For outdoor maintenance this summer, choose Peter L. Brown for all your upgrade and maintenance needs. At Peter L. Brown we use only the highest quality materials for exterior and interior home improvement projects. From roofing and window replacement to insulation and siding – Peter L. Brown is the contractor that does it all.

Our specialty roofing materials are able to prevent dirt from staying on top of roofs. The brand we use is Atlas Roof Shingles with Scotchgard Protector, to prevent algae from growing on roofs when the moisture levels are high. Connecticut is a high humidity state, which is why it’s important to get shingles with special materials to prevent algae from forming and making streaks on the roof.

People often do not realize the implications and dangers of having a clogged gutter, but rather see more complications in a leaky roof or a broken window. A gutter’s job is to take water flowing from your roof and send it away from the home. But when gutters are clogged, the water can leak into your home and damage the structure. It can also be a breeding ground for mosquitoes and other pests. This is why we offer the installation of gutter protection items, as well as entire roof drainage systems including seamless gutters, roof flashing, roof edging and a variety of other products to protect your drainage system.

If your homes temperature is not up to your standards, and you find yourself cold in the winter and hot in the summer, then maybe it’s time to upgrade your insulation. Regular insulation does not get into every nook and cranny, which can create moisture and heat, which in turn raises energy costs. One of our best sellers is the Atticat expanding blown-in insulation system, which breaks and fluffs up fiberglass insulation into millions of air pockets to seal every last crevice in your home. It is a safe and reliable type of insulation, and does not create a mess with its remote controlled hose.

Our vinyl siding options are seamless, which will give the exterior of your home a beautiful and professional look. Instead of staggered seams like many other types of siding, our vinyl siding has a smooth, seamless finish. Vinyl siding is also made of PVC, which is a type of plastic that will not rot or flake. We use Mastic vinyl siding, which comes in many different colors and textures. It’s authentic looking, does not require paint, is durable and is backed by a V.I.P. lifetime warranty.
