Old Greenwich, CT Roofing, Siding, Windows, and Decks

Owning a home in Old Greenwich means enjoying Long Island Sound views, leafy streets in the fall, and weekends at Tod’s Point. It also means dealing with salt air, coastal storms, and aging exteriors. Roofs, siding, and trim around older homes near Sound Beach Avenue or close to the waterfront can age faster, and curb appeal expectations can stay high in this part of Greenwich.

Burr Custom Exteriors helps Old Greenwich homeowners tackle the projects that protect and refresh their homes, including:

• Roofing, siding, and trim that hold up to coastal wind and rain.

• Window and door replacement that cuts drafts and energy loss.

• Decks and porches that better support how your family uses outdoor space.

• Cabanas and pergolas to add structure and shade to your home. 

Since 1969, we’ve been working on Connecticut exteriors as a family-owned, second-generation company. Our team acts as a guide for homeowners replacing roofing, siding, and windows in Old Greenwich. We listen first and then shape a plan that fits your family’s home, budget, and long-term goals. “Life improving home improvement” is more than a slogan. It’s how we think about projects that need to perform for years while still fitting the character of Old Greenwich.

Roofing For Coastal Weather and Classic Old Greenwich Homes

Old Greenwich roofs see a lot in a year. Nor’easters, summer thunderstorms, and salt-laden air off the Sound put extra stress on shingles, flashing, and gutters. Many colonials, capes, and shingle-style homes in the neighborhood are also old enough that original roofs or outdated replacement roofs are nearing the end of their useful life.

We provide full roofing services tailored to Old Greenwich, including:

• Roof replacement and new roofing systems that respect local architecture and neighborhood standards.

• Roof repair for leaks, storm damage, and failing shingles when a targeted fix still makes sense.

• Roofing material options with durable shingles and other systems from trusted manufacturers like CertainTeed.

• Integrated gutter updates and wood rot replacement so fascia, soffits, and adjacent siding stay protected.

Our team starts with a careful inspection and clear conversation about what is really happening on the roof. You’ll see photos, hear plain-language explanations, and get a recommendation that balances repair and full replacement. Our trained crews install according to manufacturer specifications, which supports strong roofing warranties and long-term performance in the demanding Old Greenwich coastal climate.

Siding That Upgrades Curb Appeal and Stands Up to the Shoreline

In Old Greenwich, siding is as much about appearance as it is about protection. Sun, moisture, and salt air near the shoreline can break down older materials, and upscale streets often have HOA guidelines or informal expectations about how homes should look. Flaking paint, warped clapboards, and dated siding can bring down both curb appeal and home value.

We focus on complete siding systems that are durable, attractive, and appropriate for the neighborhood, rather than low-end options. Services include:

• Full siding replacement projects that transform the exterior, address underlying issues, and coordinate with roofing and trim. You can learn more on our siding replacement services page.

• Thoughtful siding material options, such as:

• James Hardie fiber cement for long-term durability, low maintenance, and coastal performance.

• Cedar siding for a classic New England look that fits both shingle-style and traditional homes.

• Stone and brick veneer accents to highlight entries, chimneys, or lower levels.

• Vinyl siding alternatives for homeowners who want materials that hold up and stay attractive over longer time frames.

Our Burr Custom Exteriors team has decades of experience with James Hardie fiber cement and has earned James Hardie Excellence recognition, which reflects both product knowledge and quality installation. Our design team helps Old Greenwich homeowners adjust colors, exposures, and trim details to fit everything from homes near the water to historic-feeling properties on tree-lined inland streets.

Window and Door Replacement For Comfort and Quiet

Many Old Greenwich homes still have older windows and doors that let in drafts, outside noise, and moisture. Traffic from I‑95, nearby train lines, and busy local streets can make rooms feel less peaceful, and leaky frames can drive up heating and cooling costs.

Upgrading your windows and doors can:

• Provide more consistent indoor temperatures across seasons.

• Reduce noise in bedrooms, living spaces, and home offices.

• Improve security, operation, and overall appearance.

Burr approaches these projects as part of a cohesive exterior remodel, offering:

• Full replacement window projects, detailed on our replacement window services page, with options that include:

• Wood, fiberglass, and high-quality composite frames to match or update existing trim.

• Popular styles such as double-hung, casement, bay, and bow, and unique shapes for special openings.

• Premium choices, like Marvin windows, for homeowners seeking a higher-end solution.

• Door replacement services, including:

• Fiberglass and wood entry doors that complement front porches and porticos.

• French and sliding patio doors that connect interior spaces to decks and backyards.

• Trusted brands, such as Therma-Tru, for many entry door configurations.

Our team pays close attention to grille patterns, colors, hardware, and exterior casings, ensuring that new windows and doors blend seamlessly with Old Greenwich architecture rather than feeling like an afterthought.

Decks, Porches, and Outdoor Living for Old Greenwich backyards

Life in Old Greenwich often revolves around spending time outside, from mornings at Tod’s Point to evening gatherings on the deck. A well-planned deck or porch can transform a backyard into an everyday retreat, making entertaining much easier. Aging or undersized outdoor spaces, on the other hand, can feel like wasted potential.

Burr designs and builds outdoor living spaces that fit how Old Greenwich families like yours actually use their yards, including:

• Custom deck projects created for both daily use and larger gatherings.

• Composite and PVC decking options, such as TimberTech and Azek, provide low-maintenance, long-lasting surfaces. You can find more details on Burr’s decking material options page.

• Porches and porticos that elevate front entries and offer shelter from rain and snow. You can explore ideas for these on our porch replacement services and portico design options pages.

• Cabanas and pergolas that are designed to complement your existing deck, patio, or landscape layout.

Our attention to framing, railings, stairs, and lighting helps decks and porches feel integrated with the rest of the home. We coordinate door locations, step transitions, and exterior finishes so the new outdoor space ties smoothly into Old Greenwich homes and landscapes.

Design Services That Bring Your Exterior Vision to Life

For Old Greenwich homeowners planning larger transformations that involve roofing, siding, windows, and decks together, it can be hard to picture how all the pieces will look. Burr’s design and rendering services are built to make those decisions easier and less stressful.

Through exterior design and renderings, our team provides:

• Collaborative planning sessions that clarify priorities, discuss budget ranges, and identify which parts of the exterior will have the most impact.

• 3D renderings or visualizations that show roof colors, siding styles, trim details, and deck layouts before any construction begins.

• Guidance on materials and color combinations that work well in Old Greenwich’s coastal climate and fit local streetscapes.

We provide this visual roadmap to help your family feel more confident about your choices, avoid second-guessing, and move into construction knowing what the finished exterior should look and function like.

Frequently Asked Questions From Old Greenwich Homeowners

These are some of the questions Burr hears most often during visits with Old Greenwich homeowners.

How Does Old Greenwich’s Coastal Location Affect Roofing and Siding Choices?

Old Greenwich homes sit close to Long Island Sound, which means roofing and siding have to withstand strong winds, salt air, and heavy rain more often than homes farther inland. Materials that might be acceptable elsewhere can age quickly in this environment, leading to premature wear, peeling paint, or moisture issues.

We use products such as James Hardie fiber-cement siding and premium roofing shingles, known for their durability in coastal settings. Because our team has worked on many homes in Old Greenwich, we can share what has performed well on similar properties and help you weigh appearance, maintenance, and long-term performance.
