Milligan Construction | Roofing Services in Providence, RI 02905

Our approach is rooted in preservation. For historic homes, we prioritize matching original materials and techniques, such as using custom-fitted slate or specialized copper flashing. We personally oversee all repairs to ensure they meet historical specifications while providing long-term protection against local weather, effectively addressing common issues like nail pops that can compromise a roof's integrity.

Our reroofing process begins with a thorough assessment of the existing structure and historical elements. We carefully document and preserve salvageable original materials like slate or decorative metalwork. For the replacement, we source materials that match the period and style of your Providence home. The installation is directly supervised by us to ensure the new roof meets both modern performance standards and historical accuracy, providing a seamless restoration.

In Providence, seasonal temperature swings and aging materials in historic homes often cause nail pops (where fasteners back out) and flashing separation. We address these by inspecting the underlying cause. For nail pops, we secure the decking and use appropriate, historically compatible fasteners. For flashing, especially on chimneys and valleys, we custom-fabricate and install new copper flashing, sealed to withstand local weather, preventing leaks and preserving the roof's structure.
