Historic, religious and institutional roofs
Churches, cathedrals, campuses and landmark buildings carry roofs that ordinary crews can't walk on, let alone match. Precision's crews are factory trained on the tile, slate and copper these buildings were built with.
Preservation first
Slate, clay tile and copper systems are matched to the original profiles, textures and patinas, so the building keeps its architectural character.
Factory-certified crews
Certified by the manufacturers preservation boards ask for: Ludowici tile, Vermont and North Country slate, and custom copper flashings.
Drone inspections
High-resolution drone imagery of every ridge, valley, tile and flashing, without anyone stepping on a fragile roof, with a written report of what was found.
Long-term care plans
Routine inspections and a maintenance schedule with a budget forecast, so an institution can plan ahead instead of reacting to leaks.
Warranties
Warranties that cover both materials and workmanship.
Storm response
After a storm or a leak, crews secure the building and get the congregation or the public back inside with as little disruption as possible.
Church restorations by Precision
Hurricane, hail and wind losses on historic churches, restored to their original condition.

Does your tile or slate roof have hail damage?
Hail damage on a historic roof is hard to see from the ground, and easy to make worse. The wrong crew can break more tile walking the roof than the storm did, and the insurance company won't pay for that.
Clay tile
Hail as small as 1" can crack or chip the surface of a clay tile and weaken it. New tile absorbs almost no water, but once the finish is broken, water collects in the cracks, freezes and widens them until the tile fails.
Slate
Slate is layered stone. Hail can puncture, crack or break it, or knock layers off. Older and softer slates, like some Pennsylvania slate, are easier to damage.
Underneath
Once the tile or slate fails, the underlayment is all that's keeping water out, and it doesn't last nearly as long. On a roof over 50 years old, assume it's no longer doing its job.
