Concord's housing stock is unlike almost any other town we serve — Federal-era colonials around Monument Square, farmhouses out toward Nine Acre Corner, and a working historic district with real design guidelines. That's why the majority of our Concord work is period-correct slate and hand-formed copper flashing, not commodity asphalt. We're a 14-mile, one-business-day response from our Sibley Rd. shop in Waltham.
Why Concord homeowners choose Palma
- Slate and copper is a core specialty. Vermont slate, hand-split cedar, and hand-formed copper step, apron, and chimney flashings — the detail Concord's older homes require.
- Historic-district experience. We work sensitively inside Concord's historic district, matching original profile, exposure, and ridge detail.
- GAF certified. Top 2% of US roofing contractors — for Concord homes moving to a heritage-line architectural asphalt with a 50-year system warranty.
- MA HIC #CS-110335. Fully registered with the Massachusetts Office of Consumer Affairs and insured for Concord Building Department permit work.
- 10-year craftsmanship warranty on every install, on top of the manufacturer's material warranty.
