Welcome to Tall Pine Roofing, your trusted Exeter roofer delivering high-quality roofing solutions for homes and businesses throughout Rockingham County. As an established roofing contractor in Exeter, we handle everything from targeted repairs to complete roof replacements, keeping your property protected through New Hampshire winters and Seacoast storms alike. Whether you are looking for a dependable roofer in Exeter or comparing companies for roofing in Exeter, our team brings craftsmanship, transparency, and a meticulous jobsite to every project.
Why Choose Tall Pine Roofing as Your Exeter Roofing Contractor?
Choosing a roofing contractor in Exeter comes down to two things: whether the crew knows how roofs fail in this climate, and whether they will still stand behind the work a decade from now. Tall Pine Roofing is a family-owned company based just up the road in Deerfield, roughly twenty-five minutes from downtown Exeter, and we work throughout southern New Hampshire and Maine. We are an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor, fully insured, and we back every installation with a 25-year transferable workmanship guarantee in addition to manufacturer warranties of up to 50 years on qualifying shingles.
Most residential roof replacements in Exeter are completed in a single day, with a member of management on site for the duration of the job. That means questions get answered on the spot, and the standard of work does not drift once the truck is loaded.
Exeter presents a genuinely mixed roofing picture. The streets around the historic downtown and the academy hold colonials, Federals, and Victorians with steep pitches, multiple dormers, slate and cedar history, and complicated valleys where two roof planes funnel water into one. Out toward the newer subdivisions off Epping Road and Route 108, the challenges are different: simpler rooflines, but builder-grade shingles from the 1990s and early 2000s now reaching the end of their service life all at once.
Exeter also sits on the tidal Squamscott River, close enough to Great Bay that moisture and wind-driven rain are real factors. Older homes here frequently have underinsulated attics and blocked soffit venting, which is the root cause behind most of the ice dams and winter leaks we get called about. We look at the attic and the roof together, because treating one without the other tends to produce a roof that leaks again in three winters.

What Affects Roof Replacement Cost in Exeter
No two Exeter roofs price out the same way, and any contractor who quotes you a firm number over the phone without seeing the house is guessing. These are the factors that actually move the total on a local project:
Factor
Why it matters in Exeter
Roof size and pitch
Priced by the square (100 sq ft). Steeper pitches, common on older downtown homes, take longer and need more staging.
Existing layers
Tearing off two or three layers of old shingles adds labor and disposal cost versus a single layer.
Deck condition
Rot from past ice dam leaks is only visible once the old roof is off. We flag suspected areas before we start so it is not a surprise.
Material choice
Architectural asphalt sits at the accessible end; premium and designer shingles and standing seam metal cost more up front and last longer.
Roof complexity
Dormers, valleys, skylights, chimneys, and multiple roof planes all add flashing work. Exeter’s historic housing stock tends toward complex.
Ventilation and ice barrier
Correcting soffit venting or extending ice-and-water shield adds cost but is usually what stops the leaks coming back.

Commitment to Quality and Cleanliness
A roof replacement is a messy process, and how a contractor handles that mess says a great deal about how they handle everything else. We tarp the house before tear-off to protect landscaping, windows, and vehicles, and we clean up thoroughly at the end of every workday rather than leaving debris to accumulate. Every job finishes with detailed magnetic sweeps of the driveway and yard so no nails or metal scraps are left behind — which matters a great deal if you have children or pets.
If your project runs during the winter months, we come back after the snow melts for a final magnetic sweep and cleanup. Debris that was buried under snow in January does not simply disappear in April, and we would rather return than leave it in your lawn. If you are weighing a cold-weather installation, our article on replacing a roof in winter covers what is and is not practical.
Financing and Warranties
A roof is rarely a planned expense. We offer $0-down financing with low-interest options so that a necessary replacement does not have to wait for the right moment financially — which usually means waiting until there is interior damage as well. Every estimate is free and carries no obligation, and we are happy to walk you through what is genuinely urgent versus what can reasonably wait a season.
Exeter Roofing FAQs
Do I Need a Permit to Replace My Roof in Exeter?
In most New Hampshire towns, including Exeter, a building permit is required for a full roof replacement, while minor repairs generally are not. We handle permitting as part of the job, so it is not something you need to chase down yourself. Requirements and fees do change from time to time, so we confirm the current rules with the Exeter Building Department on every project rather than assuming.
