Coastal, York County
Wells runs from the dunes at Drakes Island and Wells Beach back through Moody and out along Route 109 into wooded neighborhoods. The same town includes some of the most salt-exposed roofs in York County and some of the most snow-loaded.
Many beachfront homes here are seasonal rentals, so owners often want a roof that needs little attention and can be scheduled around rental weeks.
Near the water you'll find beach cottages, raised homes, and camps turned year-round, often with additions of different ages. Moody and the Route 1 area have mid-century capes and ranches. Along Route 109 and in Wells Branch, homes are mostly newer colonials, capes, and subdivision builds from the 1980s onward.
Drakes Island, Wells Beach, and Moody Beach deal with salt spray, sand, and strong onshore winds that lift shingles and corrode metal. Inland, deeper snow and shaded lots make ice dams at the eaves the main concern.
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 quote homes on Drakes Island, along Atlantic Avenue at Wells Beach, in Moody and Ogunquit Road areas, along the Route 1 corridor, and out Route 109 and Wells Branch. 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.

"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. Many owners prefer spring or fall. We'll give you a realistic timeline so the work doesn't overlap with booked weeks.
Usually heat escaping from the house into the attic melts snow, which refreezes at the cold eaves. The fix is a combination of ice-and-water shield, ventilation, and sometimes attic insulation, not just new shingles.
