Services
Slate Roofing
Mahan Slate Roofing provides comprehensive slate roofing solutions from minor repairs to full custom installations. Our trained specialists conduct detailed inspections and deliver written reports identifying issues. Using premium slate materials, we restore historic roofs and install new systems designed to last over 100 years with proper maintenance. Our expertise includes matching existing slate patterns and ensuring watertight installations that enhance property value and durability.
Copper Roofing
Specializing in copper roofing systems, we offer durable solutions combining aesthetic appeal with exceptional longevity. Our team expertly installs batten seam, standing seam, and flat pan copper roofs that resist corrosion and develop attractive natural patinas. Copper's malleability allows complex architectural designs while maintaining structural integrity. Proper installation techniques ensure watertight protection and decades of reliable performance for residential and commercial properties.
Architectural Copper
Our in-house sheet metal shop creates custom copper elements for architectural applications. From ornamental details to functional components, we fabricate precise reproductions or original designs. Projects include cornices, cupolas, and decorative accents requiring exact craftsmanship. The durability of copper ensures 50-100 year service life for exterior features while maintaining visual appeal through natural weathering processes.
Gutters and Downspouts
We design and install heavy-duty copper gutters and downspouts engineered for New England's climate. Custom fabrication ensures proper sizing and slope for efficient water management. Available in various styles, our systems prevent overflow damage while complementing historic and modern architecture. Reinforced construction withstands winter ice loads and maintains functionality for decades without degradation.
Snow Retention
Our engineered snow retention solutions prevent dangerous snow slide from slate roofs. We install pipe systems, paddle guards, or hybrid configurations tailored to roof geometry and snow load requirements. Proper placement maintains roof integrity while protecting people and property below. Custom designs balance functionality with aesthetic considerations for both new and existing installations.
