Roofing in Newton. Slate, copper, historic.
Slate and copper roofing in Newton, MA. Slate restoration, copper flashing, chimney repair, historic work. Boston specialists since 2005.
Newton’s housing stock spans 150 years of architecture, and the roof a house needs depends on the decade it was built. Art Slate Roofing has worked Newton for over twenty years — the owner walks every roof, we measure on-site, we quote honestly, and the same in-house crew installs it. On a house originally specified for slate, we won’t push asphalt.
What Newton homes need, by era
1850s–1880s · Greek Revival & Italianate
The original slate is often at the end of its service life — selective repair or a period-correct re-roof, never a cheaper substitute.
1890s–1910s · Victorian & Queen Anne
Steep slate with decorative patterning and heavy copper detailing at valleys, dormers, and turrets.
1920s · Tudor Revival
Multi-color slate, complex rooflines, and the flashing detail that decides whether these roofs leak.
1960s · Mid-Century
Low-slope and flat sections where we run EPDM and membrane rather than slate.