My Home Is in Exeter’s Historic District — Can You Still Work on It?
Yes. Homes in a designated historic district may need review before exterior changes, which can affect material and color choices. It is worth checking with the town before you commit to a product, and we are glad to help you work through that process and select shingles appropriate to the age and character of the house.
Why Does My Exeter Home Keep Getting Ice Dams?
Almost always because warm air is escaping into the attic and melting snow on the upper roof, which then refreezes at the cold eaves. It is an insulation and ventilation problem far more often than a shingle problem, which is why simply replacing the roof without addressing airflow tends not to fix it. Older Exeter homes are particularly prone to this.
Most residential projects are completed in just one day. Our crew size, streamlined process, and management presence on every job allow us to deliver swift installations without cutting corners. Larger homes, steep or complex rooflines, and unexpected deck repairs can extend that, and we will tell you up front if we expect your project to run longer.
Do You Offer Financing?
Yes. We offer stress-free financing through our partnership with Service Finance, including $0 down installations with customized payment plans and quick approval. You should not have to wait for interior damage before a necessary roof becomes affordable.
Is There a Warranty on New Roofs?
Every installation comes with two layers of protection: a manufacturer warranty of up to 50 years on qualifying shingles, and our own 25-year transferable Workmanship Guarantee. The transferable part matters if you sell the house, since the coverage passes to the new owner.
I was truly surprised by the professional workmanship we received from Tall Pine Roofing. Their crew spotted deficiencies in our plywood on the West side of our house and replaced so many at less the quoted price. All debris was gingerly removed. Dumpster came the day before and left the day after. I feel comfortable with a roof that will last thirty plus years.
We are very happy with our new roof and siding projects through Tall Pine Roofing! Both work teams and project managers were professional, courteous and thorough. We will be contacting them for future projects!
I am very happy with my new roof. The price was competitve. Not the lowest, not the highest. I got 6 estimates and did my homework. Jamie was easy to work with, and everything was as promised! They accommodated my request around scheduling. Project manager was there the whole time. 1 day as promised. They were there early and worked late to complete the job and didn't rush clean up. I would recommend!
Seans team did an amazing job from start to finish. We varied a few components along the way. Each of those variations was met with professionalism and in educational way. Ben, Phil and Tony were great project leaders and the interaction with both roofing and siding crews was very easy. Great people doing a great job. Special shout out to Ben for having to deal with me Lol Highly recommended!c
Tall Pine Roofing did a great job doing my roof. Starting with Ben giving me the quote on how much it would cost. He was very knowledgeable about what needed to be done. Philip and his crew did an excellent job on the roof including reflashing the chimneys. They were very professional doing everything that I was quoted and a little extra without trying to charge anything more. Everything was cleaned up when they were done. I would recommend them if anyone is looking to get their roof replaced.
We own a 1780’s cape with an addition. We noticed a sag near the chimney and discovered that the original barn boards had rotted out.
Salesman, Tom Bibeau was driving by and saw my husband up on the roof. Stopped and conversed with my husband, within 15 mins, the owner Sean was here. Tom and Sean made a plan, we had an acceptable quote of work that evening from Tom and the roof was repaired within 3 days. Tom saw the project through to the end. The roof workers were respectable and cleaned everything up before leaving. We went with Owen’s Corning shingles and have had many compliments on how good our roof looks. My parents are next on Tall Pine’s list of jobs!
Below are some before, during and after photos.
I ultimately selected Tall Pine Roofing for my siding project, and I can honestly say the best experience I've ever had with a contractor.
Over the past ten years, I've hired many contractors for various home projects. This is the first company that has left me looking for additional projects simply because I would hire them again. When it's time to replace my roof, I won't be shopping around. Every time I pull into my driveway, I'm reminded how much they transformed my home. I deserved this.
Communication was excellent from start to finish. I worked with Tom Bibeau initially. The quotation and scope of work was professional, clear, and thorough. They contacted me well in advance to schedule the project, kept me informed about the delivery of the dumpster and materials, and consistently let me know what to expect throughout the installation.
One of the biggest lessons I learned during this entire process is that the installation crew matters more than the product itself. Tall Pine's crew, led by Dan, was exceptional. There were typically two to five installers on site each day. They were experienced, professional, precise, and respectful of my home. They worked as a coordinated team, cleaned up thoroughly each evening, and even made sure my dog gates were closed before leaving each day (a problem I had with a previous contractor). It genuinely felt like they treated my home as if it were their own.
