Commercial Roof
Local management company with whom we have completed many projects for in the past called upon us to strip and reroof one of their properties in Wellesley Hills.
In order to strip the roof, a close sidewalk permit had to be obtained as there are multiple businesses in the building and the roof over hangs the sidewalk. Somebody had to be on the ground to allow people into the businesses. The job was started and completed on a Saturday so as to not interfere with the commuter traffic.
The property owner chose CertainTeed Independence Shingle for a new roof. Grace ice and water barrier was installed six feet up from the eaves and in all the valleys. The roof was in such bad shape that there was a lot of roof deck replacement.

New Roof on Porch
After installing a roof last year for a customer on one of his income properties we were called back to install a roof on his residence. He had Crimmins Construction, a well respected contractor from Wayland install a new front porch on his house where we followed up and installed a new roof.
The house is in a wooded area so there was a lot growth on the old roof. The CertainTeed Landmark shingle has a 10 year streak fighter warranty which protects against streaking and discoloration caused by airborne algae. CertainTeed accomplishes this by mixing special copper coated granules in with the colored ones. Rain and moisture disperse the the copper in what is called an environmentally safe cuprous oxide wash. The wash inhibits growth of blue-green algae. Some roofs such as this also have moss on them.
Moss needs organic matter to grow. So the best way to prevent moss growth is the roof clean of all organic matter and to cut back over hanging limbs. If your roof is not that old and there is algae growth there are cleaner that can be used. The best way is to contact your local roofer to find out your options.


Copper Gutters
A customer in Wellesley with a water problem needed some functional copper gutters other than the half round copper that are more for aesthetics than function. Evans contracting went into the shop and designed some gutters that looked good and functioned to resolve his water issues.
