Old World Craftsmen Meeting Today's Challenges
FSI Restorations, LLC a New Jersey company, Pa. has its share of Slate, Tile, Cedar roofing projects and most of them are refurbishment projects. Often, inexperienced contractors have destroyed areas of historic roofing and ruined the prospects for reasonable dismantling and repair.
The use of roofing tar and caulking actually causes existing leaks to become worse. FSI Restorations, LLC expounds upon this roofing dilemma extensively on the company website. As stated on the company website, “A can of flashing cement and a trowel is all the unscrupulous contractor needs to generate almost immediate income. With little or no expertise and a ladder, these guys are making slate roof nightmares every day.” This statement extends to Tile and Cedar and Copper and Tin and just about any type of roof.
Most modern contractors have little knowledge of old-world roofing. The specifications submitted in an estimate may seem valid to an unsuspecting consumer. Even modern architects need to return to school on these issues. The problem is that the schools are just not teaching what is necessary to become an expert.
We ask the consumer to visit our company website and become educated before allowing anyone upon your roof. Extensive information is available on the 300+ website for consumers in the New Jersey serving area and around the country, as the issues are prevalent anywhere a cheap repair is desired.
