Slate, tile, metal and wood each have unique installation needs that are very different from modern asphalt shingles. Investing in a historic roof is futile without the correct carpentry repairs, accurate flashing work and reliable ventilation details that will last as long as the roofing material. It doesn’t matter that slate can last over 80 years if nothing else on the roof does.

Each type of historic roofing requires meticulous installation with special tools, and always involves the skilled work of a carpenter, sheetmetal mechanic, or mason. Because our craftsmen are always available on these projects, we can take advantage of every opportunity when minor repairs are needed, and to have flashings done properly and at the right time.
