The Central West End is thirty-eight minutes from our shop and one of the most significant slate and tile markets in the metro.

The mansions on the private places were built with steep, complex pitches, soldered copper valleys, and variegated slate or red clay tile meant to last a century. A lot of those roofs are now at or past that mark. We handle full re-slates, partial course-up restorations on the slopes that have failed, and copper-detail repair in-house rather than subcontracting it out. The Central West End Historic District puts your replacement under local design review, so the material question is not just budget, it is what the district will approve. We have done enough work on these streets to know which natural slate quarries and which designer-slate profiles (DaVinci, Brava) clear review as a slate alternative and which do not. The project consultant walks the roof and tells you on site whether your house wants matched natural slate, a designer-slate replacement, or a clay-tile restoration.
