My wife and I own the 100-plus-year-old Queen Anne-style building in Bristol, New Hampshire that is now getting re-roofed in Authentic Roof synthetic slate -- part of which you feature on your "pictures" section of this web site.

The pictures you show are of the carriage house at the back of our property. At present, the contractor is re-roofing the main house and is about half-way complete. Your synthetic slate looks incredible and is the talk of this town right now (we rehabilitated the main house over the past couple of years and the new roof is the crowning final part of it).

I want to thank you for making such a fine-quality product. As my wife and I are by no means wealthy, your product is affordable -- much more cost-effective than real slate, with fewer headaches but all the benefits of the appearance.Finally, as chair of the local historic district I can recommend your product as one step in the process of cost-effective rehabilitation of historic structures so that property owners have options other than tearing down historic structures. Finally, our house -- the Henry Whipple House -- is on the New Hampshire register of historic places. It's our hope that our use of your synthetic slate brings more positive attention to the product. I look forward to seeing pictures of our house, when re-roofed in the next month, on your web site.

In addition, I welcome inquiries from people attempting to preserve their historic structures and who are considering your product -- I endorse the product whole-heartedly.
