This directory holds a single roofing listing for Benton, Maine. It is an address and contact record — no Google rating has been matched to it.
The listing is recorded in Kennebec County. Roofing permits and inspections are issued locally rather than by the state, so a re-roof in Benton goes through Kennebec County or the municipality's own building department, whichever holds jurisdiction at the property.
Hiring a roofer in Benton: what this page knows
Maine keeps no state license or register for roofing contractors, which puts the weight on permits, insurance certificates and track record; the Maine roofing license rules say so in full.
Maine's peak severe-weather season: November–March. The Maine storm center lists any National Weather Service alert active right now. NOAA's Storm Events Database holds 49 severe-weather events for Kennebec County between 2016 and 2026 — the county the listings on this page put Benton in. The most recent event meeting the dataset's severity definition was a hail report measuring 1.00 in (Quarter - Half Dollar) on June 28, 2026, a preliminary report that has not yet been through NOAA's quality-control review.
We have not modeled a cost index for Benton. The national baseline puts a full roof replacement at $5,625–$27,000 and a repair at $250–$3,500; local labor, permit fees and access move both.

Licensing for roofers working in Benton
Maine issues no roofing license and keeps no state register of roofing contractors, so there is no state record to check a Benton roofer against.
That puts the weight on a permit and an inspection through Kennebec County or the city, on proof of liability and workers' compensation cover, and on the contractor's own track record.
Source: official Maine guidance. Checked August 2026. Licensing rules change — verify before you sign anything.
What roofing work costs
We have not modeled a cost index for Benton, so there is no Benton figure here. These are the national baseline bands, unadjusted.
National reference bands, not quotes and not local numbers. Local labor rates, permit fees and access all move them.

* The most recent data year is partial. NOAA publishes storm reports on a rolling basis and the final months are still being processed, so a low count in the last year is not evidence of a quiet year. The curated archive behind these counts runs through May 31, 2026; anything later sits in the preliminary block below.
Notable events in the archive
- May 22, 2022 -- Hail (Ping Pong Ball hail, 1.50 in)
- Jun 30, 2021 -- Thunderstorm Wind (74 kt gust) -- $200K property damage reported
- Aug 25, 2020 -- Thunderstorm Wind (50 kt gust) -- $20K property damage reported
Selected by the dataset’s own rule rather than by editorial choice: the largest hail, the peak wind gust, the strongest tornado and the two costliest events by recorded property damage, deduplicated and newest first. Any dollar figure above is NOAA’s recorded estimate for that one event.
Preliminary — not yet in the permanent archive
8 preliminary storm reports have been filed for Kennebec County since June 1, 2026: 7 thunderstorm wind events and 1 hail report. The largest hail in the window is 1.00 in (Quarter - Half Dollar), reported June 28, 2026. The strongest gust reported is 60 kt (about 69 mph), on June 28, 2026.
Preliminary reports covering 2026-05-31 onward come from National Weather Service storm reports filed as events occur. They have not yet been through the quality-control review that produces the permanent archive, and individual reports may later be revised, combined or withdrawn. NOAA Storm Prediction Center storm reports.
What these counts cover. County figures count events NOAA recorded against a county (hail, thunderstorm wind and tornadoes). High wind, winter storms, ice storms, blizzards, heavy snow, hurricanes and tropical storms are recorded against National Weather Service forecast zones rather than counties, so they are reported at state level instead. Counts reflect events that were observed and reported.
“Significant” on this page means an event meeting any one of three tests: hail 1.00 in across or larger, a wind gust of 58 kt or more (the National Weather Service severe thunderstorm criterion), or any tornado. It is a severity definition used by this dataset and is not an official NOAA classification.
The damage figure. $230,000 is the sum of NOAA’s recorded property-damage estimates across every event in Kennebec County over the period — a county total, not a figure for any one property, any one building or any one claim. NOAA records these figures as estimates made at the time of reporting. They are not adjusted for inflation, and they are frequently absent or zero — a zero means nothing was recorded, not that nothing was damaged.
Source. Archived figures come from the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information Storm Events Database, covering 2016 through May 31, 2026. Anything after that date comes from NOAA Storm Prediction Center preliminary storm reports and is labelled preliminary wherever it appears. Both are US Government works in the public domain.
