Roof Replacement in Raymond, NH

Raymond is a Rockingham County town on the Lamprey River. It was first settled from Exeter as part of Chester, in an area known as Freetown, and was incorporated in 1764. The main village sits along the river near Route 27, part of Pawtuckaway State Park lies in the north of town, and the old rail line is now a rail trail, with the former depot used by the historical society.

The houses we roof in Raymond

According to the U.S. Census Bureau's American Community Survey (2020 to 2024 estimates), Raymond has about 4,500 homes. The median home in the town was built in 1983. About 10 percent were built before 1940, 42 percent before 1980 and 22 percent in 2000 or later. About 76 percent are single-family houses, 7 percent are in buildings with two to four units, and 86 percent are lived in by their owners.

What the housing means for Raymond roofs

• About 10 percent of homes predate 1940, so some Raymond roofs come off in two layers and have plank decks underneath that need repair before new shingles.
• The median Raymond home was built in 1983. Many of those attics have modest insulation, so if the house gets ice dams we look at air sealing the attic along with the roof.
• 50 percent of Raymond households heat mainly with oil and 29 percent with propane. Heat lost through the ceiling is what melts snow on the roof, so attic leaks cost fuel and feed ice dams.

Ice barrier, ice dams and the code in Raymond

Raymond is in Rockingham County, climate zone 5. Where the code's climate table marks ice-dam history, state code section R905.1.2 sets how far up the roof the ice barrier must reach (details). Our Raymond ballparks include it at the eaves and valleys either way.

Permits in Raymond

Whether a roof replacement needs a building permit is set by the town, and it can depend on the scope. Before work starts we confirm it with Raymond's Building and Health Department. Town permit fees, where they apply, are listed separately on the estimate.
