Capeway Roofing Systems

What Capeway Roofing Systems does

Capeway Roofing Systems Inc. is a privately held, family-owned commercial and industrial roofing contractor headquartered in Westport, Massachusetts, founded in 1986 by Dennis Mello, Joe Calheta, and Manuel Hermenegildo. The company is currently owned and managed by Joe Calheta and his three children, who together bring over 125 years of combined roofing experience. It operates from a single 664 Sanford Road facility and serves the entire New England region via radio-dispatched field crews.

The company installs, replaces, and waterproofs roofing systems on commercial and industrial buildings such as schools, public safety buildings, warehouses, and malls. Its product portfolio spans low-slope and steep-slope systems including asphalt shingles, built-up roofing (BUR), modified bitumen, EPDM, PVC, TPO, copper, slate, wood shingles and shakes, and metal roofing/siding. A distinguishing technical capability is an in-house, full-service metal fabrication shop that produces custom sheet metal in any profile and manufactures metal roofing panels on-site to any length. Capeway is an Approved Applicator for more than 17 major manufacturers (Carlisle, Firestone, Sarnafil, Johns Manville, GAF, Atlas, Versico, CertainTeed, Berridge, DaVinci, Tremco, and others), which enables it to offer manufacturer-backed warranties ranging from 5 years to lifetime depending on system. The firm has accumulated a multi-decade award record, including Carlisle's Perfection Award (2018), Hall of Fame induction (2013), and repeat Firestone Master Contractor and Partner in Quality recognitions.

Revenue is generated through project-based, one-time contracts for installation, re-roofing, waterproofing, and emergency repair services, supplemented by annual maintenance and inspection engagements. The go-to-market model is sales-led and direct-to-customer: project managers, estimators, and supervisors conduct site visits, free estimates are offered via online forms and a prominently displayed customer service line (508-674-0800), and customer referrals are actively solicited. There is no public revenue disclosure, no external institutional investment, and no mobile or software product layer.
