New Roof Installation
Originally built in the 1800's, this barn was carefully taken down and rebuilt as a beautiful sugar house in Colrain, MA. We installed the slate roof--using 80% of the original slate, we preserved its history, character and connection to the land, while giving it a new life.
A slate roof is one of the most valuable investments you can make in a historic home both for preserving it's character and protecting it for generations. Unlike modern materials that wear out in a few decades, slate can last 100+ years, maintaining the authentic look and craftsmanship your home was built with.
Slate is also one of the most environmentally responsible roofing options available: all natural stone with no chemical additives, requires minimal processing and outlasts multiple generations of asphalt roofs, reducing landfill waste and material consumption. Choosing slate means choosing durability, timeless beauty and a roof that honors the past while making a smart eco-concious decision for the future.
