Default Roofer recommendations for repair on Rattlesnake Island

The roof of my cottage on Rattlesnake Island has some leaks. Can anyone recommend a roof contractor, especially one with a guarantee?
Thank you in advance!

NH requires that a minimum 1 year warranty be placed on all material and labor for work performed by a contractor.

That is not the important factor. What you need is a contractor that will guarantee that they will install the roofing material exactly the way the manufacturer requires. That will and is the only way to take advantage of the manufacturers warranty for repair that can extend up to 50+years depending on the product.

Good luck with your project.

If you would like an honest local guy then try either one of these two. They are both friends of mine and skilled carpenters known for quality and reliability. Sometimes these traits get lost with the larger outfits. I think it's great to keep the locals guys going too. Here is their information:

Heath Caruso
Caruso Construction (Laconia)
(603) 393-6581

Ryan Smith
R J Smith Construction and Land Management (Gilmanton)
(603) 998-4699

I am in complete agreement on this. Roofing mfg will do all they can to show sloppy installation as the culprit and back out of the warranty. I would find a mfg certified roofer to do the install. Page Roofing in Gilford is certified by the roofing mfg to do correct installation. They are a great outfit to deal with.

Bob Piper at Piper Roofing in Belmont did a couple of roofs out on an island for us a few years ago and did a great job, excellent materials, was able to provide his own transportation so we did not have to be there too.

Default Steve Buzzota-Island Support Services

Highly recommend Steve Buzzota at Island Support Service. He built our place on Rattlesnake and did an amazing job. Great to work with too! Also he has all his own boats/barge so he can get all material out there and he is very familiar with the island. http://islandsupportservice.com/

Default island roof

Hi,
my name is Corey Boucher, Blue Moon Builders, located here in Gilford.
I have a few island customers who I will be meeting with next week to go over some projects.
I would be happy to take a look at your roof next week also and get you a quote for the work.
Im fully insured, offer free estimates, install in compliance with all manufacturers warranty guidelines, and have been roofing waterfront homes for over 10 years in the Lakes Region.
I also offer written guarantees on all work that I do.

I do have my own boat as well.

If interested please drop me an email or give me a call at (603) 393-5229 or email bluemoonbuilders@msn.com

I look forward to hearing from you.
