New Roof Installation in Wilton, CT — Shingles, EPDM & Custom Copper Flashing
When a long-time builder we’ve partnered with for years completed a beautiful home addition in Wilton, CT, they called us to handle what we do best — the roofing system that protects it all.
At George’s Seamless Gutters, we don’t just install shingles. We build roofing systems designed to perform in Fairfield County’s demanding weather conditions.
For the main pitched section of the addition, we installed GAF Timberline® shingles in Fox Hollow Grey — a clean, architectural shingle that complements both classic and modern New England homes.
These shingles offer:
Dimensional curb appeal
Strong wind resistance
Long-term durability against heavy rain, snow, and freeze/thaw cycles
The color choice paired beautifully with the home’s existing exterior, giving the addition a seamless, integrated look.
The addition also included a low-slope section, which required a different system entirely.
We installed a fully adhered EPDM rubber membrane, a proven flat roofing solution known for its flexibility, durability, and watertight performance. Flat and low-slope areas require precision installation — and the right material — to prevent pooling and long-term moisture issues.
One of the standout features of this project was the installation of custom copper flashing.
Copper flashing is not just functional — it’s a premium upgrade. Unlike standard aluminum flashing, copper:
Will not rust
Naturally patinas over time
Offers exceptional longevity
Adds architectural character
Flashing is one of the most critical components of a roof system. It protects valleys, transitions, walls, and roof penetrations from water intrusion. When installed correctly — especially in Connecticut’s climate — it dramatically extends the life of the roof.
On this Wilton addition, the copper detailing provides both long-term protection and a refined finish that will age beautifully.
Whether we’re installing architectural shingles, EPDM flat roofing, or custom copper details, every project is approached the same way:
Dimensional curb appeal
Strong wind resistance
Long-term durability against heavy rain, snow, and freeze/thaw cycles

Ice dams are rarely solved by force. They’re solved by controlling heat loss and airflow.
Long-term prevention may include:
Air sealing the attic
Improving insulation
Ensuring balanced ventilation
Installing targeted heating systems
Ice removal addresses the symptom.
Performance improvements address the cause.
If you’re not seeing interior damage, this is often something to monitor — not panic over.
Ask yourself:
Is water entering the home?
Is structural material deteriorating?
Is this happening repeatedly year after year?
If the answer is no, your roof is likely performing as designed.
This winter reminded Fairfield County what a real storm looks like.
The goal isn’t zero ice. The goal is keeping water out and protecting your home.
If you’re unsure whether what you’re seeing is routine freeze-thaw behavior or something that needs attention, All Fairfield Gutters will give you a straight answer — and if prevention makes sense, we’ll design a system that works for your home.
