AFI Specialty Roofing Services & Project Types

Metal and copper (standing, flat, or batten seam) roofs provide an exceptional blend of character and durability. The unique aging process of copper roofs creates the iconic green patina which many homeowners admire. Other metal and pre-finished materials ensure long-lasting performance while enhancing your property's visual appeal. 

Slate is celebrated for its durability, fire resistance, and stunning appearance. Working with slate demands specialized knowledge and skills due to its intricate characteristics and the diversity of available options. The right type of slate is essential for any project to ensure both beauty and longevity.

Snow retention systems are designed to hold snow  on the roof to melt in place. These systems help protect from the potential hazards of snow slides, which can be destructive to gutters, lower roofs, grounds and plantings, and, most importantly, individuals. 

Gutter systems are vital for safeguarding your home against water damage by channeling rainwater away from the foundation, thereby preventing erosion and preserving structural integrity. Your property can be enhanced with custom-fabricated or pre-fabricated gutter systems using expert techniques like soldering copper gutter seams Depending on your specific roofing system, a range of options are available, including copper, aluminum, custom box, built-in, and concealed gutters, tailored to your style and needs. With appropriate routine maintenance, these options offer remarkable durability and aesthetic appeal, ensuring they last for many years.

Flat roofs commonly use EPDM and TPO, both synthetic rubber roofing membranes, ideal for low-slope buildings. Known for their weather resistance and low maintenance requirements, they boast long lifespan, making them a reliable choice for many construction projects. Their durability allows your roof to weather various environmental conditions. 

Roofing systems consist of several key components, including chimneys, ridges, valleys, dormers, aprons, vent pipes, counter flashings, and other roof penetration which require proper methods to ensure longevity. Knowing their value is crucial for maintaining a durable and efficient system. 

Regular maintenance and annual repair programs for all roofing, and gutter and snow retention systems are necessary for addressing minor issues before they escalate into major repairs. Being proactive extends your roof's lifespan, avoids unnecessary expenses, and gives peace of mind.
