Project Profile: Sudbury, Massachusetts

Description: Built up cold roof, Sudbury Massachusetts. The challenge here was to add insulation and ventilation to a roof that had neither. The pitch on this roof is 3/12, which is considered a low pitch by most standards and certainly for a roof here in New England. The existing roof was asphalt shingles, about 15 years old, and was giving the homeowners a lot of trouble. There were ice dams in the winter, with multiple leaks during heavy wind-driven rain storms.
The roof was stripped down to the tongue and groove wood deck and the waste was properly disposed of. Insulation was added (built up) to bring the house up to code and the ventilation (cold roof) was installed so that the roof worked the way it is supposed to. Check out the story board below to see the results of this project.
