Roofing, Siding & Remodeling Built for Westbrook's Mill-Town Homes
Trusted by homeowners and landlords from Cumberland Mills to Saccarappa and the Presumpscot River
Westbrook grew up around the Presumpscot River and its mills, and the housing still shows it. Dense neighborhoods near Main Street and Cumberland Mills hold older single-family homes, two- and three-family houses, and converted multi-unit buildings, while newer streets farther out are filled with capes, ranches, and split-levels from the postwar decades on. Many of these buildings are decades old and due for exterior work. As a Portland-based contractor just down the road, M & Son Construction knows Westbrook's housing stock well and can get to your property quickly.
Built for What Westbrook's Weather Actually Does to a Home
Westbrook homes deal with heavy snow, ice dams, and freeze-thaw cycling, and older houses make it worse: thin insulation, limited ventilation, and layers of old roofing and siding hide trouble until it shows up inside. Multi-family buildings with flat or low-slope roof sections add their own challenges, since standing water shortens the life of the wrong roofing material. Properties along the Presumpscot River can also fall under Maine's mandatory shoreland zoning, which can add setback and permitting review.
Roofing for Westbrook Homes
We install and repair metal, rubber (EPDM), and asphalt shingle roofing. Rubber roofing is a strong fit for the flat and low-slope sections common on older multi-family and mixed-use buildings, and metal and architectural shingles suit pitched roofs. On older buildings we inspect the deck and ventilation before covering anything.
Siding & Exterior Upgrades
We install vinyl, fiber cement, and traditional wood and cedar shingle siding. For older Westbrook homes, a new siding job is a chance to fix the weather barrier and flashing that often failed years ago, not just change the look.
Additions & Remodeling
Westbrook homeowners add rooms, convert attics, update kitchens and baths, and renovate older houses and multi-family properties. For landlords, we can plan work to limit disruption to tenants and keep the schedule predictable.
New Construction & Home Improvement
Beyond roofing and siding, we handle new structural framing, garages, and the full range of home improvement work, including windows, doors, decks, and interior remodeling.

Westbrook, Maine Customers — Frequently Asked Questions
I own a two- or three-family house in Westbrook. Do you work on multi-unit buildings?
Yes. We work on single-family homes and multi-family properties. For landlords, we can plan roofing, siding, and renovation work to minimize tenant disruption and keep the schedule predictable.
What's the best roofing for a flat or low-slope roof?
Rubber (EPDM) roofing is a strong choice for flat and low-slope sections because it's durable, seamless, and handles standing water far better than ordinary shingles. We'll look at your roof's slope and drainage and recommend what fits.
My older home has had several layers of roofing. Is that a problem?
It can be. Multiple layers add weight and can hide deck damage. On older homes, we inspect the deck and ventilation before installing anything new, so we fix problems rather than cover them up.
How do I stop ice dams?
Ice dams usually come from heat escaping through the roof, so the fix starts with insulation, air sealing, and ventilation along with the roofing. Proper underlayment at the eaves helps too.
Can new siding fix drafts and moisture problems?
It can help. A siding replacement is a chance to repair the weather barrier and flashing behind it, which has often failed on older homes. We'll look at what's happening behind the siding before recommending a plan.
Will my project need extra permitting near the river?
Possibly. Maine's mandatory shoreland zoning applies near rivers and other water bodies statewide, and additions or changes to a home's footprint near the Presumpscot can trigger setback and permitting review. We build this into planning from the start.
Can you add a room, convert an attic, or renovate a kitchen or bath?
Yes. We handle additions, attic conversions, and interior remodeling as well as exterior work.
You're based in Portland. How quickly can you get to Westbrook?
Westbrook is right next door, so site visits and scheduling are usually quick.
