Local Conditions
What Roofs in Middleborough Are Really Like
Most Middleborough houses are single-family, and a lot of them are old. The town has about 10,233 housing units, and 7,229 of them are in one-unit detached structures, about 70.6 percent. The median home was built in 1979.
About 2,299 of those housing units were built in 1939 or earlier, or about 22.5 percent. These figures count housing units, not buildings or roofs. They do show a town of mostly single-family houses with a large block of very old ones.
The year a house was built does not tell you what shape its roof is in. A house from the 1970s may have been re-roofed, and a farmhouse from before 1940 may have a recent roof on it. A newer roof can still have a failing detail around a chimney or a vent. That is why we get on the roof and look, rather than guess from the street.
Housing
Who Owns the Homes Here
Of Middleborough's 9,860 occupied homes, 7,579 are owner occupied and 2,281 are rented.
That is about 76.9 percent owner occupied.
Not every home is a single-family house. The town also has 469 housing units in attached one-unit structures and 672 in two-unit structures. Tell us what you have when you call.
The median value of an owner-occupied home in Middleborough is $468,700. Whatever the house is worth, get a written estimate you understand before you sign anything. Landlords are welcome to call too.
Permits
What Middleborough's Permitting Guide Says
The permit facts below come from the Middleborough Permitting Guide, a planning document hosted by the Southeastern Regional Planning and Economic Development District. It may be older than the town's current practice, so confirm anything you plan around with the Building Department.
- Roofing
The guide lists roofing, with windows, doors and siding, among the projects that typically require a building permit.
- What Needs a Permit
A building permit is required for construction, reconstruction, alteration, repair, removal, demolition or relocation of a building.
- Who Issues It
The Building Commissioner reviews and issues building permits.
- Online Permitting
The town uses an online permitting program where applicants can apply for permits and view sign-offs. Its login page lists the Building Department at the Bank Building, 20 Centre Street, 2nd floor, phone 508-946-2426. Confirm that with the department.
- Conservation
The guide says the Conservation Department reviews building permit applications for work proposed outside the existing building footprint, to check for work within 100 feet of a wetland resource area or 200 feet of a perennial river.
The guide lists no roofing fee and does not say who may pull a roofing permit, so ask the Building Department. Rules differ from town to town, and from address to address. We check the rules for your address first, so you know what applies before the work is quoted.
Historic
Historic Districts and Older Houses in Middleborough
The town's 2024-2031 Open Space and Recreation Plan lists, as an action, preserving historic villages through the adoption of local Historic District designations. That reads as something the town is considering, not a rule on your roof today. A local historic district would be one set up under Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 40C with its own design review, so ask the Building Department whether one covers your address.
The town does have places on the National Register of Historic Places. The Community Preservation Plan says Middleborough has 10 properties listed on the Register, including the Middleborough Center Historic District. A National Register listing is a federal honor. It is not local design review and does not by itself set roofing rules.
If your house is an old one (about 2,299 Middleborough housing units date to 1939 or earlier), ask the Building Department whether anything applies at your address. Or give us your address and we will find out before we quote.
The Record
What Town Planning Says About Storms
The town's 2020 Municipal Vulnerability Preparedness workshop summary names severe storms and winds as a primary concern, because flooding can cut off major roads and trees frequently fall. It names no roofing-specific hazard.
Wind and falling limbs are what act on a roof. For storm and winter questions, see our storm damage and insurance claims page and our ice dam guide.

Services
Roofing Services in Middleborough
Most Middleborough jobs start with the same question: repair or replace. A limited leak may be a roof repair. A roof at the end of its life is a roof replacement, and our shingle roofing page covers the shingles we install. If you cannot tell which you have, a roof inspection is the place to start. We also do gutters and siding when the roof job calls for it.

Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a permit to replace my roof in Middleborough?
The town's permitting guide lists roofing, with windows, doors and siding, among the projects that typically require a building permit. That guide may not be current, so confirm with the Building Department. We check the rules for your address first, so you know what applies before the work is quoted.
Who issues building permits in Middleborough?
The guide says the Building Commissioner reviews and issues building permits, and that the town uses an online permitting program for applications and sign-offs. Confirm the process with the Building Department.
Does the Conservation Department review a roof permit?
The guide says it reviews building permit applications for work proposed outside the existing building footprint, to check for work within 100 feet of a wetland resource area or 200 feet of a perennial river. Ask the department whether your project falls under that.
Is there a local historic district in Middleborough?
Ask the Building Department about your address. The town's Open Space and Recreation Plan lists adopting local Historic District designations as an action. The Middleborough Center Historic District is on the National Register of Historic Places, which is a federal listing, not local review.
My Middleborough house was built in the 1970s. Does that mean the roof is old?
The year a house was built does not tell you the condition of the roof on it. The median Middleborough home was built in 1979, but many roofs have been replaced since, and a newer one can still have problems. Only an on-roof inspection tells you.
Do you work in Middleboro as well as Middleborough?
Both spellings are the same town. Call (401) 593-1512 with your address and we will check the rules that apply before we quote.
