A worn-out roof rarely fails all at once. It shows warning signs first — curling shingle edges, granules collecting in the gutters, dark streaks across the decking, and daylight peeking through the attic boards. By the time water reaches your ceiling, the underlying structure has often been deteriorating for years. When repair patches no longer hold and the damage spreads across the entire roof plane, replacement becomes the practical answer. That is the work LCT Construction and Services Inc. handles every day for homeowners across Mendon, MA.
Operating since 2009, LCT Construction and Services Inc. has built a reputation on workmanship you can trust and a straightforward approach to a job that many property owners find intimidating. As a CertainTeed Premier Shingle Master, we meet a manufacturer standard that only a small fraction of roofing contractors qualify for, which means access to extended warranty options and installation methods verified by the shingle maker itself.
What a Full Roof Replacement Involves
Replacing a roof is more than laying new shingles over old ones. We strip the existing roofing down to the decking, inspect the wood for rot or soft spots, and repair or replace any compromised sheathing before a single new layer goes down. Skipping this step is a common shortcut that leads to premature failure, so we treat it as non-negotiable.
Once the deck is sound, we install a water-resistant underlayment, ice and water shield along the eaves and valleys, proper drip edge, and new flashing around every penetration. Each component works together as a system. A quality shingle over a poorly prepared deck still leaks, so we build the whole assembly to perform as one.

When Replacement Makes More Sense Than Repair
Not every leak calls for a new roof, and we will tell you honestly when a repair is enough. Replacement becomes the smarter investment in several distinct situations:
- Age at or beyond the shingle rating: Most asphalt roofs are designed for a defined lifespan, and repairs on an aging roof rarely last.
- Widespread damage: When storms tear off shingles across multiple slopes, patching becomes a losing battle.
- Repeated leaks in different spots: Multiple failure points usually mean the whole system has reached its limit.
- Sagging or spongy decking: Structural softness signals moisture damage that surface repairs cannot fix.
- Planning a home sale: A new roof removes a major buyer objection and protects your asking price.
Materials and Technical Details
We work primarily with CertainTeed architectural shingles, which offer heavier weight, stronger wind resistance, and a longer service life than standard three-tab products. Proper attic ventilation is engineered into every replacement, balancing intake at the soffits with exhaust at the ridge to control heat and moisture that would otherwise shorten roof life.
Flashing is where many roofs fail, so we pay particular attention to valleys, chimney bases, and sidewall junctions. Every fastener, nailing pattern, and overlap follows manufacturer specification, which is what keeps warranty coverage intact and your home protected through Mendon’s freeze-thaw winters and humid summers.
