Jason did an excellent job with the slate roof repair work. He did a thorough inspection on the roof, recommended a reasonable scope of work, and carried through in a timely manner. This really stood out compared with some other companies that tried to quote us with expensive repairs that was not well justified. On top of that the communication was great, the start date was pushed back a few times due to the weather but updates were given well in advance so that I can plan accordingly.

I have a slate roof and rubber roof and had difficulty in finding someone who could do a proper inspection with repairs. I stumbled upon Doherty Slate Roofing in Swampscott, MA. Several houses have slate roof in our town. I have to say, he did an excellent job in repairing my rubber roof as well as the slate roof which had missing slates and broken slates.

He also repaired the boston Saddle hips and the flat copper roof. I am excited to write this review as we need people like Doherty who can give us an honest advice as well as understanding this unique roof for repairs. I ready for the winter and not worry about leaks and ice damage for mthe missing slates.

Jason came out to access the job the same week I contacted Doherty Slate. He reviewed and explained the issues he felt were of concern and others that I should consider. All great and NOT pushy overselling. I needed some time before committing but when when i was ready they got me on their list immediately. Liz was great about reaching out to keep me updates as my job got closer.

They arrived as expected and completed the job quickly. They kept teh job site clean and safe and kept me updated as they progressed. After the job they checked back to ensure there were no questions or issues ( which is great because sometimes thing look fine of day 1 but are seen further down the line). Not the case with me, all was grand and we were very happy with the work performed. Reasonable rates as well.

Jason and his crew sre very good and clearly dedicated to the craft. let me tell you, it isn't easy finding a really good slate roofer, but these guys are so dedicated to their craft. Jason was very forth coming with the project before we started and during the project. He would always fill me in and show me pictures of the problem areas and explained how he did things. Hands down going to give them all my slate work moving forward.

We had a bad wind storm back in March that ripped part of our roof off. Didn't realize until I saw water stains on the bathroom ceiling that something was NOT right. ..Playing phone tag with Jason, he finally came out to assess and informed me what restoration was needed. He didn't try to sell me a new roof. He also did tell me he was extremely busy, but would put an estimate together and we'd go from there...Fast forward to beginning of June...able to squeeze me in, came out and were able to restore the roof and ever since - no more leakss!! Jason and his crew are very professional, reliable, good quality and most importantly clean up after they are done. He doesn't t try to upsell you with things that are not needed. You tell him what is happening and he takes it from there. I'd definitely hire him again.

Because slate maintain its composition for decades and the material is durable, long lasting, and beautiful, having a slate roof can increase your home's value. However, maintenance can be trying, since skilled craftsmen in this trade is few and far between. We were extremely happy with Doherty Slate Roofing's expertise and Jason's knowledge of his craft and material.

His pricing was fair and his services prompt and professional. In addition to matching / replacing slate tile he also repaired a leak on a section of rubber roof, and fixed tiles around a skylight.

Jason is a true craftsman that provides high quality slate and copper repairs/restorations for an affordable price. He explained exactly what he was going to do before he started our slate roof repairs and reviewed all the details with us. I have noticed that several of my neighbors have also used his services since completing our roof. I would most certainly use Jason again on my next roof repairs.

Jason has taken care of our large and old slate roof for over a decade. He fixed many a problem, especially with leaky skylights. Jason is the very best! Completely reliable, he has a sixth sense for finding the hidden weaknesses. What he fixes, lasts forever. Fairly priced. I enthusiastically recommended Jason, especially for complex work.

Jason, the owner, does it the old-fashioned way, by hand, soldering every 3 feet or so. The gutters and much of the roof were in a terrible state and he had to rip out all of the gutters, the old metal apron that had 50 years of gunk on it, remove/replace slate and redo everything with copper and slate. He was meticulous and was able to give me advice on what could be saved so I didn't have to replace the whole roof. The amount of copper needed was huge and he had the gutters (100' on a side) made in one piece. For the copper apron he made each piece and crimped, the welded them. He was great to work with and worked very well with the carpenter we had. I didn't know I needed a huge roof repair until May, and by then most contractors were busy through the fall. All but one day of those who did come out to view the roof did not follow up with an estimate although I called them repeatedly. The one who did follow up quoted $30k for staging alone. In contrast, Jason got back to me right away with two proposals. He started within a few weeks and we were able to modify, add things as the work progressed. I could always get in touch with him via phone, email or text and he would respond right away. People would stop to watch the work progress since few people use copper any more. I talked with other contractors who gave offhand estimates double of what we ended up paying. Jason also does regular roofing, not just copper and slate, but he does it the right way--no junky tar or funky metal. He is courteous and professional and generally unflappable. He even loved my dog!

Jason set an appointment a few days after my initial phone call, and arrived on time. He identified the causes of water damage to paint and to wood in several areas, and provided a reasonable estimate for correcting these.
