Wakefield roofing work is driven by two things: architectural asphalt replacement on the town's stock of colonial-revival and mid-century homes, and gutter system replacements sized correctly for large roof footprints and heavy Route 128 storm runoff. Our completed Wakefield full-envelope project — new roof, gutters, and exterior trim on a colonial revival — is a good reference for the scope we handle in this town. We're a 13-mile, one-business-day response from our Sibley Rd. shop in Waltham.
