The Approach

BLK ROOFING approached this project with a meticulous plan. The team began with a detailed assessment of the existing roof structure, identifying areas that needed repair or reinforcement. Their goal was to utilize materials that matched the original as closely as possible, while incorporating modern technology to ensure longevity.

After consultation with the homeowners and local preservation authorities, BLK ROOFING selected materials that complemented the historic aesthetic. This included using slate tiles, which are not only historically accurate but also offer superior durability and weather resistance.

Implementation

The implementation phase was executed with precision. The old roofing materials were carefully removed to prevent any damage to the underlying structure. BLK ROOFING's experienced craftsmen then installed the new slate tiles, ensuring each piece was placed with an eye for detail and historical accuracy.
