Historic Lancaster
Lancaster has a remarkable collection of nineteenth-century homes, especially in and around its historic districts downtown. Their roofs tend to be steep and complicated, with dormers, box gutters and several chimneys. We take the time to get the flashing, decking and ventilation right, with materials that respect the house.
Out in the County
Beyond the city limits it’s farmland and rolling hills, where metal roofing makes a lot of sense on farmhouses and country homes: it sheds snow, handles the wind and lasts for decades.
