Oxford Slate Metal Roof: Billerica, Massachusetts

A 300-year-old antique 2-story Center Chimney Colonial located in Billerica, Massachusetts. This project has a roof deck in poor condition. The roof needs to be stripped and the deck needs to be re-sheathed with plywood.

The customer decided on an Energy Star rated Oxford Slate aluminum metal roof for their house.

	This is the house with its newly built and restored center chimney just completed.
	The arrival of our crew with truck and equipment trailer. (Our trailers are workshops on wheels.) Note the dumpster in the foreground. It was delivered the day before.
	The plywood for the new sheathing arrives at the site the day we begin the project. This roof has 300-year-old boards that are in poor condition. The need to have this roof re-sheathed will be obvious as the shingles come off.
	Preparing to strip off the old asphalt shingles.
	The removal of the old roof.
	The cleanup crew. We clean up the site daily to be sure there is a safe environment for everyone involved. We also do a magnetic sweep of the site for any nails that our visual inspection may have missed.
	Cutting in the new reglet in the chimney for the flashing detail.
	The Crew begins installing the new sheathing over the existing boards.
	New trim boards are installed. You can see the old ones were in pretty tough shape.
	Re-sheathing is complete and the lifetime underlayment is getting put down.
	A little snow in the middle of the job does not slow us down a bit.
	Installation of the new aluminum Oxford “Slate” roof with lower roof re-sheathed and covered in underlayment ready to go.
	Front and back of roof staged and just about complete with the new Oxford “Slate” metal roof.
	Project completed. Another satisfied client!
