About

A roofing company that mostly says “not yet”

Vesna Nilsson started Nilsson Roof Care in 1991 after years of tearing off roofs that were still good. Her rule is to look first, clean what can be cleaned and replace only what has to go.

The company grew by referral, house by house, in the same few valleys. Today it is Vesna and a crew of eight, with a care team for gutters and moss and roofers for repairs. Most of the roofs they care for are under trees.

    Vesna does the first visit on every new roof and writes the note herself. She would rather tell you the roof can wait than sell you a new one, and her number is on the note.

How the crew works

Four habits on every roof

  • A harness on every roof

    Anyone who goes up wears a harness tied to an anchor. Nobody works at an edge without a rope.

  • A note after every visit

    Photos and plain words, whether or not there was work to do.

  • Small first

    We clean and mend before we replace, and we say what can wait.

  • The same crew

    The care team learns your roof, and we send the same people each fall where we can.