The foreman was organized, communicative, and highly consultative throughout the project. Whenever they uncovered something unexpected, he explained the issue, discussed the options, and walked me through how they planned to correct it along with any associated costs.
One example stood out. After removing the old siding, they discovered that an enclosed porch addition had been built using pressure-treated lumber where aluminum trim would be installed. Because pressure-treated wood can react with aluminum over time, they proactively replaced the material with a more appropriate product at no additional cost. I never would have known the difference, but they chose to do it correctly rather than simply covering it up. It demonstrated their experience and attention to detail as well as a commitment to quality.
They consulted me on small finishing details like the color of the exterior outlets, dryer vent, and utility fixtures. I didn't realize I’d care about such things until I saw the finished result.
The crew arrived on time every morning and worked steadily throughout the day, sometimes even in less-than-ideal weather when conditions allowed. Watching the project unfold gave me a new appreciation for how much preparation goes into a quality siding installation. Removing the old siding, repairing areas as needed, installing house wrap, preparing trim, and carefully finishing every detail required far more work than I had imagined.
My installation took approximately two weeks. I have a larger home, the original siding had a significant number of nails to remove, and several days of heavy rain delayed progress.
Throughout the project, I was visited twice by the project manager and twice by the owner. They wanted to make sure I was happy with the work, answer any questions, and address any concerns before they became problems. My questions were minor, but each one was treated seriously and resolved promptly. That level of involvement gave me confidence that if a significant issue had come up, it would have been handled just as professionally.
At the time of writing, the siding installation is complete. The only remaining items are a few pieces of specialty window trim that were backordered and the gutter installation, which will be completed by a separate crew.
Looking back on the entire process, I made the right decision. The product is excellent, but more importantly, I have complete confidence in the people who installed it. For me, that ultimately proved to be the most important part of the project.
Final Result:

Every homeowner dreads the idea of needing to replace their roof — at least we did. It’s expensive, it’s messy, it takes forever; the list of apprehensions goes on and on. We started researching once we had enough money set aside to complete the project and came across an ad for Tall Pine Roofing on Facebook and decided to give them a try since they offered free estimates. The salesman, Ben, who came to do our estimate was communicative, punctual, knowledgeable, and friendly. He gave us our quote, wasn’t pushy at all, and was even willing to work with us to find a plan that worked for our budget. The quote approval process was easy and scheduling was simple. The crew who came for install day was efficient and professional. We had just planted some new flowers in front of our house and we asked them to take care not to damage them and they were very respectful of our request. They did a thorough job cleaning up afterwards and we're very happy with the finished project.
My fiancé and I bought our first home two months ago and we weren’t prepared to redo our entire siding but Sean and his team made the whole overwhelming process smooth and easy. Sean and his team did an amazing job on our siding! From start to finish, they were on top of getting the job done! We couldn’t be more grateful for Sean and his team during this entire process and easing all of our concerns. I will let the photos speak for themselves!
I had thought I had an ant problem at my roof and called Tall Pines to come inspect for issues. They were professional and kind . Ultimately I needed to replace the roof in order to find any damage. Fortunately there were no ant related damages. But now I can rest easy knowing that it will last years. I appreciate all the time they spent answering my questions. They came with a great team that completed the project in one day!!
Thank you Tall Pine Roofing
I worked with Sean and the TPR crew and they are awesome! Sean is very knowledgeable and on top of every aspect of the job from start to finish. Highly recommend!
Awesome service provided by Tall Pine Roofing. Very informative and communicative throughout the process with the sales team answering every question along the way. Roof looks perfect and seems like they used really solid materials. Will definitely be using again and referring to others.
Tall Pine Roofing is the kind of crew you call when you just want the job done right the first time. They show up when they say they will and keep the jobsite clean from start to finish. Whether it’s a small repair or a full roof replacement, their work is solid and built to last.
I’ve personally known Sean for years, and he’s known for his integrity and strong work ethic. Roofing runs in his family, and with years of hands-on experience, he truly knows his craft. I’d recommend Tall Pine Roofing anytime.
I 100% recommend Tall Pine Roofing! The owner, Sean, is honest, kind and completely reasonable! Sean and his team were at their best and efficient! They talked to my 7 year old daughter while installing the windows answering all of her questions and showing her how to use some of the tools! I highly recommend calling them if you want the best job done!
