Midcoast, Lincoln County
Boothbay Harbor homes sit on the harbor, out on the points, and on the steep hills above the water. Salt air reaches nearly every one of them, and tight hillside lots make access part of the plan.
Jeff or Aaron inspects every roof in person. We climb it, photograph what we find, and, with your permission, check the attic for decking, ventilation, and signs of moisture. Then we walk you through it.
There are older homes and inns on the harbor's hillsides, summer cottages at Spruce Point and Sprucewold, and waterfront homes on Juniper Point and McKown Point. Many have steep pitches, dormers, and limited room for staging.
The points facing open water take nor'easter wind and constant salt. We lean toward standing seam, Brava composite, or premium shingles with corrosion-resistant fasteners and flashing, plus full ice-and-water coverage at eaves and valleys.
Replacing anyway? A roof built to the IBHS FORTIFIED standard may qualify for Maine's planned Fortify grants, expected to open in the 2027 construction season. See our Fortify Maine roof grant guide.
We serve homes at Spruce Point and Sprucewold, on Juniper Point and McKown Point, in Bayville, and along Atlantic Avenue on the east side of the harbor. We specialize in full roof replacement. Options include asphalt shingles, standing seam metal, Brava composite, and an honest repair-or-replace answer on leaks.
Recent work
A full reroof of this Yarmouth home and garage, start to finish in one day. Everything came off and everything is new: drip edge, ice and water shield, synthetic underlayment, IKO architectural shingles, and a new ridge vent. Before the roof went on, we took the time to clean up the chimney brick and renew the flashing, one of those small extras that gets skipped on a lot of jobs, and one of the first places an older roof shows its age.

When a late-summer microburst tore through the greater Portland area, a tree came down on this Yarmouth home, straight through the roof and into the truss system. This wasn't a shingle patch: it meant working with the homeowner, their insurance company, the town, and an engineer to rebuild the damaged framing correctly. New structural members went in alongside the originals, fresh sheathing closed the deck, and the roof went back together over it. Storm repairs like this are part of what we do, and doing them right means getting the structure right first.

Google reviews
"Jeff and Aaron were amazing right from the first phone contact with Jeff onto the first in person meeting with Jeff and Aaron all the way to the very end of the installation. Everything was explained thoroughly to me and I had a very good …"
"Aaron & Jeff are exceptional to work with. The roof was done on schedule, looks awesome and clean up was perfect. I would recommend them to everyone."
"The best!! I felt very comfortable and taken care of working with Pine & Gable. They were super honest and transparent during the whole process, and their level of craftsmanship is unmatched. My new roof looks so great and I could be happier with how smooth the entire process went"
Yes. Steep lots and narrow streets take extra planning for staging, dumpsters, and protecting the property, and we spell that out in the written quote.
It's a strong option if you want the cedar look without the upkeep salt air demands. We'll compare it with standing seam and premium shingle after we've seen the roof.
