David J. Deschaine Installations, Inc. is happy to offer expert installation services for your new metal roof. We are proud to offer you quality metal roofing, made by Ideal Roofing.

Traditionally, steel roofing panels have been used mostly for commercial, industrial and farm buildings. Today's technological advances in building materials have made it both practical and economical to use pre-painted steel panels in virtually all color combinations for your residential uses as well.

The Ameri-Cana Panel that we install is adaptable to any environment, and is suitable for roofing applications on any agricultural, residential, light commercial or light industrial building. It's an ideal roofing sheet for long and low rafters--as low as a 3/12 pitch!

Ideal Roofing's Ameri-Cana offers superior strength. It's made from a hard steel core that will withstand 80,000 PSI, and is built with 3/4" high ribs at every 9" on center. Furthermore, the ribs on this panel have been reinforced to better accommodate fasteners.

The pre-painted, long-length sheets of steel panels in David J. Deschaine's Ideal Roofing metal roofing are lighter than all other contemporary roofing materials, yet stronger, and are easy to maintain. They resist punctures, shed snow, are durable, weather tight, heat and fire-resistant and environmentally-friendly.

Under normal conditions, steel panels resist chipping, cracking, peeling and perforating for 20 years.

You can also take a look at new innovations in metal roofing, including COOLR Energy Efficient Roofing Metal.

How does roof ventilation save you money and prevent ice dams?

The key to solving ice dams is to create a cold roof, with the temperature of the inside roof sheathing near that of the outside air temperature. To create such a condition, large volumes of outside air must enter at Soffit intakes, sweep along ridge rafters, then exit at vents near the ridge. To prevent trapping warm air in the attic, an equal balance must be established between intake and exhaust air volumes. (The proper ventilation will save you money on your energy cost)

A Ridge Vent ventilation system bringings cold air into an attic, therefore the insulation must minimize heat loss at the attic floor. As an added precaution, use waterproofing shingle underlayment. It provides a waterproof-barrier beneath roof shingles, which pooled water from melting ice dams and driven rain cannot penetrate. (We also recommend shoveling your roof after every snow storm) Contact us now for a Free, In-Home inspection of your roof ventilation system!

Contact us now for a Free, In-Home evaluation of your roof system!

Roof De-icing systems are one of the best investments you can make to protect your roof from ice damage.

Freeze thaw conditions will form dangerous ice dams and icicles that will cause leaking and structural damage to your roof. Snow accumulation will also create heavy weight loads on a roof that are often difficult to remove and potentially dangerous. Snow and ice can now be cleared away with a well designed roof de-icing system. Save money while making your home or business safer by adding a roof de-icing system. You will expand the life of your roof and reduce the havoc that snow and ice can inflict on any roof.

About our Seamless Gutters

Deschaine Seamless Aluminum Gutters are stronger, look better, and will outlast any other gutter on the market. Most importantly, our gutters are better because they are extruded from a roll of High Quality 0.32 Aluminum Coil. There are no joints or connections, which tend to leak over time due to expansion and contraction. Deschaine Seamless Aluminum Gutters are manufactured at your door with no seams, no joints, and no leaks.

Our gutters are available in a variety of colors, which are very close to most house or trim colors, which means we are guaranteed to have the right gutter to match your home.

Deschaine Seamless Gutters are installed with hidden gutter hangers which are screwed to the fascia 16" on center and a screw between each hanger in most applications. This translates into a solid gutter than will hold up to the weight of ice and snow.

Unlike plastic or Vinyl gutters that have a gap between the gutter and fascia, and therefore are prone to leaks, Deschaine Seamless Gutters are installed flat to the fascia and sealed with a silicone adhesive sealant on the back of the gutter-this means no leaks, ever.

There are several different styles of Leaf Gutter Guards and Gutter Screens that can be used effectively with the Deschaine Seamless Gutter System. You will never have to clean your gutters again!

On top of unmatched quality, Deschaine Seamless Gutters have a 20-Year Registered Warranty on Materials and Labor.

David Deschaine Energy Saver Windows

David J. Deschaine Installations, Inc. offers you the best in replacement windows. David Deschaine Energy Saver Windows and doors are beautiful and convenient, stand the test of time, and lead the way in energy-efficiency and comfort.

With rising energy costs and ever-more unpredictable weather, now is the time to invest in replacement windows and doors that will save you money, keep you comfortable, and provide lasting beauty for years to come.

Efficiency

We chose to offer David Deschaine Energy Saver doors and windows because they are some of the best products available today-their premium vinyl is naturally an excellent insulator. Vinyl does not conduct energy like other materials, and when combined with double and triple paned glass, coated with an insulating glazing, the result is windows and doors that are truly superior in helping a home retain heated, as well as cooled air, regardless of outside temperatures.

That's why Dave Deschaine's replacement windows have the highest energy efficiency ratings in the Industry.

Strength

We know how important it is for Maine residents to have windows that provide the best impact protection available-windows that will stand up against whatever the forces of nature may bring. David Deschaine Energy Saver vinyl windows and doors lead the way in proven performance for areas with variable temperatures and weather conditions.

Durability begins with laminated, double-strength glass-strong enough to withstand flying debris and high winds without plywood or shutters. This strength is the fusion-welded master frame.

The result? Strength and protection you can count on, no matter where you live.

Beauty

David Deschaine Energy Saver windows are available in a variety of styles, along with coordinating Patio and Garden Doors. All products are available with an assortment of glass and grid. Their attractive vinyl profiles are designed to complement virtually every architectural style, with classic lines and a rich appearance that reveal little of their formidable strength. And their beauty will not fade, even in harsh conditions. Unlike aluminum, premium vinyl will never pit, peel or flake. Best of all, they require virtually no maintenance.

Window Features

Find out what makes our windows superior!

Spacer Systems

Most of David Deschaine Energy Saver windows and doors feature unique spacer systems. Made of highly thermally prohibitive materials, these are placed between the glass panes and further reduce temperature transfer.

Intercept® Spacer System

• Unique U-channel design minimizes conduction for increased efficiency and comfort.
• Durable long-lasting design.
• U-shaped design flexes and contracts, reducing seal failure in the insulating glass unit.

Super Spacer® System

• Solid silicone foam provides superior energy efficiency.
• Does not conduct energy as quickly as metal spacers.
• Silicone foam is flexible and helps reduce stress cracks.

Glass Coating

Many of our windows and doors are available with Low E glass. A transparent metallic oxide coating applied to the glass surface allows short-wave energy to pass through but reflects long-wave infrared energy for greater thermal efficiency.

Gas Fill

The space inside an insulating glass unit-between the glass panes-may be filled with Argon gas, an odorless, non-toxic gas that is six times denser than air. This acts as an added barrier for a higher level of efficiency. Optional Krypton gas may be specified in some glass packages.

Laminated Glass

Some glass packages contain laminated glass. A transparent interlayer is adhered to a pane of glass, acting as a barrier against energy loss, noise transmission and forced entry.

Learn more about how our expert installers will give you the latest in window technology by contacting our Customer Service Department!

Energy Star Rating

David Deschaine Energy-Saver Windows allow homeowners the option of selecting Low E Glass and Argon Gas that can block up to 84 percent of the UV rays and prevent damaging rays from entering the home, so you can be confident that you and your family are protected.

"In Summer Months, Low E-Glass helps keep cool air inside the home and hot air out. It works just the opposite in winter months by keeping heated air inside and cool air outdoors." Smart homeowners are especially interested in having the most Thermally Efficient Windows Possible.
