Doherty Slate Roofing

Jason and team did a great job with our garage copper replacement and we hope to hire them again for our main roof.

Yes, they were very careful and skilled and explained what they were doing. They stuck to the quoted price. The service they provide is unique. Preserving a slate roof makes good sense financially and ecologically. I cannot recommend them more highly!

Excellent work with excellent communication. All at a reasonable price. This is the roofing service to go with for slate roofs

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 a rubber roof and had difficulty finding someone who could do a proper inspection with repairs. I stumbled upon Doherty Slate Roofing in Swampscott, MA. Several houses have slate roofs 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. Jason was spectacular. He also repaired the Boston Saddle hips and the flat copper roof. The work was done promptly, and the cleanup was very, very good. I am excited to write this review as we need people like Doherty to give us honest advice and understand this unique roof for repairs. Doherty took extreme care not to drop anything in the garden. The clean-up was excellent. I am ready for the winter and do not worry about leaks and ice damage from the missing slates.

Jason and his crew where 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. Jason also replaced a portion of my flat rubber roof which had pin holes all over it, he put a beautiful copper drip edge around it and all of a sudden our 120 year old slate roof looks in the best condition it has ever looked.

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
