Stosz Construction | General Contractors & Roofing in Amherst, MA 01002

Given our local weather with seasonal temperature swings and snow, we often recommend durable asphalt shingles with proper ice and water shield for most homes. For longer-lasting options, we install standing seam metal roofs, which excel at shedding snow, or authentic cedar shakes for a classic New England look with natural insulation properties. We assess your home's specific exposure and structure to recommend the best material for lasting performance.

Yes, absolutely. As a full-service general contractor, we efficiently manage coordinated projects. For example, if you're replacing your roof and updating your kitchen, our team can schedule and oversee both scopes of work. This integrated approach, from site work to finishing details, ensures consistent communication, minimizes disruption, and provides a single point of accountability for your entire home improvement project.

These are common issues in our area. The dark streaks are likely algae stains, which we can safely clean. More critically, separated flashing is a primary cause of leaks. We will repair or replace the flashing using proper techniques and high-quality sealants to restore a watertight seal. Addressing both the cosmetic algae and the structural flashing problem protects your home from water damage, which is essential for maintaining your roof's integrity through Amherst winters.
