Local Conditions
North Providence Housing at a Glance
Looking for a roofing contractor in North Providence, RI? Houses sit close together here, and a neighbor's fallen limb is rarely far from your own roofline. RTP Roofing inspects on the roof before quoting a repair or replacement, so you know what the fix is.
The median value of an owner-occupied home is $355,900, a little under the Providence County figure of $373,600, with about 15,555 housing units in town. The owner-occupied housing unit rate is 63.9 percent.
The age of the houses is not the age of the roofs on them. Roofs get replaced on their own schedule, and the year a house went up says nothing about the condition of its roof today. Only an on-roof inspection does.

Permits
How To Get a Roof Permit in North Providence: 4 Steps
The Town of North Providence's Department of Inspections page says permits are required for most construction work, and it names roofing in that list. Here is what the page says, laid out in 4 steps.
- Confirm a Permit Applies.
Roofing is named on the town's list of work that needs one. If your job is a small repair, ask the office or ask us.
- Apply Online.
Applications go through the town's E-Permitting portal at northprovidenceri.viewpointcloud.com. Paper applications are no longer accepted.
- Know Who Can Apply.
The page says the owner of a one-family home can take out the permit, but the work must then be performed by the homeowner. All others must be taken out by a contractor licensed or registered by the State of Rhode Island.
- Call the Office With Questions.
The Department of Inspections is in the lower level of Town Hall at 2000 Smith St, phone (401) 233-1419. Office hours are Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., with summer hours of 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. from June 21 to Labor Day. The inspection hotline is (401) 719-1607.
The page links a fee schedule; check it or ask the office for the roofing fee. Ask us what the town needs for your address.

Next Step
How an RTP Inspection Works
An inspection means someone on your roof with a camera. You get photos of what is there and a plain answer, repair or replacement, before pricing comes up. Neither the year your house was built nor the condition of the roof next door can stand in for that. Request an estimate to book one.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a permit to reroof my North Providence home?
The Town of North Providence's Department of Inspections requires permits for most construction work, including roofing. Applications are filed through the town's online E-Permitting portal, and paper applications are no longer accepted. Ask us what the town needs for your address.
Can I pull the roof permit myself?
The town's page says the owner of a one-family home can take out the permit, but the work must be performed by the homeowner. All others must be taken out by a contractor licensed or registered by the State of Rhode Island. Call the Department of Inspections at (401) 233-1419 if you are unsure which category you fall under.
How do I reach the North Providence building office?
The Department of Inspections is in the lower level of Town Hall at 2000 Smith St. The phone is (401) 233-1419, and the office is open Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., with shorter summer hours from June 21 to Labor Day. There is also an inspection hotline at (401) 719-1607.
My roof was damaged in a storm. What should I do first?
Stay off the roof, take photos from the ground, and call us at (401) 593-1512. North Providence had an EF-2 tornado in August 2023. Our storm damage page covers claims.
Does the year my house was built tell me when the roof is due?
No. A house date is not a roof date, and a roof may have been replaced since. An on-roof inspection tells you its condition.
Is my North Providence home in a historic district with extra roofing rules?
The town has 7 National Register listings, including the Greystone Historic District. Call the Department of Inspections at (401) 233-1419 to confirm whether historic review or anything beyond the building permit applies to your address.
Does RTP Roofing work in every North Providence neighborhood?
Yes. We work in all 9 neighborhoods, from Allendale and Centredale to Fruit Hill, Greystone and Marieville, across all 3 of the town's ZIP codes.
What should I do about a tree limb on or near my roof?
Wind-driven tree fall has been reported in North Providence, including the October 2018 EF-0 tornado, which mostly damaged trees. If a limb has hit the roof, we inspect the damage, and we also offer tree services for limbs that threaten it.
