EDCO Metal Roof Installation in Chester, NH: A Long-Term Roofing Upgrade Built for New England Weather

Project Overview

Compass Exteriors recently completed a metal roof installation in Chester, NH, using EDCO Infiniti Textured Steel Shake shingles. This project replaced an aging asphalt shingle roof with a premium steel roofing system designed to handle decades of New England weather with minimal maintenance. Metal roofing has become an increasingly popular choice for Chester homeowners who want a long-term roofing solution that outperforms traditional asphalt shingles in durability, energy efficiency, and overall lifespan.

The EDCO Infiniti Textured Steel Shake profile replicates the look of natural wood shake shingles while delivering the performance advantages of steel construction. EDCO Infiniti panels are engineered with a multi-layer Kynar 500 coating system that resists fading, chalking, and UV degradation over time. The textured steel shake profile adds visual depth and a premium appearance that works well with the older and newer homes common throughout Chester and the surrounding Rockingham County towns. Unlike asphalt shingles, which typically require replacement every 20 to 30 years, a properly installed steel roofing system can last 50 years or more. For Chester homeowners planning to stay in their homes long-term or looking to add lasting value before a sale, metal roofing is a strong investment that eliminates the cycle of repeated roof replacements over the decades. New Hampshire weather puts real demands on a roofing system. Chester sees heavy snow loads, ice dam conditions, wind-driven rain, and wide seasonal temperature swings. Steel roofing handles all of these conditions better than asphalt because it does not absorb moisture, does not crack under freeze-thaw cycling, and sheds snow more efficiently than textured shingle surfaces. The installation process for a steel shake roof is more involved than a standard asphalt shingle replacement. EDCO Infiniti panels require precise cutting, proper fastening patterns, and correct flashing details at all transitions, penetrations, valleys, and eaves. Compass Exteriors handled the full installation including tear-off of the existing asphalt system, inspection and preparation of the roof deck, and complete installation of the EDCO steel shake panels with all associated flashings and trim. For Chester homeowners comparing roofing options, this project is a strong example of what a professionally installed metal roof looks like and how it performs. Whether the goal is long-term durability, reduced maintenance, better energy performance, or a premium aesthetic upgrade, EDCO Infiniti Textured Steel Shake delivers across all of those categories. Compass Exteriors provides metal roofing installation, asphalt shingle replacement, and exterior renovation services throughout Chester, NH and the surrounding towns including Derry, Auburn, Raymond, and Rockingham County.
