For smaller home improvement jobs, a Massachusetts contractor might require only a Home Improvement Contractor (HIC) registration. For larger projects, a contractor or company will need a Construction Supervisor License (CSL) along with the HIC registration. Both are provided by the Office of Consumer Affairs and Business Regulation.
The contractor that you sign a contract with must hold an HIC registration; for larger jobs, the CSL might be held by another person, for example if work is subcontracted out.
You can use a number of criteria when looking for the best roofing contractor near you, including:
The best way to get an idea of how much your roof repairs will cost is to ask a contractor directly, as many factors could influence the price tag. On average, Massachusetts homeowners pay about $1,504 for roof repairs.
Typically, Massachusetts homeowners pay around $10,386 for roof replacement. This cost varies based on your location, and is affected by factors like the size and accessibility of your roof, the material used, and how many stories your home has.
If you intend to hire a roofer from another state, make sure that you're aware of Massachusetts' contractor licensing requirements (see above). Contractors must meet the requirements of the state in which a home is located for them to work on that home.
Your roof needs a good cleaning about once a year. If you notice a buildup of mold, moss, leaves, or mildew (or if you live in an area with more trees), you or a professional may need to clean your roof more often.
