Jason did an excellent job with the slate roof repair work. He did a thorough inspection on the roof, recommended a reasonable scope of work, and carried through in a timely manner. This really stood out compared with some other companies that tried to quote us with expensive repairs that was not well justified. On top of that the communication was great, the start date was pushed back a few times due to the weather but updates were given well in advance so that I can plan accordingly.

Outstanding work, outstanding service. Installed new fascia boards, copper gutters, and snow guards. Jason is the best. It's just him (25+ years of experience) and his crew. No hard sell, tries to save you money but ensure you're doing what's best for your roof. Attention to detail. Walked us through an explanation. Described what was going on as he was doing the work. Quality craftwork, honest, responsive. Recommend as highly as possible.

Jason came out to access the job the same week I contacted Doherty Slate. He reviewed and explained the issues he felt were of concern and others that I should consider. All great and NOT pushy overselling. I needed some time before committing but when when i was ready they got me on their list immediately. Liz was great about reaching out to keep me updates as my job got closer.

They arrived as expected and completed the job quickly. They kept teh job site clean and safe and kept me updated as they progressed. After the job they checked back to ensure there were no questions or issues ( which is great because sometimes thing look fine of day 1 but are seen further down the line). Not the case with me, all was grand and we were very happy with the work performed. Reasonable rates as well.

We had a bad wind storm back in March that ripped part of our roof off. Didn't realize until I saw water stains on the bathroom ceiling that something was NOT right. ..Playing phone tag with Jason, he finally came out to assess and informed me what restoration was needed. He didn't try to sell me a new roof. He also did tell me he was extremely busy, but would put an estimate together and we'd go from there...Fast forward to beginning of June...able to squeeze me in, came out and were able to restore the roof and ever since - no more leakss!! Jason and his crew are very professional, reliable, good quality and most importantly clean up after they are done. He doesn't t try to upsell you with things that are not needed. You tell him what is happening and he takes it from there. I'd definitely hire him again.

Can't say enough good things about Doherty Roofing. In a trade full of fly by night contractors whose only tool is a phone, because they sub all their jobs out to random pick up crews, Jason is a highly skilled, experienced pro who gives your roof his personal attention to ensure that the job is done properly. Jason is responsive, listens and explains, has integrity (he says what he is going to do and does what he says), is knowledgeable, and is a good dude! Jason replaced my roof, gutters and installed skylights.

Every time I walk by my house I take pleasure in the fact that it looks so good now. The previous owner of my house had a cricket installed against the chimney in an attempt to prevent water infiltration. When Jason replaced my roof he removed the cricket. I asked him, don't I need that cricket? He said, no I flashed your chimney properly and it won't be a problem. He sure was right. Doherty Roofing is exactly the kind of contractor you want working on your house!

Because slate maintain its composition for decades and the material is durable, long lasting, and beautiful, having a slate roof can increase your home's value. However, maintenance can be trying, since skilled craftsmen in this trade is few and far between. We were extremely happy with Doherty Slate Roofing's expertise and Jason's knowledge of his craft and material.

His pricing was fair and his services prompt and professional. In addition to matching / replacing slate tile he also repaired a leak on a section of rubber roof, and fixed tiles around a skylight.

Jason has taken care of our large and old slate roof for over a decade. He fixed many a problem, especially with leaky skylights. Jason is the very best! Completely reliable, he has a sixth sense for finding the hidden weaknesses. What he fixes, lasts forever. Fairly priced. I enthusiastically recommended Jason, especially for complex work.

I've lived in my old house for nearly 20 years. Every few years, slates could come off, or we'd need something fixed. I've struggled to find a good roofer who will do slate work and do it well. The last couple repairs were done with the wrong type of slate (color mismatch) and adding copper hangers everywhere. I just thought that this was the best I was going to get. I checked out the reviews of Doherty Roofing and I had to try again. Jason is a REAL professional. Self-proclaimed perfectionist who cares deeply about his work. He came out a few times to ensure that he sourced the right type of slate (a near perfect match!) and fixed all this repairs from years passed. As we worked, he explained his approach. I learned a lot about slate work - and even my house - from talking with him. He also installed copper snow bars to keep snow from the front walk. I *cannot* recommend Jason more highly.

Jason from Doherty Roofing was very responsive and professional. He knows his business well. They moved their schedule around to accommodate the work I needed. Jason was concerned with heavy rain being forecasted for that week and they did the work in one day. I was very happy with the work they did and was happy to pay for the work.

Jason, the owner, does it the old-fashioned way, by hand, soldering every 3 feet or so. The gutters and much of the roof were in a terrible state and he had to rip out all of the gutters, the old metal apron that had 50 years of gunk on it, remove/replace slate and redo everything with copper and slate. He was meticulous and was able to give me advice on what could be saved so I didn't have to replace the whole roof. The amount of copper needed was huge and he had the gutters (100' on a side) made in one piece. For the copper apron he made each piece and crimped, the welded them. He was great to work with and worked very well with the carpenter we had. I didn't know I needed a huge roof repair until May, and by then most contractors were busy through the fall. All but one day of those who did come out to view the roof did not follow up with an estimate although I called them repeatedly. The one who did follow up quoted $30k for staging alone. In contrast, Jason got back to me right away with two proposals. He started within a few weeks and we were able to modify, add things as the work progressed. I could always get in touch with him via phone, email or text and he would respond right away. People would stop to watch the work progress since few people use copper any more. I talked with other contractors who gave offhand estimates double of what we ended up paying. Jason also does regular roofing, not just copper and slate, but he does it the right way--no junky tar or funky metal. He is courteous and professional and generally unflappable. He even loved my dog!

Jason set an appointment a few days after my initial phone call, and arrived on time. He identified the causes of water damage to paint and to wood in several areas, and provided a reasonable estimate for correcting these.
