What we do
Slate, cedar and copper, in that order
Most of our work is old roofs that are still worth keeping. Anything else, we say so on the visit and point you to someone who does it.
Slate repair
Slipped, cracked and missing slates replaced, nails and hooks renewed, valleys and flashings redone.
How repairs goSlate replacement
Strip, sort and relay, with your own good slate reused and matched slate for the rest.
Slate roofsCedar shingles and shakes
Repair, re-roof and porch and dormer roofs, cut to match what was there.
Cedar roofsCopper valleys, flashings and gutters
Formed in our shop, soldered where the detail needs it, hung with copper fasteners.
What the estimate includesFraming reinforcement
Collar ties, sistering and sheathing so an old frame can carry slate again.

Roof photos, slate samples and a written scope for a historic district's board, when your house needs one.
