New York English Cottage, Cedar Roof Restoration Project

Located in Douglaston, NY, this historic home still had the original roof. In 2017, Roofing Artisans was approved by the New York City Landmark Commission to be the contractor for this historic roof restoration project. While our goal is always to maintain historical integrity, Roofing Artisans has developed new techniques that allows for Artistic expression.
