York County
Kittery is a working maritime town with compact neighborhoods, riverfront islands, and exposed coastal points. Roof access can be tight in the Foreside, while Kittery Point and Gerrish Island bring stronger wind, fog, and salt exposure.
The Piscataqua and Atlantic shape every part of the roof system, from fastener and flashing choices to staging and debris control. Older naval-era and maritime homes may also combine several additions and pitches under one roofline.
Kittery Foreside and Badger's Island include compact Federal-era and early-1900s homes, duplexes, and cottages on close lots. Kittery Point and Gerrish Island have capes, shingle-style houses, and newer coastal homes. The Route 1 and Whipple Road areas add ranches, multi-family buildings, and postwar neighborhoods.
The Piscataqua channels wind and damp air, while Kittery Point and Gerrish Island receive direct salt and ocean weather. Wind-driven rain tests wall intersections and penetrations; fog and shade can keep roof surfaces damp between storms.
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 Kittery Foreside, Kittery Point, Badger's Island, Gerrish Island, and neighborhoods along Whipple Road, State Road, Route 103, and Haley Road. 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.

"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"
We assess delivery space, parking, neighboring buildings, landscaping, and debris protection before work begins so the staging plan fits the property.
Direct wind, salt, and fog increase the importance of perimeter fastening, sealed underlayment, and corrosion-resistant flashing and accessories.
Shoreland and historic requirements can depend on the property and project. Confirm current rules with the town before changing the roof's appearance or structure.
