Craftsmanship Meets Heritage

Arturo and his team were a true pleasure to work with. They were regularly on time, they worked hard, I trusted them, and the product was stellar as was their workspace: they were respectful of my home and always left it better than they found it. Arturo made frequent appearances to my home after the contracting phase, to communicate updates and review progress in person. He also helped me navigate some challenges that surfaced from other contractors on the project, coming up with quick cost-effective solutions that looked beautiful and kept the project rolling. I recommend them anytime someone is in need of roofing services. 43 Monmouth Street Boston MA 02128 the copper roofs and gutters speak for themselves.

My house was built in 1917 and has the original red slate and copper roof. In February of 2023 a bad leak developed and the water ran down through the walls in the attic and then through the second floor and down to the kitchen ceiling on the first floor. I contacted several roofers that advertised working on slate and after each gave me an estimate I chose Art Slate Roofing because of their reputation and estimate. All the roofers told me that it was dangerous to work on the roof in the winter because of the ice on the roof. As a result the work would not begin until the spring and we had good weather. I can appreciate their concerns because the peak of my roof is 42 feet high. Arturo told me that he would repair the major leak immediately and the rest of the work would be completed in the spring. He personally went up on the roof and did a temporary repair to the damaged area. It worked and the leak stopped. In the spring we agreed to a schedule that worked for both of us and his crew completed all the work on the roof. One example of the repairs is the area between two dormers on the front of the house that were covered with a kind of tar that was covering damaged copper that was underneath as well as on the channels on the side of the dormers. This was repaired with new, 20 ounce copper (The old copper was 16 ounces). His crew is very professional and thorough and during their work they made some additional minor repairs that they found. It is now summer and we have had several severe rain and wind events and I am happy to report that “all is dry”. I would recommend Art Slate Roofing to friends and family.

We have used Art Slate Roofing for nearly 20 years and cannot recommend Arturo and his crew more highly. Arturo is a skilled craftsman and true professional. He and his team are responsive, perform excellent slate, copper and EPDM work and keep a neat and clean job site.
