Full-Spectrum Historic Roofing

Slate, copper, flat roof, and maintenance programs — one specialist contractor for every element of the historic building envelope.

Slate Roofing

Natural Slate Restoration & Replacement

Natural slate is the appropriate roofing material for most historic buildings — durable, historically accurate, and beautiful. When it fails, it needs to be repaired or replaced by someone who understands what they’re working with.

We source slate in the correct colors, sizes, and profiles for each building. We match existing patterns — including decorative multi-color and fish-scale arrangements — so the finished roof is indistinguishable from the original.

  • Full slate removal and replacement
  • Partial repair and slate salvage
  • Multi-color and patterned slate matching
  • Fish-scale, hexagonal, and rectangular profiles
  • Carlisle WIP 300HT and premium underlayment systems
  • Stainless snow guard installation

Copper Fabrication

Custom Copper — Fabricated On-Site

Custom copper work is a specialty skill that most roofing companies simply don’t have. We fabricate every piece on-site — valleys, box gutters, chimney flashings, scuppers, and architectural canopies — shaped and fitted to the exact requirements of each building.

On historic buildings, copper is often the only appropriate material. Its durability, workability, and historical precedent make it irreplaceable on properties where preservation standards apply.

  • Custom valleys and chimney step flashings
  • Box gutters, scuppers, and downspouts
  • Curved and compound-geometry canopies
  • Counter flashings and reglets
  • All work hand-formed to historically accurate profiles

Flat Roof & Coatings

Flat Roof Repair, Replacement & Coatings

Most historic institutional buildings have both pitched slate roofs and flat or low-slope sections. Having one contractor who can handle both means no gaps, no finger-pointing between trades, and a single point of accountability for the full building envelope.

  • Flat roof repair and replacement
  • Protective coating systems
  • Low-slope membrane systems
  • Integration with existing slate and copper
  • Annual flat roof inspection and maintenance
