Our Metal Roofing Case Studies

Here are actual case studies from our years of installing quality metal roofing in southern New England. Read on for inspiration and information on how to transform your home for a lifetime of beauty and protection.
(1) Farmington, Connecticut: The product is Classic’s Rustic Shake. The total area of metal roofing is 8,500 square feet, installed over one layer of asphalt shingles, with an additional 500 square feet of PVC membrane on 4 small flat roofs. The roof is being installed in conjunction with approximately 80 photovoltaic solar panels. It is one of the largest residential photovoltaic solar/metal roof installations in Connecticut.

(2) Billerica, Massachusetts: A 300-year-old antique 2-story Center Chimney Colonial had a roof deck in poor condition. The roof needed to be stripped and the deck needed to be re-sheathed with plywood. The customer decided on an Energy Star rated Oxford  Slate aluminum metal roof for their house.

(3) 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 – low by New England standards. The existing roof was asphalt shingles, about 15 years old, and was giving the homeowners a lot of trouble: ice dams in the winter and multiple leaks during heavy wind-driven rainstorms.

(4) West Acton, Massachusetts: The steeple that towers over the village of West Acton has been a bit of an eyesore for many years. Our involvement in this project is only part of the restoration of the entire building. The decision to clad the steeple in white Kynar-coated aluminum came after many hours of debate. A copper covering was the first choice, but it was decided that the associated cost was too high. Settling for the less expensive aluminum was still a great choice. We think you will agree when you see the finished project.	Click here to see the complete project case study.
(5) Concord, Massachusetts: This is a new construction project. The cupola was built on-site in historic Concord. It was then transferred to the shop for the copper to be clad to the roof. A design change was made along the way: The original intention to add a weather vane to the top of the cupola was changed to fitting the top with a simple point.

(6) Greenwich, Connecticut: Re-roof with a premium aluminum standing seam metal roof. This is a contemporary style house with low sloped roofs of about 3/12 pitch. The house is about 10,000 square feet with a very complex roofline. The existing roof was asphalt. The roof was stripped off and properly disposed of. Then the preparation begins with the high temp Ice and Water and synthetic underlayment.	Click here to see the complete project case study.
(7) South Hadley, Massachusetts: After the house’s garage roof and part of the main house’s roof were destroyed in an accident, the owner decided to re-roof the whole house. The old metal roof was removed, and replaced with a premium aluminum Oxford Slate metal shingle roof from Classic Metal Roofs.	Click here to see the complete project case study.
