My grandfather would have been proud. His name was Louis J. Chartier. He founded Newport Roofing Co. in the 1930's. If it were not for him and his high quality standards, I would not be performing traditional roofing techniques today. abp123@r.postjobfree.com

As I repair leaks on this gravel surfaced, multiple ply asphalt built-up roof (aka tar and gravel) on a historic building in downtown Bristol, I wonder if my grandfather's crew installed the roof and copper work.

Formerly, I was vice president of a larger local roofing company; as well as Rhode Island representative for a fortune 500 roof materials manufacturer. I have many years of experience in all types of residential and commercial roofing. I first began roofing in 1980, and since then I have never had a customer dispute. I understand and care about people and roof problems. I have an extremely solid roofing foundation, and hands on experience in all types roofing and flashing; repairs and replacement. Due to many years of solving roof problems, I understand why new and old roofs leak and the types of mistakes typically made by roofing crews. My experience combined with my strong moral and ethical values, allows me to make quality agreements with customers; and then deliver and exceed customer's expectations. This is why, over my entire career, every single customer has paid every penny of their bill with absolutely no exceptions. I do right by people and they do right by me. Call me at 401-***-****

At the ripe age of 48, I am still connected with the roofing process because I still work physically on the roof every week. Few people have my hands on experience. If you are looking for a fast, cheap roof, you are in the wrong place. But if you are looking for possibly the best roofer in the state and possibly the best roofer in New England, you are in the right place. References available.

Where it all began, first truck and one of "Integrity's" first rubber roof jobs with white cedar siding, chimney flashings and a gutter helmet in Touisset, Warren, RI. (Approx. June, 1999) I got heat stroke one day on that job.

Alex in his early twenties around 1986. atop an octagonal cupola in Marion Ma. See the large copper ship weathervane. Bird roof shingles, White Cedar extras, windows, and our first Carlisle .045 reinforced rubber roof. This was a very long time ago.

This one was early 1987 in downtown Stamford Ct.; I wasforeman on my first high rise, roof replacement approximately 220 feet in the air. The 30 inch wide balconies were tough but I did each and every one of them myself. The roof was a Durolast heat welded modified reinforced pvc membrane mechanically attached to a flexicore concrete deck. The job was a challenge because I had to live in the same rooms with the men, while running the job.

While we do specialize in roofing, once my customers get to know me, they ask me to do other types of projects, such as this new window in the Bristol Highlands (RI). A completely new window, trim and siding with interior trim because the old window sill was rotten and causing water to leak at the window sill and cause staining at the ceiling below. We installed a new sloped cap and new 30lb. felt splines to flash the new red cedar trim. Once painted, you couldn't even tell that a project had been performed.

Mike's expert carpentry puts the finishing touches on the interior of this new window in the Bristol highlands in 2010. The old window was leaking, rotten and drafty. We had to perform the removal and installation without disturbing the bathroom wall tile, or else the project would have cost much more. This customer did not want a "replacement window" on the old sill, he wanted an entirely new window with all new exterior flashing components rather than new sash in the same old window opening. Such a proper installation takes more time but eliminates risk of future draftiness and leakage. Now-a-days, shotty contractors are installing new replacement windows over old rotten sills causing problems and great expense for homeowners.

The photo to the left depicts major rafter damage, rot, bugs, and a great expense for the owner because a roof was installed with inadequate ventilation. This owner, in Warren RI, unfortunately received a very expensive lesson on the importance of continuous roof ventilation to avoid roof condensation build-up, bugs, and rot.
