Roofing contractors in Maine do not require any state licensure (unless they work with asbestos, which requires specific licensure from the Department of Environmental Protection). However, the state requires "a written contract with a specific provision that prohibits payment up front of more than one third of the contract price" for any construction or home improvement projects worth more than $3,000.
There are a number of things you can consider when choosing a roofer, such as:
The cost of roof repair varies widely depending on what repairs need to be done. The average cost in Maine is about $813, but the best way to get an estimate for your project is to ask a local contractor directly.
Typically, homeowners in Maine pay around $7,504 to replace a roof. This cost varies based on your location, and will be influenced by factors like the material used, how many stories your home has, and the size and accessibility of your roof.
It typically takes from one to five days to replace a roof. This timeline might vary depending on things like the size of your roof, how many levels your home has, and the weather in your part of Maine.
