The exterior envelope, watched all year.
Roof, Window & Siding Care is the practice's home for the exterior envelope of the home — the roof, the siding, the windows, the doors, and the weather-protection work that keeps the rest of the property dry, intact, and quietly functional through every season New England can produce.
The exterior envelope of a home is the most under-attended and most consequential system on the property. The roof that is one storm from a leak does not announce itself until the leak arrives. The flashing that has been slowly failing for two years is invisible from the ground. The siding that is letting water behind it is doing damage that will cost ten times more to fix than it would have cost to catch. New England homes face weather most of the country never sees — ice dams, freeze-thaw cycles, salt air on the Cape, slate displacement after high winds — and the homes that survive it are the ones whose envelopes are watched all year long.
Roof, Window & Siding Care covers the full exterior envelope, in two modes. The recurring side is run through scheduled Rounds — annual roof inspection, gutter and downspout monitoring, post-storm walk-throughs, ice dam mitigation in winter, flashing and seal checks, window and door operation tests, and the small interventions that catch problems while they are still small. The project side is run through Procedures: full roof replacements, slate restoration, siding repair and replacement, window and door installation, gutter system rebuilds, and the larger envelope work that defines a home's resilience for the next twenty years. The same Care Team runs both.
The work is documented in your Chart with the same care as any other Procedure. The condition of every elevation is tracked over time. Roof age, flashing history, window and door inventory, and post-storm findings all live in the same record. When a replacement becomes necessary, it is planned years in advance, scoped properly, and executed by people who already know the building — not by a roofer who has never seen the property until the day the leak appears.
The full envelope, watched all year.
Roof, Window & Siding Care covers the full set of exterior envelope systems most New England homes need attended to year-round, plus the larger envelope work that defines a home's protection for decades.
Roofing
Asphalt, slate, cedar, and metal roofing. Inspection, repair, replacement, and the specialized work that historic and high-end roofs require.
Flashing & sealing
The seams, joints, and transitions where most roof failures actually begin. Inspected, maintained, and repaired before water finds them.
Gutters & downspouts
Inspection, cleaning, repair, and full system replacement. Drainage routed to keep water away from foundations and hardscape.
Ice dam mitigation
The combination of attic insulation, ventilation, and roof-edge protection that prevents the New England problem most homes never solve. Active monitoring during storm seasons.
Siding & trim
Clapboard, cedar shingle, shake, and the historic siding materials common to MetroWest and Cape Cod. Inspection, repair, replacement, and finish coordination.
Windows & glazing
Window inspection, restoration of historic windows, full replacements, glazing repair, and the operation and weather-sealing work that keeps a window doing its job.
Doors & entries
Exterior doors, storm doors, weatherstripping, hardware, and the careful work that keeps an entry both functional and weather-tight.
Post-storm response
After major weather, the Care Team walks the property and inspects the envelope before damage compounds. Findings go in your Chart and into the next Round.
Three modes of care, one team.
Roof, Window & Siding Care happens in three modes. All three are written into your Care Plan, all three are performed by the same Care Team, and all three are documented in your Chart.
i.
Rounds
Scheduled visits from your Care Team. The recurring care your property needs, performed on a calendar built into your Care Plan and documented in your Chart after every visit.
ii.
Procedures
The larger pieces of work — installations, design-build projects, equipment replacements, full repaints. Scoped in a Care Proposal, performed by the same Care Team that runs your Rounds, and folded back into your Chart when complete.
iii.
The Evaluation
The deepening diagnostic baseline of your home. Drone imagery, thermal scans, equipment inventories, monitored systems, and the records that grow over time into a complete picture of your property.
Begin with a conversation about your envelope.
Intake is the first step. It is a single conversation about your property and what you want care to look like. From there, an Assessment, a Care Plan, and an envelope that is watched all year long.
