Roofing Types for Somerville Properties

Our flat roofing specialists can diagnose leaks, repair damaged membranes and flashing, and design a reliable replacement system with proper drainage and durable materials.
For historic character combined with exceptional durability and fire resistance, natural slate roofing is an excellent option. Our specialists have the training and craftsmanship required to properly maintain, repair, and install slate roofs while preserving their architectural details.
