AMP Roofing is a GAF-certified, family-owned roofing contractor serving Richmond, RI and the surrounding villages of Wyoming, Carolina, Shannock, Kenyon, and Hillsdale. We specialize in insurance-based roof replacement and storm-damage repair, backed by a licensed, independent public adjuster we bring in who handles your claim and a GAF 50-year limited warranty on every Timberline HDZ installation. Because Richmond sits well inland in Washington County, its roofs take a beating from heavy snow and ice that coastal towns rarely see. Call us at (401) 681-3123 for a free written, itemized estimate.
Roofs in Richmond face some of the highest snow loads in Rhode Island, and that is the single biggest threat to a roof here. Tucked inland along the Wood River and Route 3 corridor, Richmond does not get the warmer ocean air that washes accumulation off coastal roofs, so a nor’easter routinely leaves homes here carrying 20+ pounds per square foot of snow. We regularly inspect roofs in Wyoming and Carolina after a storm and find the trouble starts with what comes next:
We install GAF Timberline HDZ shingles and proper ice-and-water shield at the eaves specifically because of these inland-RI conditions, and we respond to storm damage within 2 to 4 hours.
Richmond is a rural southern Rhode Island town, and its housing stock is a mix of older mill-village homes and newer single-family houses spread across wooded lots. The historic villages of Shannock and Carolina hold 19th-century homes with steeper roof pitches and detailing that often falls within the Shannock Village and Carolina Village Historic Districts. Out toward Hillsdale, Kenyon, and along Kingstown Road, you’ll find ranches, capes, and colonials on larger parcels, many with attached garages and additions that create valleys and intersecting roof planes where leaks tend to start.
The common roofing issues here follow the homes:
We handle full Richmond roof replacement on every style of home in town, matching the materials and pitch to what the house and the village require.
“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.”

The Richmond building department is located at 5 Richmond Townhouse Road, Wyoming, RI 02898, and can be reached at (401) 539-9000.

From permit to final inspection, we keep the entire process in our hands.

Most roof replacements in Richmond fall in the range of about $9,000 to $20,000, depending on the size of the home, the roof pitch, and how many layers need to come off. Older village homes in Shannock or Carolina with steep pitches and chimney flashing can run higher, while a simple ranch on a single plane lands toward the lower end. If storm damage is involved, your insurance may cover most of the cost — a licensed, independent public adjuster we bring in will tell you exactly where you stand before any work begins.
Yes, a permit is required to replace a roof in Richmond, and AMP Roofing files it for you through the Rhode Island Statewide E-Permitting Portal. The town building department at 5 Richmond Townhouse Road in Wyoming oversees the work, and a final inspection is required when we finish. You won’t have to submit anything yourself — we handle the permit, the schedule, and the inspection.
Most Richmond roof replacements are completed in a single day, with larger or more complex roofs sometimes running into a second day. Permitting through the state portal usually adds about 1 to 3 business days before we start. Homes in the Shannock or Carolina historic districts may need extra lead time for Historic District Commission review, which we coordinate so your project stays on track.
