A Day on the Roof: What Professional Roofing Really Looks Like in Maine


Early Morning Preparations

The day begins before sunrise at our safety briefing in the CML Roofing and Contracting yard. Coffee in hand, we review the day’s projects spanning from Portland to Scarborough, check weather forecasts, and load our trucks with materials.

First Job of the Day

By 7 AM, we’re at our first site in Portland’s historic district, where an aging Victorian needs significant repairs. The coastal Maine weather has taken its toll on these beautiful old homes, making our work essential for preserving the city’s character.

Professional Assessment

Our inspection reveals:

  • Damaged shingles from winter ice dams
  • Compromised flashing around the chimney
  • Several spots requiring immediate attention

Afternoon Challenges

After lunch, we head to Scarborough for an emergency repair. Maine’s unpredictable weather means we’re always ready to respond to urgent calls. The coastal salt air and strong winds make roofing in this region uniquely challenging.

Quality and Safety First

Every project follows our strict protocols:

  • Multiple safety checks
  • Premium material selection
  • Thorough clean-up procedures
  • Detailed final inspections

As the sun sets over Casco Bay, we wrap up our final job of the day. Being a professional roofer in Maine means adapting to changing conditions while maintaining the highest standards of workmanship. Tomorrow brings new challenges, but that’s what makes this work rewarding.

End of Day

Back at headquarters, we complete our paperwork, plan tomorrow’s routes, and ensure our equipment is ready for another day of protecting Maine homes, one roof at a time.
