Residential Roofing

Century homes around the Burton green bring the full set of historic roofing considerations: steep pitches, plank decking, original or early-replacement slate on some, complex rooflines with dormers and multiple additions, and framing that predates modern load tables.

On these we start with assessment rather than a quote:

• Is the existing slate repairable, because a repairable slate roof is worth repairing
• Can the framing carry the assembly being proposed, particularly if going from shingle to something heavier
• What is under the current roof, since Burton houses have often been roofed four or five times
• How will snow load and ice be managed on a steep historic roof without altering its appearance

Newer housing in and around the village is conventional replacement work.

Commercial Roofing

Village commercial around the green is small-scale historic, with low-slope sections behind facades and a strong preference for preserving appearance.

Century Village and the fairgrounds add institutional and event structures with their own requirements.

Roof Repairs

Slate and flashing repair leads, driven by the age of the stock. Chimney counterflashing on nineteenth-century masonry is a recurring source of leaks.

Ice damming is close behind, and on historic roofs the options for addressing it are more constrained because ventilation cannot always be added without altering the building.

Roof Coatings

Limited application on residential. Coating work here is on the low-slope commercial sections and on agricultural metal in the surrounding township.
