Ben came by recommendation. He came out to our leaking roof within a few hours of the call and worked quickly and efficiently to fix previous shoddy workmanship. He was extremely reliable, easy to talk to and his pricing was very reasonable! I would highly recommend BAR Roofing!
Ben was extremely reliable and helpful when he came to inspect my roof. I had been told I needed a reroof by a different contractor who just wanted money but Ben found the issue and resolved it efficiently with no problems.

Frequently asked questions about lead works
Why is lead used in roofing?
Lead is extremely durable, flexible, and weatherproof — ideal for joints and areas where water needs to be directed away.
It’s especially useful for chimneys, valleys, and abutments.
How long does roof lead work last?
Properly installed leadwork can last over 100 years. Regular maintenance and correct installation are key to its longevity.
Is lead flashing safe?
Yes. Once installed, lead flashing poses no risk to health and is fully recyclable, making it a sustainable choice for roofing.
