Roof Repair for Truro homes
Truro is one of the most exposed towns on the Cape, with houses on high dunes and open ground. Siding, decks and roofs here need fasteners and materials chosen for constant wind and salt.
Truro houses sit on dunes, bluffs and open ground with little between them and the weather. Constant wind and salt mean siding, decks and roofs here need corrosion-resistant fasteners, careful flashing and materials chosen for exposure rather than looks alone.
About two thirds of Truro's homes are seasonal, the highest share in the area, and the zoning bylaw describes Beach Point as an area of traditional vacation cottages. Many of these houses need work done while the owners are away, and a roof that will hold through a winter no one is there to watch.
Truro controls house size in two ways. In the Seashore District, gross floor area is limited by right to 3,600 square feet on 3 acres, adjusted by 200 square feet per acre, and in the Residential District a separate cap applies. Site plan review is required for larger additions, so we confirm the numbers before design.

How we handle roof repair

FAQ
Roof Repair in Truro, MA: common questions
Do I need a permit for roof repair in Truro?
Replacing roofing in Massachusetts needs a building permit; for a small repair, the town building department can say whether one is needed. In Truro, permits go through the Truro Building Department at 24 Town Hall Road, Truro, MA 02666, 508-349-7004 ext. 131. Exterior changes in Truro can also need review by the Seashore District, the Truro Historical Commission and the Conservation Commission, depending on where the house sits, so it is worth checking before work is scheduled.
What causes most roof leaks on Cape Cod?
Most leaks we trace come from flashing: around chimneys, plumbing vents and skylights, or where a roof meets a wall. Shingles lifted or torn off in a storm are next, and in winter, ice dams at the eaves can push water under the shingles.
Should I repair my roof or replace it?
If the roof is fairly young and the problem is in one area, a repair usually makes sense. If the shingles are worn across the whole roof or the decking is soft in several places, a repair only buys time, and we will tell you that before you spend money on it.
