Harper Roofing

JD Harper & Sons Roofing is a Lexington roofing company whose history goes back to 1915, when J. D. Harper established the business. It is known for slate, clay and concrete tile replacement and repairs, along with light gauge sheet metal work in copper, painted metal and aluminum. The crews also handle gutters, copper box gutter linings and flexible membrane roofing for low-sloped roofs.

The company stresses that most leaks start at flashings around valleys, vents, chimneys and dormers rather than in the open field of the roof, so detail work gets close attention on replacements. No salespeople are employed, and the company will say when a roof does not need replacing. Customers can reach the office by phone or email, and the business is on Payne Street.
