Roof Replacement · Malden, MA
Roof re
A new roof built to earn the strongest warranty in the business, installed by the owners themselves.
Serving homeowners across Malden, Medford, Everett, and the surrounding towns for 40 years.
A roof replacement is one of the biggest investments you will make in your home, and it is one you only want to make once. Do it right, with the right installer and the right materials, and you get decades of protection and a warranty that actually stands behind it. Do it wrong and you are calling someone back in a few years. Mark Brady Roofing has been giving Malden homeowners a roof they can stop thinking about for 40 years.
We are a family run, residential roofing company, and the owners, Mark Brady and Glen Curtis, are on every install personally. When you are spending this kind of money, that matters. The person who inspects your roof and quotes the job is the person on the roof making sure it is done to spec. We are fully licensed and insured in Massachusetts, HIC Registration #(781) 324-4312, and certified by GAF, Owens Corning, and CertainTeed.
That certification is the part that pays off years later. It means your new roof qualifies for stronger manufacturer warranties than most contractors can offer, and it means the roof is installed exactly the way those warranties require. A new roof is only as good as the crew that puts it on, and after 40 years, we know how to put it on right.
Signs It's Time to Replace Your Roof
A repair makes sense until it does not. These are the signs your roof is past patching and due for replacement:
- Your roof is 20 or more years old, near the end of an asphalt roof's typical life
- Shingles are curling, cracking, or missing across the whole roof, not just one spot
- You are finding shingle granules in the gutters, a sign the shingles are wearing out
- The roof is leaking in more than one place, or the same leak keeps coming back
- You can see daylight or feel moisture in the attic
- The roof deck is sagging or feels soft
- You have already paid for several repairs and the costs are adding up

Roofing Materials We Install
We install every roof system common in New England, and we help you choose the one that fits your home, your look, and your budget.
- Asphalt shingle. The most popular roof in the area, and what we install most. Installed to manufacturer spec so the warranty holds.
- Metal roofing. Long life, excellent shedding of snow and rain, and a clean modern look.
- Slate. A classic, extremely long-lasting roof that suits many of the area's older and higher-end homes.
- Cedar shake. A natural, distinctive roof with real character, installed by people who know how to detail it.
- Flat and rubber (EPDM/TPO). For low-slope sections and porches, sealed tight against standing water. See our Commercial Roofing page for flat roof systems.
What's Included in a Mark Brady Roof Replacement
A new roof is more than shingles. When we replace a roof, the price includes the full system that keeps water out:
- Full tear-off. We remove the old roof down to the deck so we can see what we are working with, rather than layering over existing problems.
- Deck inspection and repair. We check the wood decking underneath and replace anything rotted or damaged before the new roof goes on.
- Ice and water shield. Installed in the areas most prone to leaks and ice dams, critical in our winters.
- Underlayment. A protective layer over the entire deck as a second line of defense.
- New flashing. Fresh flashing at chimneys, walls, valleys, and every penetration, because old flashing is a common leak source.
- Proper ventilation. Correct attic ventilation to protect the new roof and help it last its full life.
- New shingles or roof system. Installed to manufacturer spec by the owners.
- Complete cleanup. We haul away the old roof and run a magnetic sweep for nails, leaving your property clean.
Why a Certified Installer Matters for Your Warranty
Here is what most homeowners do not realize: the majority of roofing warranty problems come from installation mistakes, not defective products. A great shingle installed poorly still leaks, and a poor install can void the manufacturer warranty entirely.
Because Mark Brady Roofing is GAF Master Elite, Owens Corning Preferred, and CertainTeed certified, your roof is installed to the exact standard those manufacturers require. That does two things for you. It qualifies your roof for stronger, longer manufacturer warranties that uncertified contractors simply cannot offer. And it means the coverage actually holds if you ever need it, because the roof was installed the way the warranty demands. Master Elite is a certification only a small share of roofers earn, and it is the difference between a warranty on paper and a warranty that protects you.

Common Roofing Questions in Malden
How much does a new roof cost in Malden?
Every Malden roof is priced on its own: the size, the pitch, the material you pick, and how many old layers have to come off. Some older Malden homes hide a second or third layer that adds tear-off, so we never quote blind. You get a free written estimate with a firm price first.
Do I need a permit to replace a roof in Malden?
Yes. A roof replacement in Malden requires a building permit, and we pull it for you as part of the job. Handling the permit and the inspection is our responsibility, not something you should have to track down yourself.
How does New England weather affect roofs in Malden?
Malden roofs take a beating from freeze-thaw cycles, winter ice dams, and wind-driven rain off the coast during Nor'easters. We install for that reality, with proper ice-and-water shield, flashing, and ventilation, so your roof holds up season after season.
