Replacing a roof in Orleans
Orleans is where the Lower Cape meets the Outer Cape, with water on the bay, on Pleasant Bay, and on the ocean at Nauset Beach.
Roofs close to the bay, Pleasant Bay, and the ocean take wind and salt air from every storm. When we replace a roof in Orleans, we tear off to the deck, replace rotted sheathing, and use flashing and fasteners suited to the coast.
Part of Orleans lies in the Old King’s Highway historic district. There, a new roof in a different material that can be seen from a public way needs a certificate from the Orleans Old King’s Highway committee before the work starts. Many homes in East Orleans and South Orleans are second homes, and we can replace the roof while the owners are away.
“As the General Manager of Pretty Picky Properties I’ve had the pleasure of working with Joe and his team for nearly 10 years. Joe’s carpentry skills are unmatched. He’s always respectful, finishes on time, priced well, and transparent from start to finish. You will not regret hiring Mussato Building Group.”

Roofing in Orleans: FAQ
Do I need a permit to replace a roof in Orleans?
Yes. A roof replacement needs a building permit from the Orleans Building Department, and the town inspects the work. We pull the permit.
Do you do roofing in Orleans Village and East Orleans?
Yes. We replace and repair roofs all over Orleans, including Orleans Village, East Orleans, and South Orleans. Our base in South Yarmouth is about 16 miles away.
Do I need an Old King’s Highway certificate to replace my roof in Orleans?
Only if the house is in the historic district and the new roof changes the material or the look that can be seen from a public way. We check with the committee before we price the job.
Can you put new shingles over the old ones?
Only if the roof has one layer now and the deck is sound. The code allows a maximum of two layers of asphalt shingles, and on most replacements we recommend a full tear-off.