Highly recommend Tall Pine Roofing. This company is incredible. We just got our roof done December 12th. This company went beyond and above my roof had a bunch of snow on it since we had 2 storms. Some how they shovel off our roof and took all the old shingles off and put new ones on in one day. Even my neighbors came to us the next day and said they were so impressed how they did all that in one day .. They didn’t even charge us for shoveling off the roof. Not to mention I had to reschedule them a few times cause my tree company keep needing to reschedule us . They were so easy to work. If we ever get a new house in the future we will hire this company again. Best company we have ever worked with . Thank you everyone at Tall Pine Roofing.. We really appreciate you guys. Thank you for a wonderful experience.
This is a great local company in Deerfield to work with. Ben, Kim, Kurtis, and Phil were very professional and made the entire process easy to navigate. The roof and skylight installation was quickly scheduled and the end result came out great. The actual crew doing the installation were highly skilled laborers and completed the installation in a single day. At Tall Pine, Ben and Kurtis provide the initial consultation. Phil was our project manager and has a wealth of knowledge in this field and Kim from the main office was also great to work with. Thanks again!
From beginning to the completion of the job, truly just an awesome company and crew to do business with. Highly recommend. Communication is the key to everything and these guys absolutely know what they are doing. Great job, done right and the clean up was awesome. They sided my garage, supplies were delivered and they did it the next day. Uf there was a 10 star option, i would have given it.
I hired Tall Pine Roofing and Siding to complete a full vinyl exterior and asphalt roof for a project in Rochester, NH. As a builder, I value working with professionals who meet price and schedule expectations. Shaun met expectations and more – adding detail work which saved me time down the road. Tall Pine delivered a durable, aesthetic exterior to meet my client's needs for decades to come.
Sean (owner) and Kurtis (Sales Person) did a fantastic job replacing our roof. They tore off 2 layers of roofing material and replaced sheets of ply wood before installing the new roof system. They also properly sealed around our stink pipe and our electrical pole. Their crew was amazing because they showed up, worked, and cleaned as they went. 2 roofs (our house and garage) were done in one day. The next day it poured rain and no leaks! Our place looks amazing! As I type this their subcontractor (603 Seamless Gutters) is installing gutters on our home and garage. Thank you 603 Seamless Gutter team for putting up with all my questions! You rock! I am beyond happy with both of these companies and recommend them with zero hesitation!
Tall Pine Roofing is excellent! Their customer service is outstanding, they go into great detail in their proposal, down to the type of nail they were going to use, I was highly impressed. Not something I have found with any other companies. They are fair and don’t try to gouge you or sell you something you don’t need, you can tell they are really looking out for you. They communicate every step of the way and are easy to get a hold of if you have any questions. Their team is like a well oiled machine and you can tell they love to make their customers happy and take great pride in their work. I would highly recommend Tall Pines Roofing and am so thankful that we found them. I will definitely be using them for any future projects we need and will be referring them to all my friends. They are the best of the best and it was truly a pleasure and blessing to get to work with them.
Thank you guys again so much!
Alyson and Dave
Professional, competent, thorough, attention to detail, showed up when scheduled, fair pricing, they truly checked all of the boxes for what we hope for when hiring someone for a project. Their work was impeccable and their attention to detail very refreshing. Sean came out several times to discuss and assess our siding project and was on site while it was being done. Very professional crew who clearly knew what they were doing. We will be using them again for future projects as they arise. Highly recommend!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5 stars)
Sean and his crew were phenomenal! After past frustrations with other contractors, the Tall Pines team immediately put us at ease with their professionalism and transparency. Sean personally came over multiple times to walk us through different siding options, ensuring we made the best choice for our home. The quotes were detailed, clearly itemizing upgrades in a way that was easy to understand.
The installation team worked tirelessly, maintaining open communication throughout the entire process. Their attention to detail was second to none—if materials didn’t meet their high standards, they didn’t hesitate to send them back for better quality. From start to finish, their commitment to excellence and outstanding communication made all the difference. We couldn’t recommend them more highly!
Sean and his team at Tall Pine Roofing did an incredible job on my stairs and deck. Promptly came out to provide a quote and came in very competitive. Showed up each day on time and was up front and honest during the entire process. The quality of work was exceptional. Truly provided a professional level of detail to ever step of the process. Sean frequently engaged with me to ensure I was pleased with progress.
