Woburn covers a wide range of housing — pre-1900 Victorians around Central Square, mid-century Colonials in the western neighborhoods, and ranch and split-level homes farther out. The right roof depends on the era and the slope; what doesn't change is the need to permit through Woburn's Building Department and detail flashings correctly. Our Waltham shop is a 15-minute drive up Route 128.
