The leadwork & flashing work itself

Lead is the difference between a roof that lasts 50 years and one that leaks at every junction. We dress lead flashings around chimneys and abutments, form valleys, aprons and step flashings, and re-cover lead bay-window roofs in heritage code 5 lead with rolled joints — exactly the way they were originally built.

Bay-window and porch roof re-covering
