Roofing in Milton
Milton has some of the best-preserved slate roofs south of the city. We also restore the long porch roofs and copper details that give these houses their character.

Porch roofs
Low-slope porch roofs were often tin. We replace them with painted standing seam or copper to keep the look.
Coastal exposure
Milton Hill and East Milton catch wind off the harbor. We use extra fasteners and high-wind details on exposed slopes.
Estate scale
Larger roofs often combine slate restoration with gutter and chimney work in one phased project.

Panels were formed right in our driveway. The porch roof is one clean piece per run and sheds snow perfectly.
