What Roofs In Brockton Are Really Like
If you are searching for a roofer brockton ma homeowners can call for a straight answer, start with how the city is built. The Census Bureau's American Community Survey puts the median year a Brockton home was built at 1960. Its 2024 estimate counts 18,634 of the city's 37,692 housing units, about 49 percent, as one-unit detached homes.
A lot of the rest is small multi-family housing. The same survey counts 2,048 housing units in two-unit buildings and 7,104 in buildings with three or four units. A two-family or a triple-decker roof is a bigger, more complicated job than a single-family ranch, and it often has more than one person who needs to hear the answer.
Brockton has 36,489 occupied homes, of which 21,177, about 58 percent, are owner occupied and 15,312 are rented. A build date does not tell you what condition a roof is in, which is why we get on the roof and look, rather than guess from the street.

What Brockton Requires For A Roof Permit
Brockton is direct about roofs. The Building Department's page states that a building permit is required for construction, structural changes, window and door replacements, roofing, siding or demolition. The department issues all online permits for residential and commercial construction in the city and conducts building inspections.
- The Fee Formula. According to the city's Code of Ordinances, Sec. 4-3, the fee for alterations and repairs over $1,000 of stated valuation is $75 for the first $1,000 plus $20 per additional $1,000. We did not find a separate published re-roofing fee.
- Do Not Start Early. The same section adds a surcharge of two times the permit fee on work begun without first obtaining a permit, and says a permit becomes void one year from issuance if construction has not commenced.
- Inspections. The city lists inspector availability as 7:00 AM to 3:00 PM, Monday through Friday. The pages we read do not list which inspections a re-roof gets, so ask the Building Department.
Ask any contractor you are comparing who will apply for the permit and what will be on it, and check what they tell you with the city.
Roofing And Brockton's Historic Sites
According to the city's Historical Commission page, the Brockton Historical Commission is the official agent of municipal government responsible for city-wide historic preservation planning, and the page lists the South Street Historic District, added in 1980, among its historic sites.
The page does not describe design review of exterior changes, and we could not find a rule about roofing materials. If your house is on or near South Street, ask the Commission what it needs to see before you choose a material, or give us your address and we will find out before we quote.

My Brockton house was built around 1960. Does that mean the roof is old?
No. The year a house was built does not tell you the condition of the roof on it. Census estimates put the median Brockton home at 1960, but many roofs have been replaced since, and a newer one can still have problems. Only an on-roof inspection tells you.
