The very nice guys from Twelfth Century Slate Roofing arrived today to make some repairs for us. It's a bit noisy here at 83 Durant. They are working on the chimney first, fixing up the counter-flashing (that goes around the flashing that the mason already installed). They're also replacing some missing and broken slates, as well as putting on a lovely new copper ridge. It's an exciting day!
Here are some after shots:
We learned that our downspout & gutter guy messed up. The gutters are too high for a slate roof, and the downspouts were put on backwards (which is why the water runs down the OUTSIDE of the gutters). This is annoying. But they said the chimney looked good. They also gave some advice on the flat roof on the back and the small overhang over the front door. We're going to get some estimates for rubber roofing for those areas, but it's not a huge rush.
That's all for now!
