NorthStar has the skilled craftsmen who have installed and serviced thousands of squares of various slate roofs.

Wood shingles are sawn on both sides with an even taper. These are an architectural specialty that require crews with the “know how” to provide a quality installation. NorthStar provides crew’s with these proven abilities.

This is a specialized application that the NorthStar craftsmen have been installing and servicing for years.
