Lexington roofing splits between two very different kinds of homes: historic colonials clustered around the Battle Green and Lexington Center, and modern colonials and contemporaries across East Lexington, Follen Hill, and the Route 2A corridor. Cedar shake and slate restoration are a specialty on the historic side; heritage-line asphalt and standing seam metal serve the newer stock. Same-day inspection response from our Sibley Rd. shop.
