Takes the first call, writes every bid and files the commission applications.
The family firm
A small crew that learned the old trades
Despina runs the office and writes the bids. Yannis leads the slate. Elias makes the copper, and Mei does the cedar and carpentry. We work in teams of our own people, and the same ones come to your house every day of the job.
“A good roof is mostly the parts you can't see.”
Who to call about what
The people who answer for your roof
Yannis Katsaros
Master slater
Leads slate repair and new roofs, and chooses the matching stone.
Elias Gaither
Copper and sheet metal lead
Forms and solders valleys, flashings, gutters and caps in the shop.
Mei Jiang
Cedar and carpentry lead
Matches shingle cut and exposure, and repairs the deck beneath.
How we work
Three rules from the shop
- 01
Repair before replace
If a roof has life left, we say so, even when replacing would be the bigger job.
- 02
Match, don't approximate
We hold the old material against the new before we order it.
- 03
Write it down
The bid, the contract and every change, before we start.
