FAQs
How does a standing seam metal roof handle common local problems like ice dams and gutter overflow?
Our standing seam systems are specifically engineered for New England's climate. The interlocking, raised seams allow snow and ice to shed cleanly, preventing the buildup that causes ice dams and subsequent gutter overflow. The panels are custom-fitted and secured with concealed clips, creating a smooth surface that minimizes places for ice to grip. This design, combined with proper attic ventilation we always address, significantly reduces the risk of the water infiltration and structural strain common with traditional roofs in our snowy Tunbridge winters.
What does your roof replacement process involve, and how long does it typically take?
Our replacement process begins with a thorough on-site evaluation of your existing roof and structure. We then handle the complete tear-off and disposal of old materials. Our machine-formed panels are custom fabricated to your roof's exact dimensions for a precise fit. Installation is performed by our experienced crew using specialized equipment. For a typical Tunbridge home, the installation itself usually takes 2-4 days, but the total project timeline depends on size and complexity. Because we limit our yearly projects, we can dedicate the time needed to ensure every detail is correct, aiming for a single, flawless installation.
Do you install skylights with your metal roofs, and how do you ensure they won't leak?
Yes, we expertly integrate skylights into our standing seam metal roofs. Preventing leaks is our primary concern. We use manufacturer-approved curbs and flashing kits specifically designed for metal roofing systems. The critical step is creating a watertight seal where the flashing meets our custom metal panels. Our technique involves meticulous sealing and fastening, often using lock-seam technology that integrates the flashing directly into the roof's standing seams. This method, honed over decades in Vermont's rainy and snowy conditions, provides a durable, reliable seal that stands up to the weather.
