Call (844) 563-1816

Arlington’s streetcar-era housing stock, much of it built between 1880 and 1930, means we spend more time patching 80- to 120-year-old slate than tearing off and replacing. The 8/12, 10/12, even 12/12 pitches on these narrow lots make ladder placement and staging a constant safety calculation, not an afterthought. We have been at this since 1984, and we know that an Arlington roof repair done right means respecting the original materials while stopping the water for good.

Our Roof Repair Services in Arlington

Slate Repair

Arlington’s concentration of original slate roofs, now 80 to 120 years old, makes selective slate repair a core skill here, not a specialty we farm out. We assess each cracked, slipped, or missing piece, match replacement slate from our GAF and CertainTeed synthetic lines to the original color and thickness, and install with copper or stainless fasteners that will outlast the next century. On steep pitches above 8/12, common throughout ZIP 02474 and 02476, our crews use specialized roof brackets and toe boards rather than relying on ladder jacks that can scar old slate or slip on narrow eaves.

Flashing Repair

Old mortar and lead flashings at chimney and valley intersections fail predictably on Arlington’s centenarian roofs, often hiding leaks that only announce themselves after heavy nor’easters drive water sideways. We remove failed flashings back to sound substrate, install new step and counter flashing in copper or coated aluminum, and seal with high-grade masonry sealant where chimney mortar has turned to dust. In East Arlington’s Morningside neighborhood, we were called out for a persistent leak in a 1905 Victorian’s valley. Our tech found the original copper valley had corroded where it met a later asphalt shingle patch, and we carefully replaced the flashing and matched the existing slate with synthetic slate from our GAF line, ensuring the repair blended in and stopped the water intrusion for good.

Valley Repair

Multiple valleys, common on Arlington’s gambrel and Victorian rooflines, create the highest water volume points on any roof and the first place ice dams exploit. We open valleys to inspect for rotted sheathing, install new woven or closed-cut valley flashing depending on the original design, and always check that attic ventilation is adequate, because in pre-1940 Arlington housing, poor soffit-to-ridge airflow turns valleys into ice-dam breeding grounds year after year.

Flat Roof Patch

Triple-deckers and bay-window bump-outs in East Arlington often carry EPDM or built-up flat sections that demand membrane-specific repair. We patch with matching EPDM, TPO, or modified bitumen, seal seams with manufacturer-approved adhesives, and inspect drains and scuppers that clog with leaves from the mature oak canopy lining many Arlington streets. Staging these repairs means negotiating shared fences and zero setbacks from neighboring foundations, a constraint our crews handle daily.

Trusted Brands We Service in Arlington

We are authorized installers for GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, Atlas, Tamko, and Boral, and we stock repair-grade materials matched to Arlington’s common roof types. For slate and steep-pitch work, we carry GAF’s synthetic slate in weathered gray and Vermont green, the profiles we encounter most on Arlington’s pre-1940 housing. For flat repairs, we keep EPDM and TPO membrane in standard widths to avoid seams in small patches. Parts on the truck mean no waiting for a special order while your ceiling stain spreads.

Common Roof Repair Problems We See in Arlington Homes

• Ice dams in under-ventilated attics. Arlington sits in eastern Massachusetts ice-dam territory, and pre-1940 homes here rarely have modern soffit-to-ridge ventilation. Snow melts on the warm roof deck, refreezes at the eave, and backs up under shingles. We repair the resulting leaks and assess whether added ventilation can prevent the next cycle.
• Failed lead and mortar flashings at century-old chimneys. On roofs now 100 to 120 years old, original lead step flashings have work-hardened and cracked, while mortar joints have turned porous. The leak often runs down interior chimney breasts, mistaken for roof leaks until we trace it to the source.
• Multiple asphalt layers over original slate. Two or three tear-off cycles deep, these sandwiches create uneven surfaces that pool water and accelerate failure of any new patch. We strip to the original deck where necessary, repair slate beneath, and install a single proper layer above.
• Corroded copper valleys meeting later asphalt patches. Galvanic corrosion between old copper and newer aluminum or steel flashing is routine on Arlington’s patched-and-repatched roofs, producing pinhole leaks that spray into attic spaces during driven rain.
