Repair before replace
The most common thing we say: it doesn’t need a new roof.
We’re a roofing company and we sell roofs. We’d also rather keep a century-old slate roof on your house for another fifty years than tear it off.
Casco / Repair before replace
How a repair visit goes.
- 01
We look at all of it
From staging and the attic, not the driveway. Slates, nails, flashing, valleys, gutters, decking.
- 02
We tell you what we’d do
In writing, in order of urgency: what will leak this winter, what will in five years, and what can wait.
- 03
You decide
Some owners fix everything at once. Most spread it across a few seasons. Either is fine.
- 04
We keep notes
Photos and notes on your roof go in our files, so the next visit starts where this one ended.
