36 Years of Getting Roofs Right

Rich’s Construction has been solving roofing problems for over three decades. We understand what Long Island weather does to roofs—the nor’easters that lift shingles, the ice dams that form in winter, and the humidity that can cause hidden damage you won’t see until it’s expensive.

We’re BBB A+ accredited because we do what we say we’ll do, when we say we’ll do it. That matters when you’re dealing with a leak that needs to be fixed before the next storm hits.

Medford homeowners deal with unique challenges. You’re close enough to the coast to get hit with salt air that corrodes flashing, but inland enough to deal with heavy snow loads. We’ve seen it all, and we know how to fix it so it stays fixed.

How We Fix Your Roof Problem

First, we actually show up when we say we will. We inspect your roof thoroughly—not just the obvious problem area, but the whole system. Storm damage often hides in places you can’t see from the ground.

We explain what we found in plain English. No technical jargon about flashing and underlayment unless you want those details. We tell you what needs to be fixed now, what can wait, and what might become a problem later if you ignore it.

Then we fix it with materials designed for Long Island’s weather. We don’t use the cheapest stuff available—we use what works. Our repairs come with clear warranties because we stand behind our work.

You’ll know exactly when we’re coming, how long the job will take, and what it costs before we start. No surprises, no change orders for things we “discovered” after we started working.

What's Included in Every Repair

Every roof repair includes a complete inspection of your entire roofing system. We check gutters, flashing, vents, and skylights—not just the leak you called about. Storm damage rarely hits just one spot.

We handle everything from emergency leak repairs to complete section replacements. If your roof took a hit from falling branches during the last nor’easter, we can assess whether you need a simple shingle replacement or if there’s structural damage underneath.

Medford’s location means your roof faces unique stresses. The salt air from being near the coast accelerates corrosion of metal components. Heavy snow loads in winter test your roof’s structural integrity. We use materials and techniques specifically chosen for these conditions, not generic solutions that work everywhere but excel nowhere.

How quickly can you repair my roof after storm damage?

We prioritize emergency repairs, especially when there’s active water intrusion. For urgent situations where water is getting into your home, we can typically provide temporary protection within 24-48 hours to prevent further damage.For non-emergency repairs, we usually schedule within one week of your call. The actual repair time depends on the extent of damage, but most standard repairs are completed in one to two days. We keep common materials in stock specifically for Long Island’s typical storm damage patterns.Weather can delay outdoor work, but we’ll communicate any changes to your schedule immediately. We don’t leave you wondering when we’ll show up.
Insurance coverage depends on what caused the damage and your specific policy terms. Storm damage, hail damage, and damage from falling trees are typically covered under most homeowner’s policies.We can work directly with your insurance company and provide detailed documentation of the damage, including photos and repair estimates. This often speeds up the claims process and ensures nothing gets missed during the adjuster’s inspection.Gradual wear and tear or maintenance issues usually aren’t covered, but storm-related damage often is. We’ll help you understand what’s likely to be covered before you file a claim, so you can make an informed decision about whether to involve your insurance company.
Age is a major factor. If your roof is over 20 years old and you’re dealing with multiple problem areas, replacement might make more financial sense than repeated repairs. We’ll give you an honest assessment of whether you’re throwing good money after bad.The extent of damage matters too. If storm damage affected more than 25% of your roof surface, or if there’s structural damage to the decking underneath, replacement often becomes the better option. We can usually tell during our inspection.We’ll show you exactly what we found and explain your options clearly. Sometimes a repair that costs $2,000 today prevents a $15,000 replacement next year. Sometimes that same repair is just delaying the inevitable. We’ll tell you which situation you’re facing.
Medford’s location creates a perfect storm for roof problems. You get the salt air from the coast that corrodes metal flashing and fasteners faster than inland areas. The humidity promotes mold and algae growth that can damage shingles over time.Winter brings heavy snow loads that stress the structure, followed by ice dams when snow melts and refreezes at the roof edge. Spring storms with high winds can lift shingles that were weakened by winter weather.The frequent temperature swings cause expansion and contraction that loosen fasteners and open up small gaps where water can penetrate. These aren’t problems you’d face in Arizona or Florida—they’re specific to Long Island’s climate, and they require contractors who understand how to build and repair for these conditions.
Yes, all our repair work comes with a written warranty that covers both materials and workmanship. The length depends on the type of repair—emergency patches get shorter warranties than complete section replacements.For major repairs using new materials, we typically provide warranties of 5-10 years on workmanship. Material warranties come directly from the manufacturer and vary by product, but we only use materials with solid warranty backing.We honor our warranties completely. If something we repaired fails during the warranty period, we’ll fix it at no charge. We’re not going anywhere—we’ve been in business for 36 years, and we plan to be here for another 36.
Most homeowners in the Medford area spend between $500 and $3,000 for typical roof repairs. Simple leak fixes or shingle replacements fall on the lower end, while extensive storm damage repairs can reach the higher end of that range.Emergency repairs to stop active leaks typically start around $300-500. Replacing a section of damaged shingles usually runs $800-1,500 depending on the size of the area and type of shingles. Major repairs involving structural work or multiple roof components can cost $2,000-5,000.We provide written estimates before starting any work, so you’ll know exactly what you’re paying for. No surprises, no “discoveries” that suddenly double your bill. If we find additional problems during the repair, we’ll discuss them with you before proceeding.
