Trusted Siding, Roofing, and Windows Company in Cos Cob, Connecticut

Homeowners in Cos Cob turn to Burr Custom Exteriors when it’s time to update their roofing, siding, windows, and more in a single coordinated exterior project. Since 1969, our second-generation, family-operated roofing company has been serving Fairfield County with a focus on clear communication and strong craftsmanship.

Cos Cob’s coastal location means salty air, strong winds, Nor’easters, and frequent freeze-thaw cycles. Older colonials, capes, and cottages along the Mianus River and around Greenwich see extra wear on roofs, siding, and windows. Our Burr Custom Exteriors team brings local experience with these conditions, along with thoughtful exterior design, so your home shines on your street and performs well in coastal Connecticut weather.

“Life improving home improvement” is more than a tagline. Our team aims to make exterior remodeling less stressful, from early design ideas through the final walkthrough. We handle:

• Roofing repair and roof replacement

• Siding replacement and siding upgrades

• Replacement windows and doors

• Decks and porches

• Cabanas and pergolas

• Design services and exterior renderings

So instead of juggling multiple contractors, Cos Cob homeowners can work with one team for the full exterior. To learn more about our company’s history and approach, visit our About Us page.

What Cos Cob Homeowners Want to Get Done

Homeowners in Cos Cob tend to call us when they want to:

• Replace an aging roof before the next Nor’easter hits.

• Protect the home from leaks and storm damage.

• Trade peeling siding for a long-lasting, low-maintenance exterior.

• Refresh curb appeal and reduce upkeep.

• Stop drafts coming off the Mianus River from coming through old windows and doors.

• Add a deck or porch for outdoor time at home.

• Preview the new look before construction starts.

For each of these jobs, we start by clarifying the goal, the home’s current condition, and your family’s budget. From there, our team recommends products that fit Cos Cob’s architecture and climate, and we coordinate installation so that roofing, siding, windows, doors, and outdoor living spaces work together.

We’re here to help bring your family’s vision for your home’s exterior upgrade to life, whether it’s a roof replacement, siding upgrade, or new outdoor living space. To start the conversation, schedule a free, no-pressure exterior consultation today.

Roofing Services for Cos Cob’s Coastal Weather

Roofs in Cos Cob face a steady mix of coastal wind, heavy rain, snowfall, and temperature swings. Nor’easters can lift shingles, driving rain can work under aging flashing, and older roofs on colonials and capes often develop leaks or rot around eaves and valleys.

Our Burr Custom Exteriors team provides roofing services tailored to these conditions, including:

• Roof replacement for aging roofs or those with widespread storm damage

• Roof repair as part of larger roof condition solutions when there are leaks, damaged shingles, soft spots, or wood rot

Our team installs high-quality roofing systems using materials such as CertainTeed shingles along with proper underlayment, flashing, and ventilation details. The goal is a roof that:

• Reduces the risk of leaks in coastal storms

• Offers strong long-term value for your home

• Delivers clean lines and profiles that match your home’s architecture

Siding That Fits Cos Cob Architecture

Many Cos Cob homes feature classic New England styles such as clapboard, shingle, and traditional colonial façades. These homes benefit from modern siding systems that preserve the architecture's character while withstanding coastal weather.

We focus on vinyl siding alternatives, including James Hardie fiber cement siding and other durable materials. These products are well-suited to Cos Cob and Greenwich because they offer:

• A wide range of colors, textures, and profiles that complement colonials, capes, and waterfront homes.

• Strong performance against salt air, wind-driven rain, and frequent temperature swings.

• Stable finishes that help maintain curb appeal over time.

As a James Hardie award-winning contractor, we’ve completed many fiber cement siding projects in Fairfield County. Our crew also coordinates trim, soffit, fascia, and architectural details so your entire exterior works as a cohesive design rather than looking piecemeal.

Replacement Windows and Doors for Drafty Cos Cob Homes

Older windows in Cos Cob, especially in long-standing homes near the water, often have worn seals, single-pane glass, and aging frames. These lead to drafts, condensation, and windows that stick.

We install replacement windows from respected brands such as Marvin, with a range of styles that work well in Fairfield County homes, including:

• Double hung windows for traditional colonials.

• Casement windows for better control of coastal breezes.

• Bay and bow windows for added light and views.

