Deficiencies in New Milford High School’s ‘traumatic’ roof project to be fixed

Work to remediate sections of the New Milford High School roof that were insufficiently repaired is expected to be completed over the summer, starting in July, officials say. The six-year-long ordeal has included two fires, leaks and the discovery that some panels had been fastened improperly. The town and school board have been discussing their options for finalizing repairs on the roof over the last five months — particularly in terms of addressing the fasteners and clips installed on the roof by United Roofing & Sheet Metal, the project’s original contractor. Officials also remedied persistent leaking issues in the roof that were traced back to the roof’s cupola this past spring. The roof project began about six years ago as a $4.75 million effort to upgrade the aging roof and repair damage from a microburst storm in 2018. Silver Petrucelli & Associates, hired by the town in 2020, recommended replacing the asphalt roof and restoring the flat roof with a standing seam roof.
