Brewer's Roofing & Exterior Contractor
Across the river and up the hill — roofs, siding, windows, doors, decks, and gutters for Brewer’s hardworking homes.
Exterior Work for the City Across the River
Brewer earned its living on the Penobscot — mills, shipyards, and the hillside neighborhoods of capes and New Englanders that housed the people who worked them. Those homes were built practical and built to last, and they deserve exterior work in the same spirit. We're about twenty minutes away, and Brewer is home-field territory.
River-Valley Weather, Hillside Homes
The river makes its own damp, the hill catches the wind, and Brewer winters are as real as any in Maine. Roofs, walls, and drainage get detailed for all three — because on a hillside street, water always knows which way downhill is.
Twenty Minutes, One Documented Price
Brewer is close to Restorations Roofing & Exteriors, and close means responsive: consultations inside the week, storm checks that get priority, and a crew that shows up when the schedule says. Every project starts with a documented scope, and the price you approve is the price you pay.

Roof Replacement and Repair in Brewer, Maine
Brewer's capes and New Englanders carry simple, honest rooflines — and a century of Maine winters. At Restorations Roofing & Exteriors we replace and repair roofs across the city, from Main Street to the hilltop neighborhoods, twenty minutes from our shop and priced from a documented inspection.
Simple Roofs Done Right Beat Fancy Roofs Done Fast
A straightforward gable still fails at the details — eaves, valleys, chimney flashing, ventilation. We do the unglamorous parts correctly, which is why the roof is still quiet about it twenty years later.
Storm Checks Go to the Top of the List
Twenty minutes means when wind or ice does something ugly, a Brewer storm check goes to the top of our list — and you get a straight, photographed answer about what the roof needs.
Siding Installation in Brewer
Brewer's streets wear clapboard and shingle the practical way — clean lines, honest colors, corner boards that mean it. Restorations Roofing & Exteriors re-sides homes across Brewer in materials that keep that character and drop the maintenance, from mill-era homes to newer builds.
The Street Keeps Its Face
Trim lines and reveals get matched so the house still looks like it belongs on its street — while underneath, modern housewrap, flashing, and ventilation give the walls a longer second century than their first.
Priced From the Real Wall
The scope reflects your actual walls — measured, photographed, assessed — not a per-square guess. Anything the old layers hide gets shown to you and approved in writing before work continues.
Replacement Windows in Brewer
A hillside above a river gets weather from every direction, and old sashes let all of it in. At Restorations Roofing & Exteriors we replace windows across Brewer — installed square in settled openings, air-sealed for January, with the river view left exactly where it belongs.
The View Stays, the Draft Goes
Openings get corrected and sealed so the new units perform as promised — warmer rooms, quieter nights, and a window you can sit beside in February without a blanket.
One Opening at a Time, Never Left Open
The house is never left open — each window comes out and its replacement goes in and is sealed before the next comes out, which makes winter replacements routine when they're planned right.
Entry and Patio Doors in Brewer
Brewer doors work for a living — dooryard to kitchen, garage to mudroom, every day, every season. Restorations Roofing & Exteriors installs entries across the city that take the traffic and the weather: solid construction, honest hardware, frames that hold their geometry.
Built Like the City That Uses Them
The frame, threshold, and flashing get treated as the real project — carpenter work, not just installation. The result closes the same in January as July, year after year.
Measured in Hours, Felt for Years
Most Brewer door replacements finish the day they start — and the difference shows up that night, in the close, the quiet, and the draft that isn't there anymore.
Deck Building in Brewer
A Brewer hillside deck gets the best seat in the valley — river below, Bangor lights across the water. At Restorations Roofing & Exteriors we design and build decks across Brewer, engineered into sloped lots with frost-depth footings and railings that hold the view.
Engineered for the Hill
Sloped sites need real structure — piers sized and set below frost, ledgers flashed correctly into the house, stairs that land where you actually walk. We design it on paper, price it documented, and build it once.
From First Sketch to Last Board
Design and build stay with one crew, so the hillside solution that got drawn is the one that gets built — schedule and progress photos in JobTread the whole way.
Seamless Gutters in Brewer
On a hill, drainage is destiny — water off your roof becomes water in somebody's basement unless it's routed on purpose. Restorations Roofing & Exteriors installs seamless gutters across Brewer sized from the actual roof and pointed deliberately downhill.
Downhill, on Purpose
Downspouts placed where the grade helps instead of hurts, extensions that clear the foundation, and hangers set for snow that slides off a cape roof all at once — drainage that works with the hill.
Small Fixes Worth the Trip
A sagging run or a crushed downspout is a twenty-minute drive for us — so small drainage problems get fixed while they're still small, which is the cheapest maintenance there is.

Schedule a ConsultationWhy Brewer Homeowners Choose Restorations Roofing
Brewer respects work that's done right the first time and priced straight — no drama, no drift, no surprises on the invoice. That's the whole way Restorations Roofing & Exteriors operates, twenty minutes from our own front door.
Honest Assessments First
Not every roof needs replacing and not every wall needs residing. We tell you what we see, what can wait, and what can't — with photos — then price the real scope. Trust earned on the small call wins the big one later.
Mill-Era Homes, No Surprises
Under old siding and roofing we expect what a working city leaves behind — plank sheathing, layered repairs, the occasional soft spot. We document what we find and price changes in writing before proceeding, every time.
The Whole Exterior, One Team
Roof, siding, windows, doors, decks, and gutters are one system — flashing ties into housewrap, drainage protects the foundation, colors get chosen as one palette. One crew accountable for the whole shell beats five subcontractors pointing at each other.

Brewer Exterior Questions, Answered
What Brewer homeowners ask before starting exterior work.
How Fast Can You Get to a Brewer Project?
About twenty minutes — Brewer is some of the closest territory we serve. Consultations schedule within days, and when weather makes something urgent we can usually get eyes on it quickly.
What Comes up in Brewer's Older Mill-Era Homes?
Plank sheathing, generations of repairs, and framing that's settled with the hill — all normal, all manageable. We open things up expecting history, photograph what's there, and approve any changes with you in writing.
Does the River Valley Affect What Materials to Use?
It affects the detailing more than the brand — assemblies that dry, flashing that assumes damp, and fasteners that don't mind humidity. That's standard practice for us, not an upcharge.
Our Gutters Overflow Every Spring — Is That a Gutter Problem or a Roof Problem?
Often both, which is why one crew should look at them together. On a hillside lot the roof sheds fast, the gutters may be undersized or pitched wrong for it, and ice at the eave finishes the job. We check the roof edge, the drip edge, the gutter size, and the downspout placement in one visit, then tell you which part actually needs fixing.
The House Was Re-Sided Once Already — Can You Go over the Old Vinyl?
We'd rather not, and we'll show you why on site. Layering new siding over old traps whatever is behind it and leaves the flashing and housewrap as they were. Stripping to the sheathing lets us see the wall, fix what's soft, and tie the windows and trim into a new water-resistive barrier, so you're not paying to hide a problem.
