Roofing in Middleton, Massachusetts

What applies to this work in Middleton, Essex County: Mass Save, rebates and financing, and the permit. Then the contractors serving the town.

30 contractors serving Middleton.

Is Middleton in Mass Save?

Partly. Middleton is a municipal light plant town: its electricity comes from the Middleton Electric Light Department, and light plant customers are outside Mass Save's electric program. National Grid, an investor-owned gas company, also serves the town, so a home with a National Grid gas account can use Mass Save through it.

For weatherization, a National Grid gas account is enough, even one that only heats water. A home with no gas service uses the light plant's own programs.

Middleton is on the state's list of municipal light plants; Mass Save in municipal light plant towns has the full decision tree.

Rebates and financing for a new roof in Middleton

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 through a National Grid gas account: after a Home Energy Assessment, Mass Save pays 75 to 100 percent of approved insulation and air sealing. Attics are part of it, so book the assessment before the roof work starts. Homes with no gas service use the light plant's own weatherization programs.

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

Yes. Re-roofing is not exempt under the Massachusetts building code, so Middleton expects a building permit, usually pulled by the contractor. 41% of Middleton'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.
