Read MoreAlthough we completed this stunning Ozarks roof last year, we recently had the opportunity to revisit and take some photos of the completed estate. Vermont slate tiles were used for the roof of the living area, garage and pool house. We also installed custom-fabricated copper flashings on this 23,000-square-foot home.
Read MoreIt's always gratifying to restore the luster of a historic home. We recently finished a total slate roof replacement on a vintage house in Lawrence. Although slate is highly durable, the waterproofing and wood beneath it corrodes over time and can ultimately lead to water damage. New Vermont slate, accompanied by copper flashing and copper nails, restored the organic beauty of the original roof and a separate garage building.
Read More“Shake” historically refers to thick, textured wooden shingles. Before modern techniques were invented, shakes were split from a block of redwood or cedar. The splitting action created the fibrous texture known as shake. An alternative to wood is an equally appealing synthetic shake shingle. These are made with polymers or from recycled materials, with curb appeal that equals or rivals that of wood shake.
Read MoreCan you have the aesthetic appeal and durability of a stone roof without the stone? Absolutely. A Jackson County, Mo., client recently chose stone-coated steel for her roof. What are these tiles made of? A stone finish is permanently adhered to a metal base. It makes an excellent roof for homes that want the look of an earthen surface but are not structurally engineered to support stone, slate or tile. Explore the possibilities of stone-coated steel roofing in Greater Kansas City.

Our team replaced it with Owens Corning Duration Williamsburg Gray composition shingles, along with a new waterproof underlayment. This stylish choice is also sturdy: It resists algae, has a wind rating of 130 MPH and a Class A Fire Rating. Owens Corning’s StreakGuard Algae Resistance Protection helps inhibit the growth of blue-green algae to provide protection against resulting black streaks.
Read MoreIt’s gratifying to help homeowners re-use their roofing material because of its quality and longevity. This Lee’s Summit homeowner was experiencing leaks, but its Ludowici terra cotta clay tile was holding firm. Instead, the waterproof underlayment beneath the tiles had deteriorated and allowed moisture to penetrate. Our task was to remove the underlayment while preserving all the Ludowici tiles. Once a new waterproof membrane was installed, thousands of tiles were re-attached to the roof of this lakeside home. The key? Quality materials that last and a team experienced in giving roofs TLC.

Fidler creates custom copper components on site. This eliminates lead time and allows for instant adaptations. Products include copper ridge and chimney caps, flashing and valleys and cupolas (domed fixtures atop roofs).
Read MoreWe never settle for “good enough” because a dependable roof is not optional. It must be waterproof, durable – and for many clients – stylish. Speaking of style, copper features are popular. Because we want to create a custom look for each homeowner, we fabricate many of our own copper components.
