Best Residential Roofing Contractors
Trusted Residential Roofing Company Serving Essex County Since 1977
When homeowners across Essex County and the Merrimack Valley need a roof they can rely on, they turn to AB Carnes Roofing.
For nearly five decades, our team has specialized in one thing — expert residential roofing installation and replacement. Since 1977, AB Carnes Roofing has completed thousands of roofing projects throughout Northeastern Massachusetts, helping homeowners protect their homes with durable, high-performance roofing systems built to last.
Unlike general contractors who treat roofing as an add-on service, we make roofing our sole focus. That specialization allows us to deliver a higher standard of workmanship, better installation practices, and long-term performance that many multi-service companies simply cannot match.
A Local Roofing Contractor Focused on Long-Term Protection — No Shortcuts
Your roof is your home’s first defense against:
- New England weather

- Wind-driven rain
- Snow loads
- Moisture intrusion
At AB Carnes Roofing, we install premium roofing systems using trusted materials such as:
✔ CertainTeed Landmark shingles
✔ GAF Timberline architectural shingles

Built for More Than Code Compliance
Your roof should do more than meet minimum standards — it should protect your home for years to come.
That’s why we install premium roofing systems, such as CertainTeed Landmark and GAF Timberline architectural shingles, and go beyond basic building code requirements.
While many contractors install ice and water protection to the minimum standard, our approach is more protective. We extend Carlisle WIP ice and water barrier at least three feet beyond interior wall lines on all leading edges, helping guard against leaks and ice-dam damage.
It’s a small installation change that can make a big difference in performance.
