Welcome to Unikorn Construction.

You could buy the best roofing materials out there, but if they’re not installed properly you could be setting yourself up for persistent leaks—and damage to your attic, walls, and even your home’s foundation. 

To us, installation is everything. We use traditional methods that have been favored by skilled artisans for centuries, but we’re equally interested in modern materials when it comes to installing or restoring your roof—whether it’s metal, slate, or cedar shake. That means no exposed screws, rivets, or caulking and roofs that are Hudson Valley–ready, primed to weather heavy snowfalls, pounding rain, and severe winds.

METAL ROOFING

Metal roofing materials, especially zinc and copper, have been commonly used throughout Europe for centuries, and are gaining popularity in the United States.

ZINC ROOFING

Some 70 percent of residential roofs in Europe are made of zinc, and for good reason. The natural, non-corrosive metal is lightweight, “self-healing,” and virtually maintenance-free.

copper roofING

You can easily spot a copper roof by its color—a bright, orange-brown hue at the outset, maturing over time into a striking blue-green or blue-gray patina.

CEDAR SHAKES

Cedar shakes, made from natural, renewable materials—usually red cedar—are biodegradable and provide a rustic look that weathers to a beautiful silver gray.
