Slate Roof Installation and Repair
in Newburyport
Slate roofs are an important architectural feature on many historic and distinctive Newburyport properties. Although slate is known for its impressive longevity, individual tiles, flashing, valleys and fasteners may eventually require professional attention.
Our slate roofing services include:
- Slate roof inspections
- Broken or missing slate replacement
- Slate roof leak repair
- Copper flashing replacement
- Valley repair and replacement
- Chimney-area roof repairs
- Partial slate restoration
- Complete slate roof installation
- Preventive slate roof maintenance
When the majority of a slate roof remains in serviceable condition, targeted repairs may help preserve the existing roof and extend its useful life.
Custom Copper Roofing and Flashing
Copper provides lasting protection while complementing the traditional character of Newburyport’s historic and architecturally distinctive buildings.
Craig Smith Roofing provides custom copper fabrication and installation for:
- Copper roof sections
- Copper flashing

- Copper gutters
- Copper downspouts
- Copper trim
- Custom architectural details

Every piece is carefully fitted to the roof to help direct water away from seams, chimneys, valleys and other vulnerable areas.
Roofing for Historic Newburyport Properties
Working on an older or historic property requires an understanding of traditional roofing materials and how the different parts of the roof work together.
Craig Smith Roofing has extensive experience with slate, copper and specialty roofing systems commonly found on older buildings. We carefully evaluate the roof before recommending work and seek to preserve serviceable materials whenever practical.
Our specialty roofing services are well suited for historic homes and buildings throughout downtown Newburyport, the South End, the North End, High Street and surrounding neighborhoods.
Property owners should verify whether local review or approval is required before making changes to a historically significant building or roofline.

Our flat-roofing services include:
- Rubber roof installation

- Tar-and-gravel roofing
- Flat-roof leak detection

Seamless Copper Gutters and Gutter Services
Properly functioning gutters are especially important for buildings with complex rooflines, slate roofing and custom architectural details.
Our gutter services include:
- Seamless copper gutters
- Gutters in assorted colors
- Downspout installation
- Gutter repair
- Gutter replacement
- Gutter cleaning
- Roof-drainage evaluations
We can examine how water moves from the roof into the gutters and downspouts to identify areas that may be contributing to leaks, overflow or deterioration.
Roof Leak Detection and Specialty Repairs
The location of an interior leak does not always reveal where water is entering through the roof. Water may travel beneath slate, along flashing or through seams before becoming visible inside the building.
When investigating a roof leak, we may examine:
- Slate tiles
- Copper flashing
- Roof valleys
- Chimney connections
- Flat-roof seams
- Roof penetrations
- Gutters and downspouts
- Drainage areas
- Transitions between roofing materials
Once the likely source is identified, we can recommend a focused repair or a more extensive solution based on the roof’s overall condition.
