You know you need a roof replacement, but like many homeowners in Bristol, you might be wondering if going with the cheapest quote is really so bad. After all, a few newer roofing companies in town are offering unbelievably low estimates that seem too good to pass up. But here’s the truth: cutting corners on your roof is one of the costliest mistakes you can make.
At Midland Roofing, we’ve seen it all over the past 50 years—we’ve repaired roofs that were done cheaply just a few years earlier and replaced roofs that failed long before they should have. The difference always comes down to experience, the quality of the materials, and the skill of the installers. When your home’s protection is at stake, trusting a company with half a century of proven results simply makes sense.
Some people think any roofing crew can tear off old shingles and nail on new ones, but the reality is much more complex. A true professional knows how to spot hidden damage that others might miss—like waterlogged decking or poor attic ventilation that can shorten the lifespan of your new roof.
Midland Roofing’s experienced team understands Bristol’s coastal conditions, the freeze-thaw cycles, and the wind-driven rain that beats on Rhode Island homes year after year. That’s why we’ve stayed committed to using GAF and Owens Corning shingles, premium materials known for holding up under tough New England weather.
When you trust Midland Roofing for your project, you’re choosing materials that balance beauty, durability, and value. Asphalt shingles are versatile enough to complement any style of home, whether you prefer a clean, classic look or the dimension of architectural shingles that mimic natural slate or wood shakes.
Our asphalt shingles are designed to resist wind uplift, heavy rain, snow, and even algae growth—a big plus in our humid coastal climate. Best of all, they offer an impressive lifespan when installed correctly by an experienced team like ours.
Anyone can say they do good work, but certifications prove it. Midland Roofing is proud to be a GAF Master Elite® Contractor, a recognition given to fewer than 2% of roofers nationwide. We’re also an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor, which means we’ve met rigorous standards for product knowledge, installation quality, and ongoing training.
These certifications allow us to provide some of the strongest warranties in the industry—like GAF’s 25-year workmanship warranty—backed by a company with decades of local trust.
A roof replacement is a big investment, and you deserve to feel confident that your money is well spent. When you hire a company that’s been protecting Rhode Island homes since 1975, you get more than just shingles and nails—you get peace of mind that your roof will perform as promised, year after year.
So, before you sign on with that too-good-to-be-true quote, ask yourself: Will that roofer still be around if something goes wrong in five years? Midland Roofing will.
