Winterport's Roofing & Exterior Contractor
Our shop is on Lebanon Road. Roofs, siding, windows, doors, decks, and gutters for the town we come home to every night.
Built From the Town We Come Home To
Restorations Roofing is based at 300 Lebanon Road, which makes Winterport the one town where the drive to your house is measured in minutes. The trucks park here, the work is hardest to hide here, and the houses — the captains' homes along Main Street, the farmhouses on the roads west, the capes and ranches tucked into the woods between — are ones we drive past every day of the year.
River Wind on Main Street, Deep Frost on the Back Roads
Winterport got its name because the Penobscot stayed open here when Bangor froze — which tells you what the river does to the village: wind and damp come up the bank onto Greek Revival and Italianate homes standing since the shipbuilding years. Head west on Route 139 or 69 and it turns inland fast — open fields, wooded lots, seventies capes and ranches, and the snow load and ice dams that go with them. One town, two sets of site conditions, and we detail each roof for the one it actually sits in.
Minutes From the Shop, Documented Like Every Job
Here the drive-time story runs the other way: Winterport is the town Restorations Roofing & Exteriors reaches first, before the Bangor loop and the bay towns. A storm check or a walkthrough is a short trip up Lebanon Road, and the job still runs the way every one of ours does — documented scope in JobTread, progress photos as it happens, and the price you approve is the price you pay.

Roof, siding, windows, doors, decks, and gutters — one crew for the whole shell, based right here in town. Explore what we bring to Winterport homes:
Roofing
Replacement and repair on Main Street antiques and back-road capes — detailed for river wind and inland snow.
Custom Siding
Clapboard and trim that keep the Historic District looking like itself; durable cladding for the farms and newer lots beyond.
Replacement Windows
Tight, square replacements for drafty village sash and fogged seventies units alike.
Entry & Patio Doors
Entries with the proportions an 1850s front deserves — and the seals a Maine January demands.
Custom Decks
Decks that face the Penobscot or the back field — frost-depth footings, built by the crew from up the road.
Seamless Gutters
Seamless runs formed on site, sized for spring melt off steep village roofs and long farmhouse eaves.
Roof Replacement and Repair in Winterport
Winterport roofs are the ones we see first and see most — steep Main Street rooflines that shed river weather, and the lower-pitched capes and ranches of the seventies along the 139 and 69 corridors where snow sits and ice dams form. At Restorations Roofing & Exteriors we replace and repair both in architectural shingles and standing seam metal, with the assembly detailed for the side of town it's on.
Two Kinds of Weather, One Town
Village roofs get edge fastening and sealed starters for the wind coming up off the Penobscot; back-road roofs get ice-and-water membrane run high and ventilation that keeps the deck cold. The scope spells out which — no generic package for a town that isn't generic.
The Roof We Drive Past
Every Winterport roof we build is one we'll see again for years — on the way to the shop, to the post office, to the next job. That's a reason to get the ridge straight and the flashing right the first time, and a reason you can hold us to it.
Siding Replacement in Winterport
Clapboard on a Greek Revival, shingle on a farmhouse ell, vinyl gone chalky on a seventies ranch — Winterport has all three within a mile of the shop. Restorations Roofing & Exteriors re-sides homes across town in fiber cement, premium vinyl, and wood where the house calls for it, with corner boards and casings kept to the proportions the street already has.
Keep the Street Looking Like Winterport
In the Historic District the trim is the architecture. We reproduce profiles instead of flattening them, then flash, wrap, and vent the wall behind them to modern standards — so the character stays and the rot stops.
Old Walls, Documented Surprises
Under 1850s clapboard we expect plank sheathing, patched sills, and the occasional soft spot. We photograph what we find, price any change in writing, and don't move on until you've approved it.
Replacement Windows in Winterport
A hundred-and-fifty-year-old sash on Main Street and a fogged 1978 unit on a back-road cape fail for different reasons and get replaced in different ways. At Restorations Roofing & Exteriors we replace windows across Winterport with units installed square and air-sealed — full-frame where the old frame is done, insert where it's sound — sized to keep the divided-light look the village homes were built with.
Sized to the House, Not the Catalog
Per-opening scoping means the parlor windows can be done right this year and the ell can wait — and because we're minutes away, phasing over two seasons costs you nothing in scheduling.
Divided Lights Without the Drafts
Simulated-divided-light units keep the six-over-six look the village homes were built with, in an insulated unit that actually seals — the look of 1850, the performance of now.
Entry and Patio Doors in Winterport
Village entries carry sidelights, transoms, and pilasters that a stock slab can't replace; farmhouse and ranch entries mostly need to stop leaking air at the threshold. Restorations Roofing & Exteriors installs entry and patio doors across Winterport with the frame, sill, and flashing treated as the real project and the door chosen to fit the front it's on.
An Entry That Fits an 1850s Facade
Fiberglass and wood units in proportions that suit a tall Greek Revival doorway, hung square by carpenters — most replacements finish in a day, and the difference is the first north wind that doesn't come through.
Side Doors Take the Traffic
In a Winterport farmhouse the kitchen door off the drive gets used ten times for every one the front door does — it gets the same threshold, weatherstripping, and flashing attention, because that's where the draft actually comes from.
Deck Building in Winterport
Some Winterport decks look at the Penobscot and the Bucksport hills across it; more look at a field, a stream, or the garden off the kitchen. At Restorations Roofing & Exteriors we design and build decks across town in wood and composite, engineered for frost depth, snow load, and the way you'll actually use it.
From the Shop to Your Backyard
Footings below frost, ledgers flashed into the wall rather than bolted over the siding, stairs that land where you walk — and a crew close enough that the last railing cap gets fixed the week you mention it.
Built for Snow Sitting on It
A deck here carries real snow load from December to March — framing spans, post sizes, and fastener choices get set for it, so the platform that's great in July isn't sagging in April.
Seamless Gutters in Winterport
Steep village roofs dump spring melt fast; long farmhouse eaves carry a lot of water a long way. Restorations Roofing & Exteriors forms seamless gutters on site in Winterport, sized from your actual roof area and pitch, and route downspouts so meltwater lands away from the foundation and off the front walk.
Sized for Spring on the Penobscot
Continuous runs with joints only at corners, hangers spaced for snow slide, and guards where the maples justify them — drainage done as part of the exterior system, not an afterthought bolted on later.
Ice at the Eave, Handled
Where a north-facing eave builds ice, we look at the roof first — ventilation and membrane — before blaming the gutter. Sometimes the fix is upstream, and we'll say so rather than sell you more aluminum.

