Older colonials, Tudors, Victorians, capes, and renovated homes around Main Street, Broadway, Harriman Road, West Clinton Avenue, and East Sunnyside Lane may also have layered roofing, older chimney masonry, tight access, or trim details that require a more careful installation plan than a basic suburban job.
