Art Slate Roofing

Art Slate Roofing is a Malden, family-run slate and copper roofing specialist, founded in 2005 by Arturo Almeida after roughly a decade learning the trade from senior Boston craftsmen; the company says he still personally walks and quotes every roof himself. Its stated work covers slate and copper installation and repair, historic restoration, chimney rebuilding, gutters, ice-melt systems and flat roofing, with a service area stretching from Back Bay and Beacon Hill out to Newton, Cambridge, Somerville, Belmont, Watertown and Stoneham. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration is active, and its Better Business Bureau profile — which lists 21 years in business — carries an A+ rating with accredited status, though the BBB page itself shows no reviews or complaint counts. There's no customer review on file yet to say how a project actually goes, so ask to see recent slate or copper work and talk through timeline and pricing directly before signing on.
