TOWN HALL ROOF REPLACEMENT

The aerial view of the work being done on the Town Hall roof is quite impressive!

Opting for a slate roof replacement isn't just about aesthetics; it's a practical choice, promising a lifespan of over 50 years.

The existing slate roof (original to the building) and gutter system have been leaking and causing water issues for quite some time.

We look forward to the completion of this major upgrade to Memorial Town Hall. Stay tuned for updates as the project progresses.
