs.

New construction underlayment per IRC R905 and ASTM D226 (felt) or ASTM D6757 (synthetic). Ice barrier per ASTM D1970 required at eaves in climate zones with average January temperature below 25°F. We install ice and water shield regardless. It's cheap insurance against ice dams and wind-driven rain. Drip edge per IRC R905.2.8.5 on eave and rake edges. Proper starter strip with factory sealant for wind resistance from day one.

The difference between a cheap shingle roof and a quality one comes down to the system underneath. Shingles are only the outer layer. Ice and water shield in the valleys, synthetic underlayment across the deck, proper starter strip with factory adhesive, correct nailing pattern. That's what makes a shingle roof last in Maine's weather.

Flat roof leak detection in Porter: we start with a visual inspection of seams, flashings, and penetrations. If the leak source isn't obvious, we use electronic leak detection (ELD) or flood testing on membrane roofs. We find it and fix it. No guessing, no unnecessary tear-offs.

We install Carlisle SynTec and Firestone TPO membrane systems in 60-mil and 80-mil thickness over minimum R-25 polyiso insulation (more in climate zones requiring it). Seams hot-air welded at 900°F+ and tested with a seam probe. Fully adhered systems for wind uplift zones per FM I-90 or I-120. Mechanically attached for re-roofs over existing insulation. NRCA member, trained per manufacturer specifications.

Clogged gutters cause fascia rot, soffit damage, and foundation erosion from concentrated water runoff. That's not a marketing scare tactic. We see the damage on every other gutter replacement in Porter. Properly sized gutters with adequate downspout capacity move water away from the house. We calculate capacity using rainfall intensity data for Porter: roof area x pitch factor x rainfall rate in inches per hour. Standard 5" K-style handles 5,520 square feet of effective roof area.

After we secure the tarp and stop the leak, we photograph and document everything while the damage is fresh. This documentation is critical for insurance claims. Adjusters want to see the damage before any repairs are made.

Skylights done right bring natural light into spaces that need it most. Bathrooms, hallways, closets, kitchens with limited windows. We install VELUX and Fakro units with manufacturer flashing kits that integrate with your existing shingle field. Proper flashing is everything. Bad skylight installs are a leading cause of roof leaks.
