Wayland is a wooded town — big lots, mature tree canopy, and homes that sit under shade most of the day. That's the environment where cedar shake and correctly-flashed skylights either thrive or fail early. The majority of our Wayland work is cedar restoration, skylight replacement, and architectural asphalt with heavy ice-and-water shield around every curb and valley. We're a 10-mile, one-business-day response from our Sibley Rd. shop in Waltham.
Why Wayland homeowners choose Palma
- Cedar shake is a core specialty. Hand-split cedar, copper valleys, hidden ridge vents, and balanced intake/exhaust ventilation — the detail that keeps cedar dry and lasting on wooded Wayland lots.
- Skylight replacement done right. New curbs, step and apron flashings, and ice-and-water shield extended around every unit — Velux and equivalents.
- Wooded-property experience. Moss, shade retention, tree-scrape, and heavy debris load are normal Wayland conditions we plan around.
- GAF certified. Top 2% of US roofing contractors — for Wayland homes moving to architectural or heritage-line asphalt with a 50-year system warranty.
- MA HIC #CS-110335. Fully registered with the Massachusetts Office of Consumer Affairs and insured for Wayland Building Department permit work.
- 10-year craftsmanship warranty on every install, on top of the manufacturer's material warranty.
