The smaller group of renters and landlords is welcome to call too. If you manage a rental in town, we will talk with whoever is dealing with the leak.
Permits
What Seekonk Requires for a Roof Permit
Seekonk is direct about roofs. The town's FAQ, When are permits required?, lists "Roofing, siding, replacement windows" as regulated work that needs a permit. It cites section 105.1 of the Massachusetts State Building Code (780 CMR), which makes it unlawful to construct, reconstruct, alter, repair, remove or demolish a building or structure without first filing an application and obtaining a permit.
- Who Enforces It
The town's Building Department administers and enforces the State Building Code.
- Inspections
The town's Inspections page says inspection requests for all issued permits should be made through its online permitting portal.
- Fees and Steps
Ask the Building Department about re-roofing fees and inspection steps before you plan around either one.
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
Seekonk's Historical Commission
Seekonk has a Historical Commission.
The town's Historical Commission page gives its mission as the preservation and protection of the town's architectural and other historic evidence.
That page sets out no rule about roofing materials. If your house is an old one, or you think it may be listed, ask the Commission what it would want to see. Or give us your address and we will find out before we quote.
The Record
The Runnins River, the Tenmile River and Flood Planning
Water shapes Seekonk's flood planning.
The town's 2023 Hazard Mitigation Plan identifies flooding from the Runnins River and the Tenmile River as principal flood problems, caused by hurricanes, snow melt combined with spring rains, and summer thunderstorms. The plan says the town contains FEMA flood zones A, AE and X, and that federal disasters were most recently declared for Bristol County for Tropical Storm Irene and Hurricane Sandy.
Flood planning is not roof planning. Floodwater does not come through shingles. Wind, rain and winter weather are what act on a roof. For storm and winter questions, see our storm damage and insurance claims page and our ice dam guide.

Roofing Services in Seekonk
Most Seekonk 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 Seekonk?
Yes. Seekonk's FAQ on when permits are required lists roofing, siding and replacement windows as regulated work, and cites section 105.1 of the Massachusetts State Building Code (780 CMR). The town's Building Department administers and enforces that code. Ask the Building Department about re-roofing fees.
How do I schedule a roofing inspection in Seekonk?
The town's Inspections page says inspection requests for all issued permits should be made through its online permitting portal. We check the rules for your address first, so you know what applies before the work starts.
My Seekonk house was built in the 1960s. 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. The median year a Seekonk home was built is 1967, but many roofs have been replaced since, and a newer one can still have problems. Only an on-roof inspection tells you.
Is Seekonk mostly single-family homes?
Yes. Of 6,323 housing units in the 2020-2024 estimate, 5,420 are one-unit detached homes, about 85.7 percent. Those are housing units, not roofs, but most Seekonk homes are single-family houses.
Does Seekonk have flood zones I should know about?
The town's 2023 Hazard Mitigation Plan says Seekonk contains FEMA flood zones A, AE and X, and names flooding from the Runnins River and the Tenmile River as principal flood problems. Flood zones are about water on the ground, not shingles, but they can matter to your insurance and your property, so ask your insurer.
Do you cover Seekonk and nearby Rhode Island towns?
Yes. Seekonk sits on the Rhode Island border, next to East Providence and Pawtucket, and we work on both sides of the line. Call (401) 593-1512 with your address and we will tell you which town's rules apply.
