Metal roofing in Colchester, VT has to hold against wind coming off Lake Champlain and shed wet snow that sits heavy on shingles. WCR Construction Inc installs standing seam systems and repairs metal roofs in Colchester.
Metal roof installation in Colchester, VT is a wind problem as much as a snow problem. Clip spacing and edge detailing decide whether panels hold in a gale.
Standing seam has no exposed screws to back out. On Colchester roofs that face the lake, that difference shows up after the first hard winter.
We form eaves, rakes, and valleys in metal, then set panels so they expand and contract without pulling at the Colchester fastening system.
Metal roof repair in Colchester frequently starts at the edges. Wind lifts poorly fastened trim and works under panels at the rake and the eave.
Older exposed fastener roofs leak at the screws. Washers crack, screws loosen, and every one of those holes lets water into a Colchester deck.
We replace the hardware, reseal the seams and penetrations, and swap out any Colchester panel that is dented, corroded, or bent past repair.
