Luxury Residential & Custom Homes
Estate roofs where the material has to look like it was always there—graduated coursing, rare colours and details in copper.
Why reclaimed on a new house
A new roof in new slate reads as new for twenty years. Reclaimed material arrives with the weathering already on it, which is the only way a new build reads as a period house on the day the scaffold comes down.
Graduated and patterned work
Graduated coursing—thick, long slate at the eave running to thin and short at the ridge—is the detail that separates a serious slate roof from an expensive one. It needs sorting by thickness as well as length, which is work we do in the yard rather than leaving it to the crew.
Lead time
Rare colours and graduated lots are the two things you cannot rush. Six to twelve weeks is realistic for a sourced lot at estate quantity. Start the conversation at design, not at framing.
