Roofs in Glocester take a beating from snow and ice more than almost anywhere else in Rhode Island. Sitting inland in the northwestern corner of the state, Glocester homes face some of the highest snow loads in the state — inland storms drop heavier accumulations than coastal towns because the snow doesn’t get washed out by warmer ocean air. After a nor’easter rolls through the George Washington Management Area and the hills around Route 44, we routinely inspect roofs carrying 20+ pounds per square foot.
The bigger threat is what follows the snow:
Left alone, these add up to rot, stained ceilings, and failed underlayment. A storm-damage inspection catches the problem before it reaches your living space.
Glocester is a rural town of older farmhouses, antique colonials, and newer single-family homes spread across wooded acreage. In Chepachet Village you’ll find historic 18th- and 19th-century homes with steep gable roofs, while Harmony, Clayville, and West Glocester lean toward ranches, capes, and custom-built homes on large lots.
That mix creates specific roofing challenges. Older Chepachet homes often have layered roofing, undersized ventilation, and original wood decking that needs evaluation before a new roof goes on. The wooded rural lots common across town mean heavy leaf and pine debris in valleys, plus more exposure to limb strikes. For most Glocester roof replacement projects we install GAF Timberline HDZ architectural shingles — they hold up to the snow loads and wind this part of the state sees, and they carry the GAF 50-year limited warranty. A typical Glocester replacement runs in the $9,000–$20,000 range depending on roof size, pitch, and whether old layers and damaged decking need to come off; larger or steep historic homes can run higher.
“When my insurance only wanted to approve a repair, Nick’s knowledge of the policy and the matching law got my entire roof covered — plus the interior smoke damage. My $85,000 claim cost me only my $2,000 deductible. The crew was professional, thorough, and cleaned up every nail. I recommend AMP to everyone.”
“Had a great experience with the company. They made the whole process smooth and I didn’t have to do anything.”
“The roof was removed and replaced with great concern and professionalism. I appreciate not having to worry about my roof for the next 50 years.”

Yes, a roof replacement in Glocester requires a building permit, and AMP Roofing files it for you — you don’t have to handle the paperwork. Rhode Island permits go through the RI Statewide E-Permitting Portal, where AMP is registered, and approval typically takes about 1–3 business days. Your project still requires a final inspection once the new roof is on.
The Glocester Building Department is located at 1145 Putnam Pike, Chepachet, RI 02814, and can be reached at (401) 568-6206. If your home falls within the Chepachet Historic District, the project may also need Historic District Commission review, which adds lead time — we handle that process for you as well, so a historic Chepachet home is no obstacle to getting the work done right.
AMP Roofing serves every corner of Glocester. We work throughout Chepachet, West Glocester, Harmony, and Clayville, and along the main routes that thread the town — Putnam Pike (Route 44), Route 102, and Route 94.

Most Glocester roof replacements fall in the $9,000–$20,000 range, depending on the size and pitch of your roof, how many old layers need to be torn off, and whether any decking is rotted.

Yes, and AMP Roofing files it for you through the RI Statewide E-Permitting Portal, where we’re registered. Approval usually takes about 1–3 business days, and a final inspection is required when the roof is finished. The Glocester Building Department is at 1145 Putnam Pike, Chepachet, RI 02814, (401) 568-6206. Homes in the Chepachet Historic District may also need Historic District Commission review, which we handle.
Most Glocester homes are re-roofed in one to two days of actual work, weather permitting. Permitting through the state E-Permitting Portal adds about 1–3 business days up front, and historic Chepachet homes needing Historic District Commission review take a bit longer. AMP schedules around Glocester’s snow and storm seasons to get your roof buttoned up before the next nor’easter.
Yes. After heavy snow, ice dams, or wind brings down limbs onto a Glocester roof, AMP responds within 2–4 hours and documents the damage.
