Every roof has a before.

Twenty-two years of weather had left the original 3-tab roof curling, moss-streaked, and shedding granules into the gutters. A full tear-off, new ridge venting, and dimensional charcoal shingles gave the house its lines back.

A steep turret, three dormers, and a hundred-year-old deck that deserved better than the patchwork covering it. Slate-profile designer shingles and hand-bent flashing returned a landmark to form.

Rusted corrugated panels from the eighties, replaced with field-formed standing seam in matte black. Concealed fasteners, crisp ribs, and a roof that will outlast the mortgage.

A spring hailstorm bruised every slope. We documented the damage, met the adjuster on the roof, and the homeowner paid only their deductible for a Class 4 impact-resistant upgrade.

Split cedar shakes past their prime, traded for a shake-profile designer shingle that keeps the texture without the upkeep — finished with a copper drip edge that will patina for decades.

Lake-effect wind had peeled the old roof open at every edge. High-wind rated designer shingles, fully soldered copper bay-window roofs, and open copper valleys built for the water side.
