Roofing & Roof Repair in Gorham, Maine
Gorham is a college town that is still partly a farm town, and its roofs reflect that. Around the village and the USM campus you have older homes on tighter lots. Out toward Little Falls, North Gorham and the Sebago Lake end, you have farmhouses with wide, low-pitched roofs and outbuildings with metal. Snow load and tree debris are the two recurring themes. So is the barn and outbuilding work that most roofers will not take.
What roofing in Gorham involves
- Gorham Village and campus-area housing, much of it older with established trees close to the buildings
- Working farms and larger parcels toward North Gorham, Little Falls and the Sebago Lake end of town
- Farmhouses with wide, low-pitched roofs and deep overhangs, plus barns and outbuildings
- Heavy hardwood canopy that fills valleys and gutters each autumn
- Snow that sits longer inland than it does on the coast, and stays longer on low-pitch roofs
What goes wrong on Gorham roofs
- Snow load on low-pitch roofs with insufficient pitch to shed it
- Ice damming on deep-eave farmhouse roofs over minimally insulated attics
- Metal roof repair and replacement on barns and outbuildings, including exposed-fastener systems
- Tree damage and debris — valleys packed with leaves, and limbs on the roof after high wind
- Converted porches and attached sheds at low pitch that need membrane systems
