Slate Roofs
Definition of Slate: A fine-grained metamorphic rock that splits into thin, smooth-surfaced layers.
No other roofing material can compare to the natural beauty, longevity and durability of slate. They are available in a variety of colors, sizes and textures, allowing the designers to customize virtually every installation. While slate roofs are one of the most expensive roofs up front they are arguably one of the least expensive that money can buy when taking the entire life of the roof system into account. Most slate roofs have a life span between 80 and 120 years.
There are many incorrect ways to replace, and work on slate roofs. These methods can not only affect the area being worked on, but areas surrounding. We recognize the historic value of your slate roof as well as the beauty it brings to your home.

Copper roofing, gutters and detail work
Definition of copper: A ductile, malleable, reddish-brown metallic element that is an excellent conductor of heat and electricity and is widely used for electrical wiring, water piping, and corrosion-resistant parts, either pure or in alloys such as brass and bronze.
Copper is a popular choice in roofing because of its endurance and lasting beauty. It is famous for its patinated green color. Over a process of about 25 years after installing new copper it will turn from its original shiny salmon color to bronze and eventually to its well known green color. Installing copper details to your roof is a great way to increase your buildings curb appeal and keep it water tight for decades to come.

Cedar Roofing
Definition of cedar: any of a genus (Cedrus) of wide spreading coniferous trees of the pine family, having clusters of needlelike leaves, cones, and durable wood with a characteristic fragrance.
The natural properties of cedar shingles and shakes make them the perfect choice for roofing material. Their resistance to decay, moisture and insects keep them vibrant for decades without needing maintenance. Other major benefits of cedar include high impact resistance, the ability to withstand 245 mph. winds, and they are a renewable resource. Over the hundreds of years that cedar shingles and shakes have been installed, the product has remained unchanged, it's still cedar.
