Why the best roofing choice on Cape Cod depends less on trends and more on how materials respond to coastal New England conditions over time FULL ARTICLE Roofing decisions often begin with appearance.

On Martha’s Vineyard and Cape Cod, this reality becomes more pronounced. Buildings are subjected to wind-driven rain, salt air, fluctuating temperatures, and extended moisture cycles. Over time, these forces do not simply wear materials down. They expose weaknesses in systems that we

What that view misses is everything happening behind the surface: how panels breathe under thermal stress, how water moves through gaps that should never exist, and how a single overlooked detail at the base of a wall can quietly admit moisture through an entire season of nor'easters and freeze-thaw cycles.
