Somerville Neighborhood Architecture & Exterior Upgrades
Victorian and Queen Anne homes near Downtown and Main Street feature steep gables, ornate fascia, and intricate dormer flashings that demand specialized roofing care. Installing GAF Timberline HDZ architectural shingles with custom aluminum valley flashings and ice barriers stops leaks without compromising historical aesthetics.
Capes and colonials in the West End and Heights often suffer from drafty original wood windows, faded siding, and aging 3-tab roofs. Upgrading to energy-efficient Andersen replacement windows and insulated vinyl siding cuts winter heating losses while eliminating painting maintenance.
Gutters and Downspouts on Older Homes
Many Somerville homes still have old half-round or undersized gutters, or gutters that were added without enough downspouts for the steep roof above. Water overflows at the corners and soaks porches and foundations. We size new seamless gutters and downspouts to the roof area so water is carried away properly.