• Specialty shapes for architectural accents.

Updating your home’s windows can help:

• Stop drafts and cold spots in key rooms.

• Improve natural light and views of the yard or river.

• Support better energy performance in coastal New England conditions.

Entry, Patio, and French Doors

Doors play an important role in both curb appeal and comfort, especially for homes exposed to the wind off Long Island Sound. Many of our Cos Cob projects focus on:

• New entry doors with updated glass, sidelights, and hardware.

• Wider patio doors that open to the backyard or deck.

• French doors that connect kitchens or family rooms to porches and outdoor living spaces.

We work with brands such as Therma Tru and coordinate the look of doors with the siding, trim, and windows so the front and back of the home feel intentional and unified. Updated doors can:

• Provide smoother, more reliable operation.

• Create better sealing against drafts and moisture.

• Give the home a stronger, more welcoming street presence.

Decks, Porches, and Outdoor Living in Cos Cob

Custom Decks for Backyard Relaxation

Many Cos Cob residents like the convenience of Greenwich Avenue and the waterfront, but also want a comfortable place to unwind at home. A custom deck can turn a simple backyard into a daily retreat.

We design and build decks that fit your home’s architecture and the way your family actually spends time outside. We often use low-maintenance materials such as TimberTech and AZEK, which are well-suited to coastal climates and reduce the time spent on sanding and staining, so you can enjoy your new space more quickly.

Deck projects typically include:

• Thoughtful layouts for grilling, dining, and lounging.

• Railings and stairs that match the home’s style and meet safety needs.

• Careful integration with doors and windows so the transition between indoors and outdoors feels natural.

If you’re interested in a new deck, feel free to review our deck design ideas and materials and learn more about upgrading or rebuilding a deck on our deck replacement page.

Porches and Porticos That Welcome Guests

Front porches and porticos give Cos Cob homes extra shelter from rain and snow while creating a more inviting entry. For older colonials, a well-proportioned portico can make the front door feel like a focal point. For capes and cottages, a small porch can become a favorite sitting area.

Our Burr Custom Exteriors team designs porches and porticos that:

• Match the home's proportions and style.

• Provide coverage for guests and packages at the front door.

• Tie into existing roofing and siding for a seamless look.

Review our porch replacement and portico pages to see which upgrade best suits your family.

Cabanas and Pergolas That Expand How You Live Outside

Adding cabanas and pergolas is one of the most effective ways to create purpose-built outdoor spaces. These custom structures introduce shade, structure, and comfort to areas that might otherwise go unused.

Whether integrated with an existing deck or positioned beside a patio or pool, cabanas and pergolas help define gathering zones and improve the flow of your outdoor layout. Pergolas offer open-air relief from the sun, while cabanas provide a more enclosed option for privacy and coverage, giving homeowners flexible spaces for relaxing and entertaining.

Design Services That Bring the Whole Exterior Together

Many Cos Cob projects involve several elements at once. Burr Custom Exteriors offers design and rendering services so homeowners can preview how these elements will look together before construction starts.

The process is straightforward:

1. Clarify Goals and Style

We meet you at your home or in our Stratford design center to understand your family’s priorities, preferred colors, and architectural details.

2. Create Concepts and Renderings

Our team prepares design concepts and visual renderings that show roofing, siding, trim, windows, doors, and decks working as a single exterior.

3. Refine the Plan and Build

After receiving feedback, we finalize the materials and specifications, then proceed with installation under a plan everyone feels comfortable with.

This approach keeps the project under one roof, with one team coordinating product selections, schedules, and installation details. For homeowners who want more clarity before committing to a full exterior makeover, our design services provide an extra layer of confidence.

Cos Cob homeowners often want to know what the process will feel like before starting a roof, siding, or window project. Burr Custom Exteriors follows a simple, job-focused plan that maps directly to the homeowner's goals.

1. Clarify the Job

2. Recommend the Right Options

This is where the design process above comes into play, if applicable. We present product options, design ideas, and a written proposal tailored to your home and neighborhood. Our team explains tradeoffs and helps prioritize phases if the project will roll out over time.

3. Install and Verify Results

Our trained professionals complete the work with a clear schedule and regular updates. After installation, our crew walks you through the completed project, reviews warranty information, and confirms that the job meets both of our standards.
