Our Services

Core Roof Installation Services in Cambridge

From a single missing shingle to a full tear-off, our Cambridge crews handle every stage of roofing work with the same attention to detail โ€” licensed, permitted, and cleaned up when we leave.

01

Emergency Roof Repair & Storm Damage

A leak that starts as a small stain can rot decking and framing within weeks. Our emergency response teams treat every active-leak call in Cambridge as urgent โ€” temporary stabilization first, permanent fix scheduled right behind it.

02

Residential Roof Replacement in Cambridge

When patching stops making financial sense, a full tear-off and reroof resets the clock on your home. We strip old material down to the deck, replace any rotten sheathing, install proper underlayment and ice-and-water protection, and finish with a manufacturer-certified shingle or metal system backed by a real warranty.

Commercial & Multi-Family Roof Installation

Downtime costs money, so commercial Roof Installation jobs get scheduled around your operating hours whenever possible, with clear communication to property managers and tenants throughout the project.

"Called around 9pm after a branch came through part of our roof and Big Toms Roofing actually picked up. They had someone out that night to stop the water and scheduled the repair for that week. That kind of response is rare."

Frequently Asked Questions

Common Questions About Roof Installation in Cambridge

What's your response time for Cambridge emergencies?+
For active leaks or storm damage, we prioritize Cambridge calls and typically have a crew on-site within a few hours. Standard inspections and estimates are usually scheduled within 24 to 48 hours, often sooner depending on our current route through Cambridge.
Will I get a written estimate before you begin?+
Yes. Every job starts with a free inspection and a written, itemized estimate. We don't start work off a verbal quote, and the price you approve is the price on the final invoice unless you request additional work.
What licensing and insurance do you carry?+
We hold an active MA contractor license and full insurance coverage, and we'll provide proof of both on request โ€” most Cambridge customers ask, and we expect that.
Do you offer 24/7 emergency roof repair?+
Our emergency line is staffed around the clock. If water is actively coming in, call +1-855-469-0306 first โ€” we'll get a tarp and temporary fix in place fast, then schedule the permanent repair.
Can you help with my storm damage insurance claim?+
We regularly coordinate directly with insurance adjusters across Cambridge, MA and provide the photo documentation and scope reports they need to process claims efficiently.
What's the typical timeline for a replacement?+
A standard single-family reroof usually wraps in a day or two once we're on-site; larger or steeper roofs, or metal systems, can take a bit longer. You'll get an exact estimate before we schedule.
What roofing materials do you install?+
We install asphalt shingle systems from GAF, CertainTeed, and Owens Corning, plus standing-seam metal roofing and flat/low-slope commercial membranes like TPO and EPDM.
What kind of warranty comes with a new roof?+
Every Roof Installation job comes with a written workmanship warranty from Big Toms Roofing, separate from the manufacturer's material warranty on shingles or metal panels. Terms are outlined in your estimate.
Do you do pre-listing or pre-purchase roof inspections?+
Yes, we perform pre-purchase and pre-listing inspections throughout Cambridge with a written report and photos โ€” useful for negotiations on either side of the transaction. Ask about current pricing when you call.
Do you serve areas outside Cambridge too?+
Beyond Cambridge, our crews regularly service the surrounding Cambridge, MA area. Call +1-855-469-0306 and we can confirm coverage for your specific address in seconds.
