What homeowners say

Rated 5.0 on Google by Seacoast homeowners.

★★★★★

“The only thing I can say after my experience working with Nova Roofing and Siding is unbelievable! They did the most professional and fast job and at very reasonable price. They stripped the old roof, applied 90 sheets of plywood and very professionally applied the new, top of the line roof all in one day.”

What a new roof costs here

Straight answer: what a roof replacement costs in the Seacoast.

You asked. Here are the ranges we actually quote, updated September 2026.

HomeRoof sizeTypical installed price*What's included
Ranch or cape
1,200–1,600 sq ft living space
14–18 squares$11,500 – $16,500Full tear-off, GAF Timberline HDZ, ice & water shield, synthetic underlayment, ridge vent, cleanup, warranty registration
Colonial or split
1,800–2,600 sq ft
20–26 squares$16,000 – $24,000Same system; most Seacoast colonials land here
Large or complex
2,800+ sq ft, multiple pitches, dormers
28–36+ squares$23,000 – $33,000+Same system; steep pitch, valleys and dormers add labor

*Nova's current pricing for asphalt architectural shingle systems in Seacoast NH and Southern Maine, updated September 2026: roughly $810–$925 per square (100 sq ft) installed, including tear-off of one layer. Add-ons: skylight flashing kits about $400 each, chimney flashing about $350, rotted decking replaced per sheet at cost plus labor. Metal standing-seam runs $1,200–$1,500 per square. Your instant estimate uses these same numbers; the fixed price comes after we walk the roof.

What moves the price up or down

  • Roof size and pitch. Price is mostly per square. Anything steeper than 8/12 needs extra staging and slows the crew.
  • Layers to tear off. One layer is included. A second layer (common on 1950s–70s Seacoast homes) adds disposal and labor.
  • Decking. If we find rotted plywood or old plank sheathing that can't hold a nail, it's replaced by the sheet. We photograph it before we replace it.
  • Complexity. Valleys, dormers, skylights, chimneys, and pipe boots all take flashing and time.
  • Ventilation and ice protection. NH code requires ice & water shield at the eaves; we run it up the valleys and around penetrations too, because that's where Seacoast roofs fail.
  • Shingle tier. Timberline HDZ (Good/Better) vs. UHDZ (Best) is a few hundred to a couple thousand dollars on a typical house.

What doesn't change the price

Whether you called us from ChatGPT, Google, or a neighbor's recommendation. Whether you asked for financing. Whether you got two other quotes. The number is the number.

The system we install

GAF Timberline HDZ, installed as a complete system.

A roof is the shingle plus everything under it. Here's what Good / Better / Best means on a Nova estimate.

Good

Timberline HDZ

GAF's most-installed architectural shingle

  • LayerLock nailing zone, StrikeZone for faster, tighter installs
  • Limited Lifetime shingle warranty; 15-yr WindProven unlimited-wind coverage with a full GAF system
  • 25-yr StainGuard Plus algae protection
Best

Timberline UHDZ

Thicker, deeper shadow line, higher wind rating

  • Ultra-high-definition dual shadow line for a heavier, dimensional look
  • Same LayerLock installation, upgraded wind and impact performance
  • Pairs with the full GAF system and warranty above

Nova is a GAF Certified Contractor. Warranty terms above are GAF's published terms for registered installations; your contract lists the exact coverage.

Warranty & financing

Covered twice. Paid for your way.

Two warranties, both in writing

Manufacturer. Nova is a GAF Certified Contractor, which lets us register your roof for GAF's System Plus warranty when we install the full GAF system: 50-year non-prorated coverage on the materials, 15-year WindProven coverage with no maximum wind speed (named storms included), and 25-year StainGuard Plus algae coverage. GAF backs it, not us.

Workmanship. Nova puts a lifetime workmanship warranty in every roofing contract. If something we installed leaks because of how we installed it, we fix it. That's the one most contractors quietly cap at two years.

Financing, if it helps

Financing is available through our lending partner on approved credit, with a soft credit check that doesn't affect your score. Fixed monthly payments; no prepayment penalty. We'll show you the payment on your estimate if you ask — and never push it if you don't.

Common questions

Things homeowners ask us first.

What does a roof replacement cost in the Seacoast area?

Most Seacoast NH and Southern Maine homes land between $11,500 and $24,000 for a full tear-off and GAF Timberline HDZ system, depending on size, pitch and complexity. Large or steep roofs run higher. The instant estimate on this page gives you your own range in two minutes.

How do I know if I need a new roof or just a repair?

Age is the biggest signal. A roof over 20 years old with curling, bald spots or more than one leak is usually past repair. A newer roof with one bad spot is a repair. Our free inspection tells you which, with photos.

How long does a roof last in New Hampshire?

An architectural asphalt roof installed correctly with ice & water shield and balanced ventilation typically lasts 25–30 years on the Seacoast. Three-tab shingles from the 1990s and 2000s are usually done at 18–22 years. Salt air, ice dams and north-facing moss all shorten that.

Repair or replace?

If the roof is under 15 years old with one problem area, repair. If it's 20+ years, has more than one leak, curling or missing granules across the whole slope, or a second layer, replacement is the better money — repairs on a tired roof are a subscription. Our inspection tells you which honestly; we do both.

Do you replace rotted decking?

Yes, by the sheet, at cost plus labor, and we photograph every sheet before it's replaced so you can see why.

How long does the installation take?

One day for most homes under 30 squares; two days for large or steep roofs or if we're replacing a lot of decking. We start early, tarp everything, and run a magnet for nails before we leave.

Do you pull the permit?

Yes. We handle the building permit with your town and the final inspection where the town requires it.

Is Nova GAF Master Elite?

No — Nova is a GAF Certified Contractor. That's the certification that lets us register the GAF System Plus warranty. We'd rather tell you exactly what we are than inflate it.

Can I get a price without someone coming out?

Yes. The instant estimate on this page gives you a range from your address and roof size in about two minutes. The fixed price comes after a free inspection, because we won't guess at decking or layers from a satellite photo.

Do you work in winter?

We install roofs year-round when the deck is dry and the temperature allows shingles to seal; emergency repairs and tarping happen in any weather.

Who answers the phone?

Nic, the owner, or our office during business hours. After hours, leave a message and you'll hear back first thing.
