WHY SUMMIT IS DIFFERENT

PREMIUM RESIDENTIAL, PRE-WAR NEAR DOWNTOWN.

Summit's housing stock splits between early-1950s colonials and ranches across the bulk of the residential streets, and pre-war housing concentrated on the older blocks near the downtown. The premium character of the market shapes the scope on every job — homeowners care about the shingle profile, the flashing metal, and how the gutters tie in to the trim color.

The recurring conversation in Summit is slate versus asphalt. A real share of pre-war homes here still have original slate fields, and the honest answer on restoration versus replacement depends on slate condition and the homeowner's long-term plan for the house. We walk every roof and bring photos before quoting.

FAQ · Summit

SUMMIT-SPECIFIC
QUESTIONS.

For pricing, materials, and timing questions, see Services.

Slate or asphalt — what's the right call?
Depends on slate condition and how long you plan to be in the house. If 75%+ of the original slate is sound and you'll be there another 20 years, restoration usually wins on long-term math. If failure is widespread, a slate-look designer architectural — typically Landmark Pro — gives a 50-year warranty without the slate price tag. We walk and photograph before quoting.
What's the best architectural shingle for a Summit home?
Default is CertainTeed Landmark Pro for the heavier weight and 50-year warranty. For homes where the original was a slate-look or shake-look product, we step up to a designer architectural with more texture. Samples come to the inspection.
Do you do copper flashing in Summit?
Yes. Copper step flashing, counter-flashing, and valley work are standard scope where the original detailing was copper. On pre-war Summit housing this is the right metal — aluminum substitutes look wrong against the architecture.
How quickly can you get out for a quote?
Free on-site inspection within 48 hours of your call. Written quote within 12 hours of the inspection. Quote is good for 15 days.
