The Details That Define a Great Roof

A cricket is a small, peaked structure built behind the high side of a chimney to guide water away from it. In 2012, the IBC made it code that chimneys over 30 inches wide must have a cricket installed.

Without one, water will pool at the base of the chimney, eventually leading to leaks, rotting wood, and costly interior damage. We fabricate and install crickets from wood framing covered in shingles, aluminum, or copper to seamlessly match your roof.

A cornice is the decorative trim or molding located at the top edge of a building, just beneath the roofline. Its primary purpose is to enhance curb appeal, adding character and a finished look to classical, colonial, and traditional-style homes.

We custom-fabricate cornices from durable materials like copper, aluminum, and PVC to complement your home's design. Beyond their visual appeal, cornices also play an important role in protecting the building's façade from water damage.

A chimney cap is a protective covering installed at the top of a chimney to shield it from weather damage, pests, and debris. Aesthetically, a chimney shroud gives your home a more refined and architectural look.

At REVMA, we fabricate and install custom chimney shrouds tailored to the exact dimensions of your chimney. We use premium materials like aluminum, copper, and lead-coated copper to guarantee durability and a long-lasting finish.

A finial is a decorative ornament typically installed at the peak of a roof, turret, or gable. Often crafted from copper or aluminum, finials serve as an elegant finishing touch that enhances the architectural style of a home, especially on Victorian, Gothic, or French-inspired designs.

Available in a wide variety of shapes and sizes (typically 12" to 18" tall), or custom-made to match your home's details, they are a great way to add character and craftsmanship to your roof.

Snow guards are essential components for any well-designed roofing system, particularly in New York. They are installed to prevent large sheets of snow and ice from sliding off the roof, which can damage vehicles, landscaping, or even pose a risk to pedestrians below.

Available in materials like copper and aluminum, snow guards can be customized to blend with your roof"s color and style, ensuring that this crucial safety enhancement doesn"t compromise your home"s curb appeal.
