Serving Coastal Massachusetts Free Inspections 50-Year Warranty
Slate & CedarRoofing Co. · Since 1964

Service areas

Eight towns. Sixty years. One coast.

We don’t chase work across three states. We roof the North Shore, because knowing a town’s weather, codes, and architecture is half of doing the job right.

Why it matters

Roofing is a local trade.

The right roof in Ipswich is the wrong roof on Marblehead Neck. Salt exposure, wind fetch, tree cover, and historic commissions all change the answer, and we’ve spent six decades learning each town’s.

  • We know the inspectors. By name, by preference, by pet peeve. Permits move faster when the paperwork arrives the way each office likes it.
  • We know the weather’s habits. Which streets flood, which ridgelines catch the gusts, which slopes grow moss by August.
  • We’re twenty minutes away. Warranty service isn’t a road trip, it’s on the way home.
