What we make, and how.

Close view of layered slate tiles with rough edges
01Slate restoration
Replacing broken slates, re-flashing chimneys and valleys, and stripping and re-laying roofs where the slate is sound but the nails have failed.
02New slate roofs
Hung on copper nails over proper underlayment, with matched slate sourced for color and thickness.
03Copper roofing
Standing-seam and flat-seam copper for bays, porches, towers and entire roofs.
04Custom copper
Cupolas, finials, scuppers, leader heads and half-round gutters, formed in our shop.
05Cedar shingles and shakes
For shingle-style houses, barns and outbuildings, with breathable underlayment and stainless fasteners.
06Historic detailing
Snow guards, ridge details and flashing profiles matched to the house's age and style.

We do not install asphalt shingles, and we will tell you if your house would be better served by a different roofer.
