Wilton keeps its old buildings in good order, which is more than a lot of small Iowa towns manage. That means historic commercial roofs downtown alongside ordinary house work on the residential streets.
Main Street Roofs Are Flat Roofs
An old main street building has a low slope or flat roof behind a parapet, usually built up or modified bitumen, and often carrying decades of patches.
Those are a different trade from a house roof. They need a membrane system, proper drainage and attention to the parapet wall and the coping on top of it, which is where a surprising share of commercial leaks start.
What We Get Called For in Wilton
- Low slope commercial roofs on the historic main street
