Our Services

Core Roof Installation Services in Essex

Whether it's an emergency leak at 2am or a planned replacement you've been putting off, Big Toms Roofing brings the same certified crew and the same upfront pricing to every Essex job.

01

Emergency Roof Repair & Storm Damage

When a tree limb punches through decking or shingles peel back in a wind event, water gets in fast. We prioritize emergency calls in Essex above scheduled work, get a tarp on within hours, and document everything with photos for your insurance file.

02

Complete Tear-Off & Reroof

A Roof Installation replacement is one of the biggest investments a Essex homeowner makes in their property, and we treat it that way โ€” daily site cleanup, magnetic nail sweeps, and a final walkthrough with the crew lead before we consider the job done.

03

Flat & Low-Slope Commercial Roofing

We work directly with property management companies and HOAs across Essex to keep flat and low-slope roofs maintained on a predictable schedule, instead of waiting for emergency calls that disrupt business.

04

Pre-Purchase & Insurance Inspections

After a wind or hail event, insurance companies want documented proof of damage. Our inspection team photographs and reports storm damage in a format adjusters recognize, which speeds up claim approval.

05

Flashing, Gutters & Attic Ventilation

A roof is only as good as the parts that direct water off it. We repair and replace step flashing, valley flashing, chimney flashing, and gutters that have pulled away from the fascia โ€” small jobs that prevent big leaks down the road.

"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."

"The estimate they gave us matched the final invoice exactly, which after two other quotes from companies that kept adding line items, was a relief. Crew was professional and cleaned up better than I expected."

"Their inspection before we bought our house flagged ventilation and flashing problems that weren't obvious on a walkthrough. Glad we called them before closing, not after."
