The town's Building Department says its mission is uniform enforcement of State and National Building Codes and the Town Zoning Bylaws. As of June 10, 2026, it has moved to a new online permitting system, where building permit applications and inspection requests are made.

• Fee Table. The town's building permit fee table lists "Roof, Siding, Windows" for one- and two-family residential work at $5.00 per thousand, with a $50.00 minimum. The table is headed "Effective January 2003", so it is dated 2003 and may have been replaced. Confirm the current amount with the department.
• Starting Early. The same table says starting work before obtaining a permit doubles the fee.
• Stormwater. The town's General By-Laws exempt repair or replacement of an existing roof of a single-family dwelling from needing a Stormwater Management Permit.

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.

Uxbridge has a local historic district. Under Chapter 218 of the town's General By-Laws, the Uxbridge Common and Center Historic District is overseen by a Historic District Commission. Within the district, no building or structure may be constructed or altered in a way that affects exterior architectural features visible from a public way until the Commission issues a certificate. The bylaw names three kinds: appropriateness, nonapplicability and hardship.

Section 218-7 lists what the Commission does not review. Two items matter for roofs. The color of materials used on roofs is excluded. So is ordinary maintenance, repair or replacement of an exterior architectural feature that does not involve a change in design, material or the outward appearance of it.

That is what the bylaw says, and we will not stretch it. Whether a given job needs a certificate depends on the address and on the work. The Commission's application states that it must be accompanied by a Building Permit Application. If your house is near the Common or in the Center, give us your address and we will check before we quote.

The town's Open Space and Recreation Plan reports about four square miles of floodplain in Uxbridge, according to FEMA flood insurance rate maps. Its climate resilience goal also includes an objective to lessen impacts of winter storms and severe storms.

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.

We take roofing calls across the town, which uses ZIP codes 01569 and 01538 (North Uxbridge) and covers 30.4 square miles. The town's Open Space and Recreation Plan names three major villages in the north of town: North Uxbridge, Uxbridge Center and Wheelockville.

Uxbridge sits on the Rhode Island border, next to Burrillville and North Smithfield. In Massachusetts it borders Douglas, Mendon, Millville, Northbridge and Sutton. We work on both sides of the state line, so if you are on a street near the border, one call covers it.

We go up on the roof, and into the attic when it matters, before we tell you anything. You get a plain read on what we found, whether it is a repair, maintenance or a replacement, and what the town will want to see. Request an estimate or call (401) 593-1512.
