factory-manufactured sheet membranes. They
generally are categorized as either
thermoplastic or thermoset and include EPDM
(rubber), PVC and TPO. NorthStar having
successfully completed over 15 million
square feet of single ply roofing over the
past 15 years with over 10 million square

problems, changes and breakdowns of the
roofing systems. These inspections identify
timely repairs to systems before they can

who work directly with you, your architects
and/or general contractors to specify a

term needs and your budget.
● Metal Roofing Panel Systems
There are three general categories of metal
roofing systems used for steep-slope roofing
applications: architectural metal panel,
structural metal panel and metal
shingle/shingle panels. The standing seam
architectural metal panel systems are a
traditional New England roofing solution
that is both a long-term solution and
provides special architectural beauty.
NorthStar has the talent, equipment and
experience to deliver a quality finished
roofing system.
● Slate Roofs
Roofing slate is a dense, durable, naturally
occurring material that is essentially
nonabsorbent. The color of slate is
determined by its chemical and mineral
composition. Because these factors differ in
various regions, roofing slate can be
obtained in a variety of colors. NorthStar
has the skilled craftsmen who have installed
and serviced thousands of squares of various
slate roofs.
● Wood Shingle and Shake Roofs
Wood shakes and shingles are generally
manufactured from western red cedar,
cypress, pine and redwood trees. Shakes are
split to obtain a textured effect. Wood
shingles are sawn on both sides with an
even taper. These are an architectural specialty
that require crews with the “know how” to
provide a quality installation. NorthStar
provides crew’s with these proven abilities.
● Standing Seam Copper Roofing
Standing Seam Copper Panels on a roof system
are constructed of many interlocking panels
that run vertically from the roof's ridge
(the top of the roof) to the eave. An
architectural favorite, with the beauty that
is sought by the demanding connoisseur who
wants their building to have that long term
weather proof protection and special beauty
– A NorthStar specialty!
● Tile Roofs
Clay tile is produced by baking molded clay
into tile. Concrete tiles are made of
Portland cement, sand and water in varying
proportions. As a result, there are a wide
variety of tile profiles, styles, finishes
and colors available. This is a specialized
application that the NorthStar craftsmen
have been installing and servicing for
years.
● Custom Copper Cornices & Gutters
A cornice is a decorative piece of molding
that extends beyond a roof and is
horizontally situated. Cornices are most
commonly fabricated in materials that can be
soldered such as copper, lead coated copper,
stainless steel, terne coated stainless
steel, and zinc. These types of copper work
are a thing of beauty that last a lifetime
and beyond when properly prepared and
installed – at NorthStar we have completed
thousands of feet of cornice and gutter
utilizing our technologically advanced and
fully equipped sheet metal shop.
● Flat Seam Copper Roofing
Flat Seam Copper Roof Panels consisting of
individual “pans” which are held in place by
cleats and then the seams are malleted down
and soldered. A specialized roofing style
mastered by only a select few tradesmen for
very particular building applications –
NorthStar has installed this
roofing system on numerous roofs for many
satisfied clients over the years.
● Masonry Restoration & Waterproofing
Chimneys, parapet walls and custom masonry
cornices can be repaired and updated by
NorthStar’s masonry specialists.
Waterproofing is a special
application, usually to concrete that may
require special sealants, primers, underlayments and overlayments.

experience to complete these tasks. |
