Coastal, York County
Kennebunkport roofs work harder than most in Maine. Much of the town sits on exposed points and beachfront, and many homes are seasonal, which means small problems can go unnoticed for months before anyone is there to see a stain on the ceiling.
We're based next door in Kennebunk, so getting eyes on a roof in Cape Porpoise or Goose Rocks is a short drive, useful when an owner is out of state and needs someone local to take a look.
Expect large shingle-style summer homes along Ocean Avenue and Cape Arundel, weathered-shingle capes and fishing-era cottages in Cape Porpoise, and beach cottages at Goose Rocks that have been added onto more than once. Dock Square and the village have older homes with tight lot lines and limited staging room. Many owners want a cedar-shake look, which is where composite shake can come in.
Ocean Avenue, Cape Porpoise, and Goose Rocks take the full force of nor'easters, with wind-driven rain pushing water sideways under poorly lapped shingles and flashing. Salt spray is year-round. Snow load is lighter than inland, but ice dams still form on shaded north slopes and deep eaves.
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 work throughout Cape Porpoise, Goose Rocks Beach, Cape Arundel and Ocean Avenue, the Dock Square village area, and inland neighborhoods off Route 9 and North Street. We specialize in full roof replacement. Options include asphalt shingles, standing seam metal, Brava composite, and an honest repair-or-replace answer on leaks. For coastal homes we also install Brava composite in cedar shake, Old World slate, and Spanish barrel tile profiles.
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. We can inspect the roof and send photos and a written summary, so you can decide on repairs without making the trip. Drone imagery is available as an add-on for steep or tall roofs.
Composite shake such as Brava Cedar Shake gives a similar look without the maintenance real cedar needs in salt air. We can walk you through the trade-offs in cost and appearance.
Many seasonal owners prefer spring or fall so work is done outside peak summer weeks. Village-area jobs may also need planning for parking and staging, so booking early helps.
