One of our recent jobs was right here in Southbridge: a standing seam metal roof, new gutters, a full vinyl re-side, and new windows and doors. The shed got the same treatment so the whole property matched. If you're weighing a few exterior projects at once, that's a good look at how we sequence them. Roof first, then gutters and openings, then siding, so nothing new gets damaged by the next step.
Southbridge grew as a mill town along the Quinebaug River, and a lot of the housing still reflects that: older multifamily homes, wood-frame houses on tight lots and plenty of buildings that have been re-sided more than once. Peel back the layers and you often find several generations of material, old flashing that's done its job for decades, and sheathing that needs a careful look before anything new goes on.
Standing seam metal makes sense on a lot of Southbridge homes. Snow slides off, there are no shingles to blow away, and it holds up for decades. We pair it with 5-inch K-style aluminum gutters and downspouts pitched to drain. Your siding goes over taped Tyvek with every window and door wrapped. Financing through Hearth has no-money-down options if you want to do it all together.
What we see on Southbridge houses
- Older multifamily and mill-era wood-frame homes
- Houses with several layers of siding from past jobs
- Roofs that would benefit from standing seam metal
- Sheds and outbuildings that should match the house
