Roofing and Exterior Contractor in Old Saybrook, CT

If you need to upgrade your roof and other parts of your home’s exterior, working with one contractor saves time and keeps your project moving in one direction.

Burr Custom Exteriors is a choice roofing and exterior contractor in Old Saybrook, Connecticut. With 55+ years serving Connecticut and a full range of services, we make it straightforward to get the work done right.

Roofing Replacement for Old Saybrook Homes

Roof failure develops gradually through ice dams, storm damage, and accumulated wear. By the time most people notice problems, the system needs full replacement rather than patches. 

We approach roofing as a complete system installation designed for decades of performance:

Roofing Materials and Systems

Our team installs roofing systems matched to your home's pitch, aesthetic, and timeline:

• Asphalt Shingles: A reliable choice balancing cost, appearance, and performance

• Wood Shakes: Traditional New England style suited to older homes

• Metal Roofing: Long-cycle option with strong wind and impact resistance

• Energy-Efficient Materials: Designed to reduce thermal transfer and cooling costs

Siding Installation Built for Connecticut Exteriors

Siding replacement is one of the most visible changes you can make to a home. Burr Custom Exteriors installs siding throughout Old Saybrook, with a focus on full replacements and material selection tailored to each home's style, age, and exposure.

Siding Material Options for Old Saybrook Homes

Old Saybrook homes face coastal humidity, freeze-thaw cycles, and occasional storms. We install proven options that hold up:

• James Hardie Fiber Cement: Fiber cement offers the look of wood siding without its vulnerabilities, resisting fading and requiring less maintenance.

• Cedar Siding: A classic New England choice offering traditional appearance and solid durability when properly installed.

• Stone and Brick Veneer: These materials add depth and texture as accent features or full-coverage cladding.

• Stucco: Available as part of our exterior services offering.

Burr Custom Exteriors focuses on premium alternatives to vinyl siding. Fiber cement, cedar, and veneer options typically outperform vinyl in terms of longevity and curb appeal.

Window, Door, and Skylight Replacement

Replacing windows and doors improves curb appeal and home performance. We use Marvin windows, Thermatru entry doors, and Velux skylights matched to Connecticut's seasonal demands. These replacements are often coordinated as part of broader exterior projects rather than scheduled separately.

Skylight Installation in Old Saybrook, CT

Velux skylights bring natural light into spaces without a structural overhaul. We install skylights as part of a broader exterior scope, coordinating with roofing and interior work rather than treating them as separate jobs.

Decks, Porches, Pergolas, and Cabanas

Outdoor living additions extend usable space through the warmer months. We install decks, screened-in porches, and pergolas using TimberTech and Azek composites, which resist warping and splintering through Connecticut's wet springs and cold winters without refinishing.

Pergolas and cabanas effectively define outdoor space. Pergolas create a framework for shade and plantings. Cabanas close that space further, functioning like home extensions. Both are built as permanent additions complementing your existing exterior.

Frequently Asked Questions

We handle siding, roofing, windows and doors, skylights, decks, porches, pergolas, and cabanas. The full-scope model means entire exterior projects can be completed without a second contractor.

Do you work on older homes in Old Saybrook?

Many Old Saybrook homes are of older Connecticut construction. Aging siding, original roofing, and single-pane windows are common, making full replacement more practical than continued maintenance. We apply the same standards to older homes as to newer construction.

What siding options are available instead of vinyl?

We focus on premium alternatives: James Hardie fiber cement, cedar, and stone and brick veneer. These materials typically outlast vinyl over the life of the installation.

How does the project process work for homeowners?

A single exterior contractor means one consistent contact from estimate through completion. Burr Custom Exteriors emphasizes clear communication throughout the process so you know what's happening and what comes next.
