New Metal Roof for Sudbury, MA Homeowners

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.
