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.

A Metal Roofing Steeple in 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. Learn more about A Metal Roofing Steeple in West Acton, Massachusetts.
