Get the Picture! When it comes to roofing with slate, tile and copper the old cliche is true - a picture certainly is worth a thousand words!

We have a good idea what your roof will look like long before you do - for obvious reasons. But then we spend all day climbing around on roofs, handling the materials, and fine-tuning our installtions. We don't expect you do have to do the same to envision what a roof will look like. Of course, we provide samples as often as we can, and we do full-scale "mock-ups" when appropriate, but sometimes you just can't quite get "the picture" without, well, having a picture.

In the albums below, we endeavor to provide that picture. Thumb through the albums and imagine what slate, tile or copper might add to your roofing or building project. The first few albums are slate projects, followed by tile roofing projects and last - but not least - we feature a copper work album.

(Just a note about 'navigation': The slides change about every few seconds by default but you can manually control the sequence with the navigation buttons included below each album. Have fun!)

Our Tile work...

Either we've done a lot more tile work over the last few years or we just take more pictures of these jobs but we've got a load of tile roof albums. Everything from French Norman architecture to a house built for Hobbits (and I'm not kidding about the hobbits!).

A John Milner classic: Ludowici machine-made tile

Archer & Buchanan: Machine-made English tile

Various tile projects...

Our Copper work...

This album is a collection of photos from numerous projects by different architects and builders. We try here to show the diversity of forms, shapes and colors that you can achieve when working with copper. The sky really is the limit when it comes to copper work!

Copper roofs, snow guards, finials and more...
