The stock
What Maine's housing is made of.
88.5% of Maine's homes predate 1980. 96.3% carry asphalt-shingle roofs, 41.3% are masonry-walled (not a siding market), and 87.6% have a full or partial basement. 90.7% are owner-occupied.
Flood exposure: 905 homes sit in a FEMA Special Flood Hazard Area, while 1,755 (4.8%) carry a First Street flood factor of 5+ — water risk beyond the mapped floodplain.
The read for contractors
The 30,500–31,000 homes at 25+ years with no roof permit on file are where Maine's replacement cycle is furthest along — that cohort, minus fresh permits, is the campaign surface.

Re-roof waves
Maine's permit history has a shape.
Roof permits in Maine cluster into waves — the county file shows the biggest recent years to the right. Homes that didn't replace during a wave are aging on the same clock as the neighbors that did.
The read for contractors
Campaign the non-replacers inside a past wave's footprint — demand that already proved itself once tends to prove itself again.
