A copper valley flashing that channels rain away from a chimney, a snow rake that clears heavy loads before they turn to ice, a skylight curb sealed against wind-driven water — these are the details that keep a roof performing long after the shingles go on. At LCT Construction and Services Inc., the work that surrounds and supports the main roof surface is just as important as the roof itself. This page covers the additional services we provide beyond standard repair and replacement, and how each one protects your property.
Beyond the Shingles: What “Other Services” Covers
A roof is a system. The field of shingles gets most of the attention, but the components at the edges, penetrations, and transitions are where most leaks begin. We handle these supporting elements as part of a complete approach to keeping water out and structures dry. Serving Hopedale, Franklin, Uxbridge, Holliston, Wellesley, and Grafton, we have worked on the full range of roof accessories that New England homes and businesses depend on.
Our added services address the points where roofs are most vulnerable. When water finds a weak seam around a chimney or a poorly pitched gutter, the damage can spread quickly into fascia boards, soffits, and interior walls. By treating these areas with the same care as the roof deck itself, we help you avoid larger and costlier problems later.

Gutters, Skylights, and Chimneys
Gutters carry a heavy workload. Every inch of rain that falls on a roof drains through them, and when they clog, sag, or pull loose, water backs up under the shingle edge. We install, repair, and align gutter systems so that runoff moves away from the foundation instead of pooling against it. Proper pitch, secure hangers, and clean downspouts all factor into a system that lasts.
Skylights and chimneys are the two most common sources of roof leaks because they interrupt the continuous surface of the roof. A skylight needs a watertight curb and correctly layered flashing to shed water on all four sides. Chimneys require step flashing, counter flashing, and sound masonry to stay sealed through freeze-and-thaw cycles. We inspect these penetrations closely and rebuild the flashing details when they show wear. Some of the specific work we perform includes:
- Gutter installation and repitching: correcting slope so water drains fully and does not sit in low spots
- Skylight flashing and resealing: replacing failed seals and rebuilding the surrounding waterproof layers
- Chimney flashing repair: renewing step and counter flashing to stop leaks at the roof-to-masonry joint
Roof Snow and Ice Dam Removal
Massachusetts winters put a real strain on roofs. Snow piles up, partially melts, and refreezes at the cold eave, forming an ice dam that traps water behind it. That trapped water works its way under the shingles and into the home. Removing snow before it turns to ice, and clearing dams once they form, is one of the most direct ways to prevent interior water damage during the coldest months.
We remove snow loads and break up ice dams carefully, protecting the shingles and gutters while relieving the weight and blockage. This is time-sensitive work, and we respond quickly because every hour of standing meltwater raises the chance of a leak. Property owners across Holliston, Wellesley, and the surrounding towns rely on us to keep their roofs clear when heavy storms roll through.
