Burlington's housing stock skews mid-century — Colonials, ranches, and split-levels with straightforward gables, plus pockets of newer contemporaries. The right roof depends on slope and additions; what stays constant is permit-pulling through Burlington's Building Department and the snow-load and ice-dam exposure that defines this part of MetroWest. Our Waltham shop is a 15-minute drive up Route 3.
