At Couto Construction, we know every home is different, which is why we offer a unique variety of shingle options for every homeowner.
Asphalt
Shingles
Asphalt shingles are the most cost-effective and popular shingles on the market, protecting 80% of the homes in North America. They last up to 30 years and come in a wide variety of colors and styles.
Despite the myth that wood shingles are more prone to water damage and rot, they actually last just as long as asphalt shingles when installed and maintained properly. These shingles are highly resistant to the elements and provide your home with a rustic and natural look.
Also known as “COOL” shingles, these shingles reflect the sun’s rays and absorb less heat than standard shingles, saving you money on home energy consumption.
Don’t see what you’re looking for? We offer the entire line of Owens Corning shingles. Our roofing experts will work with you to find the perfect shingle option for your home.

Couto Construction installed, Siding, Shutters, Windows, Doors, Gutters on our home. The house is quite large with lots of additions which have been added over the years since 1910. These additions create LOTS of bends , turns, nooks and crannies. Honestly this was not cheap, as it was a huge project. Claudio, David, Carlos, Rickey, Marianna, and Lori, hopefully I did not leave anyone out, Worked with us EVERY step of the way!! From the first day that we met Claudio and David, we knew that the Couto family and our family would be joined together. The project was thoroughly discussed, we and they made suggestions and changes during the project. The contract was absolutely written to include EVERYTHING! I liked that because I referred to the contract many times during the project. I was amazed that at no point was stressed out, which is VERY unusual for me. I relaxed and trusted for once in my life. All is perfect! Thank you Couto family!! The Gray pictures are Before and the Red pictures are after.

From the very first encounter with Sales Rep Corey, to the job manager Cesar and his crew, we were extremely happy with Couto Construction. We hired them for siding installation. They came highly recommended from a friend, and had great reviews. From the moment we booked them, we had no anxiety about not getting the results we expected. We really appreciated the App they use doing the process to keep you up-to-date on progress and any issues they find. Cesar was very attentive to any questions we had or issues uncovered during the job. We can't say enough positive things about the work ethic, and quality of work Cesar's crew did. Their attention to detail was great. They showed up on time daily, kept the site tidy, and finished the job faster than we expected.

I called Couto construction for a quote on a new roof and was amazed at how well organized they were and fast. I had called three different companies and they were the only ones to respond and on a Saturday too. The people that answered were both polite and professional, we arranged a meeting the following week and they double checked the day before that I was going to be there. Nick was the estimator and he showed up on time, was very professional and gave us a reasonable quote after walking us through everything that was going to be done. We agreed on the price and two weeks later we had a new roof. The crew was amazing. Richie was the supervisor and he walked me around explaining how it was going to go. The owner showed up and checked in on everything. They were super fast and after two days it was all cleaned up like they had never been there. We did an underlay that looked fantastic the first day and the shingle/trim and gutters the second. It looks great and worthevery penny. Next year we're going with them to do the windows. Thanks guys! Great job!

Roofing FAQS
When do I need a roof replacement?
If your roof is over 20 years old and shows signs of sagging, buckling, or cracking— it may be time for a complete roof replacement. The best way to know for sure is to schedule a free roof assessment with a qualified residential roofing contractor.
How much does a residential roof replacement cost in New Bedford or Rhode Island?
A full roof replacement on a median-sized home in New Bedford or Rhode Island will cost you between $4,000 and $12,000. The price for a roof replacement depends on the size of your home and the type of roof you’re installing.
What is the best brand of shingles?
We install Owens Corning shingles, the best and most energy-efficient shingles on the market. As a Platinum Preferred Contractor, we work with Owens Corning directly to stay up to date on the best roofing practices.
How long does it take to replace a roof?
Roof replacements can take anywhere from 2 to 7 days, depending on the size and scope of the project. Larger or more complicated residential roof installations can take longer than 7 days.
What should you look for in a professional roofing contractor?
When looking for a roofing contractor, you should find a company that’s in good standing with the Better Business Bureau and can install roofs that meet the manufacturers’ standards. If a contractor takes shortcuts, it could cause this warranty to be voided, leaving you to pay for roof repairs out of pocket.
