Borglund Clay Roofing | Roofing Services in Westborough, MA 01581

Clay tiles are excellent for our local climate. Their natural material and installation method create a 'cold roof' system with a continuous air gap beneath the tiles. This allows for better ventilation and helps keep the roof deck temperature more uniform, which is key to minimizing the freeze-thaw cycle that causes ice dams. For existing roofs, we can assess ventilation and insulation to complement the tile system and prevent future ice dam formation.

Valleys are critical drainage points where two roof planes meet. Leaks often occur due to worn or improperly installed valley flashing, debris buildup, or damage from ice dams common in Westborough. Our repair process involves carefully removing the affected tiles, inspecting and replacing the metal valley flashing with a high-quality, corrosion-resistant material, and then reinstalling the tiles with proper sealing. We ensure the valley is clear and sloped correctly to direct water away from your home.

Our deep local knowledge is our advantage. We don't just patch the visible problem; we diagnose the underlying cause specific to Westborough's weather patterns. For a leak, we check if compromised attic ventilation contributed to ice dam pressure. We also maintain a large inventory of clay tile profiles and colors to match your existing roof perfectly, preserving its curb appeal and value. We treat your home like it's our neighbor's.
