Resolve Ice Dam Concerns During Your Bay Window Replacement in MA
Posted by Alan Franca on Thu, Jan 19, 2012 @ 12:40 PM
Taking the snowy conditions commonly experienced in New England is essential when you are considering a bay window replacement in MA. Your contractor needs to ensure that the slope of the window’s protrusion is properly angled to prevent ice dams from forming. As you may know, an ice dam can occur even behind freeze boards, and when ice and snow sits there for weeks and months at a time, you home suffers repercussions. Common consequences include peeling paint, shingle damage, and water leaks within the home’s interior.
Our extensive experience in residential roofing allowed us to make this Arlington MA bay window replacement a highlight of this customer’s professional vinyl siding installation. While we placed Rye colored Crane Portsmouth Vinyl Shingle Siding on the structure, we removed the rather unproductive freeze board (seen in before photo) and framed a sharper sloped roof for the new bay window. Addressing specific roofing issues could additionally help prevent ice dams, especially when a qualified roofing contractor helps resolve any other contributors such as insulation and roof ventilation issues.
