Oxford Slate Metal Roof: Billerica, Massachusetts

A 300-year-old antique 2-story Center Chimney Colonial located in Billerica, Massachusetts. This project has a roof deck in poor condition. The roof needs to be stripped and the deck needs to be re-sheathed with plywood.

The customer decided on an Energy Star rated Oxford Slate aluminum metal roof for their house.
