Manchester Premium Roofing provides professional flat & low-slope roofing in Manchester, NH for residential and commercial properties across southern New Hampshire. Almost every low-slope roof we touch in Manchester is attached to a steep-slope one. Rear ells, porch roofs, dormer tops and the flat deck over a kitchen addition are where these houses leak, and they are usually the part a replacement quote treats as an afterthought.
Slope is the first thing to establish. Below two units in twelve, shingles are not a permitted covering and never were, yet we regularly find them on porch roofs installed by someone who simply carried the main roof around the corner. If that is what you have, the repair is not a patch. It is a different assembly. On these houses, shingles laid across a porch roof are the defect we meet more than any other.
We use self-adhered and cold-applied modified bitumen on most of these, and single-ply membrane where the area justifies it. What we avoid on an occupied timber-framed house in a dense neighborhood is open-flame torch application, and that commitment goes in the scope rather than being left to whoever turns up on the day. That commitment costs us some flexibility and it is the right trade on a timber-framed street.
Drainage gets designed rather than inherited. A dead flat deck with one blocked outlet at the back is the standard arrangement on these additions, and it fails the first time a leaf pile sits there through a January thaw. Tapered insulation to create real fall, a properly sized outlet and an overflow that tells you when the primary has stopped working are all cheaper than the ceiling below.
The termination against the main house is the joint that decides everything. Where the low-slope deck runs into a wall, the base flashing has to go up the wall high enough and be counterflashed into something that will hold it, and on brick that means the mortar question we deal with on the chimney page rather than a bead of sealant. Sealant at that junction is a repair with an expiry date rather than a detail.
We will tell you when the deck itself has gone. Sustained ponding rots sheathing from above and the membrane hides it, so we probe before quoting, and if the answer is that the structure needs work first, we will say that even though it makes our number larger and less attractive than the bid you got yesterday. A membrane over rotten sheathing is money laid on top of a problem.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — surface-mounted counterflashing anchored above the mortar line, joints raked and repointed in soft Type O lime mortar, lead wedges setting flashing into a raked brick joint, shingles tested to ASTM D3462 and classified to D7158, net free ventilating area computed to IRC R806.2, a saddle framed to the 30-inch chimney threshold — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Manchester and nearby communities including Bedford, Goffstown, Hooksett, Merrimack.

Materials, equipment and how we do flat & low-slope roofing
The difference between flat & low-slope roofing that lasts and flat & low-slope roofing that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with surface-mounted counterflashing anchored above the mortar line, joints raked and repointed in soft Type O lime mortar, lead wedges setting flashing into a raked brick joint, shingles tested to ASTM D3462 and classified to D7158, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Manchester job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. Years of roofing work in southern New Hampshire means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Manchester Chooses Manchester Premium Roofing
- ✓We tell you plainly that New Hampshire issues no roofing license, then show you the three things about a contractor you actually can verify here.
- ✓The warranty is written before the sale, not handed over at the end, because the statute reads that document to decide whether your complaint counts as a defect.
- ✓Our inspections are paid and the written report belongs to you, so our finding is allowed to be that your roof needs nothing this year.
- ✓Where a roof meets old brick we set flashing into a raked joint and repoint in soft lime mortar, and we will not run a grinder through a wall that cannot take one.
