Metal Roofing for Exeter’s Historic Downtown and Beyond
Exeter is one of the Seacoast’s most architecturally significant towns — home to Phillips Exeter Academy, the American Independence Museum, and a downtown lined with colonial, Federal, and Victorian homes along Front Street, Water Street, and High Street. Roofing in Exeter often means working sympathetically with historic structures. Our aluminum slate and shake profiles replicate the look of natural slate and cedar that many of these homes were originally built with, while meeting modern performance standards and avoiding the weight of true slate.
Engineered for Exeter’s Squamscott River Climate
Sitting at the falls where the freshwater Exeter River meets the tidal Squamscott, Exeter homes deal with humidity, snow, and coastal-influenced storms. Aluminum roofing resists corrosion, sheds snow to limit ice dams, and reflects solar heat to lower summer cooling costs — and it’s made from roughly 95% recycled material and is fully recyclable, which aligns with Exeter’s preservation-minded community.
