Rebates and financing for a new roof in Acushnet

Mass Save doesn't pay for the roof itself: its insulation and windows offers cover insulation, air sealing and windows, and roofing is not on the HEAT Loan's list of eligible measures.

The insulation can be covered: after a Home Energy Assessment, Mass Save pays 75 to 100 percent of approved insulation and air sealing in Acushnet. Attics are part of it, so book the assessment before the roof work starts.

Do you need a permit for a new roof in Acushnet?

Yes. Re-roofing is not exempt under the Massachusetts building code, so Acushnet expects a building permit, usually pulled by the contractor. 74% of Acushnet's homes were built before 1980 (Census ACS 2018-2022), and work that disturbs paint in a home built before 1978 has to follow the lead-safe renovation rules.
