Doherty Slate Roofing

GREAT! They conducted a review of my slate roof, facilitated repairs and provided a complete report on my roofs "health"

Jason is simply the best. A true master craftsman and artist. He explains what he's doing, does not look to sell you work, and then takes care in how he treats your roof and how he treats you as a customer. Old school in his dedication -- to the work and to the customer -- and he does the work himself.

Jason is a meticulous craftsman his quality attracted the attention of everyone that walked past our home. He restored slate and copper dormers and soldered all the copper seams together, it was a pleasure to watch him work with such precision. His work is unmatched in our neighborhood. He is responsive direct and very pleasant and knowledgeable.

I highly recommend. Efficient, professional, and great communication. Jason is a master at his craft. Finding a roofer that is knowledgeable slate roof craftsman has been a blessing. I’m very pleased.

We are so happy to have found Jason. Prompt, knowledgeable, and he and his crew are the picture of professionalism. We are currently using him for yearly maintenance and have been very happy with the repairs he performed on the first round.

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. -Effie

Jason showed up on time, completed the job quickly and provided before and after photos. We were very happy.

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. He replaced almost all of the copper cap flashing and 50+ slate. Along with the slate and copper repairs he rebuilt the chimney from just below the roofline and flashed it with lead. Finally, he installed copper boots for the plumbing vents and a new copper dryer vent. I have noticed that several of my neighbors have also used his services since completing our roof. I would definitely use Jason again on my next roof repairs.

The slate repairs were well done and professional. The work they did to prepare my two porches for the copper gutters was also excellent. The gutter work itself was good, but I am dissatisfied with the finished product for a very specific reason. Jason did not check to see if the porch was level before he laid out all of the plans for the gutter. It turns out the the porch roof is not level. It is sagging quite a lot on the right side, and in the opposite direction of the expected pitch for the gutter. As a result while putting on the gutters he discovered that the normal pitch the gutter should require would not drain the water. Instead, he explained to me, the gutter would be installed at an awkward angle to the porch roof, adding that to change it at that point would require him to re-do a lot of the work he had done getting the gutters ready, such as installing a hole for the downspout and soldering the end caps in place. I agreed, not wanting to waste all that time and material that was already invested, but I wish I hadn't. The gutter squarely in front of my house looks awful. It is at a radical angle. and not nearly level, as it should be. It looks quite stupid actually. After the work was all done and I'd made my unhappy feelings known to him he said that one way to make it right in the future would be to add a downspout on the right side and in that way the gutter wouldn't need to be pitched at all. Had he planned that in the beginning, the new copper gutter on my front porch roof would look splendid and would be a fine complement to my house.

Jason was super responsive and professional. His team communicated clearly, came when they said they would, and were friendly and professional. Most importantly, their work was outstanding and reasonably priced. We hope to have them continue to work on our roof when it’s needed.

Plain and simple--Jason fixed our leaky slate roof! During the process, he clearly explained what he uncovered and how he thought best to address it. Communication was clear, and he was prompt in assessing the roof and in returning to repair it.

Doherty Roofing eplaced my roof, gutters and installed skylights. Every time I walk by my house I take pleasure in the fact that it looks so good now.

Fantastic job by talented craftsmen. Repairs done carefully and thoroughly and cleanup afterwards was impeccable. Jason goes to the top of the list for all future work. I've already started spreading recommendations to our neighbors.

We had a great experience with Doherty Slate Roofing and would highly recommend Jason and his team. Jason came out in person to inspect our 1930s slate roof and talked us through the repair work and the advantages of the snow retention system. Liz in the office was responsive and super helpful. The work was easily scheduled and completed ahead of time exactly as quoted ($ 4,300 for snow guard and missing slates). These guys are gems - so hard to find experienced and knowledgeable slate contractors these days. We’ll definitely be calling them back for regular repair and maintenance work. Thank you Doherty!

We had a very positive experience with Jason. He clearly takes satisfaction in doing the job right. A neighbor who is a contractor was very impressed.

These guys are great! Jason takes such pride in his work and really makes sure that everything is perfect before he considers the job complete. Also provided detailed explanations for everything he did. Went above and beyond and fixed a few extra things for us while he was there. Would absolutely recommend to others!

Very happy with the work done would recommend them to all my friends, Very professional.

Jason’s roofing expertise was beyond helpful for our roofing issue. He was able to quickly assess the damage and provide an easy and fast solution. I’m thankful I found an expert for slate roofing In the area that was so prompt and easy to work with.

Jason is the best roofer I have used. For over a decade he has taken care of our large and old slate roof with several large skylights. He does outstanding work is fairly priced and highly reliable. I enthusiastically recommend Jason

I recommend Doherty without hesitation. Responsive. Excellent craftsmanship. Clean. Quick.

I've lived in my old house for nearly 20 years. Every few years, slates could come off, or we'd need something fixed. I've struggled to find a good roofer who will do slate work and do it well. The last couple repairs were done with the wrong type of slate (color mismatch) and adding copper hangers everywhere. I just thought that this was the best I was going to get. I checked out the reviews of Doherty Roofing and I had to try again. Jason is a REAL professional. Self-proclaimed perfectionist who cares deeply about his work. He came out a few times to ensure that he sourced the right type of slate (a near perfect match!) and fixed all this repairs from years passed. As we worked, he explained his approach. I learned a lot about slate work - and even my house - from talking with him. He also installed copper snow bars to keep snow from the front walk. I *cannot* recommend Jason more highly.

Work performed by Doherty Roofing was slate inspection, repair, and installation of a snow guard rail. Jason visited for estimate, discussed the scope of work and requirements in detail. Office manager Liz was prompt in responding to emails, providing a quote and status updates. Jason performed necessary repairs and snow guard installation, and also patched a portion of rubber roof that he observed had wear/damage. Highly professional and experienced. A+++

Jason the owner is extremely knowledgeable in slate roofs and is a true craftsman! Work done was excellent and previous roof leaks are now gone. Jason is on site all the time and we really appreciate the constant updates from him as well as Liz the office manager, who keeps everything well organized!

Jason from Doherty Roofing was very responsive and professional. He knows his business well. They moved their schedule around to accommodate the work I needed. Jason was concerned with heavy rain being forecasted for that week and they did the work in one day. I was very happy with the work they did and was happy to pay for the work.

Doherty was great in every way from start to finish. Very responsive and friendly, and quality work done promptly. We will definitely use them again and I recommend them highly.