Detailed for the river side and the field side of town — from a shop in the middle of it.
Schedule a ConsultationWhy Winterport Homeowners Choose Restorations Roofing
Restorations Roofing & Exteriors is based here and we live here, which changes the math on every job: the site is minutes away, the finished work is something we drive past for years, and the homeowner is someone we'll see at the post office on Saturday.
Proximity You Can Actually Use
A leak after a nor'easter, a punch-list item, a question about a color sample — in Winterport those are short trips, not scheduled drives. Consultations schedule fast, and small things get handled on the way past instead of waiting for the next time a crew is in the area.
Old Village Houses, Handled With Respect
The homes in the Historic District went up in the shipbuilding years for captains and merchants, and they show their age honestly — plank sheathing, wavy rooflines, trim profiles nobody stocks. We expect it, photograph what we find, and price changes in writing before we go on.
A Documented Price, Not a Guess
Every project starts with a documented scope: what we're doing, what it costs, and what happens if we find something under the old layers. The price you approve is the price you pay — changes only happen in writing, with your sign-off.

Winterport Exterior Questions, Answered
What Winterport homeowners ask before starting exterior work.
How Fast Can You Get to a House in Winterport?
Faster than anywhere else we work — the shop is at 300 Lebanon Road, so most of town is a few minutes away. Consultations schedule within days, and when weather makes something urgent we can usually get eyes on it quickly.
My House Is in the Historic District — Can You Match the Old Trim and Rooflines?
Yes. Greek Revival and Italianate homes carry cornice returns, wide corner boards, and brackets that stock trim doesn't reproduce. We match the profiles, keep the proportions, and put modern flashing and housewrap behind them, so the house looks like itself and stops leaking like it.
Does Living Near the Penobscot Change What My Roof or Siding Needs?
On the village side, yes: wind comes up the bank with damp behind it, so edge fastening, sealed starters, and drainage behind the siding matter more than the brand on the bundle. Out on the back roads the problem flips to snow load and ice dams — same crew, different details.
Do You Work on Older Farmhouses and Connected Barns Out on the Rural Roads?
Yes — long eaves, ells, and barn roofs are regular work. We scope each roof plane and wall honestly, tell you what can wait, and document the whole thing in JobTread so a big property still gets one clear price.
Can You Do the Whole Exterior at Once, or One Piece at a Time?
Either. Roof, siding, windows, doors, decks, and gutters are one system, so doing them together ties every flashing detail into one assembly and saves mobilization. If the budget says phase it, we sequence the work so nothing done this year has to be redone next year — and we're close enough that phasing is painless.
