Services
Slate Roofing
We specialize in slate roof installations using domestic and imported materials. Our process includes titanium underlayment, copper flashing, and snow retention systems for lasting protection. Each installation combines traditional craftsmanship with modern techniques to ensure fireproofing and longevity exceeding 100 years. Clients benefit from our exclusive focus on slate expertise.
Copper Work
Our custom copper applications feature fully soldered flatlock seams and 20 oz. materials for durability. Services include flashing, valleys, and decorative elements that complement slate roofs. We integrate copper components into new installations or restoration projects, ensuring watertight seals and aesthetic continuity with original architectural designs.
Snow Retention Systems
We install specialized snow retention systems to protect properties in cold climates. These systems prevent dangerous snow slides that damage landscaping, gutters, and entryways. Our solutions combine functional safety with visual appeal, using styles that match roof aesthetics while maintaining structural integrity during winter conditions.
Roof Restoration
We restore aging slate roofs on residential and commercial buildings, preserving historical integrity while modernizing performance. Our team identifies original slate characteristics to match materials precisely. Services include structural reinforcement, leak prevention, and chimney repointing, extending roof lifespan while maintaining architectural authenticity for heritage properties.
Chimney Repointing
Our chimney services address mortar deterioration and structural issues that compromise roof systems. We use traditional masonry techniques to rebuild or repair chimneys, ensuring proper integration with slate roofing. This prevents water infiltration and maintains the roof's overall integrity while preserving visual harmony with original construction details.
