Roof Replacement
Upgrade aging roofs with premium asphalt shingles, slate, or flat roofing systems designed for durability and energy efficiency. Our expert team handles complete tear-offs and installations for residential and commercial properties, ensuring proper ventilation and water management. Backed by lifetime warranties, our replacements enhance property value while withstanding New England's harsh weather conditions.
Gutter Installation
Custom gutter solutions using aluminum, copper, or fiberglass materials to protect foundations from water damage. We install seamless systems with optional leaf guards and heating elements for winter ice prevention. Our precision measurements ensure optimal water flow while complementing roof aesthetics with multiple color options available.
Roof Ice Melt Systems
Advanced electric heating systems prevent dangerous ice dams on roofs and gutters. Professionally installed cables create continuous drainage paths during winter months, protecting roofing materials and preventing interior water intrusion. Ideal for historic homes and properties with complex rooflines in snow-prone areas.
Commercial Roofing
Durable flat and low-slope roofing solutions for commercial properties using EPDM, TPO, or PVC membranes. Our team provides energy-efficient installations with proper drainage systems, meeting strict building codes and minimizing business disruptions during projects. Maintenance programs extend roof lifespan while controlling long-term costs.
Storm Damage Repair
24/7 response for urgent roof leaks, wind damage, or fallen debris. Certified technicians perform temporary tarping and permanent repairs using insurance-compliant documentation. We work directly with carriers to streamline claims processing while restoring property safety and structural integrity as quickly as possible.

Report
Called for estimate and response was very quick and professional. The job was completed approximately 3-4 weeks after signing contract. Two men showed up and completed the job in 2 days. They were professional and did excellent work. I would use O'lyn again regarding any roofing issues. Service: Roof repair

We did our research knowing we needed a new roof, but when I read the reviews of O'lyn and met with Roland, We were sold. No hard sells no gimmicks, hard working trusted family business. When work got started we ran into issues on our roof, John, Marco, and Roland were exceptional, they worked with us and made it work. When work was done, and I drove by my house, it looked amazing! Our house roof is the prettiest roof on the street, I am so pleased, so much so we will be doing business with them again. Thank you.

Report
I dreaded replacing the roof, but a leaking skylight made it imperative. O'Lyn was so great to work with. Made the process smooth and painless, and the prices were still good on comparison with other places. They managed to get the whole roof and 4 skylights replaced in one day. And the cleanup was so thorough that our yard looked better than when they first arrived! I know I won't need another roof in my lifetime, but if I did, I would only call O'Lyn.

Report
O'LYN Roofing provided excellent service to replace my house's old roof. When I contacted them, they responded promptly to schedule a meeting with me, through which I was well educated about roof replacement process and roof materials. They did not give me pressure at the end of the meeting so that I could compare their service with other potential service providers. I finally chose O'LYN Roofing because of their professionalism, excellent shingle technology, excellent reputation, and reasonable pricing.
Within a week after I signed the contract with them, they contacted me to schedule roof replacement. During roof replacement, a manager, who is a kind gentlemen, was on-site to answer my questions and supervised the process. The workers are experienced and worked hard. When I went out home, they gave me kind smiles. They put curtains to protect my home when they replaced my house's old roof. As promised, the roof replacement was done within one day.
After finishing the work, they cleaned the surrounding of my house to make sure no nails were left. I am very satisfied with their excellent service and strongly recommend them to anyone who would like to replace their house roofs
