Burr Roofing, Siding & Windows — now operating as Burr Custom Exteriors — has been in continuous operation since 1969, making it one of the longer-tenured exterior remodeling companies in Connecticut. Founded and based in Stratford, the company is a second-generation, family-owned business that has served more than 10,000 Connecticut homeowners over its history. Their service territory extends across much of southern Connecticut, covering Fairfield County, New Haven County, and communities along the shoreline and into Hartford County.
The company has positioned itself as a full-service exterior remodeler, handling roofing, siding, windows, doors, gutters, decks, and porches as a single-contractor solution. This comprehensive approach reflects a deliberate strategy: rather than requiring homeowners to coordinate multiple specialty contractors for a full exterior project, Burr positions itself as a single point of contact from initial consultation through completion. Their internal language describes their work as “life-improving home improvement,” a framing that reflects their intent to be a long-term resource rather than just a project vendor.
On the manufacturer side, Burr holds certifications from James Hardie, CertainTeed, and Marvin — credential categories that tie the company’s warranty authority directly to the products they install. Their James Hardie designation is particularly notable: Burr holds James Hardie Elite Preferred Contractor status, and has received the James Hardie Excellence Award recognizing manufacturer-certified installation practices.
The company holds an A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau and received a GuildQuality 2024 Guildmaster Award, along with recognition among top customer service leaders in the residential construction industry. They offer design rendering services and a design center in Stratford where homeowners can review materials in person — capabilities that reflect investment in both the technical and customer-facing dimensions of the business.
Customers frequently highlight Burr’s transparency and educational approach: one reviewer described receiving a comprehensive and educational experience compared to other home contractors, which speaks to how the team communicates options, materials, and trade-offs during the project planning phase. For homeowners in southern Connecticut looking for an exterior contractor with documented manufacturer credentials and a long history of repeat business, Burr Custom Exteriors is a well-established option.
