Planning slate & copper roofing for a home in Wellesley? Begin with the property’s needs and a clearly defined scope. New England Slate Pros is an independent referral site, not a contractor or a local branch office.
Investigate the leak path first
At a Wellesley home, note whether staining follows wind-driven rain, snowmelt, or gutter overflow. The visible ceiling mark may not sit directly below the entry point. Do not climb the roof to trace it yourself.
Ask for findings you can retain
Request photographs and a clear list of repaired and excluded areas. Keep them with previous invoices so future assessments can distinguish recurring defects from new damage.
Make the consultation useful
Bring relevant plans, records, a description of access, and your preferred timing. Ask who handles permits, specialist design, inspections, and restoration. Verify insurance and any required credentials before hiring, and compare written proposals on the same scope.
