RESIDENTIAL & COMMERCIAL ROOFING SERVICES

ROCKPORT, MA

PKM General Contracting has been Rockport’s go-to roofing contractor for over 25 years. We’ve protected everything from Motif #1 cottages and Bearskin Neck artist studios to Halibut Point oceanfront estates against the harshest Atlantic storms. Our deep knowledge of Rockport’s extreme coastal exposure, combined with premium materials and true craftsmanship, keeps this legendary town safe and beautiful year after year. When Rockport roofs need protection from salt air, 100+ mph gusts, and pounding surf, residents and business owners trust PKM.

RESIDENTIAL ROOFING:

Extreme-Coastal Shingles & Metal for Rockport’s Oceanfront Homes

From Front Beach Victorians to Pigeon Cove contemporary homes, we install Class-4 impact and 170+ mph wind-rated shingles plus standing-seam metal that laughs at Rockport’s famous gales while enhancing the town’s world-renowned charm. Our systems are specifically chosen for their ability to resist salt corrosion, UV degradation, and wind uplift that ordinary roofing simply cannot handle.

Rockport-Specific Ice Dam & Storm Damage Mastery

We’re experts in cedar shake restoration, copper flashing on widow’s walks, heated cable systems, and steam-only ice dam removal — the only safe method for Rockport’s fragile historic roofs. Our crews understand the unique pitch and design of Rockport homes and take extra care to preserve original architectural details.

COMMERCIAL ROOFING:

Battle-Tested Flat Roofing for Rockport’s Waterfront Businesses

These buildings face the same punishing conditions as residential properties but with the added pressure of protecting priceless art, inventory, and customer experience. Our commercial installations are engineered to handle heavy snow loads while maintaining the aesthetic that makes Rockport famous worldwide.

Budget-Friendly Solutions That Last

We understand that gallery owners and restaurant operators can’t afford lengthy closures or surprise repair bills. That’s why we offer flexible scheduling, phased installations when possible, and financing options that work for seasonal businesses. Our goal is to become your long-term roofing partner, not just another contractor.

Our Rockport Commercial Services Include:

Fully-adhered TPO/EPDM systems that stand up to Rockport’s salt air and 100+ mph gusts without cracking, peeling, or leaking for decades.
24/7 emergency response — we’re local and arrive within the hour when nor’easters threaten priceless art collections and restaurant operations.
Miami-Dade wind-uplift certified installations for exposed harbor and headland buildings that face the full force of Atlantic storms.
Historic-district approved low-slope solutions that preserve Rockport’s postcard skyline while delivering modern reliability and energy efficiency.

ROOF INSPECTIONS:

Rockport-Specific Coastal Inspections

Rockport roofs face the Atlantic head-on — salt corrosion, wind-driven rain, and ice on steep pitches require specialized knowledge we’ve perfected over 25+ years. We know exactly where to look on Bearskin Neck cottages and Halibut Point mansions to find hidden damage before it becomes catastrophic. Our inspectors are trained to spot issues unique to Rockport’s extreme exposure that most contractors simply miss. Regular inspections are the #1 way Rockport homeowners and businesses avoid massive repair bills.

BENEFITS OF ROUTINE ROOF INSPECTIONS

Key Advantages Include:

Identify salt-accelerated copper and aluminum corrosion before it destroys flashing and requires full roof replacement — saving tens of thousands.
Catch wind-uplift damage and loose shingles on ocean-facing slopes before the next storm rips them off and causes interior flooding.
Prevent ice dams that can collapse widow’s walks and destroy priceless interior plasterwork and artwork.
Protect your investment with documentation that satisfies Rockport’s strict historic commission and increases resale value.
