Case Study: Standing Seam Metal Roof Installation for a Custom Home in Nashua, New Hampshire

Client Overview:

Master Roofers, the most trusted roofing company in New Hampshire for over 80 years, was contacted for a roofing project on a new custom-built home in Nashua, NH. The homeowner and architect had chosen a standing seam metal roof for its durability, aesthetics, and longevity.

Listen to our discussion about this project:

The general contractor, who had worked with Master Roofers on several other projects, recommended the company for its high-quality installations and trusted reputation. The homeowner's primary concern was ensuring a premium, long-lasting roof that would complement the new home's design.

Initial Consultation and Roof Selection:

During the initial meeting, Master Roofers worked closely with the homeowner and the general contractor to ensure all parties were aligned on the project's goals. With various options available for metal roofing, including different panel widths and seam styles, it was essential to determine the right fit for both aesthetics and functionality. After presenting a full color palette, the homeowner selected a Drexel metal roof in Aged Bronze, which complemented the home's design and would age beautifully over time.

As part of the consultation, Master Roofers also discussed the potential challenges associated with metal roofs, particularly in New Hampshire's snowy climate. Metal roofs tend to shed snow in large quantities, which can create hazards around entrances.

To address this, Master Roofers proposed the installation of snow rails, which would prevent heavy snowfalls from creating an avalanche-like effect on the home's walkways. The homeowner appreciated this proactive approach and opted to install the snow rails in key locations around the property.

Roof Installation Process:

The roofing project began as the home's construction progressed. Master Roofers worked closely with the contractor to install the standing seam metal roof in phases, as sections of the home were ready for roofing. The team used a hidden fastener system and double lock seam technique to ensure the roof's longevity and weather resistance. By applying the roof in stages, the team ensured that each section of the home stayed dry and secure during the construction process.

One of the advantages of working with the general contractor was the ability to coordinate the roofing installation with the overall project schedule. Master Roofers was able to work around the contractor's timeline, providing high-quality roofing materials as needed and installing sections of the roof at appropriate times. This phased approach helped the contractor keep the project on track and allowed the homeowner to benefit from a faster, more efficient roofing process.

Final Outcome and Client Satisfaction:

The result was a stunning custom home with a high-quality Drexel standing seam metal roof in Aged Bronze. The roof not only enhanced the home's aesthetic appeal but also provided a durable and energy-efficient solution that would last well beyond 50 years.

Additionally, the snow rails and snow melt cables added discreet functionality, ensuring that the winter roofing system would remain safe and comfortable in winter months without the risk of dangerous snowfalls near entryways.

The homeowner was extremely pleased with the final result, citing the quality of both the roof and the installation process. The addition of snow melt cables in key spots further exceeded their expectations, ensuring that there would be no ice buildup in vulnerable areas. Overall, the project was a success for both the homeowner and the builder, who appreciated Master Roofers' ability to adapt to the construction schedule and deliver a top-notch roofing solution.

Conclusion:

Master Roofers provided the homeowner in Nashua, NH with a custom, high-quality standing seam metal roof that met both aesthetic and functional requirements. By offering expert advice on snow protection and installing the roof in phases, Master Roofers ensured a smooth, efficient process that resulted in a roof that would last for decades.
