Slate Roofing
Strober Roofing specializes in natural slate roofing installation and restoration. Our craftsmen utilize traditional techniques combined with modern materials to create durable, aesthetically pleasing roofs that maintain historical accuracy while meeting current building standards. Each slate roof receives custom flashing and waterproofing details.
Copper Roofing
We install and repair copper roofing systems using premium materials from Revere and Follansbee. Our in-house fabrication shop creates custom copper components with precision, ensuring watertight seams and long-lasting performance for both architectural accents and full roof installations.
Metal Fabrication
Our fully equipped metal shop produces custom flashing, gutters, and roofing components using computerized roll forming machines. We work with copper, tin, and TCSII metals to create tailored solutions that match architectural requirements while maintaining watertight integrity.
Snow Retention Systems
Strober installs proven snow and ice retention systems from Alpine, Berger Brothers, and S-5 Clamps. These systems prevent dangerous snow slides from roofs while maintaining aesthetic appeal through custom color matching and discreet placement.
Roof Restoration
We restore aging roofs on historic buildings using traditional methods and period-appropriate materials. Our team maintains original architectural details while incorporating modern waterproofing technologies to extend roof lifespan without compromising historical integrity.
