Roofing built for New England winters.
Nexis is a licensed Massachusetts home-improvement contractor that does full roof replacements — architectural asphalt shingles, proper ice-and-water protection, and correct attic ventilation, installed by an insured crew and backed by a workmanship warranty we actually honor. If solar is in your future, we build the roof solar-ready so you never pay twice.
Why roof with Nexis
A roof that survives ice dams, wind, and 25 New England winters
In Massachusetts a roof does not just keep the rain out — it has to shed heavy snow, resist ice dams that back water up under the shingles, and take coastal wind. Most roof failures here trace back to shortcuts you never see: missing ice-and-water barrier along the eaves, tar-paper instead of synthetic underlayment, reused flashing, and blocked attic ventilation that cooks shingles from below. We don't skip those.
Nexis does a full tear-off (not a lazy overlay), inspects and repairs the decking, and rebuilds the system the way it should be — ice-and-water shield at the eaves and valleys, synthetic underlayment across the field, new drip edge and step/chimney flashing, and balanced ridge-and-soffit ventilation. And because we're licensed for roofing and solar, the same crew can make your roof solar-ready with one point of accountability and roof-penetration coverage solar-only companies can't offer.
What a Nexis roof includes
- Full tear-off & deck inspection — we strip to the deck, replace any rotted sheathing, and start clean — not an overlay that hides problems.
- Ice-and-water shield — self-adhering membrane at the eaves, valleys, and penetrations, where MA ice dams and wind-driven rain cause leaks.
- Architectural asphalt shingles — dimensional, high-wind-rated shingles from GAF, Owens Corning, CertainTeed or IKO, with synthetic underlayment across the field.
- New flashing & drip edge — fresh step, chimney, and valley flashing plus drip edge — never reused — because that's where roofs actually leak.
- Balanced attic ventilation — ridge and soffit intake sized correctly so heat and moisture escape and your shingles (and warranty) last.
- Solar-ready detailing — flashing and layout planned so panels mount cleanly later, backed by 10-year roof-penetration coverage when we install them.
- Warranties we honor + licensed & insured — manufacturer material coverage plus Nexis workmanship coverage. MA HIC #209646, CSL CS-106943, fully insured.

Roofing FAQ
Answers, straight up
We're a licensed local HIC (#209646), not a storm-chaser passing through. We stand behind our work with warranties we actually honor — manufacturer material coverage plus Nexis workmanship coverage. No deposit-and-vanish, no unsealed-shingle shortcuts, and one accountable local team you can call if anything ever needs attention.
We do a full tear-off. Roofing over old shingles (an overlay) hides rotted decking and bad flashing, traps heat, voids many manufacturer warranties, and rarely lasts. Stripping to the deck lets us inspect the sheathing, install ice-and-water shield correctly, and give you the full warranty.
Ice-and-water shield — a self-adhering membrane we install along the eaves, in the valleys, and around penetrations. Combined with correct attic ventilation (so the roof deck stays cold and ice dams don't form), it's the single biggest difference between a roof that leaks in a New England February and one that doesn't.
Yes. We inspect and document the damage, meet your adjuster on-site when helpful, and scope the repair to code so your claim reflects what the roof actually needs. We handle the roofing side; your carrier handles the coverage decision.
If your roof is within a few years of end-of-life, yes. Replacing it first — or together with solar — avoids paying later to remove and reinstall panels. Because we do both, we'll tell you honestly at your assessment whether your roof needs replacement before solar, with no pressure either way.
You get manufacturer material coverage plus Nexis workmanship coverage — and 10-year roof-penetration coverage on the mounting when we install solar, which solar-only companies typically can't provide. Financing is available with $0-down options, and roofing can be bundled into a solar project's financing.
