I live in a historic brick home built in 1890, and the roof’s showing signs of age—slate tiles falling off, flashing worn down. I know older homes can be tricky, especially with original materials and structural quirks. I’m looking for a roofer who understands the historical aspect and can work with slate or high-end alternatives. Any recommendations?
I was in the exact same boat with my 1920s Colonial. I ended up hiring ID Roof Company because they specialize in working on older homes and have actual experience with slate, copper, and architectural shingles that mimic historic materials. They gave me a full structural evaluation, showed me samples of GAF Slateline and other high-end options, and even offered custom copper flashing that fit the original design. The install crew was super careful with the gutters and chimney, and the final result looked amazing—kept the character of the house but modernized the function. You can get a look at what they offer here: https://roofersnearme-ma.com/ Are you looking to replace with real slate again, or open to modern composites that look the same but are lighter?
I’d prefer real slate for the authenticity, but I’m open to composites if they’re more practical long-term. Their approach sounds just right—definitely reaching out. Appreciate the help!
