The Melanson Company Service Department was brought on by the First Baptist Church of Brattleboro VT to complete roof repairs to their building originally constructed in 1840. As part of an overall maintenance and improvement plan the work included extensive slate repair, copper hip and ridge replacement and single ply flat roofing. Aside from the requisite roofing skills needed to complete the work,  this crowded downtown work environment demanded a high level of attention to public safety.
